Tubbs Pacer is a minor antagonist of Disney/Pixar's 2011 animated feature film Cars 2. He was a Lemon who is a member of the Pacer family, and is Acer's twin brother.
Tubbs never set out to lead a crime family, it just worked out that way. As a Pacer in the car world, you don't get much respect on your looks, so you have to earn it. That's why he embraced his negative nicknames, "Upside down bathtub" and dubbed himself "Tubbs". Before long, he was running with a pack of other disrespected Pacers who were also tired of being called "jelly beans" and "junkers". They met up with Professor Z and a whole new bushel of Lemons looking for the same car-world credibility. Tubbs proved his loyalty to this new family over and over, and he soon found himself poised to help take over the world.[1]
Personality[]
Like all the other Lemons, Tubbs Pacer is a cold-hearted terrorist who would do anything for a quick buck. He is also notorious for being a ruthless crime lord and an iron-fisted family leader.
Apparently, he is very sadistic because he loved the idea of discrediting Allinol by using the electromagnetic pulse generator disguised as a camera which would cause the racers to blow their engines, crash, and make sure that every car would keep on using ordinary fuel, securing the profits for the Lemon organization.
Pshysical Appearence[]
Tubbs is painted cream on his hood, sides and roof, and brown on his trunk and rear windshields.
Like the rest of his family, Tubbs is based off of an AMC Pacer. Specifically a 1977 model, since that was the first year the two-tone paint scheme he has came out, and because all models afterwards had a different shaped grill. According to his die-cast, his license plate is 705BN.
Appearences[]
Cars 2[]
He and many members of the Lemons attended a meeting, so they could all discuss on how to discredit Allinol fuel. The Lemons were using the electric pulse generator that looked like a camera to make the racers blow their engines and crash. This would ensure that all the cars would keep using convention fuel to secure the profits for the whole Lemon organization. He liked this idea.
Tim was part of the plan to sabotage the World Grand Prix, and helped the other families in the attempt to destroy the Allinol fuel, along with Lightning McQueen. Near the end of the film, Tubbs gets spray painted by Ramone. After being ambushed by the Radiator Springs crew in the showdown in London, he tries to escape with the remaining lemons, but is arrested on the spot by Sarge and with the British military, and was taken to prison.
