User blog:AustinDR/PE Proposal: Sir Miles Axlerod and Professor Zündapp

Saw this being suggested, but it was a flimsy job. So....

Who is he?
Sir Miles Axlerod is the main antagonist of Cars 2, a rather...disliked movie in the Pixar animated canon. This time, it is a spy movie where Tow Mater ends up getting into cahoots with Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. Axlerod sets up a racing tournament known as the World Grand Prix where he would also be promoting a new type of fuel called Allinol. However, he is actually in cahoots with Professor Zündapp and is actually an old model known as a "Lemon." The two discovered a massive oil reserve and are working together to have the racers in the World Grand Prix use Allinol, and Zundapp would use a weaponized camera to ignite the fuel and cause accidents solely so that everyone would return to using natural oil and they would be rolling in that sweet, sweet monay.

Accidents transpire, and Axlerod proposes to suspend the races due to the incidents. Lighting McQueen, however, decides to continue onward...so Axlerod tasks Zundapp with using his weaponized camera on McQueen and kill him. McQueen of course escapes...but the two anticipated it and they place a bomb underneath his hood. They utterly lack any sort of concern that if the bomb went off several cars could be caught in the crossfire, and Tow Mater races to find McQueen to warn him. Zundapp is apprehended but the bomb could only be deactivated by voice recognition. It wasn't Zundapp btw. Realziing this, Mater finds Axlerod and intimidates him with the bomb. Not wanting to die, Axlerod deactivates the bomb and is promptly arrested.

Freudian Excuse
Mentions being mistreated due to being an old model, but that really doesn't explain why he became so greedy and murderous. He also expresses no care for his fellow Lemons and as for Zundapp...there's no friendship there. It's just business; one where they can both benefit, but they never show any care or concern for the other.

Heinous standard
Stages several car accidents as a means of getting the populace to reconsider using natural oil to line his...tanks? Also shows no concern that a majority of cars that could potentially get caught in the explosion used to kill Mater and die as a result. Also appoints Zundapp with the attempted murders. Zundapp himself I feel also qualifies since he's the one that is the muscle of the operation and had personally executed a few spies in surprisingly child unfriendly ways.

Verdict
Probably one of the more evil villains that the Cars franchise has to offer alongside his dragon.
