Biography[]
Cars 2[]
Acer first appeared on the oil platform as one of the Lemons, who thought they had killed Finn McMissile. He was next seen in Japan when he along with Grem attacked Rod "Torque" Redline in the bathroom. Rod then managed to pass along a device containing information to Mater (who happened to be there) regarding the conspiracy plot.
Afterward, as Grem tested the electromagnetic pulse camera that would be used to blow out the race cars' engines during the World Grand Prix on Rod, Acer interrogated him to find out which of the cars Rod spoke to had the device. When he showed a picture of Mater, Professor Z noticed the look in Rod's eyes and discovered Mater was the one and had him killed. Acer was assigned to help Grem use the camera on the race cars during the World Grand Prix. He aimed the camera beam at racers and with the result of the Allinol heating up, blew out their engines. Grem and Acer also caused a big crash in Italy. After Mater, Finn, and Holley tried to stop the lemons, they were all captured. Grem and Acer were then assigned to kill McQueen using the camera but since Sarge switched out the Allinol with Fillmore's organic biofuel mixture, the camera beam did not work properly.
When Mater discovered the bomb strapped to his radiator and McQueen chased Mater down to see what the situation was, Acer along with Grem pursued them throughout London until Holley Shiftwell intervened and threw Grem and Acer off the road and into the Ye Left Turn Inn restaurant where they are last seen being beaten up by an angry cars bigger and stronger than them. It is completely unknown what happened to Acer and Grem afterwards, but it is likely that in case they were not beaten to death by the car clients (as they were just angry albeit most probably without murderous intentions), they were later taken into custody with the other Lemons.
Cars 3[]
Acer doesn't makes his physical appearance in Cars 3, when Smokey and McQueen are in Smokey's garage, there is a newspaper with an image of him falling into a sewer truck.

| “ | Acer: Ay! What's so funny? Rod: Well, you know, I was just wearing a disguise. You guys are stuck looking like that! [gets dropped] Allinol? Thanks, fellas. I hear this stuff is good for you! Zündapp: So you think? Allinol by itself is good for you… but, after microscopic examination, I have found that it has one small weakness: when hit with an electromagnetic pulse, it becomes… extremely dangerous! Grem: Smile, for the camera! Rod: Is that all you want? I got a whole act! Zündapp: You were very interested in this camera on the oil platform. Now, you will witness what it really does. Rod: Whatever you say Professor. Acer: You talked up a lot of cars last night! Which one's your associate? Rod: Your mother! Oh, no, I'm sorry, it was your sister. You know, I can't tell them apart these days. Grem: Can I start it now, Professor Z? Zündapp: Go 50% power. [turns to Rod] This camera is actually an electromagnetic pulse emitter. Acer: What about her? Did you give to her? Zündapp: The Allinol is now heating to a boil, dramatically expanding, causing the engine block to crack under the stress, forcing oil into the combustion chamber. Acer: How about him? Did you talk to him? Rod: Why do I care? I can replace an engine block! Zündapp: You may be able to but, after full impact of the pulse, unfortunately, there will be nothing to replace. Acer: How about him? Does he have it? Zündapp: That's him, he's the one. Grem: Roger that, Professor Z. Rod: No! Zündapp: [to Axlerod on the microspeaker] Yes, sir. We believe the infiltrator has passed along sensitive information. I will take care of it before any damage can be done. [to the Lemons] The project is still on schedule. You will find the second agent, and kill him! |
