Role[]
LittleBigPlanet 2[]
The Negativitron first appears in the tutorial/prologue of LittleBigPlanet 2. He sucks up the world and almost consumes Sackboy, but he is saved by Larry Da Vinci. Da Vinci reveals that the Negativitron has been attacking and consuming several creations and worlds, and that he is part of a resistance against the Negativitron called the Alliance. Sackboy joins them and begins training.
Throughout the game, Sackboy and the Alliance battle Meanies, minions of the Negativitron.
The Negativitron returns in the level "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Negativitron", where he attacks the Alliance's ship, simply called the "Huge Spaceship". They crash on the Negativitron's planet, which is presumably where everything he consumes is stored and may even be his main body. The Negativitron captures Avalon Centrifuge, and Sackboy battles through the Meanies on the planet to save him.
In the last level, "Into the Heart of the Negativitron", the Alliance makes their way to the planet's core, which contains the heart of the Negativitron. The Sackbot army battles the Meanie army, and the Alliance faces the Negativitron. He hides his heart and speaks for the first time, saying he is made of and fueled by the negative emotions of people, including those of the Alliance. He claims that they cannot stop him because they created him.
Sackboy then battles the Negativitron. First, he attacks the Negativitron's brains in the HampsterTron 2000, then fights midair on bounce pads with a Grappling Hook as the Negativitron sucks everything up, and then uses Grabinators to throw cakes at the Negativitron's brains while dodging plasma blasts. After completing these phases, Sackboy stomps on his final brain atop his negativity blob, killing him and releasing all of the creativity back into the Craftverse.
Run Sackboy! Run![]
The Negativitron reappears as the main antagonist and obstacle in the mobile running game, where he appears out of nowhere and chases Sackboy through the Gardens, Avalonia, and the Canyons similarly to the Demon Monkeys from Temple Run. If he catches up to Sackboy, he will suck him up and kill him.
LittleBigPlanet 3[]
The Negativitron is mentioned by Newton in the Prologue, explaining that the Titans ravaged Bunkum in a time long before the Negativitron's rampage across Craftworld.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale[]
The Negativitron appears as a hazard on the "Paris" stage, based on the Sly Cooper series. He sucks up the environment of the stage until there is nothing left, then departs. He also performs three different random attacks: slamming his mouth down on the stage, sucking up players and spitting them back out, and randomly shooting plasma beams.
Personality[]
The Negativitron is vile and sadistic. He is a destructive and genocidal individual who is shown to laugh when attacking and destroying others and their creations. He is extremely determined and will chase the Alliance across the Craftverse to destroy them. He also believes he is indestructible and laughs in the face of oppression. However, this makes him extremely cocky and arrogant, often leading to him underestimating his foes.
Appearance[]
The Negativitron appears as a hybrid between a vacuum cleaner, a dragon, and a robot. Inside his mouth is a swirling purple and black vortex. He also has oozing purple teeth and horns, along with four red serpentine eyes. His whole body is black with the exception of some purple lights on the tubing that makes up the rest of his body. The planet he is attached to is a jumble of in-game items, all with black, purple, and red color tints.
