Disney Pixar CARS 2: The Lemon Henchman Gang Of Professor Z
The henchman of CARS 2 fall under several branches of scum and villainy.
The head of the four of the five crime families (Hugo’s, Pacer’s, Gemlin’s and Trunkov’s) with their top notch bodyguards are featured here.
Professor Zundapp or Professor Z has a more hodge-podge approach (aka: in the world domination game, he’s not like the others, he doesn’t really need them all in the same color jumpsuits).
His gang of skullduggeries can be split into three camps:
His most trusted lieutenants.
The rusted & junk yard dog CARS.
The rest.
His most trusted lieutenants – half have already gotten a release including GREM (the orange one), ACER (the light bright green one), TYLER GREMLIN (the red one) …
And FRED PACER (the yellow one) (aka: Fred Fisbowski).
… leaving a blue Pacer …
a Purple Pacer & a light Blue Gremlin unreleased so far.
Then he’s got a HUGE PAYROLL of Mo’ Rusted Minions with no rack & pinions …

Why can’t they do more of the repaints like this that we actually want? I would army build these like crazy.
I’m still waiting for an all black Pacer or Gremlin, or Rod in his disguise (pale orange with lime green hockey stick).
Mattel needs to release all-Pacer and all-Gremlin box sets.
It’s neat when you look at the big picture and see that some of the Gremlins and Pacers have mismatched panels. It’s also cool that in the back shot you can see the black Pacer with the white “skunk” stripe on it. That car is featured in one of the Cars 2 posters.
where’s petrov trunkof? the single #18 or 19 i think.
I assumed these cars were still part of their own make’s family but were working with Professor Z on this project…?
That’s what I was thinking too. Unless they were banished from the family or something…
Me too, Professor Z is a hired consultant. His ‘muscle’ belong to his employers.
i’ve never seen so many gremlins and pacers in one place before. it’s like an amc convention.
“Long Live Repaints!”
Don’t forget Rod Torque Redline disguised as a Gremlin in the bathroom scene.
(I think he was purple with an orange or yellow stripe?) Bruce Campbell had one of the best lines in the movie at that point, something about “you guys always have to look like this.”
Some great pics! And great info! I would love to be able to customise cars too now.
It will be fun to build an army of lemons. The four we have get played with all the time.
I may need to get another display case just to hold the lemons… wonder how long it will take Mattel to release them?
TFAD: the greatest website in the world!!
My son is hoping Mattel makes all of them!
