Professor Z, Tomber Drive Into Cars 2

March 3, 2011 by Samad Rizvi 2 Comments

Two additional Cars 2 characters have been revealed today – Professor Z and Tomber! We have seen Professor Z in previous material, in which he comes across as a character with mysterious intentions. However, Tomber is brand new, and puts an interesting twist on the concept of cars – he has only three wheels. Read on for character images and descriptions.

Official Description:

Professor Z, aka “The Professor,” is an internationally wanted weapons designer in a small, sophisticated German package. He is a brilliant, but mad monocle-wearing scientist who is plotting to sabotage the World Grand Prix. Though his true motive is unclear, Professor Z is willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate all obstacles and keep the “project” on schedule.

Official Description:

Tomber is a dubious little French car with an unusual, and very unstable, three-wheeled design that befits the meaning of his name – to fall. By trade he deals car parts from a stall in a Parisian market—though his questionable merchandise sources have led to his reluctant acquaintance with British secret agent Finn McMissile.

====================

It is great to see even the characters with the smaller roles being given great backstories. They are more complex and infinitely more interesting that way.

Cars 2 hits theaters on June 24, 2011!
