From Wikipedia, “Anti-Buzz is depicted as an evil robot duplicate of Buzz Lightyear with a spark-driven “laser” built into his right arm, although he too did not appear in the actual film, being a mere spin-off character.” The film was Toy Story.
Would this have been a good villian in Toy Story 2 instead of Zurg?
I have two of these guys, and I remember wondering if he’d appear in TS2 before it came out. But Zurg is a better character I think, although it would’ve been funny if Anti-Buzz did everything opposite Buzz…
He did (not exactly like this, but more of an evil alternate universe Buzz with a beard). I prefer Zurg myself, but Anti-Buzz would have been cool for that video game sequence.
An alternate version was, but it was Buzz with a sport coat and a little beard.
Here’s the Wikipedia article: “A ruthless, pure evil version of Buzz Lightyear from an alternate reality which he conquered. He was his reality’s ruler, head of a vast evil empire, and was very cruel and cunning, manipulating Zurg and Gravitina (who adored him) to his own wicked ends. He is the exact opposite of Buzz in personality and demeanor, wears a modified uniform in colors similar to Zurg’s, and has a goatee (a reference to Star Trek, where evil doubles tend to sport that hairstyle). However, he can survive things like Buzz that most people can’t, such as surviving his ship’s own explosion or falling into the sun.”
I dunno. I think i’d want a more creative name than Anti-Buzz first of all. Between the 2 of them though, I much prefer Zurg. Zurg is funny and it just makes sense for Buzz to go after his arch enemy, rather than an evil duplicate of himself. I do remember him from the animated series, but I dont remember him being called Anti-Buzz.
