Acer is one of the secondary antagonists of the 2011 Disney/Pixar animated film, Cars 2, the other being Grem.
Appearances
Cars 2
Acer has always felt like an outcast in the car world. The beat-up green AMC Pacer joined forces with his fellow “lemon” cars as henchmen for the devious Professor Z, whose clandestine mission is to wreak havoc at the highly visible World Grand Prix. Acer must hunt down the American and British secret agents who have stolen crucial information about Professor Z’s underhanded plot. His primary target just happens to be Mater, who has been mistaken for a spy. Acer tries very hard to be a tough guy, but he is over eager compared to his no-nonsense partner Grem.
During the climax of the film, he and Grem were beaten up by the cars from the "Ye Left Turn Inn." It is unknown what happened to them afterward.
