Official Bio's[]

As a henchman for a villainous boss Professor Z, Grem and his partner-in-crime Acer are trying to sabotage the World Grand Prix and the famous race cars competing in it. When Grem and Acer mistake Mater for an American agent with important top-secret information, the ruthless lemons set out on a-round the globe to stop Mater from foiling their evil scheme.

Acer[]

Acer tries very hard to be a tough guy, but he's over-eager compared to his no-nonsense accomplice Grem.

Biography[]

Cars 2[]

They first appear at the end of Leland Turbo recording for Finn McMissile and killed the agent. They show his corpse to Zündapp and chase McMissile on the oil rig and then on battleships. One of the ships sends a torpedo at Finn and Grem, believing him dead, announces to Z that they got him.

They then appear at Tokyo and assault the American agent, Rod Redline. Thanks to Mater's intervention, Rod sends him the information chip without his knowing it and lets himself be captured by the two lemons. In their secret lair, Grem activates the wave camera on Rod and Acer tries to get him to confess to whom he gave the information. They find out that Mater has them and kill the agent.

Hidden in the stands during the first race, Grem and Acer blow up several racers and are ordered to kill Mater, however they fail after a fight against Finn that they thought to be dead. The two ones stalk Mater to the airport and chase him with McMissile on the take-off runways but fail again to kill him.

The next time we see Grem and Acer is in Porto Corsa, Italia. On a catwalk, they continue to blast racers with the camera, which delights Acer. As McMissile runs to stop them, the two had anticipated and the agent is captured by helicopter.

During the last race in London, Grem and Acer tied up Mater, Holley and Finn inside Big Bentley. They laugh as they explain that they have to kill Lightning McQueen who still wants to use Allinol to compete. But for some reason they don't know, the camera didn't work and Z orders them to go to plan B. Knowing that Mater would go and rescue McQueen, they placed a bomb in his air filter in order to detonate him once he got to the pit. The professor in charge of detonating the bomb is out of Lightning's reach, as he was taken away by Mater. Grem and Acer go away to kill them themselves but Holley, in flight, collides with them and the two lemons jumps in a tavern. The customers, furious by the chaos they have caused, beat them up. Although it is mostly speculated that they were pummeled to death, it is still rather unknown as to what happened to Grem and Acer afterwards, though it is also possible that even if they did survive the beating, they would eventually be found and arrested in London for their numerous crimes, such as crushing Leland Turbo, torturing Rod Redline, and sabotaging the World Grand Prix.

Trivia[]

Grem and Acer were the only characters to be voiced by two actors from Chicago, Illinois.

Grem and Acer seem to have a friendship with each other, as they are almost always seen together and make sure they are by each other's side. However whether they actually care for one another or are just using each other for their own goals is hard to determine.
Their fates are currently unknown, but likely they got arrested for their crimes.
