Tony Trihull (credited as "Combat Ship") is a minor antagonist in Cars 2.
Cars 2
Tony is one of the heavily-equipped combat ships who works for Professor Z. He serves as a guard and transportation for the Professor and the lemons. He is first seen in the beginning of the film, where he confronts Crabby, who has Finn McMissile aboard him, and tells him to turn around while pointing his lazer weapon at him which forces Crabby to leave. Without Tony knowing, Finn McMissile hitches a ride on him where Tony arrives at the oil rigs. He is later seen towards the end in London, when Professor Z is trying to escape, yelling for the Professor to hurry and get aboard him. Finn McMissile stops the Professor, which forces Tony to use a magnetic device pulling the Professor to him. McMissile then shoots out several mini-bombs out of his wheels which cling on to Tony's magnet, resulting in a huge explosion killing Tony.
Cars 2: The Video Game
In the video game, he appears in the intro scene riding around the oil rig. Then, he appears in one of the Oil Rig tracks, where if you get caught in a spot light, he would say something like "You don't belong here." Then a weapon will be aimed at you, and the weapon would blow you up. Or maybe, that was the other battle boat.
Model
Tony is modeled after the USS Independence (LCS-2), a trimaran Littoral Combat Ship in service with the U.S. Navy. It is reflected in his hull number (02) and last name "Tri-Hull".
Trivia
