In ''[[Cars 2]]'', he breaks down on the way to Radiator Springs, having done so nine times before in the same month, but this time only halfway to the county line. He is towed by [[Mater]] for the rest of the journey to be taken to [[Ramone]] for repair, feeling glad that at least one car respects lemons like him. When Mater sees that [[Lightning McQueen]] has returned from winning the [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]], he forgets that he is still towing Otis as he quickly heads over to greet McQueen, causing Otis to get scraped against the road as he goes. At the moment Mater finally stops, Otis is inadvertently let go straight into [[Ramone's House of Body Art]], where Ramone is waiting for him. | |||
At the end of the film, Otis has broken down again, but Mater, with a pair of rockets that [[Finn McMissile]] and [[Holley Shiftwell]] gave him, tows him all the way to Ramone's House of Body Art at a high speed. | At the end of the film, Otis has broken down again, but Mater, with a pair of rockets that [[Finn McMissile]] and [[Holley Shiftwell]] gave him, tows him all the way to Ramone's House of Body Art at a high speed. | ||

Otis is painted | Otis is painted light blue, with a rusty tan bumper and gray headlights. He has chrome rims. He is a 1972 [[Shyster]] Cremlin. a model based on the Lada Riva 2107 (despite Otis being American), with a license plate reading "06 05 62", which represents his voice actor, which is [[Jeff Garlin]]'s birthday (June 5, 1962). He has a chrome grille. Ironically, the front end heavily resembles a retro-modern version of the 2007-2013 GMC Sierra (albeit continuing production by two years later after the events of the film, and different inner grille bars), despite Otis being actually classified as a supermini car ([[Fred]] also shares this too). | ||
===Personality and traits=== | ===Personality and traits=== | ||
Unlike other lemons | Unlike other lemons (especially [[Grem]] and [[Acer]]), Otis is not involved in their plot and has no evil intentions at all whatsoever. He is generally kind and compassionate, as he always thanks Mater for his service no matter how he was dragged to repairs (despite the carnage ripped on him on the way). He appreciates how Mater always treats him with respect. | ||

*''Otis is no stranger to the tow hook in Radiator Springs. He's broken down more times than Mater's cousin [[Betsy]] after he got left at the altar. He's an old jalopy who wasn't quite up to snuff even when he left the factory, and life's been a challenge ever since. New parts are not available, and he's reached the limit on his roadside service card. In fact, Ramone has repaired him almost weekly for the past few months. Poor Otis just wants to spend some time on the open road... trouble free.'' | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*While he occasionally visits Radiator Springs, it is unclear whether or not he is a resident there. | |||
*His model bears a very close resemblance to [[Fred]], except a lot less rust. Although the ''[[Meet the Cars]]'' book says otherwise. | |||
*Otis and [[Victor Hugo]] are the only lemon cars that are not able to drive during the film, and also the only ones that are towed by Mater. | |||
*Otis is the only lemon that is not allied with the antagonists at all. | |||
**However, like all other lemons, he is not respected, as he claims that Mater "is the only one that's nice to lemons like me." | |||
*In the description of "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z99mQ5jnjsk ''Mater is the Best Tow Truck in Town!'']" on the official ''Pixar Cars'' YouTube channel, for some reason Otis is accidentally mistakenly referred to as [[Stanley]], the founder of Radiator Springs. | |||
