## *Toy Story 2*

"When Slinky Dog asks the Rock 'Em Sock' Em Robots in Al's office if they've seen Woody, the two hotheads come to blows about who Slinky was talking to first. This pair are just too punchy to be helpful."
They are two fighting robot toys (based off the real-life Marx Company toy) owned by Al McWhiggin and kept in his office at Al's Toy Barn. While Buzz Lightyear (who is really Utility Belt Buzz) and the rest of Andy's toys are searching Al's office for Woody, Slinky Dog encounters the robots and asks them if they've seen him (labeling Woody as a "cowboy doll with a bad arm" since his owner Andy ripped his right arm by accident while playing with him and Buzz). The blue robot named Blue Bomber politely tells him that they haven't seen Woody, but then the red one named Red Rocker starts to argue with him over who was being asked, and the two of them begin fighting, as Slinky watches in shock. The fight ends with the Blue Bomber winning (as shown by the Red Rocker's head popping up), and Slinky nervously backs away. They are voiced by the film's directors John Lasseter (Blue Bomber) and Lee Unkrich (Red Rocker).
