This page mentions some references here, so please keep this page on the side. Thank you! Tex the Robot is the red droid mascot of THX Ltd., and he is characterized by, maybe his optimism, and he usually repairs the THX logo, as seen in his first appearance.

Tex was created and voiced by John Lasseter, who firmly works at Pixar Animation Studios, so he could become the mascot of Lucasfilm's THX that we know today. He apparently debuted on the theatrical release of Independence Day back on July 3, 1996.

Appearance
Tex is a

Tex is a flying robot built to function and look like a handyman. He has:


 * A silver head with two gray ears (the left one having a silver-bald antenna), a mustache, and no visible eyes.
 * A red and silver body with an orange (or red) button and a vent that is either three lines or twelve dots, two gray claw-hands (or gray WALL-E-esque robotic hands sometimes), and conveyor belt-like feet.
 * A jetpack with a checkered pattern near the center of it, activated by the button on his body, which the jetpack emits green dilating/contracting circles.

On top of all that, he usually sports a tool belt and a red hat (with the company's logo on said hat only being shown on their stress doll merchandise).

History
Tex has been the mascot for THX since his first appearance in 1996. He has appeared in a few of the company's logos throughout the years, usually featuring him repairing the logo.

Tex made his first appearance in the trailer of the same name, which debuted on July 3, 1996, with the original theatrical release of Independence Day. He returned in the Tex 2: Moo Can trailer, which debuted Thanksgiving weekend in 1997. He would go on to appear in the third trailer Tex 3: Action, which debuted in June 2006. He's gone on to have cameos and small appearances in the 2019 trailer Genesis and the 2020 trailer Tex vs. the Robot.

Trivia

 * Tex was the first character to be created by THX, followed by Bob.

The Lost THX Tex Trailer Series
On January 12, 2020, a YouTube user by the name Rohan Hordern, created his first ever THX Tex Creepypasta (THXpasta for short), and then posted it onto YouTube, plus including the Creepypasta Wiki page. The story follows Rohan finding a cardboard box behind his backyard, but soon discovers it to be a THX DVD. He decides to watch the disc for himself. In the trailer, Tex killed a camera man, by first chasing him, and stabbing him with his saw.

Later on October 30, 2020, just a few months prior, Rohan released a sequel to the Creepypasta, following Tex killing a man resembling Hayden Christensen (who apparently played Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in the Star Wars trilogy).

Rohan had made an entire series, covering on Lost THX Tex trailers, such as the Deleted Contest Trailer, The Final Lost THX Tex Trailer, Tex and Zurg, an Early 2005 Pilot, A Pixar DVD Boxset, The Banned Monster House Trailer, Tex and Randall, Found Footage, A Star Wars Boxset, and finally, Tex and Zurg 2: Return of the Toys. After that, he had quitted the series because of criticism about crappy THXpastas, but other people on YouTube just went onto the Creepypasta wikis, and created their own THXpastas, so now the series is still running to this day.
