[edit] Tex's Job in the trailers
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In the trailers that Tex makes an appearance in, He fixes the THX logo when it breaks down or has a problem.
- First, he configures the logo's operations on a trap door on the X in THX. An extended plug is also on the trap door for connecting to an object that has an outlet. (Such as the "Moo Can".)
- Then, he goes to the T in THX to turn on the power when all configurations is fixed for the audience. The logo floats in the air and Deep Note plays.
- A 2006 one shown at Superman Returns has Tex hovering in front of a car until he gets sucked into the car's engine. He swirls around inside the engine components until he finally gets blown back out the car's exhaust pipe, and we hear the crescendo.
Spoilers end here.
