- "No, no, guys! You've got the wrong Buzz! You've got the wrong Buzz!"
- —Andy's Buzz, trapped in a cardboard box, as Andy's toys mistake Ultra Buzz for himself
Ultra Buzz Lightyear is a minor character in Toy Story 2. Being a toy, he is essentially like every other Buzz Lightyear manufactured, as he believes he is a real space ranger. He looks similar to Andy's Buzz, except he normally has his helmet on, and he sports a blue utility belt as a new accessory.
Toy Story 2

- Buzz Lightyear: "Ow! Listen to me! Listen to me! You're not really a Space Ranger! You're a toy! We're all toys! Do you hear me?!"
- Ultra Buzz Lightyear: "Well, that should hold you until the court martial."
- Buzz Lightyear: "Let me go! You don't realize what you're doing!"
- ―Ultra Buzz stuffs Andy's Buzz into an empty cardboard box[src]
While searching through Al's Toy Barn, Andy's Buzz Lightyear is amazed to discover an aisle full of new Buzz Lightyear action figures. He sees "NEW UTILITY BELT!" on the display stand and, thinking he would like nice with the new belt, climbs up to encounter this Buzz Lightyear action figure. When he foolishly attempts to take this Buzz's belt, Ultra Buzz suddenly springs to life, mistaking him for a rogue space ranger and overpowering him in a fight. Ultra Buzz, not knowing he is a toy, subdues Andy's Buzz and takes the latter as the former's prisoner. Ultra Buzz ties and stuffs Andy's Buzz into a Buzz Lightyear box as Andy's Buzz tries to convince Ultra Buzz that he is a toy, but he refuses to listen. Irritated by Andy's Buzz's reasoning, Ultra Buzz isolates Andy's Buzz by placing him on the shelf with the newer Buzz Lightyear toys. He, like the original Buzz in the previous film, believes that he is a real space ranger, although he is even more deluded than Andy's Buzz initially was (e.g. when Andy's Buzz has mumbled whether he has been this deluded in embarrassment of his former behavior, which he wishes to leave in the past).
When Tour Guide Barbie drives the toys into the Buzz Lightyear aisle, Hamm calls to Ultra Buzz, thinking he's Andy's Buzz. Ultra Buzz turns on his laser as Tour Guide Barbie stops the car. He is at first suspicious of Andy's toys, but when Rex excitedly claims that he knows how to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg, Ultra Buzz decides to join the toys on their quest, considering them his allies while thinking that they are on a mission to infiltrate Zurg's fortress, defeat the evil emperor, and possibly rescue a kidnapped person taken hostage by Zurg himself (not realizing that they are really referring to Rex's video game). The toys then leave the aisle, leaving Andy's Buzz tied up in a box on the shelf, struggling to get out. As the toys leave with Ultra Buzz, Andy's Buzz screams out to them that they have the wrong Buzz, but since he is in a thick cardboard spaceship-shaped box, none of them can hear him. At several points, Ultra Buzz nicknames Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex "slotted pig," "vegetable man," and "lizard man," respectively, and imagines the owner of Al's Toy Barn (Al McWhiggin, the same man who has kidnapped Woody) as a possible agent of Zurg (he even calls Al the "poultry man" since Andy's toys called him the "chicken man" after seeing him in his chicken costume). He tells the toys to get into Al's bag, thinking he might help them reach Zurg. After the toys arrive outside the building that houses Al's Penthouse, Ultra Buzz finds the air vent and after removing the cover, navigates the toys through the vents, despite Mr. Potato Head growing more suspicious of his cocky attitude ("I'm Buzz Lightyear. I'm always sure!"). When the vents start shaking, Ultra Buzz thinks that their presence has been detected and that the walls are closing in and attempts to use Mr. Potato help spot it before Rex sees that the rumbling is actually the elevator. Buzz uses his magnets and grappling hook to climb the elevator shaft and ignores Hamm's idea of taking the elevator instead as he believes "Zurg's henchmen" are expecting for them to do that. During the climb, Rex slips and pushes the toys to the bottom of the line, causing Ultra Buzz's strength to give out, prompting him to activate his anti-gravity servos (unaware that it won't work since he is just a toy). Despite protest from the toys, Ultra Buzz lets go of the wall, and the toys land on a conveniently rising elevator that takes them up to level 23. He stupidly thinks that his anti-gravity servos is really working (not realizing that he's actually riding the elevator) and by coincidence, the elevator stops when he deactivates his anti-gravity servos. He is unaware that Andy's Buzz (who broke out of the box he trapped him in) is tracking and following him along with the rest of the toys.
Ultra Buzz acts literally when he tells Rex to "use his head," and the toys then use him as a battering ram to break into Al's penthouse. In the ensuing melee that follows, Ultra Buzz and the toys grab Woody and head back for the vent, but Andy's Buzz stops them. In a brief argument between the two Buzz Lightyear toys, Andy's Buzz angrily opens Ultra Buzz's helmet, causing the latter to think he is suffocating under "toxic" air, and proves that the former is the Buzz the other toys recognize by flashing Andy's name written on the sole of his foot; though before this, the toys were willing to accept him when they didn't buy Ultra Buzz's behavior. After closing his helmet and regaining his composure, Ultra Buzz is initially confused at what is happening, but is stunned yet happy to learn from Andy's Buzz about "Code 546," then walks over to Woody and kneels in front of him, delightedly addressing Woody as "Your Majesty."
Ultra Buzz battling Emperor Zurg in the elevator shaft.
When the toys head back to the elevator after Al packs Woody and the Roundup gang into his case and leaves the room, they encounter a Zurg action figure (let loose accidentally by Andy's Buzz when leaving Al's Toy Barn), whom Ultra Buzz engages in a fierce battle, with Rex warning Ultra Buzz about Zurg's weapon beforehand. During this fight, Zurg overpowers Ultra Buzz and claims that he is his father, causing Ultra Buzz to scream in disbelief. After Rex accidentally knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft with his tail, Ultra Buzz forlornly thinks he has lost his father. After the toys exit the apartment, Andy's Buzz runs into Ultra Buzz one last time when the other Buzz is last seen playing ball with Zurg to form a real father-son bond. He calls Zurg a "great dad," as Andy's Buzz bids him farewell with a Vulcan salute and leaves.
Toy Story 3
While Ultra Buzz is not seen in Toy Story 3, he is referenced in the Buzz Lightyear manual at Sunnyside Daycare, describing the Buzz Lightyear Utility Belt as an upcoming accessory.
Utility Belt Features
Buzz's NEW Utility Belt
- Hamm: "Say, where'd you get that cool belt, Buzz?"
- Ultra Buzz Lightyear: "Well, slotted pig, they're standard issue."
- ―Hamm asks Ultra Buzz about his utility belt[src]
- Anti-Gravity Servos - When the button in the center of the belt is pressed, it will light up and make noises, mirroring how it was used in Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg (in the game, it lights up and creates a bubble around Buzz).
- Climbing magnets - On each side of the belt, protruding handles can be pulled out, and magnets will fold out of each. These magnets can be used to scale metal surfaces.
- Grappling hook - In addition, a grappling hook is stored in the back compartment of the belt.
Trivia
- When Ultra Buzz fights with Zurg, the latter claims he is the former's father, a word-to-word parody of when Darth Vader reveals that he is Luke Skywalker's father in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
- In a shot where Andy's Buzz encounters Ultra Buzz, the camera starts on the former climbing up a display stand, zooms out to reveal a pair of legs, and pans up to reveal the latter standing tall. A similar pattern happened in the first film where Woody climbs up Andy's bed to encounter the original Buzz.
- When Andy's Buzz opens Ultra Buzz's helmet to make him gasp for air, it mirrors when Woody opens the original Buzz's helmet in the previous film.
- There is also a Toy Story Collection version of Ultra Buzz.
- In Toy Story 2: The Video Game, Ultra Buzz is a boss at Al's Space Land riding a moon buggy. Strangely, however, he doesn't have the utility belt.
- Code 6404.5, as Ultra Buzz mentions, is actually the California "No-Smoking" Code.
- In the novelization of Toy Story 2, Ultra Buzz is not shown playing catch with Zurg but instead, carrying his lifeless body back to Al's Toy Barn to give him a burial.
- The scene was also reminiscent to the climax to Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalker, while evacuating the soon-to-be-destroyed Death Star, was dragging his father, Darth Vader, to the latter's shuttle due to Vader, having been exposed to a full dose of Emperor Palpatine's Force Lightning to save Luke from the latter, having his life support armor being suffering irreparable damage to such an extent that he was no longer able to walk there without help.
- In fact, According to John Lasseter on the Toy Story 2 DVD commentary, as Andy's Buzz and the rest of the toys were making their way to the Pizza Planet truck, Ultra Buzz was carrying Zurg and said he was going to be burying his "father", implying that Zurg would have died from the fall. They changed the scene to have Ultra Buzz playing catch with Zurg since they felt that Ultra Buzz carrying a dead Zurg would be too morbid.
- Ultra Buzz was presumably created to promote the Buzz Lightyear video game that Rex was earlier seen playing, as the belt resembled the one in the game, and he once attempted to activate the anti-gravity servos that were from that game.
- Ultra Buzz's fight with Zurg copies the events of the video game that Rex was playing at the start of the second film. The only difference is that Ultra Buzz does not get killed (due to the fact that Zurg's ammo is just harmless plastic balls).
- Ultra Buzz does a high jump over Zurg as he opens fire at them, just like in the video game.
- Zurg also says the exact same thing that his video game counterpart said before the fight.
- Ultra Buzz throwing washers at Zurg, who deflects them all but one, references the part where Buzz uses a metal circle to deflect Zurg's fire blasts and then throws it at him.
