He jumps off and proceeds to escape, only to be found by some workers who take him to a boardroom.
There, he meets the new toys whom the company intend to replace him with: a Transformers-esque action figure named Daxx Blastar and his cat, Comet. Elsewhere in the city, Woody and the gang are in a box on a truck. They have a flashlight with them so that it won't be pitch black, but the batteries suddenly die. Due to her fear of the dark, Jessie jumps off of the truck and the other toys follow. Not knowing where the factory is, they proceed to jump into the basket underneath a passing stroller.
Back at the factory, Buzz is taken to an archive room for recalled toys where he meets two dolls: Cindy Scissors, who has blades hidden in her legs and Rosey, a bed warmer who was recalled because she had a high risk of over-heating.

At the moment the toys end up on the conveyor belt, Andy's other toys arrive and quickly shut down the Smasher, but not before one of Buzz's legs gets cushed. Luckily, with Cindy and Rosey's help, they are able to get Buzz to the toy repair room where they not only fix his leg but put in a new chip so he won't malfunction any longer.
