The Negativitron is the main antagonist and the final boss in LittleBigPlanet 2.
Story[]
LittleBigPlanet 2[]
Not much is known of his origins or of how he came to exist; but in Into The Heart Of The Negativitron, he claimed that the Alliance created him based on their negative traits:
Larry Da Vinci's short tempers, Victoria von Bathysphere's insecurity, Clive Handforth's depression, Avalon Centrifuge's vanity, Eve Silva Paragorica's self-absorption, and Dr. Herbert Higginbotham's insanity.
He is first seen in the Introduction sucking up the land where Sackboy is. He almost sucked up Sackboy himself, but Da Vinci saves him. The Negativitron seems unbothered by this however.
Sometime after, he had attacked Victoria's Laboratory, (with Victoria escaping) and had taken all of the Sackbots to Clive's Factory, (which he had taken over beforehand) leaving some mutated sackbots behind to hinder The Alliance. He also corrupted Victoria's brainwave machine, creating Kling Klong to defeat Sackboy, Larry Da Vinci, and Victoria, but he was unsuccessful.
In Fowl Play, Got the Hump, and The Sackbot Redemption, he continues to hinder the alliance, though all of these attempts are unsuccessful. In the first of the three, he corrupts Copernicus, Clive's robotic guard turkey, to attack you.
When The Alliance goes to look for Dr. Herbert Higginbotham to fix Huge Spaceship, it was revealed by Clive that the former was in Eve's Asylum, due to him being infected with one of The Negativitron's meanies at his factory. When Sackboy and Clive arrive at Eve's Asylum, she tells them that The Negativitron attacked the asylum and sent his meanies to infiltrate the chakras of her trees. When she starts talking about "how her patients are nothing without her care," The Negativitron interrupts her by yelling: "YOU FEED ME!"
In Negativitron Incoming, The Negativitron appears and ends up sucking up and capturing Avalon, much to the disdain and worry of the rest of the Alliance. In Set the Controls for the Heart of the Negativitron, he attacks Huge Spaceship and causes it to crash on the surface of his Planet. The Meanies then capture the Alliance and create a force-field around them, but Sackboy manages to save them.
At the beginning cutscene of Into The Heart Of The Negativitron, he sends out Meanies and copies of Copernicus to attack the good Sackbots. He then appears in front of the Alliance claiming that "they could never truly defeat him" because they created him. He then blows the Alliance out of the way and focuses on defeating Sackboy. Unfortunately for him, with the help of the Alliance, The Negativitron is defeated.
LittleBigPlanet 3[]
The Negativtron doesn't appear physically in LittleBigPlanet 3, but he is mentioned by Newton in a quote: "Long ago, Before the Negativatron nearly layed waste to craftworld..."
He also has a cameo in the LittleBigPlanet 3 Challenge "Panel Beating" where his decoration is seen before you enter the Challenge.
Run Sackboy! Run![]
In the mobile game Run Sackboy! Run!, Sackboy has to run from The Negativitron through The Gardens, Avalonia, and The Canyons.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
The appearance of the Negativitron consists of an overly-large vacuum with demon like characteristics, such as horns and sharp teeth, while being coloured purple. Once the Negativitron starts sucking up the area, a large spiral centred at his mouth appears and starts sucking everything in its path!
In the beta versions of LittleBigPlanet 2, the Negativitron was originally called "The Sucker", and resembled a vacuum cleaner more than anything else, and had two eyes (the eyes were meanie eyes instead of the evil magic eyes used in the final game) and there was only 1 vacuum segment.
Past the serpentine appearance, the Negativitron has a planet body made out of junk and scrap metal, with red metal structures not unlike those in The Factory of a Better Tomorrow, implying that he sucked them up, deeper in the fiend is a layer of green blocky material, which appears to have little gravity if the floating blocks mean anything. The final layer appears to consist of tunnels made out of modeling clay, within the center is a green box with an orange lid, which hides the heart of the Negativitron, it is pink and has various veins connecting to the rest of the box. Transparent clusters full of creativity are scattered around the inside of this box, entangled within amorphous, blob-like substances similar to plastic wrap.
Though the Negativitron can be seen in many forms during the course of the story mode, his default form is comprised of:
- 2 Vacuum Head Front Objects (for the upper and lower jaws)
- 10 Curved Meanie Horn decorations (2 Horns, 8 Teeth)
- 4 Orange Evil Magic Eyes (coloured orange)
- Neon Bevel material (for the vacuum segments)
- Bolts (to hold the vacuum segments together)
- Basic Cardboard coloured black with stickers (for the basic jaw structure)
- Spotlight object (set to purple and coloured black with stickers)
Name[]
His name is a play on the word "negativity" and "tron" (creation), referring to what he represents as a creation of negativity.
Voice example[]
Trivia[]
- The Negativitron is voiced by Jeremy Mayne, an audio designer of Media Molecule, as well as the composer of The Shrew's Gambit from the Move Pack.
- There is no spiral in the Negativitron decoration.
- In A Nurse, A Tree And A Duck, it comes in saying "You, feed me!", possibly quoting Audrey II from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's "Little Shop of Horrors."
- The Negativitron appears along with Sackboy in PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale as a cameo.
- In some cutscenes, the crafted Negativitron is replaced by the 'Negativitron Head' and 'Negativitron Pipe' decoration pieces.
- The Negativitron's default form seen throughout Story Mode is different from the final boss version. Its jaw is held in place with black-coloured cardboard and does not move, and it has a purple light in its mouth instead of a swirl.
- The evil accordion's sound effects in Piano of Peril are actually the Negativitron's with the pitch turned all the way up.
- Ever since the introduction of the Negativatron, it has been a Unique Villain in LittleBigPlanet that it was mentioned numerous time after Sackboy's victory against it.

- The Cakeling was one of Victoria's cakes before it was infected by the Negativatron; becoming one of his Meanie army.
- The names 'Newton' and 'Negativatron' both rhyme and alliterate. It is unknown if this is a coincidence.
- In LittleBigPlanet 3; Newton mentions of The Titans attack on Bunkum during the events of The Negativatron's attack on Craftworld. He says in a quote "Long ago, Before the Negativatron nearly layed waste to craftworld..."
- If you think about it; The Titans and The Negativatron are both alike on the fact that they "absorb" the creativity in the Imagisphere; the connection is illustrated when Newton is shown "absorbing" the creativity in The Prologue, Manglewood, and The Ziggurat Cutscenes.
- The Mobile Game "Run Sackboy! Run!" has the Negativatron stated to return and being a running game Sackboy has to avoid being eaten by the Negativatron through a series of obstacles. Being like other running games you have get as far as possible before you hit one of the "Hazards" and it commences a Game Over.
- He is also seen in the LittleBigPlanet 3 Challenge "Panel Beating" were he is seen in background before you enter the Challenge.
- The Negativatron could be the vacuum at the end of LittleBigPlanet 2's intro due to them both being vacuum cleaners. and the one seen in the intro also seems to be sucking creativity in the form of stickers.
- He and Vex are the only main antagonists in the LittleBigPlanet games that did not reform and become good.
