Rocket Corp. is the main antagonistic faction of Animator vs. Animation Season 3.
They are well known by their rocket logo, operating as a research facility run by scientists and engineers who specialize in the researching and manufacturing of animation-based tools and equipment. They also produce other technology-based products such as televisions which are sold to the populace in the Outernet as a mean to fund their projects, as shown in The King.
A research organization that was founded and overseen by victim and Mitsi. During the four-year celebration party on October 2nd, 2011, Mitsi, Agent and many others suddenly began to vanish into green lights due to The Chosen One and The Dark Lord's rampage across the internet, with Newgrounds being their final target. Unfortunately, Mitsi herself was one of the casualties due to the chaos and sociopathic violence, while Agent was one of the few survivors who made it back to the Outernet.
Following the Battle of Newgrounds, victim stepped up as the new C.E.O. in her place but her absence would ultimately lead to Rocket Corp's decline over the next seven years as many would leave the corporation due to it no longer being what it used to be and victim left trapped in his own tortured mind by Mitsi's loss. Until the fateful day of August 19th, 2018 where Agent and another remaining loyal employee revealed to victim footage that was captured on the field of strange activity that revealed a black stick figure and a familiar cursor.
The organization was originally founded by victim and Mitsi as a place for quick and easy repairs to homes, vehicles, and computers, etc. However, after victim took Mitsi's position after her demise, their new goal seems to be to avenge their late boss by terminating both her assailant and the one responsible for his creation, as well as for the inhuman torture he relentlessly inflicted onto victim.
History[]
Foreshadowing[]
The television that King Orange sees playing Animation vs. Minecraft, where he first learns of the Stick Gang and their Minecraft Game Icon, has the organization's logo on its antenna, foreshadowing their future role in the franchise.
Hunting The Chosen One[]
A poster of The Chosen One appears in Cherry Blossoms - An Actual Short, the end text says "Report Sightings To 
" which further foreshadows the events of the second season of Animator vs. Animation Shorts.
At the beginning of Wanted, The Chosen One is seen flying through the city as he is being hunted down by the mercenaries riding in antigravity vehicles while firing at him with very strange devices that cause him to glitch when struck by them. Despite his best efforts, he is fighting a losing battle. Upon remembering how The Second Coming helped him to defeat The Dark Lord several years ago, he escapes to their home on Alan's computer where he takes the orange hollow-head back with him to help fight the mercenaries.
Unfortunately, due to The Second Coming being unable to access his true power at will like last time, the mercenaries overwhelm the duo despite The Second Coming using Alan's pencil icon to fight back against them. The two are frozen by Agent and taken back just as Yellow, Blue, Green and Red arrive only to watch their friend and his predecessor being taken away back to a private research laboratory.
The Second Coming is imprisoned, and his pencil icon is confiscated for testing while The Chosen One, still frozen, is placed inside a white simulation box for unknown reasons while the mercenaries take the elevator to the top floor where they meet with their employer, the organization's boss and the one who hired them to hunt down the super-powered stick figure: none other than the very first stick figure that Alan Becker ever created: victim.
The Box and The Pencil Icon[]
At the beginning of The Box, the workers are seen testing on the pencil tool confiscated from The Second Coming. They are trying to understand how he used it to make the drawings he made come to life, but ultimately fail after multiple attempts of drawing random scribbles in the air. They then decide to bring in The Second Coming to try and get the pencil tool to work. He is transported out of the prison and taken to the test chamber.
Meanwhile, victim and the mercenaries enter the room while passing by The Second Coming. They walk over to the box, where The Chosen One is still imprisoned, and he is unpaused by Agent. Despite his best attempts to escape, his powers are negated by Agent using the Box's capabilities. Realizing that he could not escape, The Chosen One notices there is someone else in the room with him and finally comes face-to-face with his predecessor for the first time. However, he doesn't seem to realize that victim has a connection with him. Despite this, victim begins attacking his successor and gains an immediate advantage when Agent not only weakens The Chosen One but also is able to enhance victim's strength at the same time where the latter is now the one in control of the fight.
Realizing that he is at victim's mercy with his flames and lasers being rendered useless, The Chosen One attempts to freeze himself as self-defense. This causes Agent to make clones of victim to help him attack The Chosen One, and, despite succeeding in doing away with each of the clones, he fails to defeat the original due to Agent's interference and is thus left vulnerable to victim's lasso which he uses to immobilize the stick figure.
During this, The Second Coming is escorted to the test lab, to try to get the pencil to work. The workers send him into a small area guarded by an impassable forcefield, and he starts using the pencil to draw. Just like before, The Second Coming is able to make the drawings come to life, in the form of an electric eel. However, they still don't understand why. The workers then request for him to draw a bird, but when one of the employees tries to erase the eel, it fights back, causing the power to go down for a small moment. The eel is erased, and everything is back up and running again.
Succeeding in overpowering and immobilizing The Chosen One, victim starts interrogating him for information on his true target: Alan Becker. After a few failed attempts of getting The Chosen One to talk, victim commands some workers to bring in a memory scanner. He puts the memory scanner on The Chosen One and instantly sees all of his previous memories, even the current ones. In the meantime, The Second Coming is returning to his prison with some workers. While Agent is rewinding the memory scanner, they all witness the events of The Showdown, where The Second Coming awakens his powers and destroys The Dark Lord. victim surprised by this, locks The Second Coming in his cell at high security, making sure that doesn't happen again.
Rewinding further, they see the point where Yellow programs the giant cursor for noogai3. Seeing this, victim commands the workers to print out wanted posters for Yellow, but while he and the mercenaries are walking away, a security guard calls them over to show surveillance footage. It is revealed to them that the Fighting Stick Figures have already arrived at the facility, hoping to break in. The stick figures easily take out the guards who try to attack them, but the plan completely fails when Agent deals with them and captures Yellow, who is taken away while the others are left behind. With the four dealt with, victim returns to his office where he uses a lighter to burn the image of Alan's cursor, showing what he truly wants is revenge against his creator.
Origins[]
During the events of Victim, it was revealed that the company was founded on October 2nd, 2007 by victim and Mitsi, with the latter designing the logo inspired by victim’s rocket that he used to escape to the Outernet.
Starting as a small stand offering easy repairs and fixes very fast, the small stand reached huge success in no time with countless stick figures of all kinds approaching the duo, Agent being one of them. With it's huge success the business expanded in no time, with its co-founders reaching the front covers of the magazines everywhere, expanding and hiring more stick figures. Agent would be hired as a security guard, and the success of the company would allow victim to slowly overcome his trauma.
During the 4th anniversary party of the company, a horrible event would take place. Many of the assistants would suddenly turn into green particles and disappear, caused by the attack of The Chosen One and The Dark Lord to Newgrounds, Mitsi and Agent would be teleported back to Newgrounds. Mitsi would end up dying after being struck by one of The Chosen One's fireballs while Agent would manage to escape back to the Outernet and returned to Rocket Corp. After returning, victim would use the memory scanner on Agent to find out about Mitsi's death and the perpetrator.
After Mitsi's demise, victim stepped up as the CEO of Rocket Corp, but his tenure would see the company decline greatly; their share prices plummeted as major shareholders began to sell their shares, and employees began quitting, with one ex-employee stating "It's just not the same...", as victim was not as good of a CEO without Mitsi (most likely due to his grief over her passing). In the year 2018, a worker of Rocket Corp would reveal to victim that they not only found The Chosen One, but also Alan Becker who was working alongside him, causing victim to realize that the two people who ruined his life were both working hand-in-hand, only motivating his reasons for revenge even further as he sought to destroy both of them.
Despite the decline of Rocket Corp over the next seven years, most employees have remained loyal to victim after the incident, such as Agent and some gray stick figures who continued to follow his lead. They may continue to work to honor Mitsi's memory, or because they also wish to avenge her by capturing The Chosen One; specifically Agent, who knew Mitsi well and also harbors a vendetta against the black stick figure for her demise. Agent and the rest of the Mercs help victim by capturing The Chosen One and monitoring both him and victim while inside of The Box, saving him from The Chosen One's flames and putting him in a position for victim to interrogate him.

Trivia[]
- Before their official name was revealed to be Rocket Corp, the fans had already assumed many different titles such as “victim’s organization”, “Rocket Organization" and even jokingly as “Team Rocket” due to their willingness to perform morally questionable acts such as kidnapping to ensure their goal. Ironically, "Rocket Corp." was correctly assumed to be one of the names.
- Before the release of Victim - AvA 11, many fans assumed that the rocket logo was meant to signify victim's plan to return to Alan's computer by using a rocket ship to get into the grid through the sky. However, it's true symbolism is revealed to have the opposite meaning, as the rocket was victim's means of escaping from Alan's computer to freedom.
- Mitsi was the one who designed the Rocket Corp. logo after she was inspired from victim's rocket when they first met.
- It could be theorized that the "StickSlavery.com" website which appears in Animator vs. Animation 3 was made by them, as it talks about and condemns the abuse of stick figures by some animators, much like it happened to their founder and CEO, victim. Due to Rocket Corp. being technologically advanced because of victim's skills and tools, it could be possible.
