In "A Sitch In Time", a version of Rufus from the future named Rufus 3000 visits Kim, asking her help in saving the future from Shego. Able to talk with clear human speech (Voice by Michael Dorn), he refers to himself as Rufus 3000 because he is the 3000th version made of the original "Rufus Prime". He displays Rufus' fondness for cookies, and asks Rufus what the meaning of life is, to which the mole rat replies, "Cheese!" Rufus 3000 is the leader of a team of genetically altered naked-mole rats, who, like himself, are very muscular in appearance. He and the original Rufus lead them against Shego and her allies in the climax of the film. Rufus 3000 appears in all three parts of "A Sitch In Time" ("Present", "Past" and "Future") as an information provider to Kim and occasional aid in the first two, but only assumes a main role in the final part.
