The Cogs are the primary antagonists of the 2003 MMORPG Disney's Toontown Online. They are an organization of robots who want to turn Toontown into a corporate wasteland. They use attacks based on business terms to make the toons go sad and take over toon buildings to turn them into cog buildings.
History
Scrooge McDuck activating the giant robot during the opening trailer form the TTO launcher.
Before the events of the game, Gyro Gearloose created a giant robot that was not finished at the time. Scrooge McDuck visited Gyro only to find he was not there, but stumbled across the giant robot. Believing that the giant robot could help Toons and give him lots of money, Scrooge activated the robot, only for the incomplete robot to malfunction and go haywire. The robot then proceeded to create the Cogs, which were ordered to attack Toontown. The giant robot then attacked Scrooge and captured him. It was up to the toons of Toontown to save the day. During the Toon elections between Flippy and Slappy, the cogs invaded and captured Slappy. After a long battle between the Cogs and Toons, the toons emerged victorious after defeating the Director of Ambush Marketing and the invading cogs. The cogs cannot enter the playgrounds, but they roam the streets fighting Toons with the goal of taking over Toontown, but to no sign of success. Toons use gags to fight the Cogs. The Cogs cannot take a joke and good gags can put an end to them. There are 7 kinds of gags, consisting of Toon-Up, Trap, Lure, Sound, Throw, Squirt, and Drop. These can be utilized for a variety of strategies.
Meanwhile, the Cogs can also use all sorts of moves and skills, which are often called business moves. Examples include Paradigm Shift, Power Trip, and Tee Off. When a Cog hits a Toon they will lose Laff, which functions as health in the game. When Laff goes to zero, the Toon turns sad and teleports back to the playground.
