You Noob I can give the origins of some: Pundit: Someone who comments on politics. Usually part of the MSM (Mainstream Media) and very left leaning. Lobbyist: Someone who represents a corporate entity and effectively bribes politicians into supporting policies beneficial to entity. Gerrymanderer: Gerrymandering is the process of drawing district lines to help your party win more seats, a Gerrymanderer is someone who draws said districts. Look at NCs 12th district and Maryland's 3rd district for examples of a gerrymandered district. Dark Horse: A unknown candidate who comes out of nowhere. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would be examples. Think Tank: A large organization who pushes a specific agenda. Some examples include the Heritage Foundation (right wing) and the Center for American Progress (a left wing Soros funded one) Candidate: Some one running for office. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are examples.
i think the Gerrymanderer and Doggerbird should be slightly different colored as most cogs have dull or generally muted colors, but i absolutely love this!! it's so creative and i loved the attacks and taunts. good job!!! i'd love for this to become a thing
Your rendition of the concept is amazing SF, but all you need is just a little polishing in a few areas and it will be the thing every server would dream of having. Keep up the good work.
I love this idea. This is great since the 2016 election just passed and we witnessed all these things. I fucking love the concept, i hope a big server could adopt this.
Now this is a proper cog showcase, it shows all the attacks, the names, the tiers, the new attacks missing, intro quotes, the only thing you missed out saying is what it was based off
I love the new cogs! They're an interesting bunch, and I'm very impressed with the new moves, clever phrases, and looks! However, I do have some complaints, mostly about the appearances of a few. The Gerrymanderer is an interesting cog, and I do like its very "out there" design, but it looks too "toony" if you know what I mean. A bright pink cog with a straw-like mouth doesn't feel very intimidating, but I do like its head shape. I personally like the Lobbyist. It's a nice Tier 2 cog, however, it seems a little too big for a cog on that tier, and I recommend making it a bit smaller. I'd like to hear more about the Politibot HQ location, how to get my Politibot suit, and I'd like to know what the Politibot boss looks like. That's about it! As I said, I LOVE these new cogs. Hope to see other toons fighting these guys alongside my toon, Reba Babbit.
I have an idea on how the boss could work! Maybe , it could be an election between to make toons sad ( the cogs ) or make them stay happy ( the captive toon ) just like the C.J! And when it ends ( the battle goes on for 30 mins ) the boss will decide. If the toons win , you win , the toon is free , and the boss gets demoted to a level 1 pundit. ( Like the C.E.O. ) But if the cogs win , all toons go sad. ( Like the C.J )
These are awesome concepts. Awesome job Manectric and, of course, Swag Foreman. I think the Back Breaker has got to be my favourite as his signature move and phrases are great.
The candidate definitely needs some visual fixes, and some of the heads need to be squared out to give that cog feel. But overall, this is pretty amazing.
I love the moves! you did so much work into adding originality and it really shines! Though I love the politibots idea I do think some different cog designs would've been better, and some more solid texturing, but honestly that's not even the big deal compared to each animation and move you designed, the back break and the brainwash man holy shit.
I'm planning in a Cog Type... ScrapBot. so what are scrapbots? they are Cogs made out of the Other's remains. per example: TIER 1: Trashy - flunky & downsizer remains like a DS arm for a F leg Attacks: Pick Pocket! Downsize! Other examples: TIER 5: Scrapper - the remains of THE BIG CHEESE 2.0 & MR. Hollywood TIER 6: BrainScrapper - the remains of Robber Baron & THE BIG CHEESE The Icon of the Scrap Bots would be a Pile of Cogs and a banner on top. The Leader of The ScrapBots would be something... Weird... i'll probably draw the heads of all tiers 1-8 Also the name of the Leader would be Primer Minister or wait nvm you can think of the design yourself this was just the designs/names ideas.
My idea of new cogs would be Neobots, The Cog Nation's most advanced cogs Toontown has ever seen, think of em as terminators that become more advanced in every film. Our level 7 gags wouldn't be enough for these guys as they have more speed, strength, health, and durability, which is where level 8 gags come in. Toon-Up: Angelic Cure, Trap: Nuclear Bomb, Lure: Telekinesis, Sound: Sonic Boom, Throw: Family Cake, Squirt: Tsunami, Drop: Asteroid.
IDEA FOR THE POLIBOT BOSS: The Boss would be the “Speaker of the House.” I feel like if the Boss is the “President,” it would feel cliché. I am assuming that we are basing the politics around America, due to the fact that I believe (don’t attack me in the comments pls!) that out of all 1st world countries, America has one of the most cut throat political hierarchies. Yes, I am a natural born citizen of the United States. America is the #1 Power in the World, so it would only make sense. The Speaker of the House could be speaking to a mixture of higher level Polibot cogs. The House is attempting to vote on a bill to place a factory where the Toon Estates are (literally gentrification.) The Toons wear their disguises to attempt to Vote NO to the Bill. When the Speaker of the House notices the Toons are in disguises, they rip them off. Because the Polibots believe in a “fair democracy” they allow the Toons to debate. This debate could be some form of a mini game where one random toon from the boarding group would be able to debate, possibly where you would have a choice of lines to click, and whatever you pick after 5 times determines how difficult the final battle will be. If you don’t pick the correct sentences during the debate, defeating the Speaker of the House may result in him doing higher damage, or maybe another round of all Dark Horses or Candidates. Ideas for defeating just the Speaker could be: Throwing Sleeping Gas (because, ya know, House Reps are always caught sleeping), and while stunned, you are able to do low amounts of damage with a certain gag. I thought this gag could be a special form of sound. It would do low damage, like the CEO because I am assuming Polibots would be a more difficult boss. The sound gags could be given by an in disguise Clerk who make shifted the Aoogah to sound off Filibusters. Just a few thoughts!! I could honestly go on for a while. Tell me what you guys think (if anyone read this far lol.) Great video! You can tell that I love this idea.
Politicians aim to look good and wow these look good :D Except the Gerrymanderer. I feel like if there was a cog type called Illumibot {the conspiracies}, that face would be a part of it. Dark Horse belongs in the Planbots (strategists). Love how a bit of health is taken away each stomp btw.
Adam Smith I don't think so because Donald Trump is a political outsider so none of these really fit him. It'd need to be some high tier political figure.
I think the Cogs should be moved around a little and add Fat Cat. It'd go Pundit, Lobbyist, Bird Dogger, Back Bencher, Dark Horse, Think Tank, Candidate, and then Fat Cat.
The idea is cool but the suit seems a little bland. I think you should add a hankerchief to the suit and make the stripes a little more grey to seem like the suit doesn't stick out with the others. And the candidate's head should be a little more round instead of just taking the grinning face head model. Just some thoughts :P.
I'm asuming your playing toontown offline when you make videos like these so i have a question. how do you add the custom cogs? is it the same as importing one to panda 3d?
I don't think they necessarily have to be business related. I think it just has to be something to do with adult-typical, colorless occupations. Law isn't necessarily major facets of business either, outside of regulation and defense. Lawbots and politibots would have a very similar niche in cog-nation.
I am the one who came up with the ideas for these guys. Thank you to Swag Foreman for designing them!
Manectric Your designs and ideas are so cool! Nice man!
Well those designs seem awesome.
Have you thought about a Politicalbots Boss design? (Boss I mean like the VP, CFO, CJ and CEO)
Did you think of making any of these group attacks? (I think Gerrymander and some others would work well)
Manectric these designs are awesome, and look good for greening toontown.
You Noob I can give the origins of some:
Pundit: Someone who comments on politics. Usually part of the MSM (Mainstream Media) and very left leaning.
Lobbyist: Someone who represents a corporate entity and effectively bribes politicians into supporting policies beneficial to entity.
Gerrymanderer: Gerrymandering is the process of drawing district lines to help your party win more seats, a Gerrymanderer is someone who draws said districts. Look at NCs 12th district and Maryland's 3rd district for examples of a gerrymandered district.
Dark Horse: A unknown candidate who comes out of nowhere. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would be examples.
Think Tank: A large organization who pushes a specific agenda. Some examples include the Heritage Foundation (right wing) and the Center for American Progress (a left wing Soros funded one)
Candidate: Some one running for office. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are examples.
8:53 omg it fits perfectly with the music
It does!
Jesus back breaker is brutal.
i think the Gerrymanderer and Doggerbird should be slightly different colored as most cogs have dull or generally muted colors, but i absolutely love this!! it's so creative and i loved the attacks and taunts. good job!!! i'd love for this to become a thing
Yeah I agree :) this should really be a thing In toontown
yeah
Well, their colors make them unique from the other cogs. Personally, I like the colors.
Your rendition of the concept is amazing SF, but all you need is just a little polishing in a few areas and it will be the thing every server would dream of having.
Keep up the good work.
I love this idea. This is great since the 2016 election just passed and we witnessed all these things. I fucking love the concept, i hope a big server could adopt this.
Rewritten wouldn't. Though possibly Altis! Because Project Altis has adopted boardbots!
No swearing it's inappropriate
Slime boy stop being child ha
This is so cool!! I feel like it would be perfect if some of them were just adjusted to the Toontown style a liiiiiittle bit more!
The boss should be called Fat Cat
Where did you get that profile pic?
Disney may sew for that
Johnathan Powers yea
I would make it the Nominee, or the Senator. Something like that.
I feel like Gerrymanderer should have shake, add variety to the attack set as well as gerrymandering being a shake of sorts.
I always thought Lawbots were like the political cog of Toontown.
The Toony Toon Show law and politics coincide but they're nothing alike
Fucked Up Yea they are the entire 9th circuit court is left wing politics!
TTSTelevision Politics are more legislative while Law is more judicial.
THINK AGAIN 😂
Politibots are most deadly version of Boss bots, where no toons can beat.
Also it has skills to cancel their powers and social confusion.
Now this is a proper cog showcase, it shows all the attacks, the names, the tiers, the new attacks missing, intro quotes, the only thing you missed out saying is what it was based off
I love the new cogs! They're an interesting bunch, and I'm very impressed with the new moves, clever phrases, and looks! However, I do have some complaints, mostly about the appearances of a few.

That's about it! As I said, I LOVE these new cogs. Hope to see other toons fighting these guys alongside my toon, Reba Babbit.
I Love The Back Breacker Animation
EDIT: And Gerrymaker
EDIT 2: I Love All The Animations
And why isn't the Lobbyist skinny?
I have an idea on how the boss could work! Maybe , it could be an election between to make toons sad ( the cogs ) or make them stay happy ( the captive toon ) just like the C.J! And when it ends ( the battle goes on for 30 mins ) the boss will decide. If the toons win , you win , the toon is free , and the boss gets demoted to a level 1 pundit.

These are awesome concepts. Awesome job Manectric and, of course, Swag Foreman. I think the Back Breaker has got to be my favourite as his signature move and phrases are great.
The Gerrymander....SALAMANDER....Good name
This needs to be part of Toontown Rewritten!
The candidate definitely needs some visual fixes, and some of the heads need to be squared out to give that cog feel. But overall, this is pretty amazing.
I love the moves! you did so much work into adding originality and it really shines! Though I love the politibots idea I do think some different cog designs would've been better, and some more solid texturing, but honestly that's not even the big deal compared to each animation and move you designed, the back break and the brainwash man holy shit.
Awww I love this!! I love Toontown concept art for new cogs!! Just wonderful!!!(:
Wow
That really is a good idea:)
I WANT THIS
These are textured much better than the Boardbots, I hope they replace boardbots with these in Project Altis
The think tank have two attacks to cause 24
i wouldve thought back breaker does alot more
dr xtn *a lot
Elias Games
do you have to fix EVERY mistake people make?
NotARobot true
I saw this on DA the other day; good work on programming these guys in!
you should check out the Stockbots next and then design their appearance.
Stockbots?
Boardbots have got that covered
I would say you’re a hacker for having all the gags... but then again, that is Toontown *Offline...*
I'm planning in a Cog Type...
ScrapBot.
so what are scrapbots?
they are Cogs made out of the Other's remains.
per example:
TIER 1: Trashy - flunky & downsizer remains like a DS arm for a F leg
Attacks: Pick Pocket! Downsize!
Other examples:
TIER 5: Scrapper - the remains of THE BIG CHEESE 2.0 & MR. Hollywood
TIER 6: BrainScrapper - the remains of Robber Baron & THE BIG CHEESE
The Icon of the Scrap Bots would be a Pile of Cogs and a banner on top.
The Leader of The ScrapBots would be something... Weird... i'll probably draw the heads of all tiers 1-8
Also the name of the Leader would be Primer Minister
or wait nvm you can think of the design yourself this was just the designs/names ideas.
maybe the leader will be unique, where it has the ability to heal his cogs known as "fix up"
those are really cool cog models!
Dark horse attack is brutal
I love this! Great idea!
My idea of new cogs would be Neobots, The Cog Nation's most advanced cogs Toontown has ever seen, think of em as terminators that become more advanced in every film. Our level 7 gags wouldn't be enough for these guys as they have more speed, strength, health, and durability, which is where level 8 gags come in. Toon-Up: Angelic Cure, Trap: Nuclear Bomb, Lure: Telekinesis, Sound: Sonic Boom, Throw: Family Cake, Squirt: Tsunami, Drop: Asteroid.
This would work perfectly.
honestly public relations is a great idea for a cog type if they had a better name this could totally work
What if Brainwash misses? You showed all the signature attacks missing except for brainwash.
I don't remember exactly, but the Toon probably did something simple like a duck or sidestep.
Pundits look like the nostalgia critic
IDEA FOR THE POLIBOT BOSS: The Boss would be the “Speaker of the House.” I feel like if the Boss is the “President,” it would feel cliché.

Dark Horse belongs in the Planbots (strategists). Love how a bit of health is taken away each stomp btw.
Remember Cogamelldansen? You should make a version of it with these "Politibots".
best cogs ever
Dark Horse and Gerrymanderer were my favorites
Are there magic words for these?
The intro kinda sounds like mercenary park
I swear the back bench phrases are basically the same as the back stabbers
So their leader would be Donald Trump?
Adam Smith I don't think so because Donald Trump is a political outsider so none of these really fit him. It'd need to be some high tier political figure.
+The Lawnmower Hunter | CHINA should be a oneshot attack.
The Lawnmower Hunter I agree with that signed politbots
Adam Smith The Cogs dont deserve this kind of comparison
Adam Smith The Cogs dont deserve this kind of comparison
9:37
_B A D H O R S E I T H A T Y O U ?_
I think the Cogs should be moved around a little and add Fat Cat. It'd go Pundit, Lobbyist, Bird Dogger, Back Bencher, Dark Horse, Think Tank, Candidate, and then Fat Cat.
the last cog looks a little like a worker version of mr. hollywood
Dark Horse is my favorite, but Candidate would have to be the best one out of the group. Nice music to go along with them too.
dank horse
( ◥▶ ͜ʖ ◀◤
Please for boss cog make it be something like Uncle Sam. Wearing like an American hat, he would say, "I want you!...Toons outta here right now!"
I like the bird one
Yo Mr. Foreman, what about the Techbots that appeared at the end of the prologue in "Operation: Dessert Storm"?
The boss would probably be president
I’ve always felt their leader would be the Party Leader (PL), considering the Politibots seem to be one big political party.
The idea is cool but the suit seems a little bland. I think you should add a hankerchief to the suit and make the stripes a little more grey to seem like the suit doesn't stick out with the others. And the candidate's head should be a little more round instead of just taking the grinning face head model. Just some thoughts :P.
seriously, you need to become a developer
Dark Horse looks like a Salandit
He reminds me of Bojack Horseman.
I thought Bird Dogger was going to be Lame Duck
Here's an idea: make the politibot boss whatever he current president it and change it after elections
The Mine Song but it's sung by the Tightwad from Toontown.
14:04 sounds like the normal elevator on roblox, also bc of the elevator Sound is the same
I love these cogs!
Hey foreman, I was wondering if you could tell me what you use to record? That'd be awesome :D
I use bandicam.
Swag Foreman Legit? Thank you! :)
I'm asuming your playing toontown offline when you make videos like these so i have a question. how do you add the custom cogs? is it the same as importing one to panda 3d?
So, if we have the cogs & their attacks, what would their weaknesses be?
I think, that Lobbyist looks jokey,
I’m not a political major but I wondering about the names of cogs are actual terms or slang of politic
I like the designs, but just because it gives people depression every 2 - 4 years doesn't relate it to business :P
Well, at least the Lobbyist does.
I don't think they necessarily have to be business related. I think it just has to be something to do with adult-typical, colorless occupations. Law isn't necessarily major facets of business either, outside of regulation and defense.
Lawbots and politibots would have a very similar niche in cog-nation.
Dark Horse looks more like a Dark Rhino.
How do u add all of this into Toontown?
These should be ported into ODS, but only with permission of the owners.
PIEisFANTASTIC2 or Altis.
Have you guys considered maybe after Techbots are 100% implemented adding these guys?
11:59 i will never ever stop laughing at that
How many damage for Gerrymander for Level 9?
the leader could be called the President
Can you add my Grandma as a cog-
Who rules pollibot HQ? (Like the CJ rules lawbot HQ)
Can someone explain what all their names mean
Nice cogs my favorite one is darkhorse
If you think that was hot wait 'til you see what I have in store
link: www.reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/6qj046/new_toontown_server_design/
It's a horse? Thought it was a crow xD
How do you make a new cog department in a toontown source code 🤔
How did you make their own signature moves?
how do you spawn the politibots Toontown offline is it offline
I would like ActBots Pl0x
Is the lobbyist Ajit Pai
Honestly this should be real
I LOVE BACKBREAKER XD
What did you use to make the models?
Autodesk Maya 2016 [Student Version]
Are these cogs in any server yet?
Tt rewritten should look at this
How was this made?
Are you going to do a 3,000 sub special? or are you gonna wait til 5,000?
How did u do this? U have very gag track I am very curious because I want to try myself
I say we send these to Fellowship so they have a fanbase again. (sarcastic btw)
make a politibot boss battle
HISSSSSS
also, can you do the long lost Cinemabots next please? Here's the link: toontownmakebelieve.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-cogs.html
tweet it to Swag foreman, he will more likely see it if you tweet it at him :)
I don't have a Twitter. :/
Why isn't Lobbyist thin
