Phrases
Upon arrival:
- "Apparently our marketing strategies haven't exactly appealed to you 'Toons.'"
- "I suppose you could say that 'I'm the boss.'"
- "I'll be needing to speak with your President directly. I'm prepared to close this deal quickly."
While performing attacks:
- "ENOUGH!"
- "Relax, you'll find this is for the best."
- "At this rate, I'll need to liquidate Toons from the picture."
- "I assure you that you'll find no greater offer."
- "The Chairman won't be happy until you are."
When speaking to Flippy:
- "Ah, finally. Just the Toon I've been searching for."
- "I hope you won't pull out of the deal like your predecessor."
- "Don't worry, he is in safe keeping now."
Attacks
- Jump: The Director of Ambush Marketing's main attack. He would shout "ENOUGH!", jump in the air, and slam down, deducting 10 laff from Toons and making them fall to the ground. Unlike the Mover & Shakers' visible shock-wave attack, his attack would affect the entire ground.
- Brain Storm: Unlike Jump, this attack targeted one Toon but could deal splash damage. The Director of Ambush Marketing would send out a storm cloud that locked onto a single Toon; words would fall on the targeted Toon but damage could be dealt to other Toons who were under the cloud. Like Jump, it would deduct 10 laff from Toons who were hit. This version of Brain Storm was a bit different than how it plays out during typical turn-based Cog battles.
