Doomsday
Doomsday was an invasion initiated by the Cogs, including the Director of Ambush Marketing, to invade Toontown Central during the Toon Council Presidential Elections on April 19, 2014. A level 3 Yesman unexpectedly arrived shortly after Slappy was announced as Toon Council president and proceeded to make him go sad, followed by the invasion occurring. Toons battled against the Cogs by using Flippy's Whole Cream Pies. With the help of Toons defending Toontown Central, Flippy ended the invasion by defeating the Director of Ambush Marketing. A week later on April 26, 2014, a memo from The Chairman was unveiled where he declared Doomsday a "successful sales pitch" and stated that Mover & Shakers would be awarded quality offices.
After Doomsday ended, it seemed as though the Cogs were defeated for good, but Toons had only managed to push them back to the streets and prevented them from entering the playgrounds. Along with the Toon Council Presidential Elections, Doomsday marked the conclusion of Toontown Rewritten's Alpha stage.
Streams
The original event was streamed live by Toontown Rewritten from their official YouTube channel on April 19, 2014, as well as many other members of the Toontown community.[1]
In celebration of Toontown Rewritten's fifth anniversary, an updated and remastered version of the Toon Council Presidential Elections (along with Doomsday) was streamed live through Twitch and YouTube, with commentary from the Toontown Rewritten Team, on September 29, 2018.[2]
Trivia
- By definition, Doomsday refers to an event of great danger.
- Doomsday marked the Cogs' first canonical appearance outside of being "Trolley-bots" in certain Trolley minigames.
- In Toontown Rewritten's storyline, Doomsday happened due to Scrooge McDuck visiting Gyro Gearloose's lab and activating a robot that became evil, which is depicted in Toontown Online's old installer video. Toon Headquarters later reported that Scrooge went missing since he was not seen attending the election.[3]
- According to Toon Headquarters, some Cogs escaped Toontown Central and ventured into other playgrounds, but shopkeepers such as Lil Oldman, Professor Flake, Coach Zucchini, and Shep Ahoy stopped them.[3]
