The Boiler is the Boss Cog that oversees the Boiler Room in Sellbot Field Offices and possesses special moves with status effects. They can only be attacked by Sound, Throw, and Squirt gags.

Health

The Boiler's health is represented by a four-layered health bar at the top of the screen during the boss battle. A green bar is layered on top of a yellow bar, an orange bar, and a red bar. Once one bar is fully depleted by gags, the next bar appears. It was also observed that the four health bars are not evenly divided into quarters of their health; the green bar accounts for 15% of their health, the yellow bar accounts for 20% of their health, the orange bar accounts for 35% of their health, and the red bar accounts for 30% of their health.

Based on damage calculations, The Boiler has 4000 health in a one-star Sellbot Field Office, 4500 health in a two-star Sellbot Field Office, 5000 health in a three-star Sellbot Field Office, and 5500 health in a four-star Sellbot Field Office.

Phases

During the first two rounds of the boss battle, The Boiler is neutral and accompanied by four Cogs during the second round before they undergo offensive and defensive phases periodically, both of which last 3 rounds in all tiers of Sellbot Field Offices. In a four-star Sellbot Field Office, the boss battle begins with The Boiler being Fired Up and Cogs being present during the first round. Meltdown is an exclusive phase to the four-star Sellbot Field Office.

Phases
Fired Up	The Boiler's attacks, as well as gags used against them, deal 50% additional damage. Cogs receive 20% of Damage Up, which increases by 10% each time Fired Up begins.
Defensive Strategy	The Boiler retaliates if they are damaged by gags and performs certain special moves that benefit the Cogs. Additional Cogs enter the battle until The Boiler reverts to being Fired Up.
Meltdown	The Boiler's "last leg" phase once their health reaches the red bar where they become permanently Fired Up and perform most of their attacks and special moves (excluding Stamp of Disapproval). Additional Cogs enter the battle until The Boiler is defeated.
