Chief Operating Officer
The Chief Operating Officer (or C.O.O. for short) is the Boardbot Boss. While Boardbot Headquarters has not been released and cannot be accessed, Toons are able to "fight" the C.O.O. during April Toons events via visiting Boredbot Headquarters. The C.O.O. first appeared in the 4th Corporate Clash Comic: The Day of Reckoning and made his first appearance in game during the April Toons 2020 event.
Attacks
The C.O.O. currently does not have any present attacks. All he will do is have a mindful discussion with whatever Toon is present for roughly 20 minutes.
C.O.O. "Fight"
Rewards
Every year, Toons will obtain an exclusive reward for surviving the entirety of the Chief Operating Officer's "fight." The previous years' rewards can be obtained from Lynn Decisive at her shop for a jellybean fee. This fee is equal to the year the reward was added (e.g. the Ottoman sticker costs 2,024 jellybeans).

Music
Radio tracks play throughout the encounter with the C.O.O. Most of these tracks are from areas currently in the game, but some tease tracks used in upcoming content.
Notes:
- Some radio tracks are made up of Cog voice clips, and as such they have been omitted from this list.
- Some radio tracks may have unique names listed in the metadata, written like file names. These names may be red herrings as there has been no official confirmation on what these tracks will be used for.

Radios
- The Chief Justice Jury Round theme from 2020 was the only time in which a song from Toontown Online is played on the radio; all of the others are from Corporate Clash.
- Right when the C.O.O. talks about Atticus Wing during the 2021 fight, the Resistance Outpost theme from Break The Law starts to play.
- The Directors' cutscene theme (before and after v1.3.0) is almost always used as the first song on the radio when meeting with the C.O.O. This tradition was stopped after 2022.
- Almost all of the radio themes played throughout the years used to have a built-in fading out transition. While this was stopped for newer songs shown in 2024, some of the themes re-used from 2023 still have this fading out.
