Trivia
Real Name	Atticus Wing
Honorifics	Mr.

The Witness Stand-In, otherwise known as Atticus Wing, was the temporary Lawbot Department Boss after the Chief Justice resigned during his annual review with The Chairman.

He has gained some noticeable attention across Suit companies as the first Cog to be pronounced dead (unable to be manufactured after defeat), after being shot by Elvis from a cannon during The Last Stand at the end of Break the Law.

The WSI Battle

The battle ran exactly the same as the Chief Justice battle with normal tiers remaining from the original battle. The only major difference was that the Witness Stand-In's jump attack during the battle did no damage and did not knock down any Toons. Others include various text changes as Break the Law entered different phases.

The ARG WSI Battle

The Witness Stand-In, fed up, challenging the group of four Toons who were able to seat the entire Jury by themselves.

The Witness Stand-In was once available to be fought directly at the final days of Break The Law Phase 3. It was also the final part of the Pink Slip ARG that coincided with this phase. To activate the ARG battle, players would need to board the Courthouse elevator with 4 or less Toons, defeat the first Cog round, then fill all 12 seats with Toon jurors. After challenging the Toons, the battle would begin. It functioned like any Manager Boss, a Cog with a unique health pool and specialized cheats to put them in the Cogs' favor.

Attacks

Witness Stand-In Attacks
	Pecking Order (Single)	Guilt Trip (All)	Evil Eye (Single)	Restraining Order (Single)	Power Trip (All)
Damage	36	34	48	28	30
Accuracy	95	95	95	95	95

Cheats

The Witness Stand-In summons 3 Lawbot Cogs varying from levels 12-20, depending on the previous fight's tier. There was a 20% chance this would include Executive Cogs. This cheat will occur at the end of odd-numbered rounds, starting on round 1. This cheat can only trigger if no other Cogs are alive and his Cease & Desist cheat isn't eligible for use. Using this cheat will prevent the Witness Stand-In from attacking the turn he uses it.

Cease & Desist will activate if any of the Cogs summoned from Jury Notice are left alive. This cheat will activate at the end of odd-numbered rounds and be in effect only for the following round. Cogs must be defeated during even-numbered rounds to prevent this cheat, defeating them on an odd-numbered round will still allow the Witness Stand-In to activate it. Cease & Desist has a chance to fail on consecutive uses, causing him to attack that turn instead. Using this Cheat will prevent the Witness Stand-In from attacking the turn he uses it.

The Witness Stand-In prevents Toons from attacking the following round. Gags, SOS Cards, Doodles, and Unites will miss/be ineffective during this round and any debuffs (Lured, Soaked, Cogs Miss) will be cleansed from all Cogs. Exceptions to this include:

• Toon-Up Gags and SOS Cards
• Trap Gags and SOS Cards (Lure cannot activate them during this round)
• Using Cogs Miss the round Cease & Desist is in effect
• Unite restriction goes into/out of effect during the active battle round (i.e. during battle animations), not while picking Gags. Due to this, Toons will be unable to use unites during the active battle round when the Witness Stand-In activates this cheat and while picking Gags the following round. Once the next battle round is active (when Cease & Desist is in effect), Toons can use Unites again.
• Note: Doodles will still miss, though their animation will play as if it hit.

Rewards

After slowly whittling down the Witness Stand-In's HP to 0, he would mutter his revenge before flying away from the battle.

Once the battle is rid of the remaining Cog minions and is completely over, the Toons would get a multitude of rewards.

The following rewards are obtained no matter how many times that the Toons defeat the Witness Stand-in:

• A massive amount of Department Experience.
• The usual amount of Summons.
• A free Raffle Ticket,
• A free use of a Summons Booster.

However, for the first time the Witness Stand-in is defeated, Toons are also granted the following unique rewards:

• The seventh final Pink Slip Piece.
• A free Pink Slip if the other six pieces had been gathered up before hand.
• A Special Background and Nameplate.
• And a special Skelecog hat that looked identical to the Witness Stand-In's!

Dialogue

Standard Battle
Opening Cutscene (Version 1)	"Hmmm... What's on the docket today?" "Well, there is a Toon on trial..." "And the Chairman has appointed me in place of an actual judge." "I went to university for corporate law, not this..." "Wait a minute... You're Toons, aren't you?" "Attack!!"
Opening Cutscene (Version 2)	"Hmmm... What's on the docket today?" "Well, that bear is on trial, again..." "And the Chairman still hasn't appointed an actual judge to take John's place..." "I went to university for coporate law, not this..." "Let me guess... You're Toons, aren't you?" "Attack!!"
Opening Cutscene (Version 3)	"And another elevator opens to the courtroom..." "Hello, 'Cogs', we once again have that bear on trial." "Perhaps today is the day we can finally convict him of 'Breaking the Law'." "You must be familiar with dealing with cases like these." "I don't see how you couldn't be, after all... you ARE Toons." "Attack!!"
Round 1 Completion	"Of course..."
Jury Round Cutscene	"Jury selection will now commence."
Ending Cutscene (Version 1)	"Impossible! The defense won?" "No! I declare a mistrial! A new one will be scheduled." "I'll be in my office..." "What's that sound?"
Ending Cutscene (Version 2)	"As I suspected... The defense won..." "But, I declare a mistrial. A new one will be scheduled." "I wish I wasn't directed to follow the same, repetitive set of protocols as his substitute." "Ugh... This is the worst part."
Ending Cutscene (Version 3)	"I don't know why I thought this trial would be any different..." "I guess I should file a mistrial, maybe next time I'll finally convict that bear." "Just endure a little more, Atticus, their 'Resistance' doesn't know what they've gotten themselves into..." "As for YOU-"
ARG Battle
ARG Battle Cutscene	"I've had enough!" "I have worked tirelessly, day and night, to get this department in order." "I cannot stand idly by and watch my efforts crumble before me!" "I'm tired of your antics, Toons..." "You have made not only made a mockery of C.O.G.S. Incorporated, but my family as well." "It is in such circumstances that I stand resolute to my cause. I cannot apologize for what is to come." "En garde, Toons! Show me this 'power' you claim to have."
ARG Battle Ending	"If you believe this is the end for me, think again." "Ugh... I don't get paid enough for this..." "My requital will be gained one way or another. This isn't over."

Attacks
Restraining Order	"I won't allow you to further damage this company." "Take this back to your 'Resistance Rangers', you're not welcome here!" "You go against due process, Toon." "I won't allow any more harm to be done." "Keep back!"
Evil Eye	"You think I don't see what acts you do?" "I've seen your case files." "Time for a cross-examination." "I've seen your strategies." "We'll never see eye to eye."
Guilt Trip	"Have you ever considered how you make US feel?" "You've exhausted me, Toon... I haven't had time to rest with you 'Breaking the Law'" "I've lost every ounce of sympathy for you Toons." "You've caused nothing but anguish for me!" "There is much more beyond the surface!"
Pecking Order	"You don't realize your cause of action." "Hopefully this will make you feel guilty for what you've done." "I too have a few tricks up my sleeve." "This one is for what you did." "You could say I am a rare bird."
Power Trip	"I may just be a replacement, but I assure you, I'm no joke!" "A court order has been made." "Take that!" "I will not conduct any more mistrials." "Why else do you think I am in charge?"
Cheats
Jury Notice	"I summon the jury to me!" "All rise!" "Court is still in session." "The jury is to reach a verdict." "Don't get too ahead of yourself."
Cease and Desist	"I'm going to have to stop you right there, Toon." "Not so fast!" "If you fail to cooperate, I will take further action." "I have no choice but to take litigation." "This motion is approved."

Final Round Victory	"Finally, SOMETHING goes in my favor!"
