Toontown What's New Blog

Mentor Toons Make Cogs Buffoons!
Mentor Toons are Toons with Cog Suit disguises who are good enough to help their less-experienced friends with Rental Suits battle the Sellbot VP, as part of OPERATION: STORM SELLBOT!
Anyone can be a Mentor Toon (well, anyone who’s awesome!), and those that lead a certain number of successful runs get a special reward (see the Toon News for details). Are YOU a Mentor Toon, or have YOU been on a run led by one?

Master Von Bananamuffin says:

My friend is a mentor toon! He helps me and my bother. A lot of toons with the renatl suit battle the VP with him! Toons of the World Unite!


pearl says:

I AM a mentor toon and L-O-V-E it bc its so much fun to help lower laff toons!! Its awesome since all of us higher toons were low laff before and it took a lot to get where we are now. Its rly nice bc we get to help create toontown's future, by helping lower toons become higher like we are. We all know how it feels like and believe me, it was not easy being low laff!!!


Pickles says:

This is cool! I think i'll be a Mentor Toon and help some friends right now!


Scooter Trickyboom says:

I really like this idea of having the bigger toons that are use to the VP battles, helping the new toons and smaller toons in a smaller, weaker version of the normal VP battles. I'm having lots of fun being a "Mentor Toon" in the VP battles that I am partaking in with all of the toons in the rental suits, and in the normal smaller suits (like Cold Callers, Telemarketers, or Name Droppers). I do have one question though: Do you have to have a promotion to get the credit as a Mentor toon? Or does it only matter if you have the suit? -Scooter


ToonCouncil says:

Great question, Scooter Trickyboom! To be a Mentor Toon and get credit towards the reward, all you need is a Sellbot Suit that you earned by doing Factory Runs, and 5 Rental Suit Toons by your side! You'll still get credit if you don't have enough Merits for a promotion!


Zinny says:

I always help those little toons to make them to be better in VP and more experienced! Isn't that what fellow toons are supposed to do? Toons of the world unite!


Zowie says:

Cool! i LOVE helping the rental toons! Maybe i can be a mentor! :)


Baby epic fireball says:

:O thanks you have encouraged me to work harder and defeat the vp. i cant wait to see the reward!


Big Flip Wildtoon says:

Hey toontown! I've had fun being in the VP getting some SOS toons, including Daffy Don! I gotta tip for you toons! When the VP jumps, you jump! If you dont jump, you may lose some laff points! Hope this helps! ( plz respond I've never been responded or posted O_O ) See you on Toontown sometime! T.O.T.W.U!


Leafpelt says:

Cool! I've been led by many good people and gone through about 22 times, so I'd say this is a good idea!


Silly Buster Tricky Bee says:

Nice! I Want To Be A Mentor Toon! But How Can I?


ToonCouncil says:

Here's what you do, Silly Buster Tricky Bee... If you haven't already earned your Sellbot Suit Disguise, you'll need to defeat the Factory Foreman ten times. (It's not as easy as it sounds!) Once your Disguise is complete, you're ready to be a Mentor Toon! Just walk throuh the doors of Sellbot Towers, team up with as many Rental Suit Toons as you can, and go!


cuckoo crinklepow says:

ive lead alot of vps with lots of rental suit toons. it feels great to help smaller toons defeat the VP. TOONS OF THE WORLD UNITE!


Princess Slippy Beannoodle says:

I am not a mentor toon yet but I am very pleased to see all these toons helping out the "younger" toons. I know it makes me happy when older toons ask me to be in their boarding group so it must make other toons feel great too. :) WAY TO GO TOONTOWN!


ALIVIN says:

IF YOUR A GOOD TOON GO HELP LITTLE TOONS ITS FUN I DID IT WITH RENTAL SUITS


princess rosey says:

Master Fireball Thunderzapper says:

King Pancake says:

Hey everybody, Giving a shout out to all my Resistance Ranger Pals! Being a mentor toon is so awesome. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the rental suit toons when they succeed in their first VP victory ever! My pocket size buddies enjoy the same feeling! Leave No Toon Behind!! :D


Princess GiggleBubble says:

I just wanted to say thank you for all the mentor toons for helping me, and lots of other toons helf fight the V.P. just saying thanks :)


ToonCouncil says:

Isn't cooperation Toontastic, Princess GiggleBubble? (Cogs just hate it!)


Clover (the light blue cat) says:

I love being a Mentor Toon! Operation Storm Sellbot is epic. :D


Cliff Feathersnout says:

Im a menter toon and I already helped sooooooooooooo many other toons and I finally got promoted! I also met 2 resistance Rangers! TOONTOWN ROCKS!!!!! TOONS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!!!!!


knuckles fidllesnoop says:

I have been lead into the vp battle buy alot of toons that are mentors. I always get a toon up bye a mentor. It is fun that you get to do the vp battle with somone that knows it and i am going into the factory to get to be a mentor!


Electra says:

Its a ton of fun watching the excitement from some of the smaller toons when they get that win! VIVA LA RESISTANCE! =)


Lucky says:

Im a metor toon because I help my friends deafeat the V.P


Hare dew says:

HI! i have been a menor toon and done over 40 vps with rentals! i was wondering, do we get credit toward the prize if the rentals suit toons have a level other that 1 over there head? please reply :)


ToonCouncil says:

Don't worry, Hare Dew... It doesn't matter what level they are, all that matters is that they're wearing Rental Suits!


Princess Popcorn says:

I've mentored as much as I can... I fought a VP run yesterday in which I used 2 level seven gags to get my teammates through. It was a tough run, but all but one of us made it. Was it worth the loss of my level sevens? Absolutely! Just seeing the joy of my less-experienced teammates after the VP rolled off the ledge was enough for me! If you haven't mentored, give it a try! You'll be amazed at the joy you spread!


mac dizzynerd says:

Go toon mentors!


Black Magic says:

I would love to be a mentor toon and help out those young toons, who would like to beat the Vp. I have a few toon freinds who would love to help. Dont worry i will guilde you through everthing and explain the basic rules. Example, when the vp jumps, Toons must jump too, to make sure they dont lose laff.


Master Fireball says:

Do you have to defeat the VP ten time's in a single day, or does the credit add up each day?


Fleabag says:

I invite toons with rental suits and some with regular suits I help toons with rental suits everyday!


Mega Man says:

Helping new toons is so fun. My friend goes on one side and I go on the other side


good ol' comet rockennerd says:

ive been a mentor toon many a time!one of them were so glad they asked me to become my friend. shout out to toby toon!


awesomeguy says:

I've been led by a mentor toon, and his name was dash. There were actually two mentors in the group, the other was named popcorn, and they were both black cats. Thanks, guys!


ToonCouncil says:

Nice shout outs, awesomeguy and good ol' comet rockennerd! (Was that a double shout out? WOW!)


Kyle says:

I'm a Mentor Toon.


scarz says:

How many times do u need to run a successful vp with five rental suit toons?


Loud Thunderzap says:

I've done a few runs with mostly rental suits, it was great fun!


Funny Bunny says:

I have been a mentor more than ten times! Like when i was helping My friends Capain Flapjack and pancake bananaswirl.


Oric says:

If you ask me it will be a shame when the cogs fix up the power lines. Until them as lord lowden clear would say KEEP THEM BUSTLING WITH LAUGHTER!!! GO TOONTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Queen Lollipop Lemonpop says:

I'm a Mentor toon and im gonna do as many runs as a i can! I hope this will be a lesson for toons that low toons can be in groups too! Thanks for the info flippy! Bye and toons of the world unite!


Roxy says:

It's pretty awesome when your boarding group has 2 Mr. Hollywood's, 1 telemarketer, and 1 level 3 cold caller! We would have won but I lost my internet connection! Tip:When you get to the pie part once you get the VP down the ramp throw pies at him from the upper level! He can't hit you with gears and it's easier to hit him!


Maxx (109 laff) says:

I'm a mentor toon! I help tons of new rental toons fight the vp! They are all happy to vp with me because I'm a Mr. Hollywood cog. Oh by the way can you, Flippy tell me where the rangers are? I look for them everywhere but can't find them. ~Maxx~


ToonCouncil says:

Well Maxx, the Resistance Rangers can be anywhere at any time - they're sneaky like that! But during Operation: Storm Sellbot, they'll be in Sellbot HQ, moving from district to district, encouraging Toons as they go. So keep your eyes peeled, and you'll catch one!


Violet says:

I have helped some new Toons through the V.P. It felt so great to help them through! I think this is a lovely opportunity for the everyone to experience the VP!


Master Fireball Gigglebrains says:

I'm a mentor! I take with me 6 rental toons, and one other mentor, then we face the VP! I keep an eye on my team, and using my past experience from other bosses, and a few Toon Resistance Phrases, I lead my team to victory! Toons of the World, STORM SELLBOT HQ!


luig says:

i will be a mentor too because i have good gags and enough laugh points to destroy cogs and to defeat the VP and be a mentor


Lightning says:

Cool! i've been lead by a mentor toon quite a few times!


Vicky says:

I love helping lower toons in battle or in sellbot HQ, mostly with the operation storm. I hope it never ends! Sincerely, Vicky


pizza boy says:

i have been a mentor toon before :D


ToonCouncil says:

Did you bring pizza, pizza boy? That would be the best VP run ever!


loudfireballfeathercrunch says:

man it makes it so much easyer to get a SOS card


Squeakers says:

ive been with a mentor toon im only 43 laugh and im really trying to get more gags and get better in the game so i usually need someone who can give me a laugh boost and someone who has fairly high gags so we can get the jobe done and easy


Toontastic cat says:

Well I'm not a Mentor toon but Twenty times been helped by one It feels good to be helped by someone thats more experienced thanks Mentor toons! Keep up the good work with helping!


Toppenoroni says:

I love to battle VP i battled him like 10 times or more i didn't count how many times i defeated him! and i'am great at throwing pies at VP i stun him with a pie from a far distance so he cant see me, and others knock him back it's so easy!


Princess Melody Petalzapper says:

Really!? When my friend was talking about mentoring, I thought she was just talking about some senseless roleplay or something, but I see now what it really is! Maybe I should be a mentor toon...;P


Dog Awesome says:

I love being a mentor toon! Its much fun to see the new toons beat the vp, Im happy for them when they win. I remember my first vp. Now Im a telemarketer lvl 6!


Princess Cuddles says:

Im gonna be a mentor toon someday (when i get my cog disguise that is) but does that mean im not awesome?? i am pretty strong.... i think..... what do u think flippy? p.s. i have done the v.p six times and a phew tips for begginers when he opens up that little door, throw some pies in, he will get knocked out. hit the cogs face and chest when he is knocked out to know him backwards. and last, the v.p and his cogs are EASY. (just make sure u have the right toons with u. toons u can trust maybe, like ur friends) THATS ALL!! THNX!!! and good luck fighting the v.p to begginers and the advanced!!!


ToonCouncil says:

You're absolutely awesome, Princess Cuddles! Mentor Toons wouldn't be what they are without Rental Suit Toons, and that makes Rental Suit Toons awesome too!


Lily Twinklebubble says:

Mentors are great, one helped me when I was just a cold caller. They're very helpful to little toons. They feel much more confident when they have a big toon by their side. TOONS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!!!!


Sonic says:

This is Sonic! I'm a pretty good mentor toon. I'm a Level 12 Hollywood! Any rental toon or toon is welcome in my group anytime!


Dippy Rainbow Fuzzycrash says:

I love being a mentor toon! Its awesome seeing the way new toons react when they win their first vp. I love it!


Lily says:

Cool! I'm kinda a mentor toon. I don't have a suit, but I'm working on it! Also flippy, do YOU help toons in Toontown or do you just make plans? Well, I have had a mentor toon in my group! Mentor toons are SO nice! Toons of the world unite! - Lily P.S Please post I have never been posted or replyed! TOONS RULE COGS DRULE!


Lily Purpleberry says:

Cool! But, how can I get a mentor toon to help me? I have 17 laff points.


ToonCouncil says:

Well Lily Purpleberry, try going to Sellbot HQ and using SpeedChat to let the Toons around you know that you're looking for a Mentor Toon to help you through the VP. It might take a few tries, but you'll find one before long!


Trixie hulapop says:

i can't believe that the toons that dont't have suits finally get to fight the vp it is toontastic!


Sheriff Wondergadget says:

I'd like to call myself a Mentor Toon, but I haven't just been helping those with rental suits, I help everyone including those that have just received their cog disguise. I've found I really enjoy this and hope that the toons that I'm helping are enjoying it as well.


Rocco Whiskerfish says:

It's good to have mentor toons show us less experienced toons the ropes. That way when we have our day with the VP, we can be able to mentor other toons as well! What goes around comes around!


Bubbles says:

Well i guess you could call me a mentor toon because im a high toon and have a high level cog suit but i wouldnt call myself really a mentor i just love to help lower toons! (:hahaa ok well i have done vp with this sellbot storm operation thing about 40 times and once just with one other toon and it has gotten so easy and the little toons dont worry if you see the name bubbles a mover and shaker level 8 named bubbles a cream colored duck ask me to be in your group and i will gladly help you!


Pinky Poodleberry says:

I always help new toons to the vp even before Operation Sellbot!


Prince Goopy says:

I've been trying to make groups with another high toon and the rest rental suit toons so there is one high toon on each side to help the lower toons. It almost always works out that way.


Tom (mentor toon) says:

I love to guide toons to vicotry in the VP!! It makes your heart feel good to help the toons who arent able to do the VP with an actual suit. Since this whole thing started, Higher toons seem more nicer to the lower toons, even when they dont have a rental suit! When this thing wasnt started, i noticed that most higher toons (not me of course) ignore requests of cold callers of low levels, thats not right!! Yes the cold callers could have low Laff or they dont have great gags but sometimes they can help in different ways. To all you higher toons out there, dont judge a toon by his suit! I wish everyone who reads this good luck in they're future toontown lives! TOONTOWN RULES!!


ToonCouncil says:

Thanks Tom - that's what being a Mentor Toon is all about!


Hurricane Rabbit says:

One Word. KEWL!


Lady sophie says:

Im awesome :) That qualifies..... im 116 laff points and maxed anyways, so i guess im REALLY awesome :D


Fiddle Sticks says:

I've tried HARD to be a Mentor Toon. I think the best part of Storm Sellbot is to help ALL the toons get a crack at the king clinker of sellbots! (A.K.A, the V.P.)


jane says:

i have ben mentored by two toon friends and now because of there help i helped other toons (im in a rental siut)


Philip says:

I LOVE OPERATION:STORM SELLBOT! Toons of the world unite!


ToonCouncil says:

You said it Philip!


Master Jake JumbleNugget says:

I've Helped A Few Toons With Rental Suits And I Almost Got The Special Reward To But I'm Going To Keep TryIng


Chard says:

OOO ) soooo cool, most of my friends r mentors and i wanna be one also.... guess i better get my rental friends together XD


Sadie Snorkelfish says:

I love doing VP runs,epecially now that all my friends can go in with me! Thanks for chewing those wires doodles! ???


Prof. Cliff Macdoodle says:

I would consider myself Mentor toon because I had unlimited access and defeated the factory to the point where I have the cog suit built and ready for the VP I have made attempts to destroy the Sellbot VP but all of them I have never won a single battle with the VP I have got real close to defeating him but never ever won.


Cool flapjack says:

I think its a great idea to make other toons like none members and smaller toons able to vp!! i have done the vp 34 times cents the storm sellbot started its so fun and im glad im able to be a mentor! and until then Toons of the world unit!!!!!!


silly batty banana brains says:

Miss Candy CrunchySwirl says:

Melody says:

Princess Lily PurpleToon says:

Whoo! This is totally awesome!! I gotta go become a Mentor Toon! Love surprises!


Love Pink says:

I am a Hollwood and i only have 31 laff points. I love getting the chance to give these weaker rental toon a chance to survive the VP, they remind me of not-so-long ago before i finally make it to Holloywood levels. ((please post I've never been posted)) ~<3Pinkie~<3


Princess Lily says:

From the moment they mentioned mentor toon, I've been helping as many rentals as possible! I really hope I get the prize :D Can you give us a hint of what the prize is? Please!


ToonCouncil says:

Here's a hint, Princess Lily... You'll go bananas when you see it!

ToonCouncil says:

You're a generous Toon Blinky! (Or Fatty? Or Rosie?)
