Franz Neckvein

**Franz Neckvein** is a mouse NPC Toon. He lives and works in The Punch Line Gym on Punchline Place in Toontown Central. He is part of the ToonTask where the player selects between Toon-Up and Sound as their third Gag track.

He is also a 4★ SOS Toon and Gag Trainer for Drop Gags, and may assign Just For Fun ToonTasks to the player in exchange for Drop Gag Experience.

## Appearance

Franz Neckvein is one of the few Toons with a unique model - he is a large, well-built Tan Mouse with disproportionately smaller legs. He speaks in a strong German-Austrian accent and enjoys anything to do with physical exercise and gym activities.

## ToonTask

### Gag Selection: Toon-Up and Sound

After visiting Flippy, who sends you to meet Franz, Franz will assign you the following set of ToonTasks:

* Defeat 3 Cogs (Anywhere)
* Return to Franz
* Defeat one of the following:
	+ 2 Bossbots (Anywhere)
	+ 2 Lawbots (Anywhere)
	+ 2 Cashbots (Anywhere)
	+ 2 Sellbots (Anywhere)
	+ 2 Techbots (Anywhere)
* Return to Franz
* Choose Toon-Up or Sound.

He will give a lecture about Toon-Up and Sound Gags before getting the player to choose one. This starts the chain of ToonTasks where the player can obtain Gag Track Animation Frames for their Gag of choice.

## SOS Toon

Franz Neckvein is a 4★ Drop SOS Toon, and uses Grand Pianos on all Cogs in a 5 square range with low-medium accuracy, dealing 110 damage per piano. Due to his high damage and the ability to hit Cogs without a direct line of sight, he is one of the highly sought-after SOS cards.
