The Glue That Binds

Squeakity!
"Take a break," they said. "It'll be great!" they said... Well, look where it's led: Sellbots! And they're all coming for my head! And I'm stuck in such a sticky sitch, 'cause my branded blue glue dries in a cinch! Oh no, oh no, I hope this improved stun doesn't let them go!
It was my lonely day off until I read this letter. The supposed 'Resistance' sent it – I should have known better! An order for blue glue, direct to the HQ? Those Sellbots do scare me, but how yellow do I care to be? On my way past the Gag Shop, an ad crossed my eye: "Use Improved Trap & Lure to Hit 'em Bullseye!"
I really had no clue! When you spring a spry Trap it helps other gags hit, too! But no, that's not all, you'd best sit so you don't fall! Place as many Traps in battle as you are able, for each one makes a group Lure more stable!
So with that, I figured I could handle any rabble or Cog babble. Plus, that V.P.'s cold cage is more trifle than trouble. If anything, I'd leave that HQ in rubble! Up to the doors I went with the box, but dropped it catastrophically when a Mr. Hollywood appeared, like a pox! He wanted to sell me some kind of... thing, I nearly got lost in his toothy bling! Beguiled, you could call me – did they do that before? I think those new Cog Attacks have been improved even more...
Squeaky – But I'm stuck! I should reconsider my career, with this luck... This order was a setup! These Cogs never let up. They prey on Toons they're more likely to trick, like those too trusting, or ones dumb as a brick! Which one of those is me, I don't wanna believe. What I do have, now, is an ace up my sleeve!
Glue!
Now in the Cattlelog, thanks to yours truly: a SpeedChat phrase to manifest Lure going smoothly! Just don't be surprised if it doesn't work...
Rats!
Being trapped in a cage is a task you'd rather shirk!
July 19, 2024 [ttr-live-v4.0.5]
Balancing
• Increased Trap Activation Stun Bonus from 30% to 50%. Actions after Trap hits a Cog will have increased accuracy.
• The passive 10% Lure Accuracy Bonus that Trap provides is now stackable with other 'Trapped' Cogs when using a group Lure, adding 5% per extra Trap placed.
Cog Battles
• Updated and polished animations for almost all new standard Cog attacks added in v4.0.0! These include Beguile, Nickel and Dime, Money Talks, Embezzle, Quash, Close the Loop, Hostile Takeover, and Flood the Market.
Facilities
• Updated quality and volume standards of music added to Cashbot and Bossbot HQ in v4.0.0. This should fix any issues with noticeable clicks and low fidelity!

• Difficult Supervisors now have the gear emblem around their insignia, similar to their respective Cog Facility elevators.

Always fun to see TTR embracing the old myths and memes of TTO. Love to see it. Also, the extra lure and trap support is incredible, as someone who often helps others train them.
Oh man! I'm so excited! I can't wait to play and see the new animations!
Poor Sticky Lou... Well, I'm sure someone will save him sooner or later, with some "Glue"!
GLUEEEEEE!!!!!!
