The Sellbot Factory is a cog facility in Sellbot Headquarters. Toons can battle Sellbots and earn Sellbot cog suit parts or Merits for a promotion. Inside of the factory are many groups of Sellbots, goons, obstacles, and barrels added by the Toon Resistance for toons to restock gags, laff points or jellybeans. A group of four toons can enter the elevator or form a Boarding Group to defeat the cogs in the factory. The factory has two entrances: the front entrance and the side entrance. The cogs in the Sellbot factory are level 3 to level 9.
This map was found by a doodle in Sellbot Headquarters. It was released to provide toons with a map of the factory. Toons need to battle the Foreman to get all the pieces to their Sellbot cog suit.

Final Battle
The Foreman
After successfully defeating many groups of cogs and getting past the obstacles, toons must face the Factory Foreman in the Center Silo Control Room. It is a level 9 skelecog, the highest level cog in the factory, who is accompanied by three level 6 cogs. When the Foreman and the accompanied cogs are defeated, the toons will get their reward for completing the factory: gag experience, and Sellbot suit part (if the suit is not complete) or merits (if the suit is complete)
Routes
Players often take certain routes to obtain a certain number of merits. The choice of route is determined by the number of merits a player needs. Listed are rooms where cog battles occur. Note that both routes begin from the Front Entrance and not the Side Entrance.
Short Route
Lobby - Gear Room / Boiler Room - Warehouse - West Silo - East Silo - Center Silo
The Short Route yields up to 240 merits (or 480 during an invasion). 20 cogs are battled in this route. Note that players are given the option to visit either the Gear Room or Boiler Room since both can lead to the Warehouse; however, in the Gear Room, there are 2 level 5 and 1 level 6 skelecogs while in the Boiler Room there are levels 3, 5, and 6 cogs; thus, for only a slight difference in merits, players visit the Gear Room more often.
Long Route
Lobby - Gear Room - Boiler Room - Pipe Room - Duct Room - Oil Room - Warehouse - West Silo - East Silo - Center Silo
The Long Route yields up to 388 merits (or 776 during an invasion). All 35 cogs must be faced in order to obtain the total amount of merits. This is a very common route when players' required merits reach 800 (Glad Hander Level 8) or beyond, and more so as their cog suit becomes further promoted. Along the way, players may restock at the Lava Room inbetween the Duct and Oil Rooms.
Laff Point Limits
The laff point restrictions for the Sellbot factory.
The front entrance has no laff limit, but the side entrance only allows toons with at least 31 laff points remaining to enter.
Trivia
- Sellbots in the factory are at lower levels compared to cogs in other Cog HQ facilities. There are no level 10, 11, or 12 cogs here.
- There is a 2x experience multiplier for the entire Sellbot factory.
- None of the rooms in the factory show actual cog production.
- The Sellbot Factory was originally going to be the Sellbot Leg Factory. This was a part of Disney's original plans for Cog headquarters, where there would be a factory for every cog suit part. Toons would get a Sellbot leg part here.
- In the game files, it is still called the Sellbot Leg Factory.
- When Sellbot HQ was released, the factory featured goons which if ran into could take away up to 20 laff points. [Citation Needed »]
- Back in 2004, cogs in the factory could have levels between 4 and 11; however, when Cashbot Headquarters was released, an update drastically lowered the difficulty of the factory by lowering the levels of the cogs and reducing goon damage.
- Unlike other Cog HQ facilities, the Sellbot Factory remains consistent in terms of rooms, restock barrels, and hazards. The only differences in each run are the types of cogs faced in each room.
- There are only three rooms with skelecogs: the Gear Room, the Pipe Room, and the Center Silo.
