Trivia

• A Downsizer's appearance is almost identical to a Bean Counter. The differences between them are that they are a different Cog branch (one is a Bossbot and the other is a Cashbot) and have different colored hands. A Bean Counter also has a slightly different face close-up.
• A Downsizer is the only Cog with three signature attacks.
• The Downsizer is one of the few Cogs with hats. The others are the Bean Counter, the Ambulance Chaser, muscular Skelecogs, and the C.E.O.
