Attack Animation
- The cog wiggles its fingers forming yellow sparks to appear in a straight line.

- If a toon is attacked, he/she will be lifted up by the sparks and shake in the air before being dropped to the ground.
- If a toon avoids the attack, he/she will jump over the attack causing the sparks to dissapear.
