Yes, his legal first name is Doctor.
A pioneer of the recently released zap gag track, Dr. Tinkertrouble is a wildcard, even by toon standards! His brain fried to a crisp by his many experiments in sadness-reversal technology, his behavior has driven him to extreme lengths in pursuit of scientific experimentation.
Tinkertrouble is not inherently malicious, just dangerous by proxy. He will accidentally electrocute himself and anyone that isn't careful enough to keep a safe distance. He is influenced and led astray, making him an excellent and loyal lackey to anyone in exchange for a lab to work in and plenty of wires to chew on. In the end, though, he just wants to make stuff that will help people! Even if he gets distracted by the taste of battery acid along the way.

Tinkertrouble took up science as a means of trying to reverse-engineer whatever technology Cogs used to make toons sad. His wife, being perma-saddened after a run in with a Loan Shark invasion, was at the forefront of his mind. Unfortunately, he wound up losing the plot after one too many electric shocks turned him from a well-meaning scientist into a cackling, impulsive goober.
Tinkertrouble was present when Doctor Gus's prototype space-time travel gauntlets were ransacked by Pan Dulce. Intent on helping Doc get them back, Tinkertrouble acts as his lacky and liaison to what they consider to be the "real world" as Gus traveled to the Retro-Tooniverse to get his other gauntlet back.
After Gus fails and is turned into inky slop thanks to being squashed and stretched too much, Tinkertrouble is absolutely devastated--not knowing the full extent of Gus's villainous deeds. Because of this, he uses this as an opportunity to test prototypes of his own, and see if he could bring Gus back from the ink of doom.
Tinkertrouble succeeds, but at a cost. Thanks to a lot of ink, paint, and hyper-charged multipane rotoscopology devices, Gus is revived and no longer a vile of inky goo! Unfortunately, he is no longer fully Gus, either. Calling himself "Von Rotten", he quickly takes over the lab, kicking Tinkertrouble out and saying that the things learned while in other dimensions made him no longer need a mouth-breathing battery licker to assist.
Understandably upset at being fired by a freaky weird guy, Tinkertrouble notices that Von Rotten's appearance led to a massive uptick in cog invasions. Confronting him about this, Tinkertrouble learns that Von Rotten was not only helping a cog, but he was brewing a forbidden substance that could melt toons like chocolate in a hot hand!
Attempting to confront him, Von Rotten revealed that he was going back to the Retro-Tooniverse with new cogs, DIP, and pure unfiltered fury to exact his revenge! Horrified, of course, Tinkertrouble feigned his alliegance to Von Rotten in order to slip in and warn the Retrotoons of the incoming horrors.
Tinkertrouble idolizes Gus for their scientific achievements and general ability to crank out various do-gooderies for the betterment of toonkind! As such, he's more than willing to look the other way when "Doc" wants to do something less-than-ethical when experimenting. Like kidnapping cogs. Or playing god.
The sentiment is definitely not mutual, with Gus being kind on the surface, but seeing Tinkertrouble as a means to an end.
- his cog arm can be from any type of cog, so long as it's a cog arm!
- when typing or writing him, he speaks in ALL CAPS. he also hates loan sharks for some reason...
- his hair stripes are like a black jellybean and shine green.
- his ears were purposefully cropped with highly conductive material. he can act as a lightning rod!
- his huge front teeth give him a slight lisp, and are strong enough to bite into cogs like a can opener.
