[@boejiden5851]

I love how his tank even lights his own cigar in the opening scene

[@NhiroDarko]

It´s my favorite boss. I don´t know if i like more that fact (the tank) the Tom & Jerry references or the soundtrack!

[@marconox4085]

I get it his weners helmet refers to the ww1 geramn helmet due to his german accents and when the cat frees the souls what are they wearing a black and white uniform just like the concentration camp uniforms i see Edit: the death scene is reffered to toxoplasma a disease that infects rats That mind control them to be eaten by cats then the Toxoplasma can now control the Cats brain-TheMarcoNox

[@charlesalston2530]

They say Jerry's been havin' a real tough time coping with the loss of Tom. They also say that right before he became too paranoid to even dare leave his house he even went as far as building a "replacement Tom".

[@Eunamead]

also those PTSDs from WW1

[@moonraven6145]

makes you rethink that entire show, maybe Tom was just created by Jerry to give him some challenge in his life, after the original died of old age or something

[@GayBrain]

guys, why do you have to do this to me

[@crypticmrchimes]

Huh, I just thought that Werner was one of Jerry's cousins who after fighting in the War still wanted another battle, was jealous of Jerry's antics with Tom, and made a deal with the Devil in order to help him build a cat that he can fight all by himself.

I just realized something... This rat is (probably) based on Jerry "Jerries" is slang for "German soldiers" in WW1 Clever...

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

also, his name is Werner Werman, if you read in the german pronunciation, Werman will sound like "Vermin", and the name of this stage, "Murine corps" is a play on "Murinae", the scientific name of the family of rats and mice.

[@000jimbojones000]

Not only in WW1 in ww2 too and Brits are called Tommys... Maybe they named it Tom and jerry because the Tommys and the Jerrys? But the mice wins all the time ?!? But Internet says its just coincidence and has nothing to do with it.... Mhhhh

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

actualy the original inspiration for Tom and Jerry was an existing show called Tom and Jerry that was about two guys who lived through comedic antics.

[@combobreaker1458]

Clever indeed...by chance did you notice the British flag the top left corner, perhaps another WW1 reference

I find it funny how Werner Werman _somehow_ has enough room in that little soup can to fit all of those contraptions. A cannon that shoots cherry bombs, a catapult that shoots a bunch of little crumbs and trash, some springs, a firework, two flamethrowers, and a hand to light his cigar can all fit in there, apparently.

[@josecuestas7246]

Perhaps his tank is similar to Iron man armour, in the sense of be a very advanced gear that can carry a notable arsenal, with little space.

[@Bram25]

I love how every boss has his or her own tune. All played by a band. Love it.

[@keyanawhitely7942]

My thoughts exactly. There's always a certain theme that matches the boss battles so well.

[@felicitytherainbowbutterfl7662]

Werner's battle has to be one of my favorites, it's fun, it's not frustrating (specially since i took on him after certain robot), the noises, the music, werner himself (his design, the intro and how he faked being eaten)

Hey, Baroness.

[@JamesMcCloud966]

My brother and I were playing this boss just yesterday when I came up with an interesting theory about the boss. Each boss owes their soul to the devil but the game never touches on the backstory of any of them. My theory about this boss was that Werner Werman was a tanker who sold their soul to the devil in return for the guarantee that they'd never be defeated in battle. It would explain all the awards and medals in the background and why he refers to his tin can as the ultimate machine.

[@ExplosivesMaster]

Jejune Jimbo If he could never be defeated in battle, then how did cuphead defeat him?

[@deadchannelrip1065]

ExplosivesMaster Well... Cuphead defeated the devil himself so maybe he's that strong

[@psychicjellyfish9466]

What, No lore? “The War between Rodents and Felines was nothing if not steadfast, but at no point had it reached such an incredibly violent high than the day Werner Werman lost his entire Faction to but one, ONE of his ferocious feline foes. He, a humble general at the time, had assumed the Murine Corps HQ was safe for his soldiers to abide inside, a mistake that proved to be fatal to his poor, poor fellow mice in arms. The cat, Whiskers, struck without warning, and in one ominous and deadly *gulp* Werner was all that remained. Cowering behind a wall in fear, he wished for something, *anything* to help him trounce this Tabby and make it out alive. And who else to show up in his miserable desperation than the Devil himself? In an instant, a deal was made, granting Werner enough time, tools, and intelligence to construct a weapon with the strength to flatten a thousand Cats! His new weapon, the aptly named ‘Can o’ War’, lived up to its name, and after an epic battle, Whiskers was no more. But Werner, with his heightened intelligence, knew it would be foolish to hold up his end of the bargain, and rebuilt his now defeated foe as a massive, hulking android to ward off the Devil, as well as anyone who would dare to enter his domain.”

Even thought I am not good at english,I can try. *ahem* Werner was sitting in his room,smoking a cigar,staring at house map with his head in his hands. He had been sitting like this for entire night,thinking of a way out of the mess he and his platoon got stuck in. The sewer rats were slowly making their way towards their base. Many of Werner's soldiers died,the rest was heavily wounded. He was the last one capable to fight. And just to make the situation worse,they were running out of ammo and food supplies. Werner dropped his head on a table and sighed. There is no way out. Only a miracle could save them. But a miracle came in a face of a Devil himself. Devil promised to give Werner a one weapon of his choice. A machine gun,a tank,a nuke-anything the mouse general desired. After spending some time thinking,Werner made a decision. He asked devil for a cat mech with installed auto pilot for a brain and a prison for a stomach. Devil,smiling from ear to ear,granted his wish. But if somehow Werner gets defeated with weapon like this,he will have to repay with his soul. But Werner just shrugged it off. After all,he is an experienced soldier,a genius and now has a weapon strong enough to slay thousands. There is no way anyone could defeat him. Welp I tried. Sorry for typos.

Another alternative since I cannot find SonicDestroyer12's story for Werner Werner Werman grew up as a poor German rat and joined the military when he was older. Many of his family and friends joined the Army. Werner was triumphant in many battles afterwards and was sent to a Special division. During the war, Werner was a hero and won lots of awards.He was sent to a special mission that scarred his life. He was supposed to protect another division which included his brother. He was triumphant but jealous comrads left him to die and they cutoff his radio.He was alone and by himself and in a fit of rage he shot without aiming into an empty field. But his brother was killed from the shot. When Werner went to see his shot land, he........ didn't like the results. He was angry at himself for being too good at his job. He went crazy and asked for his life to be different and the devil heard his cries and offered to forgot this memory in exchange for his soul. Werner accepted and quickly ran to escape his end of the bargain.

Werner Werman was shaken with visions of the war. He had served in World War 2, against the German forces, and was badly wounded. His only friend was a stray cat, and the cat soon passed away. Werner had been teased and taunted for having to use a wheelchair to get around, so he finally decided to bargain with the Devil to help. The Devil gave him a robotic version of the cat, and a soup-can tank. He crushed all who opposed him, until the soul was to be collected. He then realized that he couldn't give his soul when he had lost his crushing all of his taunters.

[@flakeybitsus5830]

Well, SonicDestroyer isn't here, and a bunch of people have tried to fill the void, so let me give it a shot. Werner Werman was a long-standing member of the tiny, but mighty Murine Corps, where he was renowned for his genius, quite literally building the standard issue tank out of a tin can and a robotic cat that was practically indistinguishable from the real thing. However, in spite of his intelligence, Werman lacked any concept of strategy, which kept him grounded at Private First Class. Unable to serve his homeland at such a low rank, Werner begged someone, anyone, to teach him the ways of strategy, and that someone had to be The Devil. Offering the miniscule price of his soul, The Demon could give Werner the ability to raise failing battle plans from the ashes, to which the rodent quickly accepted. It didn't take long for The-Soon-To-Be-General Werner Werman to rise through the ranks, earning himself several medals along the way, (Which, unfortunately, were too big to fit on his person) After rising to a cushy position, Werner began to grow arrogant, believing he could use his newfound tactical wit to cheat The Devil, Werner Werman packed his war memorabilia, fled to Inkwell Isle, and set his cannons to fire at whoever walked through the front door.

Flakey Bitsus That's pretty good.

Speaking as a German, this might be my favourite boss of the entire game (Chef Saltbaker, Moonshine Mob, Mortimer Freeze, Phantom Express and Carla Maria come close). I just love that "Charge forward" attack of Werner in this first phase, always cracks me up! And it somehow always seems to be implemented in American's DNA to make fun of Germans 😂 Also, definitely my favourite track in the base game!

[@soliton9457]

I LOVE the double meaning here - the reference to the old TV show tom and jerry combined with the reference to the slang term of 'jerries' for the Germans and 'tommies' for the Brits during ww1

I do sense a Tom and Jerry vibe into this. But I also questioning how can a mech have souls of dead mice in there if it's actually a robot? But then again. Maybe it was on auto pilot when you were fighting phases one and 2.

[@Guy-ib6dk]

"Warner Warman" always wanted to have an invention of his own, after all everyone else has a device or power in inkwell, he began experimenting, but it was all a failure, while strolling down the street he came along the devil, the devil, as usual, offered this little vermin a soup tank. "Warman" was of course going to make a few ajustments to it, but it was a tank, he couldn't pass up the opportunity and decided to continue, the devil warned him, he needed his soul contract, he gave it to him, but the devil was no idiot, it turned out Wermen forged Warner Bros. Signature, and now is getting a double strike

Boone Keller in WW1 the Germans had nothing special about them except the fact they made synchronization gears which gave their planes a advantage since they can store more ammo heck during ww1 the Germans were notorious for doing the unconventional way of fighting until the British made the Tank kicking their asses and France was the Rival Against Germany

[@orihallmark]

SonicDestroyer didn't make a lore, so I will. Werner was a small rat with big dreams. He was picked on for being small, and he wanted to prove his bullies wrong. He thought if he could build something great, that would benefit the rat society, his name would be in history. Werner envied the humans and their extraordinary creations. He wanted to make contraptions of his own, to be able to shine as a hero in all the rat's eyes. The only problem was that he couldn't figure out how to build even a simple catapult. He prayed to the heavens for the knowledge, but someone down below heard him instead. The devil offered him the intelligence to build machinery beyond his wildest dreams, with the cost of his soul, no doubt. Werner wasn't sure, but he accepted the deal anyways. Suddenly, he was filled with knowledge and energy burst through him. He ran back to his workshop, trying to decide what to do first. Then, he had a glorious idea. What if he could build a machine that tricked his fellow rats, that fooled the eyes of everyone? He would be able to disguise himself, to make everyone bow down to him, even though he was just a simple rat. He started to work, to build his brand new contraption. One thing was for sure: he would never be small again.

The concept of a rat using household items as his weapons feels like an inspiration to a Tom and Jerry episode: "The Yankee Doodle Mouse" where Jerry sets up a War Zone against Tom using household items

[@doktorfickle2077]

I can't get enough of the german speech. Ja!

[@mojojobo4180]

Well, I don't see mr lore....here I go. Werner Werman was a normal rat who lived in a hole in a busted down house. There was this cat that always tried to eat it at every opportunity. He couldn't handle it anymore, so he asked the one person he knew who could help him, The Devil himself. When Werner Werman told the devil about the cat, the devil said he would give him his own personal vehicle for a price, a very low price of his soul. While the devil was leaving, the cat tried to eat him, so he accidently shot it with the contract of a fellow robot, and turned the cat into a robot. Werner Werman knew what to do, so he maxed out his machine's defense, and started to operate the cat when he was in peril by making a scared sound. He found some bottle caps in his little hole, and he decided to make some saws to hurt those who tried to take him out. However, as a rat, he had his ways. He lied, and kept his soul contract to himself, inside the giant robot cat. The devil was surprised, and when he heard about some cups going around town, he knew they could stop Werner Werman from keeping the contract. Yeah, it sucks, but I tried.

[@charlesm7215]

This fight has an interesting visual error, which is likely a bug: In the Catbot phase, when the cat attacks you from either side of the screen, its arm reaches around the wall to swat you with its claws. However, its arm _never actually goes behind the background_ - you can see its arm cut off at a certain point in the attack animation, and his paw will inexplicably show up, detached from the rest of him.

[@hedgehogcommentaries9669]

I have to admit I’m having real truuble with this one. Phase two seems very random at times and locks you out of any possible escape. I’ve actually had two bottle caps on one level and the flamethrower on another. No way you can dodge that. Fun boss though.

[@glimmerstantroop46321]

Most creative boss bar none, super fun too, a German rat in a soup can lol. Also the fact that he built Katzenwagon (or......whatever the hell its called) is insane.

[@roblightyear983]

This is my favorite boss out of the whole game! The characters and theme have been inspired by Tom & Jerry. In my opinion, when the cat opens his mouth to reveal rat ghosts, it is very possible that they were illusions via a projector considering the fact that the cat was a robot the whole time. The cat also has a name; Katzenwagen (Weird name for a cat if you ask me.)

[@therealblacktronempire1987]
