Tom Fuse (훤빈/Hwon Bin), or Brad Pitt in early dubs, (yes, really) is the younger cousin of Acnee, an MBA graduate from Havary (하바리) University, a famous actor, and a successful, silver-tongued entrepreneur with his hands in many different businesses. [1] As he believes the world exists for him, he is very vain, looking down on lower work classes, and works hard at an air of mystery, and thinks he knows everything. Though he seems to have refined manners, he has no respect to others. [2]
Tom uses little transforming mouse robots to sabotage businesses that are in competition with him. He is the main antagonist of the series from Episodes 9-30 of Season 2. In his final episode, Final Dash, it is heavily implied that Tom Fuse intentionally went down with his burning factory due to his failure to destroy the Tobots. However, in the US English dub, that scene is cut out and re-written to make it appear that he escaped with the others, and in the next episode it is mentioned that he decided to retire.

Biography[]
Tom first appears in the episode Steering Strangers as a mysterious man who visits many tteokbokki restaurants, leaving large tips and rating the quality of the food on his phone, most likely to see how much of a competition they would be when his company is launched. He leaves his phone behind at every restaurant, which are actually little robots resembling mice that are made to explode the buildings and burn down the buildings that are in competition with him.
His plan goes well at first, until the Tobots step in and mess it up, protecting the remaining restaurants. Tom increasingly becomes addicted to destroying the Tobots and hiding the evidence for his massive crimes against small businesses.
After the Tobots infiltrate his factory and discover the imprisonment of people who spoke out against him, he uses up his remaining, most powerful robot to destroy the Tobots, which appears to be successful, until they manage to explode and destroy it. Seeing his failure, Tom Fuse says his final words to his right hand man, Mr. Holmes, and Diluk, his bumbling assistant, then stays inside with the building as it explodes, going down with the factory.
