Thank you so much!

Deep in the heart of Gray Mann's mechanical army, a defective unit ignores his programming in favor of a new prime directive; Self-preservation at all costs! Unfortunately, he has a weapon of mass-destruction strapped to his back. Can this mechanical pawn prove his own significance? Or will he be just as expendable as the rest?

    This SFM tells us that somewhere there’s a free-thinking robot heavy wearing robot sniper’s hat,
  • I love the sniper bots reaction to having a bomb on its back. it just turns its head and is like "Oh. ok..."
  • @bigmannn2443
    Damn it would have been so cool for valve to make small references to sfm saxxy winners like in one of the maps you see a busted up robot heavy in the distance holding a robot sniper hat just watching
  • @Solomanon
    1:12 sniper really just gave the “You serious?” face to a nuke.

    “War is scary, but when you remind yourself what you’re fighting for, you remind yourself of the fact sacrifices must be made... for the greater good”
  • This doesn’t deserve just best drama, it deserves one of the best dramas of all time. It takes a talented writer to make an emotional story and get the audience attached in just 5 minutes
  • @pineapplec0ke
    you just made me feel more empathy towards a robot than I would to a person
  • @guest-jn8pj
    That sniper is just like I don't know who i am I don't know what i am All i know is that it must RUN

    “I detach myself whenever I’m doing a job, doesn’t mean I’m heartless. But he enjoyed it, a sadistic freak.” -sniper from the TF2 comics (I might’ve butchered how it actually went so feel free to correct me)
  • @pyroboi7003
    Valve: you can kill robots now yaaaay! Tf2 fanbase: what if they had feelings? what if they do..........?
  • @anomaly_jackie
    it’s weird how looking back at this after all these years it feels like the robots that defected are shaking from fear and sadness meanwhile the normal robots are shaking from the motors in their bodies
  • @JCube21
    I want that metal sniper hat to be a cosmetic
  • @vmxkarelyn_0842
    You know what is the saddest part of the logic in here? : the fact that robots cannot respawn as themselves but the players can.
  • @b4ushoutxyz_66
    This is reminiscent of that one star wars comic where a b-1 becomes sentient and runs away from battle, and then another Droid is sent to hunt them down. I'm guessing it was the inspiration for this sfm, so, neat
