Especially as the creator of said character, I’m sure! One of my characters was meant to just be there for non-canon story purposes, and she ended up as the most important character in my story. (And her non-canon stories were made canon lol)
I think you forgot to mention the time that he beat up all the mercenaries using only his fists, his ability to jump several dozen feet into the air, and his powerful SAXTON HALE yell that causes his enemies to flee in terror. Wait maybe that’s not canon...
@@zacheryvincentcallahan4485 He was joking... Obviously it isn't canon... tho it could still be added to canon if valve decides to add community made game modes one day.
Finally, the one true Australian in the series gets his time to shine! What an interesting life he’s led. Firebombing Woodstock is probably my favorite part!
@@giornojoestar4411 yeah but he likes to believe that he’s an Australian and that his Australian parents are his true parents since his other parents from New Zealand are kinda terrible parants
ᑎIᑕᗴ In the TF2 universe, Sun Tzu and Noah from Noah's ark are the same person, except Sun Tzu beats every animal aboard to death. Charles Darling, a man well-versed in the animal punching industry, decides to capture animals and charge people money to view them from their prison cells, naming the concept after Sun Tzu (pronounced Zoo).
Medic steals/kidnaps a flock of doves from a weding he was around. When he invents the medigun beta, which became the quickfix, archemedis gets hit by the remains of heavies exploded heart and later flies with the other doves behind him to celebrate his success; but gets sewn unto Scouts chest. When medic works for the TFC team (at this point he already removed archemedis from scouts body) Archemedis gets killed by the TFC heavy but is quickly revived by medic. Now every Halloween he turns into the undead bird with partcial intelegence to say any sentence related to eating brains. There you have it.
Very short episode. He steals the wedding van from the prime minister's wedding, and Archimedes comes with him Archimedes burrows into heavy's and later scout's chest. Sometime during the gravel wars, during one halloween where demo's eyes haunts the team, archimedes becomes undead and/or merged with medic in an unspeakable act against nature. Archimedes gets killed by the TFC team but revived thanks to Medic's quick thinking. Combined with reviving the other tf2 mercs, this means the medic revives roughly 10 people and at least one dove in a single day.
With the summer update, apparently Grey man hired the mercenaries to fight Saxton Hale Give the line, "Is money all that matters? After what we have all been through?"
1:13 HE WHAT you're telling me that ryataro dojima, a voice relatively calm, is the same one as the guy who shouts "SACTON HAAAALE" at the top of his lungs?!
I’m thrilled that this series still has massive fans. I love the lore, the characters, and the dedicated fans of this game (even though I’ve never played it)!
Fun fact, Saxton Hale shaved off all his chest hair for his hippie disguise in A Fate Worse Than Chess. It quickly grows back into its Australia shape, panel by panel, throughout the comic.
My vote for the next ep would be TFC team... I really would like to know how much info you can squeeze out of them to make a full episode, since only Fred is mentioned anywhere prior to the main story line (to my knowledge), being next to young Engi on a photo, whether it is Dell himself or the first BLU clone... On that topic, I would say a video about the clone thing would be interesting... I mean, there have been 100% canon material, that shows multiples of a class, like meet the spy, as well as meet the medic showing multiple BLU soldiers. Multiples of RED seem to be game only thing tho, since aside from 1 meet your match poster (which could even have BLU spies desguised as RED mercs), I can't recall... any... mention of any multiple of RED class.
Would be awesome if Valve made a story gamemode for tf2 or something so the player can experience the whole story from comics and more. Or just watch it as a movie but it's using the game characters to present it
Hey Squim, glad you're still doing this thing, even if I'm not a regular viewer I remember first watching you years ago, I'm glad you're happy to be doing this and hope you never give up
Brain: dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont sayi- Me: SAXTON HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POV: you either A got super excited when you saw this and instantly clicked or tapped, or B you didn’t even notice even though you saw this video pop up numerous times and you thought it was an old video you already saw but now you’ve seen it, or C ITS REWATCH TIME!!!!!!!!!
SquimJim is over here talking about all lore and story about Saxton Hale while I’m over here wondering how he’s getting so many kills with his bare fists
I am honestly really happy about this because last night I was just being an idiot didn’t want to listen to any music to go to sleep so I just played your TF2 lore videos I think I fell asleep around the end of sniper or the beginning of medic
8:15 Scout1: ‘runs at Saxton hail with fan o’ war’ oh wait this isn’t gonna work Scout 2: ahhhh a shoulder Solider: rocket time! Scout 1 & 2:ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
With the new Summer update, I think we could infer that at some point the mercs were forced to side with Gray Mann and forced to fight Saxton Hale, who's trying to get his company back.
The most we will probably ever get of him is appearance in a background of a community made map... Unless valve gets so lazy they just copy and paste vs. Saxton Hale mode as a Halloween event with him being a zombie...
Fun fact: Squim shaved his chest hair in the shape of Australia to better envelope himself in the role of SAXTON HALE
Saxton Hale: the only person ALMOST as manly as me.
@@SquimJim HAHA TRUE!
Hmm, your word isn’t enough. We’ll need visual proof.
hmm
AUSTRALIA POWER
It's wild seeing a character that was originally supposed to be a mere joke became one of the most important TF2 characters
I'm waiting for Francis the talking France to become a main character.
Well yeah it's SAXTON HHAAAAAAAAAAAAALE
Only in tf2
Now it's official that Saxton is "sort-of" 10th class
Especially as the creator of said character, I’m sure! One of my characters was meant to just be there for non-canon story purposes, and she ended up as the most important character in my story. (And her non-canon stories were made canon lol)

Wait maybe that’s not canon...
that last one is canon tho he shouts SAXTON HAAALE a lot
Well, there is nothing that can prove it *isn't*
That mode isn't even official so definatly not cannon.
But it would be something to what would have lead to this in-univers.
@@zacheryvincentcallahan4485 He was joking... Obviously it isn't canon... tho it could still be added to canon if valve decides to add community made game modes one day.
His yell is for mercy, those not Mann enough to withstand his yell aren’t Mann enough to fight him
He evolved into a character bigger than Australia over the years
couldn’t have used Hale’s Own Fists? those were only Scarcely Lethal and Mildly Menacing Heavy Fists!
Just strange-farm
He got a time machine
Wait one day ago?

The complete History Of Archemedis!
Medic steals/kidnaps a flock of doves from a weding he was around.
When he invents the medigun beta, which became the quickfix, archemedis gets hit by the remains of heavies exploded heart and later flies with the other doves behind him to celebrate his success; but gets sewn unto Scouts chest.
When medic works for the TFC team (at this point he already removed archemedis from scouts body)
Archemedis gets killed by the TFC heavy but is quickly revived by medic.
Now every Halloween he turns into the undead bird with partcial intelegence to say any sentence related to eating brains.
There you have it.
@@zacheryvincentcallahan4485 Thank you!
Very short episode.
He steals the wedding van from the prime minister's wedding, and Archimedes comes with him
Archimedes burrows into heavy's and later scout's chest.

Coo
@@medicindisquise4271 I did forget he also stole a van and thar it was a prime minister wedding.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I wouldn't mind a minor video on topics like
-Mr Bidwell or Reddy
-The Mann family
-The Badlands or the maps in general
A video about the geography of the TF2 world would be excellent.
With the summer update, apparently Grey man hired the mercenaries to fight Saxton Hale Give the line, "Is money all that matters? After what we have all been through?"
1:13
HE WHAT
you're telling me that ryataro dojima, a voice relatively calm, is the same one as the guy who shouts "SACTON HAAAALE" at the top of his lungs?!
He was waiting for that his entire life
Of all the things I expected, hearing that certainly wasn't it
I was searching for this comment
The fact that he is actually in the game now we need an update short
I love how he didn't punch the two demomen drinking
Me: Has never had the chance to play TF2
Also Me: Loves the characters and and most of the videos featuring them.
Anyone ever realize how squim plays the class he’s making a vid on like he’s playing melee heavy with the saxton loadout and the vid is on saxton
dud doueven know dud ok
Yeah I think that Saxton is a older than he looks, considering the man had a whole damn vault of Australium at one time.
"You just got signed by Saxton Hales fists" - Saxton Hale
ok then
now I can't stop imagining saxton hale constantly telling adachi to shut up
It's worth noting that Reddy was 100% willing to beat up Olivia.
Reddy is the most savage TF2 character.
AND to take over the company that he already managed.
@@shyguymike or just extra ordinarilly loyale.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to purely because of her attitude and the face she was pulling.
@@Thomas-vn6cr nah, totally an orders man.
You know how I would fight her to take over the company?

I never noticed that, thats hilarious
DUDE THAT WAS REALLY YOU I'm so happy i was in your game for the gameplay
7:55 this completely caught me off guard lol.
As someone who has never once looked into TF2 lore, a good chunk of this is out of context and cursed beyond measure.
No one quite like our man SAXTON HALE!
The fact that we know more about the based god Saxton Hale than the mercenaries is amazing
7:59 at this moment brass beast heavy new: he fucked up

1:15 and don’t forget Bane from Arkham origins, probably the one of if not the best and most accurate version of bane
this is the best background gameplay ive seen in any of your videos
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
The Mann brothers might actually be related to Saxton Hale, Given how broken up Barnabas was to hear their mother Betty died.
The mercs might have been hired because of the poopie joe incident.
Literally subbed the second this came out lol
SquimJim is over here talking about all lore and story about Saxton Hale while I’m over here wondering how he’s getting so many kills with his bare fists
I've legitimately never knew the (personally) best father of the Persona series also voiced a man who likes to punch stuff. Wild.
I am honestly really happy about this because last night I was just being an idiot didn’t want to listen to any music to go to sleep so I just played your TF2 lore videos I think I fell asleep around the end of sniper or the beginning of medic
I wanted to tell you how much i appreciate the saxton hale gameplay on the backround
Theodore rosavelt vs Saxton hale would be the battle of the century
Even hale is no match to the all fair and balance random crit 10:28
12:32 That’s enough for me to see Saxton Hale as one of the world’s greatest heroes.

i swear if the next complete history video is the administrator, then im going to say some VERY spicy hat facts.
My main man after breakfast you did it again I am so glad you got back to doing these
It's still here?!? I was starting to think this series had died! Glad to see it back!
2:07 No.
After two years this series returns... YES!!!
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video
Great to know more about Hale, appreciate ya
Day one of asking SquimJim to make the complete history and lore of tf2 cows
i second this
next up: the dispenser
7:04 i love Maggie so much and i know nothing about her yet
Hell yeah, love your content!
Can't wait til issue 7 comes out in 2067 and you have to make sequels to every video in this series.
“Not a playable character.”
If only we knew what was to come.
Thank you! If it wasn't for this mildly interesting, an easily digestible video. I would have never been able to figure out his nationality!
"In 1969 Saxton Hale firebombs Woodstock from a helicopter."
Had me genuinely laughing out loud.
No way saxton hale and dorjima are the same person 1:12
With the new Summer update, I think we could infer that at some point the mercs were forced to side with Gray Mann and forced to fight Saxton Hale, who's trying to get his company back.
I can't believe that Dojimia in Persona 4 is the same VA as the massive Australian who likes to punch animals to extinction
A complete history of the horseless headless horseman?
I wish Saxton hale could actually get an in game appearance.
The most we will probably ever get of him is appearance in a background of a community made map... Unless valve gets so lazy they just copy and paste vs. Saxton Hale mode as a Halloween event with him being a zombie...
@Ironprince yup he is definitely playing saxton
So weird how some people think saxton isnt in the game
i just now realized that the things soldier said about sun tzu are most likely canon
Ever find anymore info on Grey's daughter olivia?
Fun fact: I actually saw you in a doublecross match a while back
it was real cool for you to show up.
New History Of Video .
Heavy Would Be Proud
Haha I am watching this BEFORE BREAKFAST
I’ve been waiting for this one
I think it’s about time we give Trevor his own video.
I guess nothing or no one can beat this man
I wonder if you’ll be doing Grey Mann, Redmond Mann and Blutarch Mann or Zephaniah Mann.
JB Blanc also does a voice for another Aussie, Kano from the newest Mortal Kombat game.
Garfield a tale of 2 kitties is one of my favorite movies
Just you wait until he made an entire documentary of silas
I was today years old when I found out Dojima and Saxton Hale have the same voice actor.
Pretty sure I ran into you guys on powerhouse and was Quickfix medic.
I met them both too! Squib was a medic and I think Squim was a heavy.
@@betaversion9654 Yeah I didn't know that I was in a game with them till 5 minutes in
I’m going to watch this before breakfast
Fun fact: Saxton shares a voice actor with Kuben Blisk from Titanfall, as well as Caustic in Apex Legends
i like how medic has a small insane stamp while pyro has an XXL stamp
You mean Saxton Hale actually owns a shirt? Nothing is more important to him than showing off his chest hair!
Plot twist: He's a Sax master and that's how he got his name really.
Fact: in the jungle inferno trailer when saxton crashes through the wall the hole is shaped like Australia
Honestly I wish he appeared more often
I LOVE THE SAXTON HALE HEAVY :)
The events of the comics could have been prevented had Saxton changed the rules so that children can’t fight.
hahahaha! I watched this BEFORE breakfast!
