Something you missed when Soldier did the natural run: those two pickaxes are weapons from the game, specifically the Equalizer and the Escape Plan. Both do stuff the lower your health gets, the former increasing in damage while the latter increases move speed. Soldier using both not only gives him a great reason to be able to tangle with the golem, but is also a reference to how these two weapons were originally one weapon that was split into two separate ones due to being overpowered.
Interesting way to nerf it
I have 3k hours in tf2 and I didn't even notice that lol
@@kamui1847 i have 0 hours on tf2 but i notice that lol
Flecls
The Winglet Cinematic Universe :flushed:
@@JLL_29 a fellow lore drain I see.
Not only does Demoman get a claymore, he has an entire subclass called Demoknight dedicated to charging into battle with nothing more than his melee weapon
Boots, Shields and Swords.
"Meet the solarlight"
New players when they get eyelander: yEsH
And demopan or bottleman
Just like Trolldier
Yeah, the series can be watched in that order :
THE FEDORA CHRONICLES : OPERATION 2FORT > THE BOLTED BEHEMOTH > LIVE AND LET SPY > BURNING THROUGH SPACE 1 AND 2 > THE RED, THE BLU AND THE UGLY.
Edit : Thx for pointing that first one out, fellas.
Don't forget the beginning: The Fedora Chronicles.
CORRECTION: BEFORE THE BOLTED BEHEMOTH THERE IS OPERATION 2FORT***
Burning through Space 1 & 2 were more of a spinoff but yea that is cool
@@CommissarChaotic The Team from Burning Through space appear as a main thing at the end of The Red The Blu and The Ugly. So it would be kind of necessary for him to watch, people would think "why all that drama for some random team with another random Engi as the leader? They don't sound special"
@@CommissarChaotic They're not a spinoff
All winglet animations have story, so yeah, starts with the fedora chronicles, theres also the side story of burning through space that conects to the main story on this one
Not all
Taunt Fortress 2: _"huh?"_
Also the blue team is the same blue team from The Art of Spychecking
Winglet Animated Universe
The WAU
the timeline goes
fedora chronicles operation 2fort to bolted behemoth to burning through space 1 and 2 and live and let spy, and then the red blu and the ugly that connects to burning through space 2
Ah this was the censored version that took out a lot of gory scenes
Sadness :(
not a lot, they just took out soldier interrogating scout and scout’s organs falling out
@@caca5227 that's the best part
@@hewohoovy indeed the best part
Well wasn't that a mistake MHGR
3:32 yes, he called the sniper a “Filthy Jar Man” due to one of his weapons being a jar of pee, no this is not a joke
Jarate
Yep, sniper throws bottles or jars of piss to enemies
5:39
He saw the pee video. You know which one.
"Heads up!"
Sniper Is From New Zeland But Raised On Australia, and The German On the Game Is The Medic
i like that meme of awesome face
Yes the sniper was born in New Zealand but he was raised and lived his entire life in Australia, so he’s Australian.
@@ilikefrenchfries3585 Not 100% Aussie But He Is Considered Australian
His nationality is new Zealand but he's Australian to most
@@awesomeface1 Yeah he crawled into the rocket his crazy real father made right?
Edit: It was supposed to reach space but never did so it crashed in Australia where he was raised
The winglet has made many short films in this series, the fedora chronicles (operation 2fort), the bolted behemoth, burning through space, live and let spy, burning through space 2, and then this one, the red, the blu, and the ugly
u are so cool!
I think also the art of spy checking is part of this
And is it just me or does that same partyhat demo die in horrible ways in every single one?
@@Issengan it's a running gag that the animator (the winglet), kills the demo with the party hat cus its his profile pic
@@kritikill7779 oof.
I just remember him giving that same sad expression before someone annhialates him
The robot skins are actually in a co-op gamemode where 6 players fight hordes of robots. There's a trailer for it as well if you'd like to check that out. Australium is also in the lore as well, so is G. Mann. Here's a quick run-through of the real lore.
Two brothers, Redmond Mann and Blutarch Mann hire Mercs to fight for their late father's land. Saxton Hale supplies both of them, and australium is used to make good inventions and weapons. However, they have a third abandoned brother, Graymond Mann who decides to try to take all the land for himself with robots.
Its just Gray Mann, not Graymond
Also the machinery attached to his spine is called a "not dying machine" if I remember correctly
I don't think australium was used for weapons, weren't they instead used to extend the life of the mann brothers and the administrator
@@shadowfreddyfazbear9453 They were used for both
@@themalcahtwinz4743 oh ok
11:28 if you’re wondering why this demo in particular got a very grizzly death, it’s because it’s a running gag. That demo is The Winglet’s in game avatar and in almost every single video he has made, there’s a scene with him dying.
Like every Tarantino film that he's In, he gets killed
Hasn't South Park done that already with Kenneth McCormick?
Fun Fact : The Winglet always makes a cameo in his works of art, his character is The BLU Demoman with his signature blue party hat and is often given the most gruesome, painful, or embarrassing deaths in his animations [11:25]
Really I didn’t know that? Thats actually pretty funny
At 26:40 he says "Crystalized Australium", *not* "Australian"
In the TF2, Australium is a mineral found in... well, Australia, that's known to contain superb properties that can be used for hyper-advanced technology
That can actually extend your age, As they say in the TF2 Comica
the road where they were on was the driving background of "meet the sniper" so ye, it is in Australia
It also explains all the Sci-fi tech in the 70s
australiam is basically tf2 gold
@@thatguywiththebluestickmanpfp gold already exists in the tf2 universe
By watching the "clean version" you missed a whole part of Soldier interrogating Scout while he still had duct tape over his mouth and Soldier grew increasingly annoyed he wouldn't answer 😆
I didn't even know there was a clean version honsetly.
@@spandanganguli6903 scout was doused in gasoline, and sniper's head is blown off completely exept for the jaw, with brain matter stuck to the wall
I love the “neck snap!” at the scout’s plan that soldier does to sniper, reminds me of the comics
"Neck fix!"
Oh god, the memories
And scout reads comic books and is a very exaggerated cartoony-minded person also
There is a mode in the game called man versus machine and it’s where the player fights countless hordes of robots and that’s where the robots are from
Ok big nerd time, it's called mann vs machine. Mann is spelled with two n's for some reason.
@@peterl1955 because mann co
@@BunPlus11 TRUE THO
@@peterl1955 It is literally just the last name of the three brothers, Bluetarch Mann, Redmond Mann and Grey Mann.
@@peterl1955 well because of the mann brothers?
27:55 The Gray Mann dialogue is actually from one of the several fan voice actors for him.
Please, react to "inferno update", "mann vs machine" and "mann vs machine: the sound of medicine".
Its the chrono order (between inferno and machine apears a new CEO who fire the mercenarys and sustitus they for robots). They are official
Pd. Also "red robot" (fan)
The scene where soldier grabs the sniper from the motorcycle in the air, is a reference to a famous bollywood movie
Kinda mad he missed live and let spy the part before this
Fun fact, the cleaver has Chinese characters on it for dead meat (si rou)
u are great!
Nice
Lol that’s perfect
Finally, someone pointed it out
There's only one video between this and "The Bolted Behemoth," and that's "Live and Let Spy."
"The Bolted Behemoth" also goes off into another slightly more absurd couple of videos, those being "Burning Through Space" 1 and 2 which also somewhat connect back into this at the end.
There are a few "robot" cosmetics, but no full-on skin. At least not for the players; they are from the Mann vs. Machine gamemode. The robots are strictly AI-controlled.
Gotta love the references here. I laughed harder than I had in a while at "Here's Pyro!" XD
This is actually a sequel to Winglet’s Live and Let Spy video, which is a sequel to the Bolted Behemoth which you already reacted to, so maybe you should watch Live and Let Spy for context on what happened before this
"The man who is a walking fire hazard just had a lit cigarette thrown at him"
yes, he is very much, though for... other reasons
Interesting! Hahaha
13:12 Soldier was still holding Demoman’s arm thinking it was a Shotgun
And demo's hand just formed into a gun.
13:10
Random Fact: The Two Pickaxes Soldier used when he was on the verge of death are weapons that give you extra speed and deal more damage the lower your health is.
i love ho pyro just casually drowned and nobody really cared
also some of the voice actors, especially the one who does Scout, are big fans of tf2 and are still playing and streaming it, and so sometimes will even record new lines for things like this.
Spy called sniper a jar man because one of his more iconic weapons is a jar of unidentified yellow liquid called “jarate”, which he throws at enemy causing a debug effect. We also know that the process of making it involves various drugs that shut down his kidneys.
Yup, the correct order is “bolted bohemoth”, “live and let spy” then this one for the main team and “bolted bohemoth”, “burning through space” and “burning through space 2” for the support team they request
Operation 2Fort takes place before Bolted Behemoth.
The Baret that the heavy is using during the start of the animation is called “Bill’s Hat” which is a reference to the character Bill for Valve’s Left 4 Dead franchise.
Also he did call him a jar man because one of us in game weapons is a piss jar and the demo man has a claymore because there’s a sub class called demoknight
the claymore thing is also a word play on the sword claymore and the anti-personnel mine claymore (as he is a demolitions expert after all)
Wth do you mean by "one of us in game weapons is a piss of jar"
One of us is a piss of jar..?
*Not Piss of Jar*
There is one Piss Of Jar among humans.

The robots are from a side mode in the game called "Mann vs Machine", a mode that takes place after the events of the main mode
The man on the TV is the creator of these robots, his name is Grey Mann, he was raised by eagles and planned his revenge for years
This isnt even a reaction anymore. Its this guy explaining and comparing tf2 and real life. But i love every second of it
Just like that British guy explaing tf2 weapons right. His name is nathan or something idk
25:51 the robots arent skins or an animator thing, but rather from a seperate gamemode called Mann vs. Machine, which is basically a group of players taking on waves of robots
34:27 one cool detail is that the pickaxes soldier uses (the escape plan and equalizer) both give stat boosts at low health (to speed and power respectively) which explains why soldier is able to fight him off so well.
Austrium is a substance in TF2 where it can make you live forever if you have enough of it. Eventually when you run out you would die and shrivel into old age.
It’s cool that you picked up on the Garand thumb detail just like that. It’s on the Sniper’s hand model - it may not match what we see him using in-game but I’d say it’s just meant to add to his general sharpshooter vibe
Tf2 doesn't have robot cosmetics, BUT you can fight robots in a co-op wave defense mode - Mann Versus Machine
34:28 That's also a reference to those weapons (they used to be one called the "Equalizer"). As Soldier's HP lowers, one increases his speed and the other increases his melee damage (critical level damage once below 5HP)
On the game theres a gamemode called mann vs machine where as the title says the players fight the robots.
Thats where the models come from
3:30 he called him a jar-man because the sniper fills bottles with his own piss and throws them at enemies as a weapon called Jarate (Jar based Karate)
“The funny hats are not causing strong unit loyalty”
This also applies to TF2
And in spy’s disguise: there’s another! In the first iron man movie! An outlander points a gun at the mark 1 suit, bouncing of and in to his head
For reference, those pickaxes the soldier picked up are a few of his options as melee tools. They are called the equalizer (silver) and the escape plan (black).
The equalizer does more damage the closer to death you are, and the escape plan lets you move faster the closer to death you are (though you also take 1.5x more damage for the boost.
Basically, those pickaxes turned him into one of the most dangerous beings on the planet, who would also probably die if you punched him once.
About the claymore, the Eyelander is the very first weapon I unlocked, and then realised, WEAPON. TYPES. And subclasses exi
Yes, you're correct. Here's a playlist with the correct order (You don't have to watch operation 2fort): ua-cam.com/play/PLzByyQKXApqMGiFW_TpC5TgNlCjqzRcmu.html
is that a fucking rickroll
@@sebastianmartinez6516 its a playlist
@@sebastianmartinez6516 you can see "playlist" in the link. It's very unlikely for a person to try to rickroll us with a link containing "playlist" on a video with a guy who has been to the army and doesn't seem to like our humor. Also what is the problem with rickrolls? Like nobody is going to find out that you got rickrolled. It's just a nice song, anyway.
@@thegunslinger9707 You have a point but, i dislike the Gunslinger so
That needlessly cruel death is a recurring gag.
The Blu Demoman with the party hat is Winglet’s avatar and he tends to die in gruesome ways.
I believe the scene with Spy kicking the briefcase on the road was a Wild Hogs reference as well. Although, Wild Hogs was one of those movies that referenced a lot of others on its own, so it may very well be from something else.
if that Grand's finger was still in the video, «meet the sniper»
26:45 In the TF2 Universe it is a metal which gave the Australians of their universe enhanced muscular bodies, hyper intelligent minds, and had the properties to allow for someone with a refined form of the Australian to prolong their life.
And don’t forget body hair in the shape of Australia
DUDE!
when spy kicked the briefcase, another family member's phone just played a "there was an attempt" song
Australium is tf2's gold. and also the dual M249 SAWs spy was holding (supposed to be M60s) was a reference to Rambo.
Fun fact: soldier was never in the military, yet still fought the war, but kept fighting even after the war, he also self thought him “military moves”
It's great to see a reaction channel with something to say and not just say "It's so good" over and over. Keep up the good work, man.
Fun fact: the scene from Indiana Jones was filmed that way because Harrison Ford was not feeling well that day so they had to shorten an epic fight scene that was planed to get ake place was instead changed to him just shooting the big guy and walking off
26:00 The robots are from Mann vs Machine with pits you, the Team Fortress 2 team against the robot armies of Gray Mann, the astranged Brother of Redmond and Blutarch Mann who had died in their feud over their father’s land that was left to them when he died.
Spy throwing the scout bot before unloading the entire magnum was also a refrence to "get help" from thor ragnarok
G. Mann is not gman from half-life. G Mann stands for grey Mann he is the 3rd brother of Mann co kids which are Redmond, Blutarch. Redmond and blutarch are the owners of red and blu companies, they were fighting for Mann co, but neither of them actually overcame one another so they were contesting for a while, until grey Mann (who was considered dead because of he was stolen from parents by a literal eagle) came to steal everything by using robot impersonalizations of mercenaries.
Also australium is a lore metal which is the reason why Mann co was found and is the reason why respawning is a thing. Also there are australium weapons in game.
"...any significant level of steel..."- the same robot were killed by a rolling table a minute ago.
32:16
If you listen closely, the second that the Spy makes when decloaking is the Dead Ringer, being an invisibility watch that only activates upon taking damage!
It is entirely possible a shot may have gone through the box and activated the DR.
34:30
The dual wielded pickaxes are the Equalizer and the Escape Plan, both Soldier melee weapons.
In the past, they used to be one item!
The two items provided higher melee damage and higher movement speed respectively when at low health.
The robot models are from an alternate game mode in Team Fortress 2 called Mann Vs. Machine. Basically a game mode where Red and Blu team up to fight an endless robot army.
I reccomend campfire stories of mikeburnfire. he was briefly a marine and his cohost Zach was a small arms repaiman in the Army. Plenty of tales and grumbles there. Here's the playlist with every single one: ua-cam.com/play/PL3itm4Cj7SBB670hCjagXsEYXrzqqMwud.html
Don't forget about the cabinets
Either that or the gun rants, both are amazing content
I love that channel
"Um yea this a is a revolver" Zach
@@aviatorfox4789 "Yeah, can I get one of those shotguns with a cheese grater on it?"
"You mean a heat guard?"
The reason why the spy called the blue sniper "A filthy jar man" is because he uses jars of his piss to throw at enemies in the game.
You can't get robot skins but they are used for Mann vs Machine.
Last TF2 video you asked how they get all the Voice Lines. The game has TONS of dialogue as it's 14 years old and SFM makers will combine and splice the audio to make story. Winglet is amazing with it.
Live and Let Spy was supposed to be before this.
Plus deleted scene.
Still a good reaction video.
The reference in the flashback was probably to the good, the bad, and the ugly.
"When you need to shoot, shoot, don't talk."
25:58 In TF2 theres a gamemode were you fight robots (lore related slightly)
26:52 the robot broadcasts to him
38:20 It's actually a jojo refference, it seriously looks like one, that rock thingy
The two pickaxes are the escape plan and the equalizer. The escape plan lets you move faster when injured and the equalizer lets you do more damage when injured. They used to be one weapon but for the sake of balance they were split into two. Normally you can't equip both at the same time but hey, movies.
In tf2 there are difrent weponds to unlock
By simply playing the game and demoman has a sub-class called demo Knight and it self-explanatory and btw I think 13-14 individual weponds for all clases
Sniper: calls red team pikeys
Paul: no reaction
Sniper: is called a "jarman"
Paul: HOL' UP
13:09
Soldier armed himself with Demo's arm.
L🤣L
3:36 he called him a “filthy jar man” because he uses jars of piss as a weapon, which counters spy because it makes him visible
When he cloaks
At this point you should put "team fortress 2 reviewer" in the intro
G.Mann doesn't have any dialogue so winglet decided to get one of his friends to voice G.Mann
Oh and there is a some deleted scenes from that SFM, they are deleted because it was very extreme to yt
He called him a jar man because one of his weapons is a glass bottle of his own urine
26:54 the Robo engineer's eyes are the cameras
How is he seeing the red spy and such when the robot engineer is dead then?
G. Mann - Grey man, He wants Mann co.
Australium- It's used for weapons ingame and usually a lore device for non-playable characters such as the Mann brothers and the administrator
Jar man - Sniper keeps jars of his own piss and calls it jarate, ingame he can throw it onto other people and it does mini crits
Drunk robot - Yes. Yes he did.
robots are part of MVM mann vs machine a gamemode where you fight against robots and defend the base and prevent them to explode it and australium is gold there is australium weapons they cost alot
The pyro with the silenced pistol might've been a golden eye reference with the way he popped from behind the wall
He said "Jar Man" as Sniper is known for pissing in jars
31:16 You're forgetting that buckshot pellets don't disperse that quickly and the robot's head isn't exactly very heavily armoured either
If I had known that you were serious about Half Life, I would've recommended this sooner:
"Half Life VR but the AI is self aware"
A drunk robot would be more like putting a medium strength magnet against it
Request: please react to TF2 "the fight for sawmill"
The actions are so amazing!!
Not yet. First the heavy
@@finchat2382 Specifically, Meet The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer
@@zexalcommander7036 yes
The funny thing about the heavy surviving and remembering soldier is that this part happens not long after live and let spy, meaning he let soldier go and trained for probably an hour at best.
Also if anyone could note the reference at 21:00 I'd appreciate it.
Hey you should check out the animation series “once upon a 2fort/echos of the past” it’s really well written and I think it’d be really interesting to see your perspective on it because it covers some more mature topics about war etc.
Loved this! And well, I just found your channel and your reaction about the Meet The Team... and hey, if you want to see a good story about the Soldier and even got a little offended (I did too, and always felt they left his personality unexplored in most animations, in comics we see he can be a very complex and compassionate man), I suggest you to see "Zero To Hero", an animation about what we call the "Jump Academy": One of the most important skills of all Soldier's and Demo's is to fly using their weapons' power. This is also very hard to master, so, when a player mastered it, he/she used to take some time to help and teach another player who hadn't. It was a really cool and considerate thing to do, and it's very part of what Soldiers (both the character and the real ones) would be prone to do. Hope you like it!
I just wanna say i absolutely love you're videos, i started watching back when i was also a newbie to tf2
I made sure to double check. There are 3 Americans among them.
Scout from Boston, Engineer from Texas, and Soldier from "America's heartland".
(I also saw his military history here. Rejected from all branches but arranged his own transport to poland so he could join WW2. His "campaign" ended in 1949 when he was informed that the war ended 4 years earlier)
The rest of them is
Demoman from Ullapool, Scotland
Heavy from the Soviet Union
Sniper from... Born in New Zealand, but was shipped to Australia a few days later.
Spy from France... Somewhere. (I'm sure he will keep it to himself)
Medic is assumed to be German. But the place I looked didn't mention this.
Pyro is assumed to be from Earth.
Edit: (Just in case, as a sidenote. There is a gamemode in TF2 called Man vs Machine. The robots were created for this gamemode. It's a survival type game, where you are fighting hordes of them. Trying to keep them from bringing a bomb into your base. Although, in Germany there are stricter laws on violence in video games, so any gibs or blood in the game has been replaced with springs and cogs. This might be related. If not, just more information I suppose.)
I just saw your Tf2 video reactions it's good to see people getting in the Tf2 community :)
26:00
Ok, so, there's actually a mode in the game called MvM where you and 5 other players fight hordes of robots. You can buy upgrades and stuff. It's pretty fun.
Part of the joke with the montage is that it happened literally less than a day before this happens.
And yes the Demoman has a selection of various medieval items to use as melee weapons, including a scimitar, two different claymores, two axes (though one of them is just a cosmetic swap of one of the claymores) a golf club (also a cosmetic swap of the same sword), a stick grenade, and a bottle of rum.
And that’s not including some of the multi-class cosmetic weapons like a ham hock, a skull on a spine, a frying pan or a railroad crossing sign.
20:34 Singham reference. Bollywood#1
“Jar man” is a nickname for sniper because… he fills jars with his pee and then throws them at people causing mass suffering which lets him snipe them easier as they are screaming and probably throwing up at the same time.
Hats? I heard hats. I like hats! Everyone in tf2 like hats! Entire tf2 is war-based hat simulator.
I never expected someone to notice that Sniper has a Garand thumb. Hats off to you!
