Line 69:
** (to Engieneers): '''I broke yer toys, Sorry!''' or '''Tá do mháthair an capall Meiriceánach fiáin!''' (meaning: Your mother is a wild american horse!)
 
=== A [[FearEverything's MySquishier Squidwith Cephalopods|squidSquid]] ===

Line 476 ⟶ 478:
{{quote|'''Zepheniah Mann's will:''' To my layabout, brain defective sons, Blutarch and Redmond, I leave the greatest curse of all--partnership. ''What land I have purchased in this new world is to be split evenly between you both.'' You have wasted your lives bickering over ''nothing'', and so I leave you dimwits something of consequence over which to feud. }}
Later in the comic, Blutarch says this to the BLU Engineer ( {{spoiler|Dell Conagher}}):
{{quote|'''Blutarch Mann:''' Every day I'm dead a little longer, Mister {{spoiler|Conagher}}. I have ''seen'' the other side. [[The Nothing After Death|There is nothing there.]] '''''[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|FIX. THIS. MACHINE.]]'''''}}
If Zepheniah Mann managed to will himself as an immortal ghost to haunt those who desecrate his grave, what if he ''also'' managed to will Blutarch and Redmond a curse that, when both of them die, they will be sent to [[The Nothing After Death]]? They "wasted their lives fighting over ''[[Ironic Echo|nothing]],'' so the only ''something'' they have, in this life or the next, is what Zepheniah Mann has willed to them ...
* Consider this... what if Zepheniah ''didn't'' purchase any land in America? Or his use of "new world" was a self-aware reference to a different sort of [[Ironic Hell|real estate]]?
Line 672 ⟶ 674:
== The Spy is.... ==
* ''...“A [[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent]] …”'' [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Spy2.jpg In his old trading card bio], it says that the Spy “knows the byzantine details of who really runs things.” This may still hold true. He could be working as a double-agent for both RED and BLU while reporting to the Administrator… (he may have been the man who delivered her message to the soldier) but none of those could be where his true allegiance lies… so, just who is the Spy?
* ''A descendant of Silas Mann?'' [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/family_portrait/ A descendant of Silas Mann?]''
* ''A descendant of the unseen man?''
* ''The head of SpyTech Industries?''
Line 722 ⟶ 724:
** Building off of that, he could have ''wanted'' to join the Nazis, but realized that their idea of a "master race" was stupid. His backstory in Meet the Medic will end on the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] note of the lesson that he learned in his experiences: ''[[An Aesop|No-one deserves to be dissected for their religion, race, or ethnicity. People may be different on the outside, but they're all the same on the inside.]] [[Broken Aesop|Believe me, I've looked.]]''
*** ''Alternately, Meet the Medic will feature the Medic playing a Violin while flashing to various things the medic has done.'' Bonus points for having the medic playing the Team Fortress 2 theme with himself making a commentary on his job.
* ...A former colleague or student of [[Those Wacky Nazis|Dr. Richtofen]] from [[Nazi Zombies]]. The Medic was secretly sent to work with Element 115 with him, but after Richtofen's disappearance (In other words, getting stuck fighting zombies with the very people he experimented on in various locations and scenarios) and the death of Dr. Maxis, the Medic stole their research on the element, worked out the problem of creating aZombieApocalypsea [[Zombie Apocalypse]], and used it to create his own Medigun technology. Given that Element 115 seemed to have healing or regeneration properties, it's plausible, and it can explain why all the other classes are so psychopathic- The Medic's continued use of the Medigun on them alters their sanity just like it did to Tank, Nikolai, and Takeo.
** Unfortunately, as a side effect of working with him for some time, along with the possibility of being exposed to Element 115, Richtofen's own erotic (and insane) behavior completely broke the Medic's mental well-being, and turned him into the [[Mad Doctor]] we see now. They both obsess in causing pain, dislike their allies, and they're both more than capable of combat. Funny how they both ended up fighting alongside a Russian and a psychotic American soldier. Though.. how the world managed to quickly recover from the zombie infestation as though nothing happened is anyone's guess.
* Never joined the nazis, nor was he ever sent to the prison camps. Despite being a jewish doctor, most of the people in his village knew his as "that crazy bird man". He made sure the people of his village knew about his experiments with non-bird animals so they would be frightened away. He also trained his birds to attack villagers he didn't like, and bring him their organs for further experimentation. He did run a small clinic, but the people would only go to him as a last resort due to his unorthodox methods and the fact he let the birds in the operating room. When WWII rolled around, Medic was the only jew left in town. Some Nazis came to his house and demanded that he care of an injured comrade and they wouldn't send him to the camps. Not trusting them, he packed up all his birds and tools, stole the patient's skeleton as a "trophy" and got the hell out of dodge.
Line 780 ⟶ 782:
* ''[[Hellsing|a ghoul]] created by the Announcer.'' Ghouls can't speak and have limited intelligence, but can operate weapons. The Announcer never goes outside (notice how many of the stages are set during the day?) The rubber mask is so the Pyro's teammates don't notice that he's an undead monstrosity and stop healing him. The Announcer turns all of the casualties she can into more Pyros and eventually will be able to attack Redmond and Blutarch, who have been turning the others into freaks with a taste for bloodshed.
** Well how many does she need? Everyone's died at least a million times already!
* ''A soul bound to a suit, a la [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''
** Then how does one explain the suit and mask hanging in the locker room?
*** Backups.
Line 842 ⟶ 844:
* ''Jessie and James of Team Rocket.'' They botched a mission even worse than usual, and Meowth was killed as a result. Neither could take the loss of their friend and they both snapped, Jessie moreso than James (meaning, James became a sociopath, and Jessie went ''absolutely batshit insane''.) Burning everything in sight is their way of coping with their failure and loss. W + M1 Pyros are Jessie, and more savvy Pyros are James. They also take turns on the battlefield; that's why the Pyro is referred to as "he" and "she".
* The engineer's daughter. It would explain why the two work so well together, and why Engie was reading Pyro a story about Australian Christmas in the Christmas 2011 comic.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi8iI-zwsDQ Engineer's retarded brother.]{{dead link}} The fact that the head is so tiny is more than indicative of a serious mental disorder. Though he has the body of a man, he has the mind of a child, which explains his affinity for silly hats and why his battle cry seems to be "Hello!!!". When Engie was recruited, He begged them to hire his brother too. Fortunately, "Dolt" really enjoyed setting things on fire. So Dell built him some equipment and set him "Out to play".
* The Pyro is covered in severe burns, perhaps [[It Amused Me|cheerfully self-inflicted]]. If they destroyed his nerve endings this may overlap with the above 'Pyro feels less/no pain' theory above.
* Related to [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Freddy Krueger]]. He wears the suit to avoid being set on fire like Freddy, and if Scout is any indication he also likes killing teenagers.
Line 849 ⟶ 851:
* Someone who hates sandviches [[Reality Subtext|for no reason]].
* Pyro is [[The Chessmaster|actually behind everything]], and [[Obfuscating Stupidity|pretends to be a ditz]] so [[Manipulative Bastard|no one suspects him.]]
* The Pyro's full name is 'The Pyrotechnician''. He doesn't use it because [[The Unintelligible|he can't pronounce it.]]
* Pyro has a supreme ego complex. Note- he's not 'The Pyrotechnician'. He's just The Pyro. [[I Am the Noun|He is fire itself.]]
* [[Watchmen (comics)|Rorschach]], who is masked and once used [[Improvised Weapon|a flamethrower]]. Dr. Manhattan teleported him to this universe at the end of ''Watchmen'', (feeling this time period would be most familiar to him), and he is acting far more feminine than is usual to compensate for his previous misogyny.
Line 868 ⟶ 870:
It will be [[Tomboyish Name|unisex]] or [[Line-of-Sight Name|obviously fake]], because Valve are trolls and want to keep us guessing.
 
== The Sun in a [[A Form You Are Comfortable With|A Form You're Comfortable With.]] == The Sun needed a host body to keep certain people heated. However, it had no idea about humanity and that explains all the weird actions. It wears a mask and thick body suit to protect those around it but that doesn't stop it from using other flame related abilities to defeat RED or BLU.

== The Pyro is a ''literal'' '[[Frankenstein's Monster|Frankenstein of a Man]]'. ==
Line 876 ⟶ 880:
Using the third life extending device. He uses a flamethrower to protect his grandson from spies, and puts on a flamboyant persona so Dell won't suspect who he is.
 
== [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Discord.]] ==
== [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Discord.]] == He escaped a second time, but [[Genre Savvy|knew the mane 6 would imprison him again]] if he spread chaos in Equestria. He crossed dimensions to our world and [[The Chessmaster|manipulated '''everything''',]] including the formation of RED and BLU. He now roams the battlefields he has brought into being, incinerating all in his path and reveling in the glorious, beautiful chaos he's creating.

* Or Pyro is Pinkie Pie off her meds.
* Alternately, a Discord-assisted [http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/951e997bf000fba1c331a8b434836108/45006%20-%20Hasbro%20firecracker_burst%20recolor%20toy.jpg Firecracker Burst]{{Dead link}}. Or Derpy!
Line 899 ⟶ 905:
* It will be another interview film. But Pyro being [[The Unintelligible|Pyro]], it will [[Even the Subtitler Is Stumped|fail hilariously.]]
* Pyro will find Spy via [[Spotting the Thread|awesome detective skills]], a cutscene version of spy-checking. BLU Spy ''is'' capable of being [[Boom! Headshot!|harmed by his own teammates]] in Meet the Spy, so maybe they’ll want to keep it consistent in-universe.
** Kinda Jossed, when the actual "Meet the Pyro" came out at last.
 
== The Pyro is [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare|Makarov]]in disguise. ==
Line 1,040 ⟶ 1,047:
* The Pyro: the guy (or gal) who never talks and uses the weird weapons, but is somehow incredibly dangerous. An enigma: no one knows anything about him, but everyone runs in terror (or runs for [[Hit Points|health packs or the medic]]) when he comes through.
* The Demoman: the grenade spammer, who still uses the same tactics that dominated [[Team Fortress Classic|the previous game]]. Also the guy that prefers [[Guns Are Worthless|blades to guns]].
* The Heavy: [[Mighty Glacier|the guy]] who gets the [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]] he can find and then mows everyone down with it. The guy who has little care for tactics beyond "Shoot It Until It Dies."
* The Engineer: representative of the [[Gadgeteer Genius|mod community]]. [[The Engineer|Builds things]] that augment the game and alter the course of battle.
* The Medic: [[The Medic|the most straightforward example]]: the player who does everything he can to be a team player and help other players survive. The guy who actually cares about winning.
Line 1,078 ⟶ 1,085:
 
== The game takes place in the same universe as [[X-Men]] ==
* All the classes are mutants, as they can all do extraordinary things (see above ''Incredibles'' guess) This would also explain the [[Name's the Same|two Pyros.]] The time periods would fit as well, if we look at the earliest publication dates of the [[X-Men]]- possibly Mutants are just beginning to emerge from the woodwork.
 
== [[Global Agenda]] takes place in the [[Team Fortress 2]] universe. ==
Line 1,129 ⟶ 1,136:
* Theoretically, it could also be like the tranquility lane simulation, reset every time somebody dies/every match.
 
== All of the battles are actually a televised sport, like [[Unreal Tournament]]. ==
It’s a very, VERY sick wargame. The family fued backstory is true, but some descendent must've thought to himself, "If this was a result of Zepenniah wanting his sons to fight over something so he could watch, why not have EVERYONE watch it?" It's top secret so no government could come in and arrest the companies. The truth will come out to the classes when they unmask the Pyro and reveal thats it's a four-year-old girl with no idea what death even ''is'' yet. Both teams will team up and capture the Announcer and Saxton Hale, bring them to the FBI (or something else) and have them arrested.
* Confirmed to an extent; when Doublecross was released it was mentioned the people who live around the Badlands where the teams fight sometimes watch them and aren't fooled at all.
Line 1,186 ⟶ 1,193:
 
== Medieval mode takes place in... ==
Soldier didn't just insult a magician, he insulted the one known as [[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero|"Zero"]].
** Thanks for the idea... To the Fanfic-Mobile!
 
Line 1,301 ⟶ 1,308:
 
== Assorted Tinfoil Hat Ramblings ==
== On the respawning system... ==
== On the respawning system... ==Instead of all the cloning B.S. and such, 'respawning' in [[Team Fortress 2|TF2]] means you are just patched up by an off-field medic, explaining the 20-second wait. switching classes means that you call in the nearest-by heavy, medic, pyro or what have you, and it still takes 20 seconds. I mean, this is a game where ghostbuster-styled guns can close up any wound, you can turn invincible for 8 seconds, and fight off floating eyeballs with a [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser gun]].
 
== [[Half Life|Gordon Freeman]] exists in the TF2 universe... ==
Line 1,326 ⟶ 1,334:
Inspired by [http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/686/dark-horse-vs-dr-mcninja-vs-saxton-hale these] [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=6722 links]. It certainly ''would'' explain the [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] being gradually added to the gameplay.
 
== [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]] is responsible for the [[AnachromismAnachronism Stew]] in TF2. ==
[[Poker Night At the Inventory]] features a cameo by Trixie Trotter from Telltale's BTTF game, thus confirming that (at least in the Inventory continuity) it's in the same universe as TF2. Doc Brown became friends with Engineer and Medic, and brought them back trinkets they'd possibly find useful, like iPods.
 
Line 1,419 ⟶ 1,427:
They both contain a mostly one gender cast of questionable sanity, have more stuff flying around than world war 2 and breeding pools for countless meme's.
