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
@@sanslol1234 I mean tf2 was part of my childhood wether I knew the original source or not. It would be nice for saxxy awards to effect the game in small tiny details
"Everyone will think they was a sacrifice. The ones you fight for will tell you there is no choice but to kill and be killed. There is. Its called empathy. Toleration. Peace. *Free will.* Just like the robot Sniper." -idk
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
Dear everyone: Yes, the bomb does in fact change color towards the end of the video. But, after 78 hours of rendering, there was nothing that could be done about it. It's an unfortunate oversight, but I hope everyone can look past that little bug. Thanks! (Just pretend the bomb was a spy or something)
MetalMouth54321 In actuality, the knockback would send the heavy flying, so it makes sense for the soldier to not expect such a quick reaction from an unarmed robot.
“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)
I know i am late but this Sfm was actually inspired by Star wars there was a battle droid nearly broken due to it's head being half blown up it then ran away from the fight and the giant robot came and command it to return to the battlefield the droid then rejects and tried to ran away but reaches to the end of a cliff and you know what happens
4:00 imagine bringing your entire team over and forget about the large army advancing through your lines just because a robot heavy beat up your soldier
Actually the soldier's smile at 3:41 means kind of a lot if you think about it. He realises the robots are more human than he thought.... And for a moment he snaps out of his war mood, feeling happiness and amazement, but really quickly he extinguishes those feelings(he is a soldier, no matter what happens he cant let his guard down). Its a war going on, and he has to complete his orders. Very, very nice.
***** Are you serious? Did you check yourself before commenting this bs? Last year, Lil' Guardian Pyro won and before that, Story of a Sentry won. Neither of those are comedy.
This reminds me of a star wars comic where a battle droid get shot in the head and got thoughts and ran fro mthe war then a b1 battle droid went to grab him to put him back in his place but both fell off a cliff and the b2 droid got his thoughts after the fall and did not want to die then he did. The other droid then died due to power but then got plugged in again later to be a farming droid it's highly reminds me of that robots and everything
It's so nice to see a Team fortress drama entry that isn't just "Somebody died, and somebody else is pretty upset about it." Well, it wasn't for the most part. Either way, good job not being like every other TF2 Drama video.
Hey, I'd just like to take a moment and thank everyone for their encouraging comments. This is the first time I've posted anything I've made, and I can't tell you how much its positive reception means to me. Thank you all! And happy voting on Wednesday!
Man, you somehow managed to find a weak spot in me. There's just this something in my brain that just absolutely loves the idea of sentient robots. It can't be explained... But you managed to do so just fine.. I salute you, good sir.
Ok, from now on, there should be an easter egg of a one-eyed heavy bot wearing the Bolted Bushman in every MvM map overlooking the whole match. Change my mind.
I mean, nobody is used to see robots with feelings. Plus, uh, they're mercenaries. Their only job is to kill or destroy, so i don't know if they would stop to think if they are friendly (because they're 2 out of thousands) and risk their lives.
Unfortunately, this most likely isn't the case for actual MvM, as they don't exactly stop to see if we'll fight back, they just come at us with the intention of killing. Though, if this were the case, I'd probably stop playing MvM
You know what it reminds me of a Star Wars comic come a common grade battle droid stepped on a landline and when he hit his head he got his own free will but when a Super Droid chased after him and he lost his arm shooting at him and after those two fell off a cliff and the superdroid gets the same exact thing it's free will but it died shortly afterwards the common grade battle droid walked over to a hill and watch all his friends get destroyed in the distance and his energy Corp ran out and he died about 10-15 years later and Farmers found him bring him back and he became a worker for Farm on the planet.
This video made me cry. The ending is just a kick to the balls of your heart. It just hurts to imagine how the Sniper felt watching his Heavy friend burn to death, And how the Heavy bot watched Sniper suicide to deploy the bomb. Its a great animation after 6 years. And i enjoy watching it all the time.
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
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
This reminds me of a Star Wars comic I read years ago. A Separatist Battle Droid hit its head and becomes aware, and runs through a forest as it discusses philosophy with a Super Battle Droid sent to retrieve it.
I get that this would be what most people want, the BLU Sniper surviving the explosion and happily living forevermore. But if the BLU Sniper DID survive, then that would ruin the ENTIRE point of his sacrifice. He led RED team to the bomb, KNOWING that he would die in the process, all just to save the Heavy.
@@nathanhays8696 then again it’s the thought that I am not gonna survive but I’ll take them down that counts so if he survives but he thought that he would die that makes it all the more heartwarming
No, there needs to be a fan extension where a BLU Engineer repairs the robo-heavy and turns him into a character of his own, basically a TF2 freak like the Scombine but with a more tragic backstory.
Gray Mann is the stupidest out of all the brothers. "Hmm, I wonder if I should put the bomb on this 60,000 HP giant heavy with headshot resistance and back armor, wielding a minigun - no, massivegun that creates a ring of flames around it and does 500 dps with 100% guaranteed critical chance with knock back, healed by 20 uber medics and 3 giant quick-fix medics, escorted by Sire Nukesalot, Major Crits and an army of crit-boosted soldiers, pyros and engineer bots? Nah, imma just put it on this random back line sniper.
This animation follows the same story from a STAR WARS comic. A B1 Battledroid becomes conscious of what is really happening, and deserts. A Grappledroid then tracks him down for deserting. The B1 tricks the Grappledroid into falling off a cliff, but the Grappledroid grabs the B1 and they fall. It ends with the two talking deeply, only to die. The B1 dies from low battery power.
That's the best thing about tf2 the characters can protay so many emotions without saying anything but more of how they get along with the rest of the chatacter
I do like how it goes from a simple funny kind of animation until the part where everyone arrives in the battle field then the drama starts to get real at the ending where sniper bot deploys the bomb, killing him, the 6 players, and the other bots, but heavy still lives somehow. overall it is a really good SFM from simple to dramatic
This vid actually reminded me of my attempted Saxxy 2013 entry, which I didn't get to complete in time. I thought my scrapped entry was good, but as I watched your entry, I realized it surpassed mine in every single way (if that makes sense). This is truly amazing, especially for a first video, your lighting, pacing and cinematography were incredible. I am subscribing so very, very hard, and if this doesn't win Best Drama I'm going to go sit in a corner with a bottle of whiskey while chewing melancholically on my hat or something. Fantastic job, and keep up the great work!
I agree that the technical aspects were beautifully executed. I originally focused on issues of narrative, but these too must be commended. On second viewing, they particularly shone. Props must be given to the composer as well; it complements/supplements the dialogueless video without ever "speaking over" it, as it were, the way some soundtracks do.
Mate...in all my life of TF2 I've never seen anything as sad and heartbreaking then a defect wanting nothing but freedom from the cursed wars that he had to take responsibility for and for that I have to say rest in piece friendly defect. P.S. Nice work Death ray this is your best work:D
I have to say by far, this is the best video for Saxxy 2014 iv'e seen so far. I don't know anything about you bro, but let me say that you are amazing. This is a great combination of idea/plot with work/technique/articulation. I'm really impressed by this and i think it might have even stood a chance against last years drama films.
Somebody here once asked "Why did the Red team waste so much time going out of their way just to kill 2 robots? What about the whole rest of the wave?" I didn't know either, but then I realized: A wave doesn't finish until all the non-support robots are dead (support bot does not equal support class). Sniper bots are usually support, but Heavy bots typically are not. We don't know how much time passed in between the time they both fell off the cliff and when they both came back on. What if the Red team destroyed every other part of the wave, but saw that 2 remaining robots somewhere on the map kept the wave from officially ending? Maybe they split up and searched for the last two robots, thinking that they didn't need to be together to fight them since it's only 2 bots. Then, their Soldier found them when the robot Heavy was trying to fix the robot sniper, and when he fired the rocket, his team came running, hoping that it meant he found them, then so on and so forth.
holeeeeee shit. The emotional impact of the film is excaerbated by astoundingly well paired music. If I had been playing TF2 in 2014 and this hadn't won the saxxy, I would have been really pissed off. This film is just..... damn.
May I just say, I love videos that are robot themed, because then if there realy isnt any speaking, emotion is portrayed through action, and expression, and this video nails that perfectly! Amazing entry, and I'm glad it won best drama~! ^u^
Idiot CandyCorn check out "Zero to Hero", a SFM animation about rocket jumping. It does this just well with next to no speaking, using regular tf2 characters (not the robots).
Dude, this is awesome. While I don't want to sound too dismissive of all previous community attempts at creating drama within the TF2 universe, I think this entry is the first one that gets it right. I truly hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
Kevin Tran The system is most likely automated, since the Robo-Sniper was in the same column as the Robo-Scout when it was killed, the bomb-placing arm probably chose the next over
Mr.Tinkels everytime i dont want to kill the robots and lose.... the team is really really really (reapeat over 9000 times) mad at me and even votekick
This is absolutely incredible for a first video, especially if you don't have any prior experience or training in animating. Everything from the script, plot development, cinematography, lighting, music choices and atmosphere felt well-planned and perfectly complete. Also using a lightless map for your first video was quite the challenge, too. I wish you good luck for the Saxxies, this work is definitely deserving of a price!

YOU ARE DRAMA GOD
I think its a deviant
hey deathray its no bbq allowed from that friendly party
was fun playin with ya man
Hey good ta see ya! Good luck out there ma man!
I love the sniper bots reaction to having a bomb on its back. it just turns its head and is like "Oh. ok..."
"Guess im doing this now"
"time to die"
"The fuck was that?"
*turns head*
"Oh"
"guess I'll die"
Also how his hat realistically rests on the bomb when he moves his head down while inspecting it
This SFM tells us that somewhere there’s a free-thinking robot heavy wearing robot sniper’s hat,
That should be a character
Thanks my chest hurts now :)
True
Why are you like this
@@chandranair9448 Yes, with battle damage, maybe being friendly and only attacking if provoked.

sniper really just gave the
“You serious?” face to a nuke.
True
When you realise that sniper was just born and doesnt understands what it is until he finally realised at the end how to use that.
No right why why is there a new guy my back can somebody take this nuke off my back
He legit turned to see what was on his back, took a moment to process what is was, and then just went ._.

Gray mann:lets give a support class the bomb,nothing can go wrong:)
Wasn't his fault. The defective sniper shot the scout in front of it by mistake, so the automated system selected it instead.

The B1 tricks the Grappledroid into falling off a cliff, but the Grappledroid grabs the B1 and they fall. It ends with the two talking deeply, only to die. The B1 dies from low battery power.
yeah, I thought so to when the heavy had ripped off the arm and then got sentient.
You reckon it's coincidence?
“Pathways,” you mean?
BUUUT after Someone fount B1 and repaired him (i think some farmer guy but i forgot)
Yeah I remember reading it
0:00 when ur the only one who woke up at the sleep over
I still can't get over their wonderful use of the 106 theme.
It isn't even his theme.
It is SCP-106's theme, but the scp one is partially remastered.
That's the best thing about tf2 the characters can protay so many emotions without saying anything but more of how they get along with the rest of the chatacter
Me before watching this video: isn't not dramatic
Me after watching this video: *ifinite crying drama noises*
I do like how it goes from a simple funny kind of animation until the part where everyone arrives in the battle field then the drama starts to get real at the ending where sniper bot deploys the bomb, killing him, the 6 players, and the other bots, but heavy still lives somehow. overall it is a really good SFM from simple to dramatic
there is more talent and emotion in this video then in Hollywood
Well, I mean you right because there is emoji movie
Crys
do not mention that heresy here
i came back to watch this after a few years and the ending still makes me cry
This vid actually reminded me of my attempted Saxxy 2013 entry, which I didn't get to complete in time. I thought my scrapped entry was good, but as I watched your entry, I realized it surpassed mine in every single way (if that makes sense). This is truly amazing, especially for a first video, your lighting, pacing and cinematography were incredible. I am subscribing so very, very hard, and if this doesn't win Best Drama I'm going to go sit in a corner with a bottle of whiskey while chewing melancholically on my hat or something. Fantastic job, and keep up the great work!
I agree that the technical aspects were beautifully executed. I originally focused on issues of narrative, but these too must be commended. On second viewing, they particularly shone. Props must be given to the composer as well; it complements/supplements the dialogueless video without ever "speaking over" it, as it were, the way some soundtracks do.
You can't subscribe THAT hard.
Future spoiler: It did :D
We went from the initial sense of not fitting in, to war dread, to betrayal, to camaraderie, and ended in loss and it’s all so smooth and effective.
Mate...in all my life of TF2 I've never seen anything as sad and heartbreaking then a defect wanting nothing but freedom from the cursed wars that he had to take responsibility for and for that I have to say rest in piece friendly defect. P.S. Nice work Death ray this is your best work:D
how to cry from being a kid and watching this video to being an adult and watching this video
Awesome :)
Yay, I ts Delfy! :D
Hi :3
You got here late
JohnnyPoob II well that’s not nice
JohnnyPoob II respect the community
I have to say by far, this is the best video for Saxxy 2014 iv'e seen so far. I don't know anything about you bro, but let me say that you are amazing. This is a great combination of idea/plot with work/technique/articulation. I'm really impressed by this and i think it might have even stood a chance against last years drama films.
Somebody here once asked "Why did the Red team waste so much time going out of their way just to kill 2 robots? What about the whole rest of the wave?"
I didn't know either, but then I realized: A wave doesn't finish until all the non-support robots are dead (support bot does not equal support class). Sniper bots are usually support, but Heavy bots typically are not. We don't know how much time passed in between the time they both fell off the cliff and when they both came back on. What if the Red team destroyed every other part of the wave, but saw that 2 remaining robots somewhere on the map kept the wave from officially ending? Maybe they split up and searched for the last two robots, thinking that they didn't need to be together to fight them since it's only 2 bots. Then, their Soldier found them when the robot Heavy was trying to fix the robot sniper, and when he fired the rocket, his team came running, hoping that it meant he found them, then so on and so forth.
Makes sense.
random guy: but why do you think that?
It's called logic
Josh Riley well,in mvm you have to kill all robots for the next wave,so i think those bots were the last ones.
Did you even click "Read More"? Or did RUclips mess up and not show it?
youtube messed up.
I have to refresh the page every time because of stupid youtube.
"Nooo! I've known him for... 30 Minutes! that's half of my deployment!"
holeeeeee shit. The emotional impact of the film is excaerbated by astoundingly well paired music. If I had been playing TF2 in 2014 and this hadn't won the saxxy, I would have been really pissed off. This film is just..... damn.
14 year old girls: Billie Eillish songs are so sad.
Me: no they’re not
14 year old girls: Have you ever felt sadness?
me:
yes
14 year old white girls, just correcting u don’t worry
@@ctzaire does it really matter lol
@@GhostofFarta it doesn’t, but I just wanted to say anyway
@@GhostofFarta lol
I've never thought, I would see anything (THIS) amazing from the MvM plot, but you proved me wrong.
This is a very decent entry!
Until this day I still watch this video because the amount of work put into it amazes me
May I just say, I love videos that are robot themed, because then if there realy isnt any speaking, emotion is portrayed through action, and expression, and this video nails that perfectly! Amazing entry, and I'm glad it won best drama~! ^u^
Idiot CandyCorn check out "Zero to Hero", a SFM animation about rocket jumping. It does this just well with next to no speaking, using regular tf2 characters (not the robots).
Ah yes, the curse of sentience.
Never playing MvM again :'(
Magikz Shadow well both of you are pussyes
and by the way im not fucking english or american
you really are pussies
jakob bučar No one called you english or american
not you i meant the ppl who correct grammar
Don’t cry Lads, He just respawned in the Ship and Goes again
Dude, this is awesome. While I don't want to sound too dismissive of all previous community attempts at creating drama within the TF2 universe, I think this entry is the first one that gets it right. I truly hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
You know that you have crafted a great story when you can evoke emotion without a single word being spoken
Why would they put the bomb into a sniper, A SNIPER!?
Jake and Doge * Why would they place The bomb on a sniper*
Jake and Doge
Plot convenience
DavidTheGamer yea i guess youre right
The scout was suppost to take it but the sniper shot him.
Kevin Tran The system is most likely automated, since the Robo-Sniper was in the same column as the Robo-Scout when it was killed, the bomb-placing arm probably chose the next over
I was just almost going to cry when I watched it first time. But now, it still makes me cry..
Never again will I play MvM.
Tonybiocry! [Unproffesional Gamer!] i saw a sniper and a heavy
Tonybiocry! [Unproffesional Gamer!] robots and then i get sad because i saw the animation and Let them alive
Even if i saw this animation i still want a fuckin aussie XD
Mr.Tinkels everytime i dont want to kill the robots and lose.... the team is really really really (reapeat over 9000 times) mad at me and even votekick
juan francisco robles araiza 2 de la manguera cecilio 3,carlos 6 try MGM boot camp it's free
1:12 the bomb was blue, but 4:12 the bomb was red

DRAMA?!?!?!
COMEDY WTF
Mathew the Bastard you dont have a hearth!
Actually, he has.
Even better than yours.

his grammar is even better than urs
This is absolutely incredible for a first video, especially if you don't have any prior experience or training in animating. Everything from the script, plot development, cinematography, lighting, music choices and atmosphere felt well-planned and perfectly complete. Also using a lightless map for your first video was quite the challenge, too. I wish you good luck for the Saxxies, this work is definitely deserving of a price!
This had me crying all those years back and it still does
This is amazing! I want to cry! Why did people even dislike this?!
Sometimes I ask myself that Same question on many videos
I know right
because the try hard noobs made the sniper bot comid suicide
Cause they kill robots everyday.
I want to cry too
