-- EDIT: I uploaded those 4-armed robot vehicles to SFM workshop if anyone is interested in using them in their own productions - link here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136… I would appreciate if you would somehow credit me if you use them :) --

I decided to reupload my little movie since in the rush to meet the deadline for the Saxxy awards (and being the idiot that I am) I have encoded it incorrectly resulting in the picture being too damn dark. So here is what I hope is a correct version in 1080p, so you can see all the ugly imperfections on the titles.

I can't really remove the previous version since it's already in the saxxy contest, and I hope that I'm not breaking any rules (and if I am please at least give me a chance to delete this video), but I really wanted for you guys to see it as it was intended, and not being able to make out some details just drops the quality too much for me to ignore. So sorry for the screw up. Sometimes you need to learn how to encode the hard way.

    Hard to believe this is 8 years old and still a masterpiece

    Classification of the machines for no reason! Electric Boogaloo: The original suit designed by BLU Team, the Electric Boogaloo is a 13-foot tall heavily armed mobile weapons platform. Previously, the mech required its parts to be kept in several different containment units, but upgrades have enabled it to be kept in only one. Compared to other suits, the Electric Boogaloo is far slower and clunkier, but it's gatling gun attachment, shoulder-mounted automatic missile launchers and machine guns and extra-large tire for off-road travel easily compensate for that. Charleston: A mass produced model used by multiple different members of BLU Team, but especially favored by Soldiers and Demomen. The Charleston sacrifices the EB's bulk and opposable claw-like apparatus in exchange for extra speed and four rapid-fire machine guns in place of the aforementioned apparatuses. Tango: A smaller suit in comparison to most others, but still effective nonetheless. The Tango has remarkable strength for its' size, able to go mano a mano to the original EB, and utilizes a pair of shoulder mounted gatling guns in tandem with it's physical prowess for devastating combos. But what makes the Tango interesting (and a personal favorite for Scouts) is that it can transform into a flying vehicle with the push of a button, making it the perfect device for both surveillance and combat alike. Pirouette: A completely different concept than everything prior, the Pirouette is a neurologically-linked personal battle-suit as opposed to a piloted machine. Favored by Heavies for letting them stay on the front lines, the Pirouette is equipped with dual rockets for high-speed flight, triple-reinforced armor, an attachment on the arm that lets the wearer fire telekinetic blasts and is able to compact into a single containment unit at the users' mental command. Foxtrot: While holding true to three of the four listed machines, the Foxtrot has a notable difference in that no pilot is required. Rather, it's operated by an artificial intelligence that can take nearby machines and add them to itself. The ability appears to work only on broken devices, but as the Foxtrot is still in development, details are still uncertain.

    This show must go on, along with the MvM one, too. Both are equally awesome when you consider the existance of those custom mech models.

    Making the robots in this sfm must took over 3 months (all robots). Just making a 5 second sfm video and editing it is like 2 hours ( I think). This is really smooth also. We've been waiting for over a year for part 3... Part 3 WILL I KNOW WILL BE SO BADASS

    Well I hope to have something to show for the next saxxy awards. Which are in a month.
  • @MichaelDonvius
    Absolutely - especially when just the creation process brings me enjoyment. And when others find the finished "product" entertaining - even if it would be ten people, never mind hundred thousand - well that's just cherry on top.

    You, sir, are a very talented SFM artist, and i need to see more of this.
