History FanficRecs / TeamFortress2Machinima

* Synopsis: The 20-minute sequel to ''The Bolted Behemoth'', follow the RED team as they pursue the BLUs and their briefcase... and discover a diabolical plot along the way. Will they have what it takes to survive?

* ''Synopsis'': Possibly inspired by the special Halloween-only taunt that mimics the famous ''[[MichaelJackson Thriller]]'' dance, this is an ''extremely well-animated'' video of all 18 characters (9 from RED, 9 from BLU) dancing to Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Watch it and be amazed!

* ''Synopsis'': Combine the Battle theme of Masked Dedede from [[KirbySuperStar Kirby Super Star Ultra]] with random sounds from just about everything in [=TF=]2, with Touhou-like visuals taken from who knows how many fansites, and you get a long-lasting and unforgettable EarWorm. Of course, this isn't even Wazgul's best example.

* ''Synopsis'': A disturbing animation centered around the Engineer, the Soldier and the TomWaits song of the same name. If the Engineer update teaser vid and comic didn't make you believe that the Engineer is a goddamn creepy dude, [[ParanoiaFuel this]] '''''[[NightmareFuel WILL.]]'''''

* ''Synopsis'': A negotiation for the Intel between the Spy and Engineer goes bad in the OldWest. Train chases and showdowns abound.

'''Conversion from the "Comments" section to the "Reviews" option is underway. If you are adding a machinima, please help us out and use the new template-format on the [[FanficRecommendations Fanfic Recommendations Index Page]].'''

* Seconded by Tropers/BlueHedgehogJunkie. Always good to see more creepy Engineer.

* Tropers/{{Horriblefilm}}: I, mistakenly assuming it hadn't been recommended yet, rushed right over here to suggest it myself only to find it had already been recognized well before. It is honestly among the best Team Fortress 2 machinima made by a fan; endearingly funny, delightfully {{Troperiffic}}, with loads of references to popular video games (especially Creator/{{Nintendo}}) and an actually pretty entertaining story. Mann-ly tears were shed.

** Agreed verily. The interactions between the characters and their style of dance are all unique and very well animated. ~@/{{Quanyails}}

** @/SoWeAteThem Sez: There have been multiple comments on the page stating that it was confused with an official product. That alone is testament. It stays true to [=TF=]2's humor and style, giving a very valid interpretation of the Pyro's character.

* ''Synopsis'': What ''Team Fortress 2'' might look like as a live-action short. Has exceptionally well-done effects and nice music, to boot.
** Also, check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzuJj85C3lw Team Snow Fortress]], by the same creators.

* ''Comments'': A [[HeartwarmingMoments surprisingly touching]] tale, this video shows why the game is called '''''Team''''' Fortress 2 as the classes show how [[TrueCompanions teamwork]] can beat any foe. The video uses voice clips from the game itself as well as VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory, but the editing causes them to mesh surprisingly well together.

* ''Summary'':It's the Heavy's Birthday and he gets a very special gift.
* ''Synopsis'': A hilarious ''GarrysMod'' short that's not only packed with {{Shout Out}}s and {{Internet Meme}}s, but also gives them an original twist and parodies classic cliches of ''[[GarrysMod Gmod]]'' videos.

* ''Comments:'' Short, but still impressive. [=MaxOfS2D=] does an excellent job of making videos with actual depth, rather than taking the easy route of cheap and low-brow humor.
** [=MaxOfS2D=] has additional, very well-made G-Mod (then Source Filmmaker) videos with similar depth and voice acting. Be sure to check those out as well.

** @/PrincessSofiaTheMedic: The ending is [[MadeOfWin MADE OF WIN]].

** Trivialato: The above just about sums that up, actually. Though to get into more detail, it's basically your average match on the Mario Kart server, only with 3 large differences: Everyone is in-character for their classes, friendly fire is enabled somehow, and EVERYONE IS MORE OR LESS A CRAZED SPEED-HACKER. The "plot" comes in after the protagonist (a guitar-playing Engineer with a cowboy hat) jumps through a cluster of sprays into an insane hybrid of My Little Pony and Ed, Edd and Eddy, and opens up a Pandora's Box that sends a red fox-cat thing OC, the Moon from Majora's Mask, and several people from other games into the match, including {{Uncharted}}'s Drake and SplinterCell's Sam Fisher to mess with the players before the moon blows the map up, leaving the protagonist to stop all of this with his skills and ThePowerOfRock. If it sounded good and crazy from this description, it only gets moreso when you watch it yourself.

* ''Comments:'' This movie shows what the Source Filmmaker is capable of. With realistic animation, hilarious moments, and a jaw dropping ending, it is already looking like one of the greatest early SFM shorts so far. I don't much more to say about it, so check it out.
** Agreed. Good animation, nice plot, that touch of ''[=TF=]2'' whimsy, and overall professionalism makes this video very engaging.

* ''Synopsis'': This is what you get when you let the Pyro do a rendition [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie's Smile Song]]. Absolutely hilarious.
** @/{{Tabs}}: 24railwaycuttings does other songs, like "Becoming Feared" ("Becoming Popular" parody), "Find a Gun" ("Find a Pet"), and "Ballad of the Mann Co Mercenaries" (guess). I urge you to check his channel.
** A [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xcw3ZyBeZw music video version here]] by joshscorcher.

* ''Synopsis'': The BLU Engineer has a dastardly new trick up his sleeve, and whatever it is has RED on edge, and [[MiniMecha rightfully so]].
* ''Comments'': A film that combines the setting of Team Fortress 2 with elements of {{Transformers}}, {{Real Robot}}s and a few other inspirations. The creative use of Engineer's buildings is what really sells it.
** Check out its sequel, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGvY6X7QddA Electric Boogaloo]], which was good enough to make it into the finalists for Best Comedy during the 2012 Saxxy Awards. -Tropers/{{Trivialato}}

* ''Comments'': A cleverly designed and beautifully animated rendition of the ultimate Mann Vs. Machine round, if ''Team Fortress 2'' somehow managed to intersect with ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'', and ''ComicBook/IronMan'' at the same time. Made by the same animator as the aforementioned ''Teamformers'', so just like with his previous offering, expect tons of heavily detailed and well-constructed custom props, good use of music to set the tone, smooth animation, and of course, lots of action.

* ''Comments'': The animation is top notch.
** @/{{Quanyails}}: As it should be for an animation portfolio ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf4ba72kFNQ&lc=cuWQEJIm1yXIaZkqcWJeErXgP3AWqP4SS5nd8zzf7P8 he got a contract from Microsoft]])!

* ''Comments'': An awesome love letter to both with great animation and sync with the theme from ''Film/CasinoRoyale''. One wishes it could be the legit opening for [=TF=]2.

* ''Comments'': Awesome action, awesome music by Michael Giacchino, just go watch it.
** @/{{Quanyails}}: The video is excellently choreographed, which makes up for its subpar animation.

* ''Comments'': Being a video that presents (and pokes fun at) the typical experience of playing Mann vs. Machine, it also shows that despite the release of Source Filmmaker, [[GarrysMod GMod]] isn't going to completely die out anytime soon, and that it also has the capability of delivering some quality animation to boot. If you like this video, go ahead and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeAReHuFG4Y check out the other MVM-related video Starmix made, too]].

* ''Comments'': This is a very impressive piece of animation, set cronologically before the offical Mann Vs. Machine trailer and the first instances of the fight. With a surprising {{Tearjerker}} at the end, don't let this one pass you by.

* ''Comments'': Yet again, the fans prove that a game designed to be as comically dark as possible with it's setting can act as a medium for much more serious, perhaps even moving work.

* ''Synopsis'': This short film tells the story of an Engineer and his Sentry. Winner of the 2012 Saxxy Awards for Best Overall
* ''Comments'': The summary above, taken directly from the video's description, doesn't do justice for this lovely, [[TearJerker emotionally-moving]] masterpiece. As a few commenters stated on YouTube, you'll probably never see Sentries the same way again after watching it.

* ''Comments'': This is an amazing collaboration between the three writers.

* ''Comments'': Clearly a lot of work went into this, and the result is glorious. -Tropers/BlueHedgehogJunkie

* ''Comments'': I don't want to ramble about how great this is, but it is. I'm a sucker for superb animation, and all of the sounds from the original song are represented.
* Seconded. The animation is absolutely beautiful, and unlike most music videos, did not just copy from the original. Everything that happens in the video was thought up by the creator and animated.

* ''Comments'': It's got some funny moments, and any [=TF=]2 player can relate to the Spy's plight.

* ''Comments'': Great animation, and is very heartwarmingly funny.
** On top of some fine animation, it takes the story of the Grinch and applies it to the TF2 world in a way that will have you laughing the whole way through, but still gives you some of that warm, fuzzy feeling like the original.

* ''Comments'': Not only are these videos completely hysterical, but each one has genuine advice about how to be a real Team Fortress 2 player. They're all worth a watch if you have a half hour to kill.
** Special mention goes to the video on Ranged Combat, which demonstrates how only the Sniper should fight from afar by having the Scout, Heavy, and Soldier play pretend Snipers and ruin a kill for the actual Sniper, resulting in a hilarious triple DopeSlap.

* ''Comments'': The animation is fantastic, it's very creative with how it shows each part of the song, and it's funny as all hell. Any player who's ever heard "America, Fuck Yeah!" before (and even those who haven't) ''must'' give this a look.

* ''Comments'': Beautifully done, and "Time" really fits this moment. It's also worth checking out the author's other Grump machinimas.

* ''Comments'': The animation and storytelling are superb, especially compared to the creator's first draft of the first part. But most importantly, the powerful emotions are what makes this SFM animation work so well. There is no respawning here and the horrors of war are very real, and the way that the survivors must cope with the deaths of their teammates really brings this to life.

* ''Comments'': Tanks may be an everyday occurrence in Mann Versus Machine, but top-notch animation and facial expressions combined with some ''very'' SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic turns the whole thing UpToEleven in drama and intensity, making this feel like a truly climatic struggle for the fate of Mann Co that will leave you at the edge of your seat, wondering if the heroes will prevail.

* ''Synopsis'': It's the zombie apocalypse, and RED and BLU team up in order to survive.
* ''Comments'': Along with ''Bad Medicine'' and ''Story of a Sentry'', this was one of the finalists of the 20112 Saxxy Awards "Best Drama" category, and with good reason. The looks on each merc's face as he sees both RED and BLU coming to rescue him is full of [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]], and the RED Spy might even bring a few [[TearJerker tears]]. Plus, some nice animation set to very fitting music.
** Now has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnbbYWRQXSw sequel,]] which has won the Saxxy for best drama.

* ''Comments'': From the same person who made ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBamIRB91f8 Rise of the Epic Scout]]'', his animation skills have gotten even better. Aside from doing a very good job of blending the game's own animations with his own work, this video quite possibly has the best high-speed fight scene ever made with Source Filmmaker.

* ''Comments'': Now THIS is a cool use of the Source Filmmaker. It's a [[TeamFortress2 [=TF=]2]] version of [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]] that perfectly captures the look and feel of the show. And the voice clips used fit so well. Highly recommended for any fan of Gurren Lagann.

* ''Comments'': An ongoing series that is sequel to a stand alone vid ''FYI I am a Robot''. Source Filmmaker is used, and the writing is both funny, dramatic, and gripping. Keep tuning in to see where this war leads.

* ''Comments'': A gripping video with a bit of everything, from action to horror. The RED Team's struggle is entertaining to watch, and the ending is hilarious.

* ''comments'': Great use of music to set the moods and the body language is spot on, particularly as there is no dialog at all. Also features a well executed train showdown.

* ''Comments'': It's short, so there isn't really much possible to say without ruining the video. [[spoiler:Be prepared, though, for some ''serious'' MoodWhiplash.]]

* ''Synopsis:'' Employs amateur but fairly decent voice actors to give the characters new lines and has some pretty amusing writing as well to its credit--keep an eye out for the Soldier to [[SpotlightStealingSquad steal every scene he's in]], including the quickest [[DrivenToSuicide Driven to]] SuicideAsComedy ever. It also has plenty of funny sight gags as well.

* ''Synobsis'': Not really a video, but... so beautiful.
** Tropers/{{Maniette}}: Agreed. Really well put together, and funny as heck.
** Tropers/{{Tabs}}: An interesting detail: If you listen to both songs at the same time, the Spy's "This is a disaster!" syncs with Beyoncé's.

* ''Comments'': Similar to the above recommendation. Not really a video, but still glorious.

* Tropers/{{Tabs}}: Agreed. And dubbing the music over the original song's video makes it even more entertaining.
* Seconded by Tropers/BlueHedgehogJunkie. This is one of the funniest [=TF=]2 mashups.

* ''Comments'': Another song parody. Very, very amusing.

* ''CSynopsis'': Arguably the best ''[=TF=]2'' voice-music edit, "Mmph the Way You Mmph" imitates "Love the Way You Lie", except with the Scout and Pyro filling the lines. The lyrics are exceptionally well-mixed, with proper timing, flow, and rhyme. This goes the same for mymapagainstyourcash's other mixes.

* Seconded by Tropers/BlueHedgehogJunkie. The mixing is perfect, and the lyrics somehow make the characters sound silly and threatening at the same time.

* ''Comments'': I have nothing else to say about this except that ''it is goddamn hilarious and you will'' '''LAUGH''' until your '''INTESTINES AND HEAD''' ''explode!'' It is also awesome.
[=[[reviews:TF2ComicDubs]]=]

* ''Comments'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. But damn, who woulda thought that turning [=TF=]2 serious could still be awesome?

* ''Synopsis:'' This movie shows what the Source Filmmaker is capable of. With realistic animation, hilarious moments, and a jaw dropping ending, it is already looking like one of the greatest early SFM shorts so far. I don't much more to say about it, so check it out.

It also has plenty of funny sight gags as well.

* ''Comments'': A vocal mashup of Deadmau5's and Rob Swire's Ghosts n' Stuff that adds what it so desperately needed: More Engie. Better than the original.

* ''Comments'': Not really a video, but... so beautiful.

* ''Comments'': A parody of the Taio Cruz song "Break Your Heart". Gloriously funny and amazingly well mixed.

* ''Comments'': A playlist of very well-mixed mashups, most involving the Heavy voicing Pinkie Pie's songs. The best-known of these is the Cupcakes song… only involving Sandviches ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYAGB11YrSs eventually used in Zeurel's excellent animation]]). Definitely recommended for brony [=TF=]2 fans.

* ''Comments'': Arguably the best ''[=TF=]2'' voice-music edit, "Mmph the Way You Mmph" imitates "Love the Way You Lie", except with the Scout and Pyro filling the lines. The lyrics are exceptionally well-mixed, with proper timing, flow, and rhyme. This goes the same for mymapagainstyourcash's other mixes.

Of course, this isn't even Wazgul's best example.

* ''Comments'': A "remix of a remix" for a popular song from the VideoGame/{{Touhou}} compilation, with excellent timing, ideas, lines, and an ''impressive'' vocal solo from Pyro voice clips. Just simply amazing.

* ''Comments'': The BigLippedAlligatorMoment from an old Disney film Disney/TheAristocats now with ''Team Fortress 2'' voices. Starring the Medic as Edgar the butler, the Sniper and Scout as the farm dogs Napoleon and Lafayette, and [[spoiler:the Heavy as Edgar's motorcycle]]. Excellent slapstick scene.

* ''Comments'': The first of four (so far) videos sentance mixing the [=TF=]2 characters with those from ''Disney/TheLionKing''. Starring the Scout as Simba, the Heavy as Mufasa, the Medic as Zazu, [[spoiler:the Admin]] as Nala, [[spoiler:the Spy]] as Scar, the Demoman, Sniper, and Pyro as Senzi, Banzai, and Ed, and the Soldier and Engineer as Timon and Pumbaa.

* ''Comments'': A [[EarWorm absurdly catchy]] [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 [=TF=]2]] Trance/Techno remix featuring Medic ? '''That's ''freaking'' awesome!''

* Synopsis: Ben Paddock makes one-man dubs of the [=TF=]2 comics, doing all the voices! Now includes Kat Scratch as Miss Pauling!
* Comments: I have nothing else to say about this except that ''it is goddamn hilarious and you will'' '''LAUGH''' until your '''INTESTINES AND HEAD''' ''explode!'' It is also awesome.

* Explaining ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' classes [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic to kindergardeners]], [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench as narrated by ze Spy]].
* ''Synopsis'': This video....wow. Just wow. It's less than two minutes long, but it has more {{HSQ}} than you can believe. Bricks will be shat.
** Tropers/PurplePeopleEater: Seconding, that was awesome. Also, I'm pretty sure the video is by [[http://www.youtube.com/user/MrArrowFish this guy]].
** @/SgtFrog1: Thirding. When you read "narrated by ze Spy", you might think "Oh, the creator just edited together lines from Team Fortress 2. Nothing special.". You might think that, but you'd be wrong. The narrator (if he isn't Dennis Bateman, the Spy's voice actor) literally narrates with his impressive imitation of the Spy's voice.
* For those of you who aren't watchers of Homestar Runner, here's the original video: [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail84.html Everyone is Different]].

** Seconded by Tropers/DougSMachina. This is so well done.
** Also Seconded by Tropers/JiaMekare. Somehow, True One More User got more emotional, nuanced facial expressions out of the [=TF=]2 models than were given by the actual actors. This is astounding.
** Tropers/{{Crowley}}: When watching this, the two prevailing thoughts in my head were "ALL THIS FOR A TURRET JOKE?" and "WHY IS IT SO GOOD?"

* Commments: [[FoeYay Spy/Pyro]] [[XMeetsY meets]] WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes meets... you'll see. Words are not sufficient to describe how awesome, heartwarming, and flat-out hilarious it is.
** Seconded, then seconded again. Also it manages to stuff in a spectacular amount of references to other games.
** Also recommended by the official ''[=TF=]2'' blog: "We've decided this is final proof that [=TF=]2 fans are smarter, more creative, and much better looking than fans of all other video games."
** The sheer number of in-jokes, fluid animation, and OH GOD THE ENDING. I seriously don't know if Kepple is ever going to top this.
** So very, very awesome indeed.

* ''Comments'': A master of the SFM, kungfubellydancer has taken the Source engine out of the UncannyValley and into their gallery of stunning TF2 animations.

* ''Comments'': The RED Heavy embarks on an epic journey to stop the [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 Cheeseburger]] [[MemeticMutation Apocalypse]] and save the world.

* ''Comments'': A story that shows the Pyro's PsychopathicManchild side, while managing to make you feel sorry for him. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome With awesome music to boot]].

* ''Comments'': About the journey of three "associates" (they just game together and are totally not friends) spanning multiple PC gaming worlds. Picks up by Ep. 03.

* ''Comments'': The [=TF=]2 characters animated into the trailer for ''LawAbidingCitizen''. I want this movie to exist.

* ''Comments'': [=TrueOneMoreUser=] made another movie trailer in the above's style, this time for ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. Only time will see if it gets the amount of reclaim ''Law Abiding Engineer'' gets.

* ''Comments'': A [=TF=]2 version of the opening credits of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''.

* ''Comments'': This video....wow. Just wow. It's less than two minutes long, but it has more {{HSQ}} than you can believe. Bricks will be shat.

* ''Comments'': A disturbing animation centered around the Engineer, the Soldier and the TomWaits song of the same name. If the Engineer update teaser vid and comic didn't make you believe that the Engineer is a goddamn creepy dude, [[ParanoiaFuel this]] '''''[[NightmareFuel WILL.]]'''''

* ''Comments'': A follow-up to the creator's previous project, ''A Heavy's 2fort Adventure'', this isn't actually ''one'' video, but rather a bunch of videos strung together to make an interactive story, based around precise timing and careful decision-making. Epic in scale, with decent gameplay, and an honestly touching ending. Go watch it...I mean, play it...I mean...just click on the link, will you?

* ''Comments'': Hands down one of the best fan-made animations I have ever seen. The animation is fluid and detailed, and the personalities of the various characters are captured perfectly in their movements. You'll end up watching several times to catch everything you missed.

* ''Comments'': A fan-made version of the missing "Meet the Team" movies that isn't a rickroll or two-frame flipbook? Especially with custom animation and a twist on the speculation of the Pyro's identity? Excellent!

* ''Comments'': The RED Scout becomes a superhero, Pancake Man, and fights crime with the help of his three best buds, RED Engy, RED Soldier, and RED Medic. There's four or five real episodes of the series, and the trailer for a movie that was never to be released. [=BlueChameleon01=] has stated after their 5000th subscriber that they would actually produce the movie if the trailer gets 100,000 views.

* ''Comments'': Possibly inspired by the special Halloween-only taunt that mimics the famous ''[[MichaelJackson Thriller]]'' dance, this is an ''extremely well-animated'' video of all 18 characters (9 from RED, 9 from BLU) dancing to Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Watch it and be amazed!

* ''Comments'': What ''Team Fortress 2'' might look like as a live-action short. Has exceptionally well-done effects and nice music, to boot.

* ''Comments'': It's the (abridged) first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! using only sound clips of the [=TF=]2 characters! Coming from LK, of course it's hilarious! :D I've watched it many times, and I highly recommend giving it a look.

* ''Comments'': A hilarious adventure where the titular ape tries to retrieve his banana hoard from the BLU team. This video features fairly decent animation, but the main draw is the various antics DK gets into. Filled with quite a number of [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].

* ''Summary'': Tired of the seemingly puny stature of his team, the Heavy decides to go solo. The Spy tries to convince him not to leave, but the Heavy decides that [[DeadlyEuphemism he no longer needs them]].

* ''Comments'': A hilarious ''GarrysMod'' short that's not only packed with {{Shout Out}}s and {{Internet Meme}}s, but also gives them an original twist and parodies classic cliches of ''[[GarrysMod Gmod]]'' videos.

* ''Summary:'' An animated version of a scene from ''Meet The Director''.

* ''Comments:'' The BLU Heavy finds a disguise kit and uses it to mess with the RED team. It's definitely better than it sounds.

* ''Comments:'' '''Warning:''' If you click that link, you'd better be prepared for 17 straight minutes of bizarre faces, slapstick insanity, and a complete lack of rhyme or reason in general. There are many of ''Team Fabulous 2'''s ilk on Youtube, but ''Fabulous'' takes reigns supreme over all of its cousins in terms of production values and genuinely hilarious [[CrackFic crack]]. Also, there's some plot stuff about a red fox-cat thing dropping [[MajorasMask The Moon]] on a MarioKart map, but that makes about as much sense as the rest of the video.

* ''Comments:'' An ''extremely'' well-done [[GarrysMod GMod]] rendition of a scene from ''TheGreenMile''. Possibly the most "serious" [=GMod=] video ever made, except maybe the aforementioned ''Heavy's Revelation''. Has just as much [[TearJerker Tear-Jerking]] potential as the actual scene from the movie. Ever since the upload of this video, it's maker has been bombarded with requests for more "serious" [=TF=]2 videos.

* ''Comments:'' Using such a goofy, cartoony game and using it as a way to show the horrors of war sounds like a straight-up silly idea, but this is almost shocking in how touching it is. It puts Charlie Chaplin's speech from TheGreatDictator into the Medic's mouth and mashes it against loving and horrifying shots of the team palling around and killing each other. It's actually so good, it makes you want to stop playing the game.

* ''Comments'': A sort-of animation using the song "There! Right There!" from Theatre/LegallyBlonde: The Musical. It is well-drawn and funny and I have no better words for it right now. The user has a [[http://catwings30.deviantart.com/ deviantART account]] too, which is worth checking out.

* ''Comments'': A collaboration by many, many Youtube users, this 23 minute [=GMod=] film is a pretty interesting, and perhaps accurate representation of the randomness and oddities of dreams, even if a lot of them are humorous (and sometimes rely on lowbrow humor), I recommend at least a watch.

* ''Comments:'' This movie shows what the Source Filmmaker is capable of. With realistic animation, hilarious moments, and a jaw dropping ending, it is already looking like one of the greatest early SFM shorts so far. I don't much more to say about it, so check it out.

* ''Comments'': This is what you get when you let the Pyro do a rendition [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie's Smile Song]]. Absolutely hilarious.

* ''Comments'': A film that combines the setting of Team Fortress 2 with elements of {{Transformers}}, {{Real Robot}}s and a few other inspirations. The creative use of Engineer's buildings is what really sells it.

* ''Comments:'' A cleverly designed and beautifully animated rendition of the ultimate Mann Vs. Machine round, if ''Team Fortress 2'' somehow managed to intersect with ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'', and ''ComicBook/IronMan'' at the same time. Made by the same animator as the aforementioned ''Teamformers'', so just like with his previous offering, expect tons of heavily detailed and well-constructed custom props, good use of music to set the tone, smooth animation, and of course, lots of action.

* ''Synopsis'': A funny video.

* ''Synopsis'': A goofy short video detailing the [[HilarityEnsues hilarity caused]] by a FreakyFridayFlip caused when the Scout and Heavy squabble and cause a TeleporterAccident that ultimately leads to them being MistakenForSpies by their own teammates. Sorting out the mess is both easier and harder than it has to be.

Team Fortress 2 has generated an incredible amount of machinima and voice mashups for an MMORPG FPS. So much so that they now have their own page!
