History WMG / TeamFortress2Classes

* ''turning Heavy into a {{cyborg}}.'' As noted on the [[NightmareFuel/TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2 Nightmare Fuel]] page, listening to the new voice clips you get the impression that Medic is becoming [[SanitySlippage even more unhinged]] than [[MadDoctor how unhinged he was previously]]. He's also started acting like kind of a [[MachineWorship robot]] {{fanboy}}, declaring that "the flesh is weak." And Heavy's voice has become a little... [[VoiceOfTheLegion weird]]. Deeper, [[GutturalGrowler hoarser]]... and almost, dare I say... metallic? And he notes that he's getting "too old and giant for this." Maybe Medic has started turning Heavy into a cyborg from the inside out, [[ObliviouslyEvil just because]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners he cares about him]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil so much]].

* ''[[Franchise/MetalGear Ocelot]]'' Russian? Check. Rotary Gun? Check. Can kill people by pointing fingers and saying "bang" Check. Man, he's really let himself go.

* ''...the father of Ness from Videogame/{{Earthbound}}.'' Where do you think Ness's dad got much money if he just works making hamburgers? Ness's SMAAAASH hits are clearly inherited from his father's ability to BONK enemies into submission, as are his PSI powers; the Scout's double jump is a form of levitation. Going further with this theory, note how Ness is the slowest of the four playable characters in Earthbound. What does the Scout take pride in? His Speed! The Scout himself used to be slow as a child, and is embarrassed that his son is suffering the same problems as he did.

* That's why he can be seen as just another mercenary by the other team with nothing but a paper plate for a disguise

* We actually have a pretty solid age for Sniper: [[spoiler:Pauling says that New Zealand sunk 40 years ago, and Sniper was just a crawling baby when he escaped with the rocket ship a decade later.]] So, Sniper is almost definitely 30 or 31.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6bw16I7DqUagent It's no secret that Spies are far from trustworthy.]] (See his conversation with the BLU Scout.) Notice how he goes on this extensive rant on how incredibly dangerous the enemy spy is...right after he [[spoiler: gave the BLU Scout-actually the RED Spy-back the knife without a second thought,]] a terribly dangerous thing to do in such a situation, even if he [[spoiler:didn't know who the RED Spy was.]] The explanation was that he was planning to defect to the other team and hoped that the RED Spy was in the room. In a way, the Soldier was right.

[[VideoGame/BubbleBobble The Curse]]. If you touch anything[[note]]Well, including getting hit by others' weapons but definitely not friendly objects[[/note]], [[OneHitPointWonder you'd die]]. And the BLU spy was hit by shotgun fire to the head, therefore, among [[TheManyDeathsOfYou the many EXAGGERATED ways a character can die (getting so fatally numb from touching anything that you gain a literal black line across your eyes, incineration from a small laser bolt when it should cause a small burn, getting FROZEN TODAY from a snowball when it should just feel cold at the impact point, getting electrocuted from small un-bubbled electricity when it should be a tingle)]] it'd ''obvious''ly quickly cause YourHeadASplode, as if his body wouldn't [[strike:poof away into magic dust, which does not happen in the [=TF2=] world]] explode anyway. This would of course deny the possibility that any one of us would see his eyes getting crossed off by a literal black line. {{Squick}}y and potentially disgusting detail: [[spoiler:Whatever cross-out line the spy would have would probably be on whatever skin fragments that got peeled off his face during the shotgun blast. Ick indeed.]]

* In the BLU base on the Meet the Medic map there is actually a poster referencing Medic losing his medical license and the patients's skeleton missing. [[spoiler:The patient was a Mr. Mann.]]

** Heavy is said to have a PHD in Russian Literature. It's possible he may not be able to read much ''English,'' but it's unlikely that this has resulted in him being classed as one of the illiterates by Valve/Miss Pauling. Heavy is an 'unlikely'.

[[WMG: Not all of the PHDs the Engineer has are worth the paper they're printed on]]
* Everything the Engineer does in-game is basically PercussiveMaintenance, and the supplementary comics claim he didn't actually invent any of his stuff. The Engineer might be really clever but '''eleven''' PHDs? C'mon. He's lived long enough to earn *one* legitimate PHD and maybe a handful in related fields, but the rest were either honorary degrees, arranged by the Announcer to bribe him into working for her and not anyone else (he could easily get better work elsewhere, but she guarantees '''respectability'''), and/or bullshit degrees granted by fly-by-night schools who'll give a degree to anybody who pays tuition. That's why he's always announcing everything and the Spy insults him as "Laborer".

He has rather obvious [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes dark circles around his eyes]] in "Meet the Medic". None of the other classes look like that, so it [[TheLawOfConservationOfDetail must be significant]]. Do you know what keeps him [[TheInsomniac up at night]]? After hearing people [[HollerButton whining for him to come heal them]] all day, he [[HearingVoices hallucinates]] that [[TheTetrisEffect he can still hear them]] at night. So [[WhatTheHellPlayer think about that before the next time you spam E]] because [[ItAmusedMe it amuses you]], or you like your class's voice, or it's a [[PlayerTic tic]], or you've forgotten that the Medic does not hand out ammo, or...

* ''Related to or is [[ComicBook/ThePunisher General Nikolai Alexandrovitch Zakharov]]'' Both are [[BaldOfEvil ba]][[BaldOfAwesome ld]], [[HuskyRusskie heavyset Russians]]. General Nikolai Alexandrovitch Zakharov once stood [[TheDeterminator unflinching]] under a hail of automatic fire, earning him the nickname of the [[StoneWall Man of Stone]], while the Heavy is capable of taking large amounts of damage from multiple weapons and moves slowly.

* ''...the proud owner of a classy moustache.'' Frenchmen are often seen as possessing thin oiled moustaches. Maybe Spy has a BadassMoustache under his balaclava.

** In "Ring Of Fired" we see the world through Pyrovision again. Pyrovision distorts people and sound, but it does not seem to distort the written word. He/She burns books in Teufort. And in "True Meaning" Engineer is reading to Pyro. Pyro is a 'likely'.

** [[NotSoDifferent The purse is Pyro's attempt at a disguise, then?]]

'''In-Universe:''' Pyro's insanity would destroy any hope of civility the Spy has.\\
'''In-Game:''' Since flames last longer than a single bullet, it would be easier to spot Spy upon combustion, allowing the opposing team to attack him.
