Overtwatch Vs. TF2 is a Source Filmmaker animation by The Winglet, pitting the casts of Overwatch and Team Fortress 2 in a comedic team battle, chalk full of jabs and parodies of their respective mechanics and communities.


  • Always Someone Better: "1" has a duel between both team's speedsters Scout and Tracer. Tracer No Sells his attacks by rewinding to an uninjured state, then headshots him.
  • The Bait: "2" starts off with a bunch of Spies acting like utter trolls. While the Overwatch team is confused by what the hell's going on, it's allowed the rest of the team to flank around and attack from behind.
  • Bitch Slap: "2" has Widowmaker slap whoever selected Symmetra into picking Mercy.
  • Butt-Monkey: "2" has Scout run into Junkrat's Steel Trap, Flashbanged by McCree, Shield Bashed by Brigitte, Hooked by Roadhog, punched by Doomfist, tranqed by Ana... and then Charged by Reinhardt!
  • Commonality Connection: In 1, though initially hostile to one another, Zarya and Heavy both grow close to each other when learning that they both have Russian heritage. And the fact they both sport huge guns, of course. The two even have a Big Damn Kiss at the end of the episode.
  • Cute and Psycho: "1" plays up Mei's Memetic Psychopath version, having left quite a few victims frozen in place as she stalks Scout.
  • Death Glare: "2" has Winston, Orisa and D.Va give this to Sniper after he kills Mercy. It takes one look on his face to realize his impending doom before they tear him apart.
  • Dope Slap: Given in "2" to an erstwhile Symmetra player, who promptly switches to Mercy.
  • Foreshadowing: In one exchange in "2", Reinhardt is about to overpower a Demoknight when the latter simply draws his grenade launcher and blows him up. This is hinted at by a quick shot of his feet being forced back... which reveals he's not wearing the Wee Booties or Bootlegger, meaning he still has his grenade launcher. A particularly experienced player would also note that his sword is the Claedheamh Mor, which is the one sword to have no downsides when sheathed and is therefore a popular pick for Demoknights who favor the grenade launcher.
  • The Juggernaut: BOB, true to form, "does something" and blitzes the rest of the TF2 team and just casually throws even an Ubercharged Heavy in the trash. The only thing that even killed him was Spy backstabbing him since he was Disguised as Ashe.
  • Killer Rabbit: "2" has Wrecking Ball destroy a line of Engineers and Sentries while rolling through them. After Heavy kills Roadhog and is left hanging onto his hook, Hammond climbs down the chain and bites his finger, making Heavy fall to his death.
  • Lock-and-Load Montage: "2" has Soldier:76 and Widowmaker grab their own rifles while Reaper grabs a huge crate of shotguns which he strains to pick up.
  • Makes Us Even: "2" has Pharah pay Soldier back for slamming her into the ground in 1.
  • Mid-Battle Tea Break: "2" has Roadhog and Heavy fight, though it has Roadhog huffing his gas and Heavy having his Sandvich before going for another round.
  • More Dakka: Both sides have their own versions of this that work for and against them.
    • "1" has Torbjorn can set up turrets, but in the time it takes for him to set up ONE turret, three Engineers have already set up Level 3 sentries that mow him down. Another scene has Heavy charging at Bastion and is ready to mow him down, but he picked that day of all days to pick the Brass Beast, which has a slow wind-up time. Bastion immediately goes to turret mode and blasts him apart.
    • "2" has Orisa and Bastion mowing down waves of Scouts, only broken up once Spy saps them.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Both Widowmaker and Sniper, the Cold Sniper of each team... can't hit each other for shit! The only hit that gets landed on either of them is when he throws some Jarate at her. It still persists even in "2".
  • Shovel Strike: "1" has Soldier rocket jump to Pharah and slam her down to the ground with his shovel (specifically the Market Gardener, which is designed for this).
  • Something We Forgot: "2" has Spy holding Ashe dead to rights until she points out... they never moved the payload.
  • Team Killer: "1" has Demo and Junkrat taking a break from the fight and knocking back some drinks. Demo lets Junkrat have the trigger to his bomb and presses it, which takes out Reinhardt and nearly kills Bastion on the payload.
  • A Twinkle in the Sky:
  • Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: The Play of the Game in "2" has an Engineer immediately die in it, yet his Sentry does all the work.
