So a decent amount of people showed interest about this when I gave the idea of this through an sfm poster I made, so I wanted to talk about it here! (Also to show off my work, im rather proud of it!)
Taking place during MvM’s arc, a few of Gray Mann’s bots malfunction and become creepily... sentient, if you could even call it that. They displayed keen interest in their real counterparts, most notably the bot medic. Deep within the tunnels that usher tanks into the scene, a makeshift infirmary was created, where they attempted to mirror the real RED medic, their medicine, their birds, and most of all their excitement.
They would take pieces of worthless, broken comrades and spare them from incineration, instead repairing them. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to understand their surroundings quite like he did, and in turn deactivated themselves. So, out of sheer loneliness, they saw one other option...
But enough talk about the Medic, who’s that Sniper?
Bot Sniper was just another pawn of Gray Mann’s, and a younger one at that, fresh out of the factory and emotionless just like the others. Hurriedly rushed onto the battlefield and clueless of what would become of them-- (not having an ai will do that to you) --and began to pick away at the enemy team.
They aren’t sure what happened that day that allowed them to survive, but a stray rocket hit them square in the chest, exposing their circuitry and leaving them for dead. Yet, as the battle raged on, they held on by a thread, malfunctioning and twitching the entire time. And as it ended, Scout found them convulsing and sparking on the ground long after the mess of cogs had been collected and sold off.
While he was initially tempted to put it out of it’s supposed misery with his trusty ol’ bat, he uh, wouldn’t tell ya this but he kinda felt bad for the little guy y’know? I mean, not like he didn’t enjoy bashing their heads in, but he was reminded a bit of his own sniper, who very much despised Scout despite his advances to try and be friends.
So, he carefully brought the bot all the way to the base.
The others did not react well. After all, it could have tracking on it! it could self destruct! spy! what the hell was this kid thinking?!
But he was adamant, saying it couldn’t do crap. I mean, he wasn’t wrong, the bot had little to no function in the first place, but being moved around had... Changed something, wires crossed and code malfunctioned that enabled the experimental programs meant to allow for better fighting tactics in the other robots.
And in that moment of clarity, Sniper let out a fairly broken and staticky transmission.

But that’s all in the past. Who are these people, what’s up with scout’s leg? I suppose you may know in the future... Or not! :)
Hey, hey, okay, but for some reason my brain saw mantis men and the idea that the world is taken over by aliens and went:
“…Aperture science facility creates an army of mantis men and various horrifying abominations of science that have been dormant for years only for Chell/Doug to go and find them and somehow take over the combine with pure human ingenuity and bullshittery.”
Obviously the scientists are long gone, but that doesn’t mean the consequences of their crazy experiments can’t still be far reaching, can it? That doesn’t mean someone can’t come and try and take the facility over with the same ideals as Cave himself, right? I mean, I don’t know alot about the lore of either series, I know more about portal than I do half life but… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Portal is 2700% funnier when you remember that it canonically takes place in the same universe as Half-Life.
Aperture Science, a company run by a guy with more money than brains, accidentally turned a bunch of test-subjects into mantis-men using only 1950’s technology. 50-odd years later, their chief business competitor, Black Mesa Research Facility, is manipulated into setting off a dimensional catastrophe which ultimately results in the world getting conquered by an interdimensional alien empire called the Combine. The computer in charge of the Aperture Science facility, in the middle of a goofy tirade, claims to be “the only thing standing between us and them.”

I’m boutta make a post about this one, folks. Not sure if the post still exists, but this blog is dedicated to what was originally a self insert oc, and there’s reasons I’ve changed things about her that, when mentioned in the post that showed up earlier today (while I did not see it personally, I saw screenshots...), definitely hurt a bit to hear, because I know how it feels to be all of those things.
Either way, your 10th class ocs, original or not, are valid af and I support you all the way! ya’ll are welcome on my blog, ya’ll are supported on my blog, and most of all, ya’ll are amazing and deserve to have fun even when others try to drag you down.
Do NOT send the author of the post we’re all mentioning any hate/harassment, ya goofs.

The expression meme requests ft. @tf2strategist’s 10th class oc Edith<33
How would medic react if i'd steal his bonesaw? Just wanna know because of several reasons-
He’d laugh it off, probably. Just make sure to keep one eye open next time you visit, especially if you plan on sleeping... He has plenty of bonesaws to spare. I mean, why have one when you have the possibility of losing it! Multiple is always the better option, right?
Anyways, enjoy the new organs sewn into you anon!
people woobifying medic and making him this frail weak pitiful creature that’s useless without heavy
have u seen him run around the battlefield and saw through people
For that merc roadtrip post, I see Scoatcand Demo as the ones asking to stop every 20 min. Granted Demo almost has an excuse
Hah, certainly agree with that headcanon! Engineer ends up screaming out of frustration half way through because multiple times they both stopped them just to say they were kidding.
ONLY REAL AMERICANS CAN ROCKET JUMP SAFELY, SO I’LL JUST HAVE TO DO IT FOR YOU, FRENCHFRY!
