TF2 Contribute - RoBro 3000

"It's not a girlfriend, but it's as close as a mercenary like you is ever going to get."

The lastest TF2 mod from your favorite team, Nine Worlds, featuring me and my friend, Ragnar Jormungandrson (Opethrockr55)!

Ragnar and I have always thought it would be a neat idea to create a miniature companion that could follow you in-game. Although we were afraid that it could clutter the battlefield by having "pets" everywhere following everyone, we figured as long as it was kept to a small model that didn't draw too much attention to itself, it shouldn't be a problem. Now, whether you want to call it a pet or not is up to you, but what better a way to create a companion that easily fits in the TF2 universe by creating a robotic drone?

This little buddy comes equipped with a glowing eye and tail light, and they're even paintable too! He also comes equipped with his own unique animations and has a jiggleboned tail light, allowing for realistic following action!

This robotic friend has been uploaded to the Steam Workshop, so click the link below and please feel free to comment and vote him up! The more votes, the more likely he'll get in-game! Enjoy!

This is great, but how will it look like in firts-person view? I reckon it could be a hindrance if it gets in front of you while you are walking backwards or when turned around, and can't aim properly because of that.

@stickmanpowar

The robot cannot be seen in first person, only in third person view, so you don't have to worry about that.

[TheVoidGhost]

It's a very nice idea but i think it would be a big tactical disadvantage for a player who's aiming for stealth play since it's following about a meter behind the player and could give his location away.

It looks awesome though :)

[FerreTrip]

That looks pretty sweet!

...And now I wanna go play Metroid Prime.

Good, but I imagine it should be for all classes.

If it is then what would happen when the spy cloaked?

[Gigamesh18]

This is absolutely fantastic, my only question is, how would the robot react when the player dies or is killed, like: would it fall with the ragdoll? would it have a death animation? would it just disappear? just curious, but again, brilliant model and would love to see this in game.
