The Grocket model.
Hold on, this isn't a missle...it's a rocket. A rocket full of guns.
The Soldier

Grockets appear in 3 maps; 2Fort, Badwater Basin and Barnblitz. They have the appearance of crash-landed rockets with smoke and flames billowing out. It should be noted that the panels sticking out near the nose of the rocket are elements meant to help blend the model into its surroundings, not parts of the actual rocket.

The Grockets are for the "Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack". The Grockets contain alien weaponry and hats according to the TF2 comic and TF2 blog respectively. The new items introduced from this were the Cow Mangler 5000, Righteous Bison, Lord Cockswain's Pith Helmet and the Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe.

At least one of the Grockets is named "The Sperm Cudgel IV", which departed from Venus.[1]
