Normal variants
Soldier (Type 1)
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Soldier | ![]() Rocket Launcher |
— |
Soldier bots behave like human Soldiers, rushing into battle using with their Rocket Launchers as a primary means of attack.
By itself the Soldier bot isn't a terrible threat, but nothing in this game mode comes "alone". A squad of Soldier bots becomes a quick problem as you may be faced with a barrage of rockets coming your way. Soldier Robots reload when they have time, and fire when they see an enemy.

---|---|---|---|
Soldier | ![]() Cow Mangler 5000 |

This rare variant of the Soldier-bot carries the Cow Mangler 5000, their 80% damage reduction to buildings means they pose less of a threat to an Engineer's buildings, they are otherwise identical to a normal Soldier-bot. They do not fire charged shots.
Soldier (Type 3)

Another variant of the Extended Buff Soldier uses the Direct Hit in combination with the Buff Banner. Unlike the other variants, these Soldiers do not have "Extended Buff" in their names, and use the regular Soldier bot icon. Unlike what was previously thought, these soldier bots are not exclusive to Caliginous Caper as they spawn on the final wave of the Expert Coaltown Mission; Cataclysm

Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Giant Burst Fire Soldier | ![]() Rocket Launcher |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This is a variant of the Giant Rapid Fire Soldier, and has similar stats. However, it will shoot a flurry of rockets that are shot out in a very rapid succession. Players should be aware of when it's firing and when it's reloading; an unaware and unattentive player will likely result in a quick death.
Giant Charged Soldier
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Giant Charged Soldier | ![]() Original |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Equipped with the Original, Giant Charged Soldiers always fire critical hit rockets. The rockets move more slowly, though, at half the speed of regular rockets, and can be easily dodged by wary players.
Giant Burst Fire Soldier (Type 2)
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Giant Burst Fire Soldier | ![]() Rocket Launcher |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This robot is similar to the first type of Giant Burst Fire Soldier, but it deals double damage and has 100% critical hits. Although it does fire slightly slower than the original, this robot's attack can be deadly as the rockets move faster and deals more damage.

Icon | Name | Primary | Secondary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Giant Buff Banner Soldier | ![]() Rocket Launcher |
![]() Buff Banner |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This is the juggernaut of all the Soldier robots. Similar to the Giant Soldier, Giant Charged Soldier and the Giant Burst Fire Soldier, it will not fire until it has a full clip reloaded. When it does, it will shoot all of its crit rockets in rapid succession, killing anyone who is unaware or even too close to the attack. All players must take extreme caution to eliminate this robotic threat, as its extremely high health, health regeneration and crit-boosted rockets can be a major problem.
Giant Black Box Soldier

---|---|---|---|
Giant Black Box Soldier | ![]() Black Box |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Similar to its smaller counterpart, it has the ability to heal itself entirely upon hitting an enemy, and fires 3 rockets in a single blast. A Medic's Projectile Shield upgrade, a Heavy's Minigun ability to deflect projectiles, and a Pyro's Compression blast can help destroy or reflect the projectiles. This can make it much easier to destroy these giants. It can easily carry the bomb all the way to the hatch or capture a gate if it keeps dealing out damage to heal itself. Otherwise, it has the same attributes as the Giant Soldier.
Giant Blast Soldier
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |

Giant Blast Soldier | ![]() Liberty Launcher |

Unused content
- There is an unused version of Major Crits that uses the Black Box, wears the Team Captain and Fancy Dress Uniform, and has only 40000 HP. It is referred to as T_TFBot_Chief_Soldier_Atomic just like Sir Nukesalot is referred to as T_TFBot_Chief_Demo_Atomic, suggesting it was at one point intended to be used instead of Sir Nukesalot.
- There is also an unused icon for Major Crits in the game files, suggesting that he was wearing a Sergeant's Drill Hat, but it was replaced with Gatebot Helmet.
