Meet the Pyro
Meet the Pyro Titlecard
Video Info
Released: June 27th, 2012
Run time: 2:32

Pre-Release

In March 2010, Robin Walker revealed in an interview with the KritzKast Podcast that Meet the Pyro will let people see the world through the Pyro's eyes.[1]

In a blog post[2] telling about upcoming events in the game, the TF2 team confirmed Meet the Pyro would be released sometime in 2012, and also released a shot of the video.

In an interview on Gametrailers.com's "Bonus Round" during March 2012, Erik Wolpaw announced that Valve had recently finished the production of Meet the Pyro and that it would be released "soon", along with something else.[3]

A short clip of Meet the Pyro was teased in Valve's video "Perpetual Testing Initiative", showing the part of the video teased in the first released picture. [4]

On the Team Fortress website, this was posted on June 22, 2012 by the Pyro: "Mmmmph mmmmph, mmmmm mmmmmp mmmmmph. Mmmmmph mpm! Mmmmmph mph mm! Hm mmmmmph, hmmmmph mm mmmmmph mmmmmph!". This later was translated as Morse code into "Monday", which was the day Pyromania started. [5]

Video transcript

Notes

  • The title card displays 'COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL' on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
  • To coincide with the release of the last Meet the Team video, Valve released a public beta of the Source Filmmaker, the tool used to produce all the movies.
  • This video was uploaded twice to the official Team Fortress 2 channel. The second version can only be accessed via Adult Swim's website.
    • In the version posted to Adult Swim, the RED Spy's cigarette is unlit, and the video doesn't introduce the Source Filmmaker at the end.
  • The matchbox seen as part of the title card has a picture of a Balloonicorn on it.
  • The music heard during the Pyro's massacre of the BLU team was added as a main menu track, titled "Dreams of Cruelty".
  • According to the closed captions on the official video, the RED Scout says, "He's not here, is she?" following Valve's long running joke of not revealing the Pyro's gender.
  • The song played when viewing the world through the Pyro's eyes is titled Template:W, by Template:W. As the Pyro is walking away from the burning town, the Pyro can be heard whistling a slower version of the song.
    • The Pyro's whistles are unmuffled.
  • The manner in which the Pyro initially picks up the Lollichop and fires the Scorch Shot at the Scout are referenced in-game, via their taunts.
  • The Demoman is wearing the old "dynamite stick" class emblem. However, the baby Demoman seen by the Pyro has the current Stickybomb emblem.
  • At the end of the film, as the Soldier clutches his (lack of) chest, the Rainblower can be seen peeking out on the left, into the real world.
  • At 0:10 a Teddy Bear can be seen right to Pyro's foot (Probably dead Engineer's Teddy Roosbelt)
  • The Pyro is who most kills had on all The Meet the Team videos, killing each class at least one time (Except BLU Pyro and Spy)
Kills:
 -At 1:16 a Heavy
 -At 1:24 a Scout
 -At 1:34 a Medic
 -At 1:49 a Engineer
 -At 1:49 also Demoman, Soldier, and another Scout run in fire, probably die later for afterburn
 -At 1:57 Sniper
 -At 2:11 Soldier finally dies
 -At 2:14 A burned Engineer's skeleton can be seen, however an Engineer dies on 1:49 in another place, and not via afterburn or burn
 -At 2:15 Demoman finally is shown deceased

Trivia

  • Template:W Template:W was also considered for the Pyroland sequence background music. [6]
  • The Balloonicorn appeared on the cover of A Smissmas Story as an ornament, six months before Meet the Pyro was released.
