== Electrifying Taunt ==
The Grordbort blurb image notes a "Eureka Effect Electrifying Taunt". Considering it reasonably probable that it refers to a taunt used by equipping the Eureka Effect (Not unlike the grenade taunt from equipping the Equalizer), should mention be given at least to its existence in the main article?

:It's probably better to just wait for the update to drop rather than speculate about it. I'll update the trivia point I added to mention the taunt's name, though. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 08:46, 15 December 2011 (PST)

== Instant Teleport == 
Shouldn't someone mention that this weapon's Alt-Fire (''Teleport to spawn'') is somehow related to the scrapped [[Instant Teleport]]? [[User:Kuroi Arashi|// Arashi]] 09:29, 15 December 2011 (PST)
:We don't even know if it's instant yet. It's a similar concept and probably will be mentioned, but let's at least wait until we can actually try the thing out. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 10:34, 15 December 2011 (PST)

== Name ==

According to the [http://www.drgrordborts.com/products/team-fortress-2-brainiac-pack/| Dr. Grordbort's page], this weapon is actually called the Wrenchmotron 600 and the Eureka Effect is just a taunt.

:According to the update page it is called ''The Eureka Effect''. It is possible that is a misprint on their part, but for now this is what we will call the wrench. [[File:User_M-NINJA_Signature.png|link=User:M-NINJA]]

== "Teleport" vs. "Respawn" ==

The wrench actually doesn't teleport the player to spawn, it respawns the player (which is why the player's health, ammo, etc get refilled). Should this be mentioned somewhere? -[[User:FlaminSarge|FlaminSarge]] 01:52, 16 December 2011 (PST)
: But do you have to wait the spawn time in order to return to the spawnpoint? If you don't, I think it can be called teleport. Maybe the health and ammo refill will be fixed later, who knows? --{{tf2b|P|size=1.4em|color=blue}}{{tf2b|eppo o'|size=1.2em|color=blue}}{{tf2b|P|size=1.4em|color=blue}}{{tf2b|accio|size=1.2em|color=blue}} [[File:Killicon backstab.png|28px|User Page|link=User:Peppo_o'Paccio]] ([[File:Speech_voice.png|19px|Talk|link=User_talk:Peppo_o'Paccio]] / [[File:Tf2wiki_edit_icon.png|19px|Contributions|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Peppo_o%27Paccio|Contributions]]) 12:05, 16 December 2011 (PST)

== Endround usage? ==

If this can be used during humiliation on the losing team, does this grant the Engineer the slim chance of telefragging an enemy who is in his team's spawn killing people or will the Engineer get stuck inside him or is the teleportation effect not usable at all? -- [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] [[File:User_Psychopath_avatar.png|16px|link=User_talk:Psychopath]] 08:16, 18 December 2011 (PST)

== Should the taunt have its own page? ==

On one hand, [[Medicating Melody]] has a page. On the other, Sandvich eating does not. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 06:09, 4 January 2012 (PST)
:Because [[Medicating Melody]] have effect to another player not self. I think this reason why it have own page. [[User:Hinaomi|Hinaomi]] [[File:Killicon_unarmed_combat.png]] 06:11, 4 January 2012 (PST)
:: <strike>I don't think Medicating Melody needs to have it's own page.  The info on it can EASILY be added into the main article on the Amputator page.  This taunt does even less than MM, even if it didn't, I'd still say no.</strike>  [[User:SS2R|SS2R]] 06:13, 4 January 2012 (PST)
:: After some science, I've changed my mind.  Both the Eureka and Sandvich taunt should have their own pages. [[User:SS2R|SS2R]] 06:33, 4 January 2012 (PST)
::: both the sandvich taunt and this taunt deserve their own pages. They both effect the player in some way, whether it be killing, refreshing ammo, restoring health etc. other taunts are purely animation and do nothing for the player or have any effect to other surrounding players. in a nutshell these taunts actually affect the player in some way while others just do nothing.

== Eureka Effect Demonstration ideas ==

I say that there were no demonstration to Eureka Effect, as of yet. If anyone wants to make it, here's some ideas. It's right on the link (If I show it here, it won't look good) http://pastebin.com/1scXMZ25. I just need some feedback from you guys about these ideas.

:The Eureka Effect demonstration is a work in progress - see [[Team Fortress Wiki talk:Weapon Demonstration#Eureka Effect]].

Oh. I'm really sorry for not realizing that page, But I'll be posting there soon. Thanks :D [[User:Xierra|Xierra]] 05:52, 15 January 2012 (PST)

== Died instead of teleport ==

When I usually play on a server (VSH to be exact), someone uses eureka effect taunt.  The problem was that they died instead of teleporting.  Is this the server problem or problem with the Eureka Effect? <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:One Hit Noob|One Hit Noob]]''' ([[User talk:One Hit Noob|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/One Hit Noob|contribs]]) 04:37, 29 January 2012</small>
:That's not a bug I've heard of, so it was probably something to do with the server. Are you sure the player wasn't attacked and killed just before finishing the taunt?

:::He wasn't attacked when this happened.  Several people done it and they all died after teleporting. [[User:One Hit Noob|One Hit Noob]] 19:34, 30 January 2012 (PST)
::::Can we get a video or some sort of evidence this happened? I own one myself and I find I've never died instead of teleportation.

:::::I have the replay, but I can't save it because it corrupts with the replay model loader. [[User:One Hit Noob|One Hit Noob]] 16:36, 18 February 2012 (PST)
::::::According to the VSH article, the Eureka Effect is not allowed and is replaced with the Wrench when the match starts. I guess the reason people die instead of teleporting is because that weapon isn't allowed.

::::::: I play a different hale server that allows the eureka effect.  But I have noticed one thing, I can use the teleport during setup but I would die after the round begins.[[User:One Hit Noob|One Hit Noob]] 07:06, 19 February 2012 (PST)
::::::::It might just be a quirk with the mod then. Not notable on the wiki anyway, as it's not an official game mode.

== Switching from EE ==

The articles for every other Engie melee weapon all include this line: "Switching from the ____ to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings." Is this not true for the Eureka Effect? I'd test this out myself and add the line, but I do not have the weapon in question. [[User:Ddhoward|Ddhoward]] 20:24, 6 March 2012 (PST)

Confirmed. Adding the line to the page. [[User:Ddhoward|Ddhoward]] 23:39, 11 March 2012 (PDT)


== Picture error? ==
When i loaded up the eureka effect page I found there did not seem to be a picture of the weapon. Is this an error with the page, or just my computer? [[User:ColonelGaraffi|ColonelGaraffi]] 15:19, 10 July 2012 (PDT)ColonelGaraffi
:Looks fine to me. {{User:Cooper Kid/Signature}} 16:52, 10 July 2012 (PDT)


Seems like the picture is cut halfway at the Engie's arm, that could be fixed [[User:DC64|DC64]] ([[User talk:DC64|talk]]) 12:17, 25 January 2014 (PST)
: He's talking about the infobox image, its fine. As for the 1st person images, that is suppose to be like that at a certain PoV setting we have as the standard. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 13:42, 25 January 2014 (PST)

== Demonstration Video ==

I will be working on the updated demonstration video, so this is just to let others know so they dont start only to find out its already been made. This topic will be deleted once I have submitted my video. [[User:TheGamerXym|TheGamerXym]] ([[User talk:TheGamerXym|talk]]) 01:19, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

::Someone else caught me to the chase before i saw the last message [[User:TheGamerXym|TheGamerXym]] ([[User talk:TheGamerXym|talk]]) 11:32, 12 June 2014 (PDT)

== 2D Picture ==

I have started working on the 2D image for the Eureka Effect. This will be removed once submitted. [[User:TheGamerXym|TheGamerXym]] ([[User talk:TheGamerXym|talk]]) 14:30, 13 June 2014 (PDT)

== More Pictures Needed ==

Now that this weapon has an additional menu, allowing you to choose your destination, I think this page needs pictures showing what that menu looks like, both with and without the [[Pip-Boy]]. Also, the Pip-Boy version should also be added to the Pip-Boy page. [[User:Litnin200|Litnin200]] ([[User talk:Litnin200|talk]]) 13:52, 9 July 2014 (PDT)
: Use the needimage template for this sort of thing. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 14:18, 9 July 2014 (PDT)
