The Big Mean Mother Hubbard was an experimental, likely primary[1], weapon for the Engineer that was being play-tested by Valve. The existence of this weapon was first discovered in the form of filename strings found in the cp_degrootkeep.lst file that was added to the game in the December 17, 2010 Patch;

"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard.vmt"
"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard.vtf"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.ani"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.dx80.vtx"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.dx90.vtx
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.jpg"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.mdl"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.phy"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.sw.vtx"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.vvd"

A possible weapon id string (TF_WEAPON_DISPENSER_GUN) indicates that this weapon was meant for the Engineer Update.[2]
