“ | This update is 100% created by the TF2 community. And when we say everything, we mean everything—the in-game content, the update hub website, the animated short, the comic, even the splash images in the Steam store. Even better, everything you created avoided the classic trap of using other companies’ intellectual property.
— TF2 Official Blog
|
” |
Robotic Boogaloo was a major content update for Team Fortress 2, released during the May 17, 2013 Patch. It was the first ever community-created update, with 57 different community-created cosmetics being added into the game. The 57 cosmetics added are robotic versions of ordinary TF2 cosmetics, spanning all classes. Along with this, 10 new robot-related Unusual effects, 4 new action items - the Battery Canteens, Pallet of Crates, Random RoboKey Gift and Pile of RoboKey Gifts - and one tool - the RoboCrate Key - were added to the game.

- More crates are seen throughout the older version.
- The newer version has four conveyors rather than one.
- The machine that scans the Football Helmet is more detailed in the newer version, and has a blue thumbs up instead of a green OK.
- In the older version, the Scout Robot uses a forked crowbar. In the newer version, it uses an unforked crowbar.
- In the newer version, the Football Helmet is seen immediately inside the crate. In the older version, it isn't visible until the camera angle changes.
- The newer version has more lighting effects, hay detail, and more detail on the Football Helmet when it's being robotized.
- In the older version, the camera pans to the Heavy first, then The Gridiron Guardian falls onto his head. In the newer version, the helmet falls while the camera pans to the Heavy.
- In the older version, the "Team Fortress 2" logo hits the Heavy twice before having "Robotic Boogaloo" appear. In the newer version, it hits him once.
Trivia
- The update's name is a reference to the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. It gained notoriety for being poorly reviewed by critics and as a box office flop compared to its successful predecessor the year before. The term "boogaloo" has entered the pop-culture lexicon as a pejorative nickname for unnecessary and unwanted sequels.
- The name is also echoed in the Electric Badge-aloo, awarded to contributors to the update.
- On the Battlefield page, two of the Mecha-Engineers are named after famous cowboys:
- Dell "Snake-in-my-boot-disk" Computagher is named after Dell Conagher, and his nickname is a reference to Sheriff Woody from the movie Toy Story. Dell is also the name of an electronics company.
- The Syntax Kid is named after Harry Longabaugh, better known as "The Sundance Kid", an outlaw who thrived in the American Old West.
