Taunts

Shotgun

Responses

Dominating a Pyro

"How do you like that, All-Quiet-On-The-Western-Front?"

Template:W is a novel about a German Soldier on the Western front during World War One. It is also a reference to the Pyro's speech impediment.


"I just tore you a new chimney, Smokey Joe."

Template:W was a steam locomotive toy that was popular with children in the 1960s created by Hornby Railways.

Killing a Demoman

"Godspeed, you magnificent bastard."

In the movie Patton, the titular character refers to his enemy as a "magnificent bastard"

Dominating an Engineer

"I will eat your ribs, I will eat them up!"

This is similar to a famous line in Template:W, the 2007 drama film set in California during the Template:W. Ribs are the cut of meat most often used in Template:W, of which Texas is a famous centre.

Dominating a Sniper

"You just got dominated, Bilbo Baggins!"

"You just got dominated, Balbo Biggins!"

"You just got dominated, Bablo Bravins!"

"You just got dominated, Barble Bapkins!"

"You just got dominated, Basbo Bibbins!"

"You just got dominated, Bulbo Buttons!"

Template:W is a fantasy novel by Template:W that follows the quest of home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins to win a share of the treasure guarded by a dragon. The Soldier likens the Sniper to Baggins because he sees him as something of a coward, opting to fight from a distance rather than close-quarters: Tolkien's hobbits are not very warlike but are skilled with their favoured weapon, the slung or hand-thrown stone.


"Aww, am I too violent for you, cupcake?"

"Your country did not prepare you for the level of violence you will meet on my battlefield!"

This is a reference to the release of Left 4 Dead 2, when the Australian government forced Valve to censor the gore. Ironically, Australia is depicted in the TF2 universe as a leading producer of creative weaponry and other murderous gadgets.

Dominated by a Spy

"They can bury you in the 'Tomb of the Unskilled Soldier!'"

A Template:W refers to a grave which contains the remains of a Soldier unidentified or thought impossible to identify, who serves as a symbol for all the unknown soldiers wherever they fell. There are several examples of these tombs around the world.

Other Responses

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." - at the start of Sudden Death

This is an inspirational slogan used commonly by the Template:W.


"Are you all trying for a Section Eight?" - at the start of Sudden Death

Template:W refers to a discharge from the United States military for being mentally unfit to serve.


"Hooah!" - after destroying an enemy building

"Template:W!" is a Template:W battle cry. It is used by soldiers to imply a positive reaction to a question or statement, and to express gung-ho.


"Screamin' Eagles!" - after destroying an enemy building or taunting with the Buff Banner or Concheror active.

The Template:W or "The Screaming Eagles", are a Template:W paratrooper division trained for air assault operations. In World War II, the division was renowned for its action during the Template:W Landings and in the Template:W.


"Come with me if you want to live. With me. In my apartment. I need a roommate."
"I cannot be bargained with! I cannot be reasoned with! I do not know where I am! I am a robot, I don't understand anything!"
"I will never feel pity, or remorse, or fear, or comfortable - in this costume." - Dominations while The Tin Soldier set is equipped

These lines reference the 1984 film, Template:W.

Media

Meet the Soldier

"If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that."

Template:W really did say that: Sun Tzu being the honorific title bestowed upon Sūn Wǔ, the author of Template:W, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.


"Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat..."

Template:W, according to the text of the Template:W, was a large vessel built at God's command to save Noah, his family, and a stock of all the world's animals from a mighty flood. This has nothing to do with Sun Tzu, suggesting that the Soldier's historical knowledge (and mind) may be more than a little confused or, given what the official Team Fortress blog has said about Abe Lincoln and Shakespericles, that the game takes place with a different history.


The music that plays during Meet the Soldier and sometimes on the main menu is titled The Art of War. This is another reference to Template:W book, Template:W.

Meet the Sandvich

"You cannot hurt me, I do not have time to bleed! *Cracking noise* My schedule has just opened up! Aaaohhww, my God!"

This line was recorded for Meet the Sandvich and was improvised from the movie Template:W. It was not used in the final script.


"You do not frighten me! Pain does not hurt! *Cracking noise* I stand corrected! Arrrrggghhgh!"

This is a line from the movie Template:W. It was recorded for Meet the Sandvich, but was not used in the final script.

Bio

The Soldier's motto, "I'm a Rocket Man", is a reference to the song Template:W by Template:W.


The Soldier's job title "Template:W" is an actual military doctrine which is based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze an adversary's perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight.
