== Trivia ==
 
* Mann vs. Machine was heavily teased by the second [[ARG]], which led to the [[Blood Brothers]] comic. Hints were also included in the maps [[Foundry]] and [[Doomsday]].
 
* Mann vs. Machine was also teased in the [[Loose Canon]] comic, where the last page features a mention of a third Life Extender Machine, which may have been the portable version designed for [[Gray Mann]].
 
* A diagram of a Scout Robot appears on the [[Engineer Update]] page, and both a Heavy and a Demoman Robot head appear in the teaser trailer for the update.
 
* Clicking on the [[Grenade Launcher]] in the Upgrade Store picture on the "Mercs" update page will bring you to a preview of the Store's User Interface.
 
* In the list of [[Canteens]], there appears to be a ripped photograph, hinting that there will be a sixth one.
 
*There is no machine based off the Engineer, Spy, or Pyro. Although there was a machine version of Pyro in the trailer.
