== Is the Huntsman thing a bug? ==

== Default vs. Alternate model by default ==
  
Is it possible to tell whether the Huntsman dealing non-critical headshot damage is a bug or not? [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 13:36, 27 October 2012 (PDT)

The default 3D model (called "Default") is the green one. I believe the human-looking one (not green), which is the "Alternate" right now, should be the default, as I think that it would make more sense (the 2D model, for instance, shows the human-looking one).<br/>[[User:Tiagoquix|<font color="#1e90ff">Tiagoquix</font>]] ([[User talk:Tiagoquix|<font color="#19c819">talk</font>]]) 16:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
:Not a bug. Merasmus' head hitbox is huge, and the huntsman's minor aim correction thing plays into that as well. Further, he takes critical damage from everyone when he's throwing bombs or stunned. ==[[User:FaxCelestis|Fax Celestis]] <sub>[[User_talk:FaxCelestis|talk]]</sub><small>[[Special:Contributions/FaxCelestis|contrib]]</small><sup>[http://wiki.faxcelestis.net/ home]</sup> 14:18, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

== As for being the Soldier's Roommate... ==

: Merasmus spawns in the green form and is in the green form for the majority of the boss fight. The green form is by definition his "default" state. Having the human form as "default" would be incorrect imo because that's not what he defaults to [[User:Mediarch|{{font color|ec5c69|'''Mediarch'''}}]] [[File:User Mediarch PFP.png|25px]][[User:Mediarch|{{font color|ff66cc| ♥ }}]][[User talk:Mediarch|{{font color|ec5c69|'''Talk'''}}]][[User:Mediarch|{{font color|ff66cc| ♥ }}]][[Special:Contributions/Mediarch|{{font color|ec5c69|'''My Edits'''}}]] 16:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
 
 
Is it safe to say at this point that Merasmus is simply the roommate of the Soldier, rather than the RED Soldier or BLU Soldier? It's been referenced on both teams in the comics that the Soldier's roommate is a magician. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Bralef|Bralef]]''' ([[User talk:Bralef|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Bralef|contribs]]) 07:24, 28 October 2012</small>
 
 
 
I think you have to say he is the RED soldiers roommate since that was shown in the latest comic [[User:Sleutelkind|Sleutelkind]] 04:58, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
In the comics, RED Soldier is Merasmus' roommate, and BLU Soldier is friends with RED Demoman. They just don't have team-specific lines in-game, so both soldiers wind up saying the same lines. [[User:Redjarman|Redjarman]] 12:00, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
I'm not talking about the in-game lines. In the Smissmas comic, for example, the BLU Spy says that the BLU Soldier's roommate is a magician. [[User:Bralef|Bralef]] 20:51, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
 
== Merasmus voice actor? ==
 
 
 
Anyone else think that Merasmus sometimes sounds like Wheatley from Portal 2? Cause some of the lines he says sounds like wheatley (including some of the sarcasm). Could make a nice trivia if it's found to be true. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 02:27, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
:I'm fairly sure it's not Stephen Merchant - if Merasmus is supposed to have a British accent it's a pretty bad one, as with all the mercs. {{User:Cooper Kid/Signature}} 04:47, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
::It's definitely not Stephen Merchant, but I do wonder who the voice actors are for him and the Bombinomicon. It's the first time completely new voiced characters have been introduced, I think. EDIT: Listening to all the voice clips, I think it might actually be Robin Atkin Downes, the guy who voiced the Medic. It's just a guess, though. --[[User:Tinker|Tinker]] 04:49, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
:::If it is Robin Atkin Downes, I'd be pretty pissed off.. He can voice an entirely new character, but he cant give the poor Medic some Domination lines? Wtf! [[User:Untamed64|Untamed64]] 08:04, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
:::::Considering they put in a ton of Medic voice lines just for this event, they had him around anyway.--[[User:Tinker|Tinker]] 03:39, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
 
:::: Might want to listen to some of the lines Merasmus says. Especially the ones after you get Uber. You can hear a slight British accent in some of the lines. Also the sarcasm he gives as well. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 12:37, 28 October 2012 (PDT)
 
::::: Even if he does, that doesn't make him Stephen Merchant. --[[User:Tinker|Tinker]] 03:30, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
 
::::::I'm actually thinking this is Gary Schwartz for Merasmus (listen to the laughs he does... sounds like the Demoman), while the Bombinomicon is actually Nolan North, the voice actor for Uncharted's main star Nathan Drake.  Yes, even though Bombinomicon sounds like a weird and warped version of Speedy Gonzales with some "Bomb-head" intentions, it's still Nolan. :D  [[User:That Guy|That Guy]]  12:31, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
Someone should contact Gary Schwartz or the other actors, asking if they voiced these new characters. [[User:Dogman15|Dogman15]] 14:09, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

== Bombinomicon as a separate topic and page?==
 
 
 
After listening to endless new voice clips added in the new Halloween update, and the bigger role that the Bombinomicon has from both the Monoculus and the newer Halloween Boss, Merasmus, I see it fitting to give the Bombinomicon a newer page separate from its Badge page.  While the Bombinomicon is a book, it talks, interacts with players, and plays important story roles in both Halloween specials of 2011 and 2012.  Anybody agree?  I need a vote :P  [[User:That Guy|That Guy]]  12:41 29 October 2012
 
I'd call it pretty fitting to be honest. He seems pretty major now to me. Upvote for me I guess. [[User:LightFlock|LightFlock]] 18:34, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Does anyone know what the maximum level Merasmus can reach is? I've gotten to 102 before the server I was on crashed. [[User:Torvaltz|Torvaltz]] 15:23, 2 November 2012 (PDT)
 
:Don't know the max. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaFqm4cgfV0#aid=P-iht0FrG2o Here] is a video where Merasmus is seriously nerfed.  They got to Level 1337 (Leet?) before they got bored, they say. [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 21:28, 23 April 2014 (PDT)

Can someone check? The voice seems to be from a Valve employer (also looks like Gabe Newell).
 
 
 
Far I heard, it seems they forgot to make like Merasmus voice (just recorded it), he says:
 
 
 
"See you at home, Soldier".

One of the songs played by Sex Bob-omb is called "Erasmus the Enchanter". Take the M out of Merasmus and you get Erasmus. Add this to the word "Enchanter" meaning wizard.

RE, the last Trivia point (speculation that Meramus is female): Male voice actor? Masculine voice? Masculine appearance? Incarceration in a male prison?  In my opinion, Merasmus is a [[w:Parody|send up]] of the fantasy fandom community.  Someone who has spent enough time in fantasy fandom or medieval recreation groups recognizes the risk of a man in garb (like robes, long tunics or, best yet, [[w:Houppelande|houppelandes]]) being mistaken for a woman by [[w: Mundane#In popular culture|“mundanes”]] today, much more so by people in the 60's who would have been much less accustomed to that sort of thing.  IMO, ''nothing'' suggests Merasmus is female.  [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 20:53, 23 April 2014 (PDT)

== Merasmus's new voice actor ==
 
 
 
On the page, it's says MERASMUS is voiced by Nolan North, but in Scream Fotress 2014, he definetly has a new voice actor. Anyone knows who is the new one? Also, please update the page if you do. [[User:LZoleee|LZoleee]] ([[User talk:LZoleee|talk]]) 17:56, 31 October 2014 (PDT)

Default vs. Alternate model by default

The default 3D model (called "Default") is the green one. I believe the human-looking one (not green), which is the "Alternate" right now, should be the default, as I think that it would make more sense (the 2D model, for instance, shows the human-looking one).
