Here are some Ideas:
 
 
 
1. '''Scout''': Standard Bat Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Scout presents it as if it were the "Slap Chop" (Taunt)
 
 
 
2. '''Soldier''': Shovel Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Soldier bites the head off as if it were a grenade, and it explodes (Kill Taunt)
 
 
 
3. '''Pyro''': Axe Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Pyro plays with it as if it were an airplane or as if it were a Ken Doll.
 
 
 
4. '''Demoman''': Bottle Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Demoman unscrews the head and drinks from it as if it was a flask.
 
 
 
5. '''Engineer''': Wrench Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Engineer places it ontop of a Sentry or Dispenser (Essentially, A Building Hat)
 
 
 
6. '''Heavy''': Sandwitch Replacement
 
 
 
Primary or Secondary: Heavy eats the award as if it was made of chocolate (Heal Taunt)
 
 
 
7. '''Medic''': Saw Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Uses it to test his knee Reflexes (Kill Taunt)
 
 
 
8. '''Sniper''': Kuri Replacement
 
 
 
Secondary: Holds it in one hand and flicks the head with his finger and says "Boom Headshot".
 
 
 
9. '''Spy''': Knife Replacement (Works just like the knife, but with new backstab animation. Uses it just like those small flexable weighted clubs you use to knock someone out by hitting them in the back of the head)
 
 
 
Secondary: Spy tries to disguise himself as SAXTON HALE but only lasts a taunt duration.

==Composition==
 
''"While the First Annual Saxxy Awards promotional video reveals that the Saxxy is made of 75% Australium, the blog post promoting the announcement of the contest winners refers to it as a "handsome 100% Australium-plated Saxton Hale statuette", adding further vagueness to its actual composition."''
 
 
 
Isn't that extra 25% likely to mean the stand, which is probably wood or metal? --'''[[User:Cooper Kid|<span style="color:red">Coo</span><span style ="color:gray">per</span><span style ="color:blue"> Kid</span>]]''' <small>([[User_talk:Cooper Kid|Blether]]''' · '''[[Special:Contributions/Cooper Kid|Contreebs]])</small> 01:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

::75% overall, total of the statue. A small percentage of that (probably 10-15%) was used to completely plate it. I theorize it is 100% Australium on the outside, then a layer of some heavy metal, followed by a nuggety Australium center. [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 01:46, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

There are unique ones, they exist. https://backpack.tf/overview/Saxxy Cheezcracker (talk) 08:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Every Saxxy was updated to be strange, these are likely outdated backpacks.

Saxxy Awards "was"?

Technically even though it's been years since the last Saxxys, the Awards were never officially discontinued and it's just been a hiatus... on paper. Should this be noted? Is it presumption to use the past tense in this article? Why not use "is" whilst noting the hiatus? Just as Tux could theoretically become tradeable one day as Valve promised a decade ago, see the Scout pants fiasco. (p.s. Should an article be made for all the Awards as a concept or is only the seven individual ones okay?)--Leaderboard class allclass.png Akolyth (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

It's not up to us to decide if something is on hiatus or not, that would imply there's a chance it comes back (there is, but there's also a chance they're just retired forever). I'm not sure what would even be changed here.

That just seems like unnecessary speculation to me. I don't think any changes to this wording is necessary, just a link to Saxxy (disambiguation) would be useful.
