Synopsis
The nearly bankrupt Grey Mann is aggravated over his constant losses at defeating the mercenaries. To top it off, the mercenaries are spending the money powering the robots, on hats from Saxton Hale. Three scout-bots enter the room in which Grey Mann is grumbling to himself. One of the scout-bots suggests powering robots on something other than money.
Grey turns around and unveils "Plan B" - the Bot Dogger. Grey asks a scout-bot it's objective. The scout-bot replies "checking out wicked hot fem-bots?" Grey drops the Bot Dogger on the scout-bot's head. The scout-bot upgrades its objective to sell the mercenaries hats. Grey looks at a magazine cover of Saxton Hale's success and says to himself, "Let's see how well your profit margins fare when my army of sales-bots charge forth with a viral marketing campaign..."
The scene changes to the mercenaries at Mannworks. All of the mercenaries have too much money; the demoman is covered with bling, the pyro and engineer are burning it, the soldier is eating it on a sandwich, and the sniper is sniping on a pile of cash. The sniper scopes out the window and sees the sales-bots approaching. He shoots them in the face and alerts the other mercenaries that the robots are marching forwards with crates. The soldier is enraged the how sales-bots are "surrendering".
The mercenaries destroy the robots, and examine the robocrates. Suddenly, a half-robotic engineer from 1999, warps in with a half-robotic pyro head. The future-engineer tries to warn the mercenaries about the robocrates, but the scout asks about the future. The future-engineer is cut short when he is sucked back to the future. He quickly tells the mercenaries to not open the robocrates. His statement is unclear, and the soldier thinks the future-engineer wanted them to open the crates.
