 +
A soft-spoken, amiable Texan with a knack for all things mechanical, the '''Engineer''' (real name '''Dell Conagher''') chooses to construct and maintain [[Buildings]] that benefit the team rather than engage in much direct combat. The Engineer's various gadgets include the [[Sentry Gun]], an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the [[Dispenser]], a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and [[Teleporter]]s that quickly transport his teammates to the fray.
 +
 +
However, the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies; a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and in good repair at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty his trio of generic, yet capable, [[#Weapons|weapons]] combined with the assistance of his helpful hardware make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
 +
 +
The Engineer is also capable of hauling buildings he has already constructed and re-deploying them in new locations, at the cost of a lower footspeed and being unable to use a weapon while carrying them. Buildings are vulnerable during the hauling process, as they will be destroyed if the Engineer is killed; they also need some time to re-deploy after being hauled.
 +
 +
The Engineer is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0328879/ Grant Goodeve].

*The Soldier's voice actor and the Engineer's voice actor have both voiced the character [[Wikipedia:Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf O'Donnell]] from Nintendo's [[Wikipedia:Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]] series: [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1653371/ Rick May] (the Soldier) in [[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]], and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0328879/ Grant Goodeve] (the Engineer) in [[Wikipedia:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]].
 +
*The Engineer is the shortest class in the game.
 +
*The Engineer wears his default helmet backwards.
 +
*The Engineer rarely removes his welding goggles. In fact the only official time his naked eyes were revealed was in the "Loose Canon" comic.
 +
**The character model actually has the goggles as part of his face. There are actually no eyeballs underneath them.
 +
*The Engineer designed and built the [[Sentry Gun]] under contract from '[[TF Industries]]' in 1965. The PDF manual for the game that is listed in Steam shows a blueprint and promotional guide to using the Sentry Gun.
 +
*The Engineer's favourite equation is in fact part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game.
 +
*The Engineer's equivalent in the original team of mercenaries BLU hired was supposedly Nikola Tesla, armed with a bag of blueprints instead of a PDA.
 +
*The song the Engineer plays during ''[[Meet the Engineer]]'' is titled '[[More Gun (Soundtrack)|More Gun]]', which is based on ''Someone Else's Song'' and was originally written by Jeff Tweedy of the American Country band ''Wilco''.
 +
*A photograph on the Engineer update page displays a young boy (presumably the Engineer) trying on his first pair of goggles, as [[Engineer (Classic)|the Engineer]] from  ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'' looks on proudly and pats him on the shoulder. This picture does create an inconsistency, as the original Team Fortress takes place in a more futuristic setting, whereas Team Fortress 2 takes place in 1968.
 +
*If the Engineer taunts with the Frontier Justice during the halloween event he'll drop Guitar Pieces when doing the Thriller Taunt.

“
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer; that means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'What is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems.
— The Engineer on his profession
 ”

A soft-spoken, amiable Texan with a knack for all things mechanical, the Engineer (real name Dell Conagher) chooses to construct and maintain Buildings that benefit the team rather than engage in much direct combat. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and Teleporters that quickly transport his teammates to the fray.

However, the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies; a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and in good repair at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty his trio of generic, yet capable, weapons combined with the assistance of his helpful hardware make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight.

The Engineer is also capable of hauling buildings he has already constructed and re-deploying them in new locations, at the cost of a lower footspeed and being unable to use a weapon while carrying them. Buildings are vulnerable during the hauling process, as they will be destroyed if the Engineer is killed; they also need some time to re-deploy after being hauled.

The Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve.

Trivia

Photograph of the Team Fortress Classic Engineer from the Engineer Update page.
  • The Soldier's voice actor and the Engineer's voice actor have both voiced the character Wolf O'Donnell from Nintendo's Star Fox series: Rick May (the Soldier) in Star Fox 64, and Grant Goodeve (the Engineer) in Star Fox: Assault.
  • The Engineer is the shortest class in the game.
  • The Engineer wears his default helmet backwards.
  • The Engineer rarely removes his welding goggles. In fact the only official time his naked eyes were revealed was in the "Loose Canon" comic.
    • The character model actually has the goggles as part of his face. There are actually no eyeballs underneath them.
  • The Engineer designed and built the Sentry Gun under contract from 'TF Industries' in 1965. The PDF manual for the game that is listed in Steam shows a blueprint and promotional guide to using the Sentry Gun.
  • The Engineer's favourite equation is in fact part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game.
  • The Engineer's equivalent in the original team of mercenaries BLU hired was supposedly Nikola Tesla, armed with a bag of blueprints instead of a PDA.
  • The song the Engineer plays during Meet the Engineer is titled 'More Gun', which is based on Someone Else's Song and was originally written by Jeff Tweedy of the American Country band Wilco.
  • A photograph on the Engineer update page displays a young boy (presumably the Engineer) trying on his first pair of goggles, as the Engineer from Team Fortress Classic looks on proudly and pats him on the shoulder. This picture does create an inconsistency, as the original Team Fortress takes place in a more futuristic setting, whereas Team Fortress 2 takes place in 1968.
  • If the Engineer taunts with the Frontier Justice during the halloween event he'll drop Guitar Pieces when doing the Thriller Taunt.
