All ya dandies prancin' about with yer heads fulla eyeballs! Click to listen — The Demo-bot

”

Demoman Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies. They are mechanical versions of the Demoman, with a single eye and 6 batteries strapped to their chest in place of the Demoman's normal six grenades.

Normal Variants

Demoman

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Demoman	Grenade Launcher	—

Your standard run of the mill Demomen wielding Grenade Launchers. They often appear in large numbers and can pose a great threat to anyone unlucky enough to be caught in their hail of grenades.

Burst Fire Demoman

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Burst Fire Demoman	Grenade Launcher	95% faster firing speed  -50% clip size  75% slower reload rate  +3 degrees random projectile deviation  Does not fire until fully reloaded

This variant of the demo-bot can fire its grenades much faster than the standard one, but can only fire two of them before having to reload. These robots are quite rare and they do not often appear in large numbers. Because of its vastly increased firing rate, a player can be killed or heavily damaged by one of these robots at a quicker speed than a normal Demo-bot.

Demoknight (Type 1)

Icon	Name	Secondary	Melee	Attributes
	Demoknight	Chargin' Targe	Eyelander	3 seconds of 100% critical chance on kill

The Demoknight is a robotic counterpart of the human Demoman. A "sword-wielding maniac" appearing less often than normal Demoman robots, it uses the Chargin' Targe and the Eyelander, allowing it to quickly cover distances by charging with the innate ability of its shield. This makes them more dangerous up close, but still unable to attack from distances due to the lack of the Grenade Launcher. If several players are close to it, it can go on a critical rampage, gaining three seconds of 100% critical chance on killing a player.

Demoknight (Type 2)

Icon	Name	Primary	Secondary	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Demoman	Ali Baba's Wee Booties	Splendid Screen	Persian Persuader	Sultan's Ceremonial	3 seconds of 100% critical chance on kill  100% increase in charge recharge rate

This rare version of the Demoknight possesses the One Thousand and One Demoknights loadout, but it is otherwise identical to the more common variant of the Demoknight.

Samurai Demo

Icon	Name	Secondary	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Samurai Demo (Type 1)	Splendid Screen	Half-Zatoichi	Samur-Eye	1.3x larger in size  650 HP  +2 seconds charge time  +600% recharge rate  +130% jump height  +50% damage dealt

The Samurai Demo is similar to the Demoknight, with an exception that it possesses a Half-Zatoichi and a Splendid Screen. Their charge behavior consists of jumping high upwards, disorientating players. They then begin their charge, circling their target's head and making it even harder for them to retaliate. Their Half-Zatoichi will restore their health if they kill a player, though the majority of their kills are often with the shield bash itself. These robots are slightly larger than normal Demo-bots, but it is not considered a giant robot, and so it will still receive buffs over time as it carries the bomb. It is also vulnerable to Sappers, which can stop it from jumping upwards when it tries to charge. It can be killed in one hit with the Half-Zatoichi or a backstab, like a normal robot.

Icon	Name	Secondary	Melee	Hat	Misc	Attributes
	Samurai Demo (Type 2)	Splendid Screen	Half-Zatoichi	Samur-Eye	Menpo	1.3x larger in size  650 HP  +6 seconds charge time  +600% recharge rate  +130% jump height  +100% crit chance

A slightly different verson of the Samurai Demo that have more charge time and wear the Menpo. Although they do less base damage, they are critboosted to compensate for this. Their shield bash does standard damage, however.

Giant Variants

Giant Rapid Fire Demoman

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Rapid Fire Demoman (Type 1)	Grenade Launcher	3300 HP  +50% knockback resistance  +25% faster firing speed  +140% faster reload time  -50% movement speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Rapid Fire Demoman (Type 2)	Grenade Launcher	3000 HP  +50% knockback resistance  +50% faster firing speed  -50% movement speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

A giant version of the regular Demoman robot that shoots a volley of grenades. There are two sub-variants: one fires 25% faster and has an infinite clip like the Giant Rapid Fire Soldier, while the other fires 50% faster but has no reload bonus, has 300 less health and must fully reload its clip before firing.

Giant Burst Fire Demoman

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Burst Fire Demo	Grenade Launcher	3300 HP  +60% knockback resistance  +90% faster firing speed  +7 grenades in clip  +35% faster reload rate  +10% projectile speed  -50% movement speed  +5 degrees random projectile deviation  Does not fire until fully reloaded

A bigger, badder version of the Burst Fire Demo that can take out a teammate in a blink of an eye. Its stats are the same as its smaller counterparts and the Giant Rapid Fire Demoman, but its clip size is increased to 11 grenades instead of the normal 4, making it a very versatile robot. Don't forget to be aware of the grenades' knockback. He doesn't have reload bonuses and should be very vulnerable during his reload phrase. Be very cautious when he's lock and loaded, however, he's dangerous even at long range.

Giant Demoknight

Icon	Name	Primary	Secondary	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Giant Demoknight	Ali Baba's Wee Booties	Chargin' Targe	Eyelander	Prince Tavish's Crown	3300 HP  +50% knockback resistance  3 seconds of 100% critical chance on kill  -50% movement speed

Wields the Eyelander, Chargin' Targe, Ali Baba's Wee Booties, and Prince Tavish's Crown. This is just a slower, bigger, and tougher version of a regular demoknight. He can still charge, but not as far due to his slower speed.

Bosses

Major Bomber

Icon	Name	Primary	Hat	Attributes
	Major Bomber	Grenade Launcher	Prince Tavish's Crown	40,000 HP  +30% knockback resistance  +70% airblast knockback resistance  Extra +90% vertical airblast resistance  Regenerates 200 HP per second  100% crit chance  +80% faster firing speed  +70% faster reload rate  +200% clip size  +50% faster projectile speed  Provides 90% less rage  -68% movement speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

An extremely large Demoman giant. Although this robot fires grenades that are always critical hits. Similar to the rapid-fire giants, this robot will not fire until it has a full clip reloaded. When it does, it will shoot out all its grenades in a rapid succession, killing anyone unaware or too close. Extreme caution is needed to take this robot down, as it has a massive pool of health, health regeneration, and critboosted grenades that can prove fatal. This robot appears as the boss of the mission "Disintegration" (Operation Mecha Engine, Decoy).

Sir Nukesalot

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Sir Nukesalot	Loose Cannon	1.9x larger in size  50,000 HP  +60% knockback resistance  7.0x damage dealt  +20% explosion radius  +100% crit chance  -65% movement speed  -50% clip size  -20% projectile speed  2.0x slower fire rate  -80% slower reload rate  +5 degrees random projectile deviation  Does not fire until fully reloaded

This mechanical monster is practically a giant Demoman wielding (real) cannons that shoots out sentry busters. His grenade's explosion gives the same smoking effect as the sentry buster's explosion. The smoke is large enough to Cloak this robot's large body. His grenade deals enough damage to kill anything class in one hit or fatally wound him. Fortunately, Nukesalot's clip size is halved, reducing the amount of grenades it can fire at once. In addition, its grenades have a significantly increased fuse length and he fires slower, an experienced player can time his shots and use the opportunity between his fire time to attack him or even Ubersaw him for quick uber. This robot appears as the boss of the 6th wave of Hamlet hostility (Operation Two-Cities, Rottenburg), although he's not the final boss of that mission. He's accompanied with Spies and Engineers.
