Grordbort's rockets

“

Hold on, this isn't a missile...it's a rocket. A rocket full of guns. — The Soldier

Grockets are crash-landed rockets bent to one side, with smoke and flames billowing out. They currently appear in 3 maps: 2Fort, Badwater Basin and Barnblitz.

The Grockets are for the "Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack". The Grockets contain alien weaponry and hats according to the TF2 comic and TF2 blog respectively. The new items introduced from this were the Cow Mangler 5000, Righteous Bison, Lord Cockswain's Pith Helmet and the Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe.

At least one of the Grockets is named "The Sperm Cudgel IV", which departed from Venus.
