Grockets are crash-landed rockets bent to one side, with smoke and flames billowing out. They appeared on 2Fort, Badwater Basin, and Barnblitz on July 18, 2011.
The Grockets are part of 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 Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe.
On December 9, 2011, the Grocket model was updated to show three open doors with three ladders descending to the ground, where toolboxes are lying stationary.
