The texture of Tobor.

Tobor is the name of a scrapped texture that was found in the props_training section of the GCF files, which were added as part of the Mac Update. It is unknown what the texture was planned to be used for, but it was speculated to be part of the Engineer Update as some form of Sentry Gun replacement or upgrade, as it shows what appears to be the tubes, eye, and metal casing of the Sentry Gun.

The texture of Tobor has been removed from the game's files as of the Engineer Update and is no longer found in props_training. Its inclusion in props_training suggests it was supposed to be used in a training map. No official mention has been made to the existence of the texture by the TF2 team.

Trivia

  • Tobor was originally created as part of a content dump. It wasn't supposed to ship into the game, as it served no purpose.
  • Tobor is "Robot" spelled backwards, hinting at the texture being for some sort of robot used for training. [1]
