The Heavy-bot

Heavy Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies.

Normal Variants

Heavy

Icon Name Primary Attributes
Heavy
Heavyweapons Minigun
Minigun


Your Standard Production Heavybot, manufactured by Gray Mann. These robots are similar to the normal Heavy: big, tough, and pack a punch. The regular Heavy wields a Minigun, ripping anyone who dares to come too close to shreds. The Heavy robot often comes in small to medium sized waves, often accompanying other robots as support.

The Heavyweight Champ is a pure melee variant of the Heavy robot, wearing the Pugilist's Protector. Although restricted to melee range, these robots often come in gigantic numbers. The Heavyweight Champ comes in two different types. The first type will wield the Killing Gloves of Boxing. These types are aggressive and, if not carrying the bomb, will seek out nearby players to punch and kill, gaining a crit-boost from their K.G.B. upon killing a player. The second variant wields the Gloves of Running Urgently, allowing them to move faster but receive Mini-Crits; these robots will often ignore players entirely and make a beeline for the bomb instead.

Steel Gauntlet

The Steel Gauntlet is similar to the Heavyweight Champ in the fact that it is a pure melee variant; however, the Steel Gauntlet can take an incredible amount of damage from ranged weapons due to its Fists of Steel and increased HP. They often appear in large waves and are sometimes assisted by other types of robots. The Steel Gauntlet often does not pose a threat to the players directly but instead by being a potent and resilient bomb carrier. Using melee weapons can make short work of Steel Gauntlets as they take double damage from melee sources, though the player will have to be very careful not to let the robots mob them.

Heavy Mittens

Icon Name Melee Attributes

Pictogram minus.png 60 HP


The Heavy Mittens is another pure melee variant which possess increased speed and wields a permanent crit-boosted Holiday Punch. Spawning in small groups, they are unable to deal any damage, however any hit from them will force players to stand still and laugh, making them easier targets for other robots. They have been known to "Mob" players by ganging up on them, or to hang around a single laughing player and stun lock him. As such, it is advised to get rid of them before they get in melee range. Having only 20% of a typical Heavy robot's HP, they are fairly easy to destroy.

Deflector Heavy

The Deflector Heavy functions similarly to the regular Heavy robot, with the added benefit of being able to shoot down incoming projectiles that are in flight. It is discernible from the regular Heavy robot by its U-clank-a and green tracer firing effect rather than the usual yellow/orange.

Giant Variants

Giant Heavy

Pictogram minus.png Cannot see past 1200 units


The giant Heavy is a giant version of the regular Heavy. It wields an overclocked Minigun that can do 50% more damage. The Giant Heavy acts largely the same as the regular Heavy robot and is often accompanied by various Medic Robots.

Giant Deflector Heavy

The Giant Deflector Heavy has all of the added benefits and negatives of the Giant Heavy, as well as the ability of its smaller counterpart to shoot down incoming projectiles. Like the Deflector Heavy, it can be identified by its U-clank-a and green tracer firing effect.

Giant Heater Heavy

Heavy heater
Heavyweapons Huo-Long Heater
Huo-Long Heater
Pictogram plus.png 5000 HP

While lacking the regular Giant Heavy's high-powered Minigun, this robot has no maximum sight distance and is impossible to approach without bursting into flames.

Captain Punch

This juggernaut of a Heavy is a walking tank with fists. Its extremely large health pool, combined with regeneration and innate ranged damage resistance from the Fists of Steel means it will take a lot of firepower to destroy it. Don't get too close, as it will surely kill any class nearby in one hit. A Spy can pull off several backstabs (make sure you have fully upgraded the Armor Penetrarion upgrade) before being attacked. The Dead Ringer can solve that particular problem.

Unused content

  • The GRU Heavyweight Champ has a second, unused icon that was present in the game's files since the Mann vs. Machine mode launched.
  • The K.G.B. Heavyweight Champ originally had a RED fist icon similar to the GRU Heavyweight Champ's, but it was later changed to BLU.
  • Disabled code for the Heavy Mittens indicate the robot was to be 35% smaller and have the Point and Shoot and All-Father equipped, causing it to resemble a garden gnome; the code name for the Heavy Mittens is actually T_TFBot_Heavyweapons_Gnome.
  • Three unused variants of the Giant Heavy exist: one with the Brass Beast, one with Natascha, and one with the K.G.B. called "Super Heavyweight Champ".

Trivia

  • The Heavy Robots have a custom taunt in which they start flexing their metal muscles.
  • An early version of the Heavy Robot's head can be briefly seen in the Engineer Update (teaser).
