This is very good and stylish, great taunt

In case the second flair is changed after all, can Heavy gun the engine while fire shoots out the exhaust pipes? I think that would not only be even more fitting, but also give it a Mad Max vibe too.

that is so funny add it valve

Another taunt made it in, but this still is such an amazing one I was hoping could join too. Maybe as another update, it can have full range of motion to allow it to move both forwards and backwards like other taunts. Demoman got multiple vehicle taunts, so many the same can happen to Heavy too.

@Sparcdoctor "No one uses Gloves of Running Urgently? :("

I normally don't use them. But they can be good if the situation calls for them. I normally am busy gunning down my opponents. So if I wanna be a faster Heavy, the GORU can be pretty helpful.

Really happy this taunt got an update. Hope to see it make the cut still. And to everyone complaining about accuracy, TF2 itself isn't fully accurate anyway. The internet came out sooner than IRL in the TF2 world for one. And Australia was said to have more high-tech cities thanks to Australium boosting everyone's intelligence, but also making them more reckless.

You could give said texture to more fitting vehicle, but you've chosen probably the least fitting one anyway.

No one uses Gloves of Running Urgently? :(

would be good to give heavy a soviet-era truck or one of those russian army vehicles with big wheels, and the car must have a place to put his sandwich and his minigun.

It's cute and all, but Heavy would definitely be more likely to ride some Soviet-era motorcycle.

This is stupid and doesnt match heavy at all. Hes the last class that would be riding and doing dumb stunts

No, just no, a monster truck isn't very fitting to the Heavy.

[Quote=DangerousArmyGuy]For those saying that this wouldn't fit Heavy, I can see this as being a gift from Soldier and Engineer[/quote]
Soldier makes poor financial decisions so often that he is basically a hobo. Enginner, while being well mannered, basically cares only about pyro.
This taunt won't fit heavy because:
Monster Trucks are considered American things, and were invented in late 70s.
Animation is too "jumpy" for his character.
Heavy isn't type of guy who would do anything for fun, he usually does things only if they have actual usage.

point is g.r.u color

reminds me of Moments with Heavy: Heavy takes driving license

I'm sure he would, but not like this. He's man enough to use his own bare bear hands.

So you're tellin me Heavy doesn't like to crush his enemies?

That's not what "not fitting" means
It doesn't match him as a character

For those saying this wouldn't fit Heavy, I can see this as being a gift from Soldier and Engineer to Heavy. With Soldier insisting on giving him it, but Engineer was worried he may not like it. Though Heavy found it enjoyable when he gave it a try.

Great animation and model, but it does not fit the game style nor the Heavy. Seems forced.

Can't be contained

, it's just too wild for the game

joking aside, no amount of animation revisions can fix this

I'm surprised Richard's against vehicle taunts

we dont need more vehicle taunts for christ's sake

Intro needs to be more fluent

I just watched the v1.1 video. Looks a lot better! Well done everyone.

I love that album

i think we have enough vehicle taunts as is. Aside from that, your item is not badly designed, but i do not think heavy is the type of person to have an interest in monster trucks, let alone the kind to drive a small toy one around.

@neveroddoreven you ok there buddy?

do we need more vehicle taunts can we please pelase please Stop StopS TYOP GET OUT OF MY HEAD

The flip animation looks pretty rushed, I dunno how to describe it but it looks too fast & uncomfortable. I don't know quite whats wrong with it though.

YES
ADD ME

It's pretty good but it doesn't fit heavy

i like everything about this mod except for the flairs

This is fantastic and I love it. Keep up the good work.

Aren't monster trucks typically an american thing? If you're gonna give heavy a vehicle taunt at least make it relate to him somehow. Other than that this is pretty well made aside from the second flair looking kinda stiff

Really cool, although I feel like this vehicle is more fitting for the soldier lol.

This is really cool actually, A few tweaks to the animation to smooth out the rough edges and I'd say it's almost guaranteed to get in

That's perfectly fine, those were just my suggestions, I do appreciate you two for reading my feedback regardless! I didn't realize that Heavy was the actually pulling the Truck to spin.

Disregarding what I just said about "realism", things in TF2 tend to be exaggerated, and I think if the Heavy spent a little more time in the air during the spin, it could look better, alongside a few other touch-ups in the animation here and there.

I guess the Flipping Awesome taunt would be a good example of that, as the characters take some time to do their flipping animation.

The idea is Heavy is lifting the Truck itself to backflip

I like the model and the idea, but yeah, the animation is a little rough. I don't know if a backflip would even be ideal here, maybe another action when using the Left Mouse Click.

Heavy is too big, plus he is inside on a miniature-esque Monster Truck, I assume both of those things together would weight a lot, so it feels weird that a backflip is executed.

I know realism doesn't need to be always applied (this is a game where a fish deals more damage than a weapon entirely made of a metal, after all), but anyway.

Maybe something like the Hot Wheeler where he aggressively shows off his car, maybe horn, and shows the metal horns with his fingers, I dunno.

I've said it once, I'll say it a million times if I need to.
Every class needs at least one chair taunt and one vehicle taunt.

Based pootis mann

cool concept and models, animation is quite rough and could look so much smoother

The flip looked really rough

The reason is there isn't a way to export facial animation to TF2 workshop hence I never bother to animate the face. Some workshoppers I talked with said that's Valve's job. Seems we forgot to add facial animation just for the promo video.

While this is an amazing taunt, I have some criticisms to it. From the preview alone it seems to lack flair/personality. Sure the Heavy does a cool somersault flip with it, but we barely see any expression/personality flow from him in general. I think what'd help is that if you took inspiration from how the Engineer tractor taunt does it, and have him occasionally do quips and yell out. Outside of that, good work.
