The Plan
There are many things I'm hoping to pitch for possible future MvM updates.

New robots:

-Giant gunslinger engineers that spam infinite mini sentries behind them as they walk. You must be quick to kill the sentries, while also dealing with the Engineer quickly or the map will be overrun.

-Gary Slaughter, a giant robot Soldier with a wizzard hat. Rather than a rocket launcher, he carries a spell book and throws deadly Halloween spells, like skeleton or monoculous spawns, or even fireballs.

-Battle drones, a new tank variation. Large, armored drones that behave like a tank, except they fly. They have appendages with saw blades on the end that they will swing at players who get too close. They also have mounted guns. Weapons can be damaged and broken off. There could be maps where they fly across a chasm, and mercs are forced to go around to keep up, adding a layer challenge to dealing with them.

-Saxtron H413, a full fledged boss battle, complete with different abilities and attack patterns.





Two new variations of MvM gametypes other than just stop the bomb.

-Engineer has taken parts from tanks and robots and has built a tank designed to breach bases. You must escort the tank to an enemy factory and keep it safe from attacking robots. Plays kind of like a multi section payload map, except the payload can be destroyed.

-An arena style map in an enemy base. This map focuses more on survival, as the mercs are in the center of a large room with a few props here and there for cover. Waves of robots come in from all sides, and the goal is to survive. If the team gets wiped, the wave resets. On the final wave you fight Saxtron. This is one where Medics would definitely be important, and something you can't afford to let die. It would probably be a place where you would want 2 of them.





As for rewards, apart from new australiums, there is an additional reward that I've yet to fully disclose. More to come.

This is where i realize that the real saxton hale thinks that the 9 mercs are gods. but really their just people with good guns that some are skilled and some are as dumb as the soilder in the comics

What if killing Saxtron you have a rare chance of getting one of his hand cannons as a reskin of the mini gun, I just thought it would look cool if heavy could use it.

How about a boss similar to that one giant Demo in Titanuim tank which launches nukes at you?
