yeah just jarate on dude's parade. do you even reference brah?

umm... The Machina? The Diamondback? All that Deus Ex Stuff? it's like this.

Those are more... rough and not so shiny and glassy and plastic.

But you also have to admit that even though it is shiny and plastic that they could make those things back then.
Secondly there is the fact that the demo man is a character who already works beyond the fields or realistic for the time period the game is set in. There are demos who prefer to play as demoknights and you never saw those kinds of things back then. Also they didn't have anything like the scotish resistance or the normal stickey launcher. Both of those items are unrealistic for the time period, but we generally accept them as normal for the game. Also all of the items the medic have are of simmilar design so I wouldn't be surprised if the Engi and Medic came together to help rebuild the Demo.
Lastly it this is a game and the item looks cool. Why, should we care about staying realistic? I would much perfere to have items that not only look cool but, reference shows that I love. Along with that it is a cool replacement for the demo's non-exsistant eye, that like most other people, try to use as a fun way to change up the look of the demo. So, Who Cares. All that really matters is that it looks aweome and that it was made by the community.
P.S. Thank you to the creator of this item. You deserve a big BOOOYAH. Please keep doing what you are doing because it looks amazing.

Wow, I wasn't expecting a sh!tstorm like that. Just so you know, I don't think it's a bad item, just that it's a bit... silly, let's say.

I think this will be the ultimate

What about in Tron? that was in 1982 and they had a similar thing going on.

this looks awsome hope they add it

This is from Teen Titans.... You're all idiots... Huehuehuehueuehuehuehue

It seems a bit too sleek for me. Round, partially transparent, shiny, intricate patterns, cyborg head... That sort of robotic sci-fi wasn't around during the times TF2 is set in, back then they had Grodbort-esque sci-fi.

Also it looks kinda plastic.

I'm one to say keep it, as Tron happened in the 80's and that was WAY trippier

Still infringes on intellectual property rights, would be way too expensive to put in game.

Also it doesn't fit the artstyle quite right.

it may fit the art style but also its pretty wacky so yeah

(Im sorry, I just had to do that. It was too tempting.)

Yeah. also I think it should be a set. A cool Halloween set
