Team Fortress 2

The Suction Cup Sentry Gun
Stats that I think are balanced. They probally aren't.
Pros:
20% Faster turn rate
180 Degree Turning
+50% Build Time
Can Be Stuck Onto Walls and Celings
Will attempt to shoot stickies in its range

Cons:

Can be knocked down if suction cup is shot.
If knocked down, the Sentry is immobilized, and takes minor damage.
If knocked down, the Sentry can be picked up and moved back onto any wall or floor.
Cannot be taken off unless suction cup is forcefully removed (Via Boolets)
Upgrades are minisule (Level 2 Doubles fire Rate, Level 3 adds a grenade launcher, akin to the Demoman)
Upgrades are removed if knocked down.
Sappers are 2x as effective, but the suction cup cannot be removed during sapping.
The thing is as loud as hell.
150 Metal to build.
-25% HP

Powerful, but I think it's balanced. It would be a very complicated weapon by the way.
I'd think it's more of a security camera sentry. Think scottish resistance sentry.

So:
no upgrades.
10% slower build.
Faster turn.
strong as level 2 sentry
150 to build.
Sticks anywhere.

I wonder the possibility of a jarate shooting sentry? (I'm starting to like this even better. No damage, just jarate, infinite ammo, non healable, sticks anywhere)

maybe if you had tiiimezombie's idea with the security and whenever you have your wrench out it would show a little window in the corner of your screen and the metal counter ( shows how much metal you have ) would be just above it
The main gimmick with this verison is that it's powerful, but more of a glass cannon. It shoots stickies, it has the same power as the regular sentry, and fires demopillz. However a sniper can basically one shot it if it isn't hidden well enough.Possibly remove the Loud as hell attribute and we could have the next minisentry. Where its OP if used correctly.

Perhaps removing the 3rd stage and just making the lvl 2 bullets stronger would be enough. Plus with lvl 2, you could have 2 barrels pointing opposite directions so targets are easier to shoot at.

Insted of a "suction cup" it can be a drill or someting to grab in to the walls or cellings and maybe only level 1 and 2 sentry and slows you really bad wend you grab the sentry one of those can be help full for you?

Model has a suction cup. Scution cup it is and shall remain

I liked the drill idea, so the sentry couldn't be moved.
On 2nd level it could shoot mini-stick-bombs in a small range, stickies are triggered on sapping or when enemy get inside that range.
Other thing I thought was something like +150% faster firing rate, -75% damage.

maybe instead of not being able to move the sentry you could just have them have -75 speed so it wouldn't be easy to move them and players won't want to move them

when picking the sentrys back up
The sentry cannot be picked up without damaging it first
The engineer would have to shoot the sentry's suction cup to dislatch it.

Maybe it could have two modes. A menu pops up in level up to Lv.2 that would be like this:
Mini-Sticky: Fires small sticky bombs that do 75% damage of stock stickies. Right-click Wrangler detonates like Scottish Resistance
Jarate Dispenser: Squirts Jarate at enemies that lasts 3/4 of the regular Jarate. Can be reloaded by Snipers by right-clicking with Jarate in hand
Both still fire regular bullets (like Lv.3 Rocket/Turret) but 10% slower
I'd use this

No. I don't mean to be a ♥♥♥♥, but that'd be too overpowered for an item that can stick to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ celings.

I guess you're right

Any plane with enough space (wall or ceiling even) may accomodate it.
Level one has no weapon, but plays sound that only the engineer can hear if it detects an enemy (Suction cup base).
+75% swivel speed.
Silent.
Level two has one level two chaingun and needs to spin up before firing.
The animation transition between levels one and two remove the suction cup and drill into whatever surface it's planted on.
Level three has a larger, minigun-design chaingun.
The gun is unremovable now from its position, as more drills have been embedded into whatever surface it occupies.
The engineer still hears the beep when the sentry spots an enemy, and the enemy can hear the gun spin up before firing.
