    Valve was looking at the wrong calendar and thought the 12th of February was a monday. When they noticed it was a Sunday, they had to change it to the 13th.

    Just a theory based on Valve being Valve

    What about the "13" up on the ceiling?
    It was a 12 before, but it was changed because Valve didn't wanted us to realise this:

    12 in reverse is actually... 21...

    Pyro's real identity was Roberto Clemente all this time!

    See that? That's a mutherfucking old west town, as you've all pointed out.
    You know what else had a fuckin' Old West Town
    http://www.teamfortress.com/loosecanon/08.html
    FUCKIN' LOOSE CANNON COMIC, MOTHERFUCKERS
    But that's all been known, right? You gonna rate me late, right?
    WELL RATE THIS LATE, MOTHERFUCKERS

    What was the Loose Cannon comic a teaser for?
    FUCKIN' ENGINEER UPDATE
    And do you remember what was on the very, very first motherfuckin' page?
    http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/v00.php
    SCROLL YO' FAT ASS DOWN THERE, SON. WHAT DO YOU SEE?


    THAT'S RIGHT
    THE 1800'S TF2 TEAM
    WITH PYRO AS MOTHER FUCKING ABRAHAM LINCOLN
    PLUS SOME OTHER STUFF ABOUT LINCOLN
    BUT WHAT ELSE DO YOU SEE?
    THAT'S RIGHT

    A FUCKING ROBOT DIAGRAM
    HOLY FUCKING SHIT


    WHAT DOES ALL THIS UNNECESSARY CAPSLOCK MEAN?

    I don't know. In the process of writing all this I totally forgot my connection between these things. But at least I'm pretty sure if I sat down and thought about it enough I could find a correlation between Pyro, Robots, Tobor, and Lincoln. Perhaps this could revive the Robo-Abe Pyro theory again?


    Either way it's speculation so it fucking counts as an on-topic post

    Give Clovernoodle a fucking medal. He made me go and do this:

    It's the best I could work with but seriously.
    The dent inwards where the knees join is there too, everything fits in to place. You could say pyro is a robot at this point BUT this doesn't quite explain the bleeding when shot and blown up etc.

    If the model wasn't so restrictive and would let me move the joints properly without restriction it would be a damn-perfect fit.

    what about if the pyro is kind of human-android like dragon ball z ones?(nº 16)...maybe that would explain the robotic-human aspect (blood, etc.)

    ps: sorry for my grammar, english isn't my native language.

    It is clear, Pyro isn't just a robot. He is Cyborg Lincoln.

    Clovernoodle you are an amazing genius.

    Suddenly a hole in my theory.
    Lincoln was 6'4"
    Pyro is not

    Go home everyone, I'm a false prophet


    Edited:

    Unless...
    UNLESS...
    The whole idea is that a bunch of Lincoln robots were created because someone KNEW that Lincoln was going to be assassinated (as evidenced by the Engineer Update page of the revolving seat in Booth's Theatre), and they were sent to pose as the president while the real one was given the third not-dyin' machine, and one of these Robots became the 1850s mercenary, after being rejected as too short, which crushed his little robotic emotions and sent him on a pyrotechnic rampage.

    Obviously he has no time to fight the Soldiers approaching- he must run off and find John Wilkes Booth, who stole the real Lincoln's not-dyin' machine, and now the Pyro must avenge his death!

       now I'm sad because my serious theories are melting away in my mind

    I think it says April 14th, which would make sense if he got the Life extender before he died on the 15th.

    No, people noticed beforehand, it's just that now all the Pyro conspiracy theories are starting up again, and since Lincoln is the original Pyro, that is relevant.

    I hope they add weapons and hats to TF2 this time instead of good costumes in MNC and bad hats in TF2 like last time

    What if Support's Heal Gun for Engineer, that doesn't heal his Teammates but heals his buildings (and steals health from enemies)

    Or Combat Girl's Heal gun for Medic that can heal multiple targets

    Or Karl's Sticky Bomb Launcher for Demo that stop moving when they hit a player, and bounce on the ground for a second before exploding.

    This year, expect the Saxxys to be much bigger and better, due to the imminent unveiling of another secret.
    well yeah

    I was thinking the Gunner's dual minigun with a LETS DO THIS TIKI STYLE taunt, and Veteran's Shoulder Pads as a misc.

    Although grappling people as the Heavy would be great.
