If You Build it... They Will Die

 

*Whoops, forgot to add an addendum to this when I discovered that the TF2 Engineer Update items/achievements currently available for view are all fake! Awesome, but sadly fake nonetheless. Sorry to anyone who's been confused by this. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted when the real deal is made public!*

The fine folks developing Team Fortress 2 have released the first note on the long awaited and final character update - The Engineer. His first new item will be The Mothership! A miniature hydrogen (ka-boom) powered blimp that can be controlled by the engineer as a mobile dispenser.

Downside, it doesn't replenish metal and health as fast as the stand-alone dispenser, but no more deconstructing/rebuilding for those ever vigilant on-the-move engineers. Also, The Mothership can explode from fire, which means bad news for anyone using it when an enemy shoots it, but wait, doesn't that mean the engineer could use it as a potential weapon?! Muhahaha... time will tell.

Here's the blurb straight from the Engineer's notes:

Mobility has always been a pain regarding my equipment. Whenever the team advanced, I had to disassemble everything in order to keep up. And when the team pulled back, the same thing would happen. Disassembling and assembling, mounting and dismounting! Gah!

However, Project #25 solved this conundrum! It doesn't replenish metal and health as fast as the good ol' Project #24, but I can use a remote control to move it around as I wish...

...One thing to keep in mind; this beauty doesn't run on helium but hydrogen. It certainly doesn't satisfy safety regulations, as any enemy shooting it will make it go KA-BOOM!
