## History

### Unusual Troubles: Origins

In Soldier is trying to capture France, Soldier was watching TV but is killed by the BLU Spy, after he respawns he decides to capture France as revenge. He gets an item drop in the middle of his journey, he struggles to get the Minigun off of himself, the Heavy runs to him and spams a trade request before the Soldier deletes the Minigun. He then finds the Wizard Scout blocking his path, the Soldier calls the Sniper for help and the Sniper kills the Scout, the Soldier thanks the Sniper and resumes his journey.

Then he encounters the Engineer playing games on his Destruction PDA and orders him to build a Teleporter, he declines, the Heavy suddenly appears and asks the Soldier for his gun, the Soldier says it's in Engineer's Dispenser and later asks him to help him capture France, the Heavy agrees and summons Merasmus. The Soldier orders Merasmus to teleport him to France, Merasmus creates a door to France which the Soldier enters and finds himself surrounded by BLU Spies who find him handsome.

In Cow Eating Contest, The Soldier competes in the beef eating contest but gets second place because he focused on eating in a fancy manner rather than eating quickly.

In Tea time on gravelpit, The Soldier interrupts Engineer's tea time by destroying the box he's sitting on, later he says that everyone will be dead except for the Demoman, who he requests trading his hat for something the Demoman has. The Demoman ends up scamming him and steals all of his clothes and leaves him in his shorts.

### Space Cakes Saga

In Everyday Routine, The Soldier asks the RED Medic to turn him into a foot, the Medic gives medicine from his mouth which turns him into a boot. In his Foot of Freedom form, he approached Death Machine but was thrown away, to which he transformed back into regular form, holding his Half-Zatoichi Katana. They have a brief fight, Death Machine ends up disarming him and stabbed a fake version of him, before he revealed himself again, but Death Machine shot him in the head with a pistol.

Later, the RED Medic, and the Baguette Master found him, and 'diagnosed' him, pronouncing him dead. He then woke up, and protested, but RED Spy knocked him out with a Postal Pummeler.

In Spy is a Troublemaker, American Boot was inside a box which the RED Heavy threw on the ground and shattered on impact, he announces that he will haunt Merasmus' ass with his foot but the RED Demoman steals it. The Spy later scares American Boot, causing him to fall, he then gets a phone call which says he has gained his permission to die and is killed by BLU Spy.

In Not so Magical Events, Soldier was unboxing crates and finally gets the Dr's Dapper Topper, Hatless Spy then asks him to trade his hat for his Miss Pauling TV, initially he declines but upon seeing that she creates drugs he accepts but steals the TV and doesn't give his hat back. Hatless Spy steals his hat and hijacks RED Sniper's van to escape. American Boot tries to get on top of the van but RED Demoman knocks him off for not having a ticket.

He then requests help on a telephone but a Scout on the other end declines, so American Boot threatens him with a Frontier Justice and he complies. A box of dynamite appears beside Soldier and detonates, sending him flying. Soldier lands and encounters RED Medic, he tries to get him to help get his hat back but he is too fascinated with Miss Pauling to care, once Soldier bothers him enough he kicks him out. Soldier sees Hatless Spy driving on a bridge and destroys one of the van's wheels with his rocket launcher, causing it to crash into RED Pyro.

Soldier gets his hat back then repeatedly kill each other and fake their deaths with the Dead Ringer, RED Demoman stops this by pulling a plug that makes the entire map vanish.

In Soldier's Magnificent Adventure, Soldier plays a game on his tablet, gets frustated and tosses it away, he then tells the RED Scout about his grenade and the Scout eats it. American Boot makes some coffee and drinks it but is startled by the Administrator who tells him to capture the control point. He heads out with his Beggar's Bazooka and decapitates RED Pyro on the way, he rocket jumps to the control point to attack Control Point Spy but is gunned down by BLU Sniper, Spy then blows up American Boot with a Sticky Bomb and flees with the control point, however, American Boot faked his death with his Dead Ringer.

He then gets a crate and opens it, he finds a treasure map and gets eaten by the crate. After respawning he orders the RED Engineer to build a boat, when it does not meet his expectations he kicks the Engineer out of the boat with his Loose Cannon and embarks on his own. He then stops at an island where he gets kidnapped by Scout tribe members who try to eat him but he is saved by the Engineer, American Boot then apologizes to him about earlier and gives him the map, who he throws into the ocean.

In Unusual Troubles, American Boot shows RED Scout a magic trick but it ends up putting his stuff on fire so he grabs a fire extinguisher and runs to save his stuff, later he is seen doing "American exercise" which consists of squatting, Baguette Master throws his bucket at him and convinces him to help capture Control Points along with Scout, he agrees and they head out to the first point. They encounter a BLU Engineer with a Sentry & Dispenser nest, American Boot trades a pistol for some scrumpy with a Demoman inside of Spy's bucket and guns down the Control Point Spy in the sky who falls down and blows up the entire Sentry nest, they capture it and move onto the next.

They encounter Death Machine who has escaped from Engineer's reality warping toolbox, American Boot transforms and Death Machine laughs at him, American Boot gets furious and kicks him which defeats him. Next they encounter Mecha Medic at the last point. After a difficult battle they celebrate with a freeze frame of them jumping.

In Morning Events, American Boot is first seen in this episode sitting with the RED Engineer who asks him if he wants to teleport cake, to which he disagrees. The RED Heavy then appears and shows them RED Medic's drugs he stole and they begin using it and getting high. He then wakes up only to witness Baguette Master slapping Tracer and Widowmaker's asses, he tries to kick RED Pyro onto him but he manages to duck under him, American Boot tells him "No buttfucking!" And the Spy suggests they dance and they begin dancing.

The RED Medic interrupts them and orders them to push the cart, however American Boot sits on top of the cart and orders Medic to push it instead, they stop at the RED Heavy blocking the cart's path, American Boot tells him to move but he refuses to, before he can do anything to Heavy he is killed by Merasmus's DeLorean that suddenly appears and takes Baguette Master back in time with Merasmus. American Boot, RED Engineer and RED Medic then mourn the Heavy's death.

The Administrator announces that they have 10 seconds left to push the cart, American Boot gets desperate and grabs the entire cart and runs along it's trails but he gets tripped by the Administrator and this causes the cart to fall on his head and kill him, the cart then explodes.

In RED Team's Usual Day, American Boot slaps a videogame out of Bat Scout's hands and then shows him the sensual Spy with a big cigarette, Miss Pauling and FemScout. Bat Scout then twists one of his grenades, making his helmet come up and reveal a Demoman's head under it, American Boot steals Scout's hat and runs away into a house made of said hats, Bat Scout fights the swarm of flying Demomen heads and defeats them all, he congratulates his own victory until getting kicked in the nuts into space by American Boot.

He later comes back to capture the point, but it appears to be broken. The RED Engineer, RED Medic, and American Boot are interrupted when they try to fix it by the impending rocket launch, by the Haunted Pyro with Duck Head. They then fight the Haunted Pyro with Duck Head, and win, stopping the rocket by throwing a cake at the button.

In Extraordinary Weekend, American Boot makes a minor appearance, first getting his neck snapped by Miss Pauling once she barges in McSoldier's, then firing the RED Spy for his incompetence in the restaurant.

In Very Unusual Troubles, American Boot gets woken by his MeeM alarm clock. When he exits his apartment, he encounters the RED Demoman and RED Heavy drink vodka until they pass out, American Boot insults them both. He demands they drop their pants, and Merasmus arrives in his Cadillac, which American Boot steals, and drives away. He then receives a phone call by Captain Scout, who tells him the S.S We're Done Sucking Juicy Cocks is about to launch, before firing the cannons. American Boot narrowly avoids incoming missiles from the sky and calls RED Medic for help, and him and his crew crash a boat into the S.S We're Done Sucking Juicy Cocks. American Boot then refuels his car with BLU Sniper's gasoline which causes it to explode and send him flying away.

He lands near a BLU Engineer with a Miss Pauling Sentry, who proceeds to shoot American Boot, but the Sentry is sapped by Baguette Master and it is turned into a RED Sentry, which kills the Engineer and then blows up and a full-body Miss Pauling is revealed. The BLU Summer Hat Brothers then show up, but in their upgraded form, "Mecha Spies". After a fight, the RED Team eventually wins.

In Extremely Unusual Troubles, American Boot mostly has minor role, he first witnesses a kinky BLU Engineer and calls the RED Medic to tell him he will talk about said Engineer later to him, which Medic disagrees to. Later he is seen playing an oversized chess with RED Heavy which Time-Bending Scout interrupts, American Boot and Heavy make fun of Scout before telling RED Demoman that he's racist, Demoman becomes angry at Scout and sends him flying by charging at him. He shows up again to show Baguette Master and Time-Bending Scout his rocket spinning around while singing You Spin Me Round, they promptly get very disturbed by what they see and Scout even begins drinking bleach, Baguette Master slaps him so he stops already and takes him to a gameshow. American Boot manages to answer correctly the question and wins cash from the Spy, however he challenges him to play poker, Soldier agrees but loses all of his money to Spy.

They play more games to bet their money again but are interrupted by Telephone Heavy in his "Mecha Heavy" form, so they must fight him. In the midst of battle, Telephone Heavy bites Time-Bending Scout's clock which causes American Boot, Scout and Heavy to be teleported across time. American Boot is transported back to the events of Spy is a Troublemaker, and he is knocked down while inside of a box by the RED Heavy. He kills the RED Demoman, Merasmus, and the Hatless Spy. The Space Cakes notice this, and send BLU Cake Engineers to deal with him. Then, Future Soldier appears, and says "Come with me if you want to live".

In Catastrophically Unusual Troubles, After Future Soldier asks him to go to the future, American Boot agrees, but before Future Soldier can use his Teleporter he is crushed by a pillar which was shot by a Cake Engineer. American Boot takes the Teleporter and travels through time, he finds the RED Spy and Merasmus traveling through time as well, from the events in the video Morning Events.

Upon arrival in the past, in the events of Soldier's Magnificent Adventure, American Boot sees his past self and the RED Engineer boarding a boat. Present American Boot then knocks out the RED Engineer, revealing a cake on his head. The cake then electrocutes him and flees. American Boot uses Demopan's Stickybomb Launcher to gun down the cake. American Boot places the cake plate onto the Teleporter, which opens up a door in front of him, leading to the Space Cake headquarters.

American Boot has a fight with the Master Cake, and loses to Death Machine once he is summoned, but is revived by a time traveling Archimedes, and kills Master Cake by kicking the cake off of his body in his American Boot form, and then shoots him, killing Master Cake. This causes the Reality Injector to be compromised, reverting back to the events of Spy is a Troublemaker. American Boot then celebrates his victory by dancing.

American Boot is seen again in the video 'Extravagant Picnic', where he fishes, cooks, engages in a brief battle with Billy Bob-genieer and eats mushrooms. These cause him to hallucinate, and after the RED Spy hits him with a baguette, he believes the campground is 'crap', and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the RED Sniper extinguishes the fire quickly, and (presumably) kills American Boot. This all turns out to just be a book, and it leads into the events of 'Extraordinary Weekend', with the RED Sniper calling for pizza.

American Boot appears again in 'Saturday's Troubles', and has mainly gag roles, up until the fight with Joker Scout. He attempts to shoot the Joker Scout with his shotgun, but is stopped by Joker Scout, who interrupts him. Time Bending RED Scout unfreezes time, and along with RED Spy, they fight. Eventually, he knocks out the Joker Scout by turning into a boot, crushing him.

His last appearance to date was in the video 'RED Team goes to Japan', where he and RED Scout go to Mann Co. to claim a free package of some kind. RED Heavy and RED Spy come along, albeit unwanted. American Boot comes up with the idea of going to Japan in a box, 'like men'. American Boot, whilst on the plane, leaves the box, and goes to look around. After looking out the window, and discovering they aren't heading for Japan, but Canada, he hijacks the plane and steers it for Japan.

After a short while, the plane malfunctions and breaks, so RED Team grab parachutes and jump out. They all make it successfully to earth, but RED Heavy gets hit by a car, and RED Scout is hung in a tree, and has to be shot down. While RED Heavy, and RED Scout do their own things, American Boot and RED Spy go to a club. RED Spy leaves after being confronted by a Japanese Heavy, and that's the last time he is seen before the fight scene.

American Boot jumps in, saving RED Scout from Death Machine's slash. After going back and forth, the RED Spy appears with a tank made of baguettes, and fires a disco ball towards Death Machine, showing 5 dancing baguettes. This leaves Death Machine distracted for long enough for American Boot to kick him and knock him out.

American Boot has won many medals including the Purple Heart, the Orange Star, the Green Clover, the Blue Diamond and the Big Golden Army Ball of Bravery, all referenced while he is telling Merasmus a secret in his bus at the episode RED Team's Euro Trip.

In the episode RED Team's Euro Trip, American Boot, Time-Bending Scout, and Red Spy go to Europe to meet American Boot's Father and have sex with Batman(?). They use Merasmus's Bus and the Texan Pain Train, which fights Snort Railway in a train battle to get to Paris, where the episode ends off.

Upon arriving, American Boot says that since Spy knows this location, they should get drunk. However, when Scout asks to join in, Soldier rejects Scout, saying he's not 21 (Editor's note, he has been confirmed to be 26). American Boot parties the night away with RED Spy, however, upon getting back to their drop-off point, realize that they lost their tickets, which cannot be given to Ticket-Master. Ticket Master tells them 'No ticket, no ride' laughing as the train pulls away. After a brief period of time, Miss Pauling shows up, and they are taken to Germany, where American Boot's father is. He gives them his money, however, it's not long before Golden Heavy shows up, and American Boot, Spy, and Scout are forced to fight, and defeat him. They do, with American Boot summing up 'All gave some, gave all, but nobody got a prize but us'. Their dad tells him that he's proud of him, as they leave to go back to the Lumberyard, America.
