Pyrogun

"*I can't see a thing! What just happened?! Better open fire!*"

**Pyrogun** is a robotic RED Pyro TF2 Freak created by retired YouTube user OluapPlayer.

He has an originally composed theme made by Geshtro.

## Appearence

Pyrogun is a Pyro-Sentry Gun hybrid, who appears as a RED Pyro wearing a Virtual Reality Headset, a Triboniophorus Tyrannus, Moonman Backpack and Dr. Grordbort's Crest. He is equipped with a level 3 Sentry's rocket launchers on his back, and his right arm is a Sentry minigun barrel. Despite his appearance, Pyrogun is completely robotic and has no biological components.

## Biography

Pyrogun was created by a duo of RED Engineers in Mountain Lab to serve as a defense against two overpowered members of the BLU team: Dr. Enforcicle and Tommy Gruvich. Pyrogun managed to kill Tommy Gruvich, but Dr. Enforcicle used a Dead Ringer fake his death, and after Pyrogun lowered his guard, he sent him flying after shooting his air tank.

Some time later, Pyrogun was repaired, but his body became faulty and glitchy. While training his aim against a trio of MeeMs, Pyrogun had his head exploded by BLU Gentlemanly Demo. Pyrogun shrugged off the damage of this attack, being indifferent toward his headless state (actually being more worried about having spare ammo), and followed his Engineer master as they watched the fight between BLU Demo and Gentlemanly Demo. When the two Demomen failed to defeat Rick the Adventure Horsemann, it was Pyrogun who beat him by using his sapper launcher on the giant robot-ghost's head, destroying it. He was declared the winner of the duel instead of the two Demomen.

A few weeks later, Pyrogun befriended a Paintraingineer and decided to serve as the bodyguard for his laboratory. However, after he was knocked down and defeated by a squad of Thieving BLU Soldiers, Pyrogun quit the job out of frustration.

Some time after, Pyrogun came into conflict with Robot Engie, having a brief duel with him. The two would later unite against Soldine, who insulted them, but both were defeated. Pyrogun particularly angered Soldine, who blew his body up into pieces. Pyrogun's remains were then salvaged by Pencer, who proceeded to create a giant copy of the robot to be his servant in his Mecha Army, while the original Pyrogun proceeded to respawn elsewhere and resume his activities. Once Pencer's plans begun to come to fruition, Pyrogun would be confronted by Pencer's creation, the Giant Pyrogun-bot, who proceeded to attack him, Ninjineer and Heavy Sumo Guy in 2Fort. The trio would succeed in destroying the giant doppelganger of Pyrogun with great difficulty, with Pyrogun himself delivering the final blow with his sapper launcher.

Shortly after the battle against the Giant-Pyrogun bot, the trio would come to face-to-face with Pencer, who then killed Heavy Sumo Guy and gave the citizens of 2Fort the choice to join him or to die permanently. After Pencer left, Pyrogun, along with Ninjineer were then forced to flee to parts unknown when certain freaks began a conflict with each other, since they took advantage of the inability to respawn to get rid of those they hate. As of now, Pyrogun's whereabouts are currently unknown and that he is still on the run with Ninjineer.

## Personality and Behavior

Pyrogun is a comic relief character whose primary personality trait is his indifference; unless personally provoked, he ignores most things going on around him, dangerous as they might be. His only concern seems to revolve about having ammo to spare, and is known to complain about his bad eyesight.

He is emphatic towards Engineer buildings, particularly Sentry Guns (largely due to being half-Sentry Gun himself), and is known to politely ask Dispensers for ammo. Therefore, he holds a particular distaste for Spies due to their ability to sap buildings. Out of obligation, he is obedient towards Engineers, though his concept of understanding teams is somewhat skewed; he obeys *any* Engineer or Engineer-themed Freak so long as they are not BLU-teamed, though he is ultimately only loyal to his original creators and may leave the side of other Engineers at any moment, particularly after stressful moments.

When in combat, Pyrogun can become cocky and arrogant, especially if he manages to knock an enemy down. More often than not, surviving enemies can use this to their advantage.

## Powers and Abilities

Being a robot, Pyrogun is highly durable, surviving being directly hit by explosives and even surviving being decapitated without much problem. His arm can change into different kinds of weapons, his favorites being a sentry gun's barrel and a Phlogistinator. Pyrogun's Triboniophorus Tyrannus pet acts like a mini scout for the robot, serving as eyes for his back.

He has access to several weapons, including miniguns, flamethrowers and rocket launchers. An unique weapon in Pyrogun's arsenal is a sapper launcher which is hidden in his minigun, allowing him to sap and disable buildings and electrocute enemies.

As a Pyro, he seems to have a natural resistance toward fire and heat, shrugging off Robot Engie's incendiary eye lasers as if they were nothing.

## Faults and Weaknesses

As he is primarily comic relief, Pyrogun's fighting prowess is dubious at best.

* He suffers from severely bad eyesight, often not being able to tell where his enemies are.
* His air tank is fragile, and damaging it may send him flying through the air wildly. This typically results in the eventual explosion after crashing, which is effectively a defeat.
* Unlike most firearm-wielding Freaks, Pyrogun's ammunition is not infinite, and in fact runs out rather quickly. He needs to manually look for ammo boxes every time it depletes.
* Despite his metallic armor, Pyrogun has no melee weapons other than slamming his enemies with his minigun arm, which can be slow and inefficient against agile targets. In addition, he has barely any melee combat training, which puts him at a severe disadvantage against close combatants.
* Like a Sentry, Pyrogun can be sapped by enemy Spies.
* Finally, his cockiness and attitude can leave him vulnerable for ambushes, tricks, or deception.

## Trivia

* Pyrogun is voiced by the Defective Turrets from *Portal 2*.
* Pyrogun possesses a BLU-teamed doppelgänger in the form of BLU Pyrogun. He is unaware of its existence.
