Meet the Pyro
Meet the Pyro Titlecard
Video Info
Released: June 27th, 2012
Run time: 2:32

Pre-Release

In March 2010, Robin Walker revealed in an interview with the KritzKast Podcast that Meet the Pyro will let people see the world through the Pyro's eyes.[1]

In a blog post[2] telling about upcoming events in the game, the TF2 team confirmed Meet the Pyro would be released sometime in 2012, and also released a shot of the video.

In an interview on Gametrailers.com's "Bonus Round" during March 2012, Erik Wolpaw announced that Valve had recently finished the production of Meet the Pyro and that it would be released "soon", along with something else.[3]

A short clip of Meet the Pyro was teased in Valve's video "Perpetual Testing Initiative", showing the part of the video teased in the first released picture. [4]

Video transcript

Notes

  • The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the Meet the Team videos.
  • The matchbox on the title card has a picture of the Balloonicorn on it, foreshadowing the one seen later in the video.
  • Unlike the other Meet the Team videos, Pyro's card doesn't just cut away to the film. Instead, the card burns away, and then the film plays.
  • This is the last Meet the Team video, presumably concluding the series. To emphasize this, Valve has simultaneously released the Source Filmmaker, the tool used to produce all the movies.
  • The song played when viewing the world through the Pyro's eyes is called Template:W by Template:W. As the Pyro is walking away from the burning town, he whistles the song.
  • The weapon the Pyro uses to shoot the Scout is the Scorch Shot, which was released in the Pyromania Update.
  • The Demoman is wearing the old "dynamite stick" class emblem.
  • During the outro class portrait, in the third and fourth frame, the Engineer, who happens to stand next to the Pyro, has a worried facial expression.
  • The Axtinguisher can be seen at the end of the video.
  • Near the end, at around 2:12 in the video, we can see a hard hat on a burnt body, on the right, hinting that the body is actually the BLU Engineer.
  • After that, around 2:17 in the video, a burnt corpse with a headset can also be seen, suggesting that the body is the late BLU Scout.
  • Also around 2:17, the Fireaxe can be seen embedded in a dead Heavy.
  • The unicorn seen through Pyro's eyes was added to the Valve Store as an inflatable balloon under the name "Inflatable Balloonicorn", which also contains a TF2 item code.
  • The Pyro's new items, the Lollichop, the Rainblower, the Burning Bongos, and the Infernal Orchestrina were introduced in the video.
  • According to the closed captions on the official video, the RED Scout says, "He's not here, is she?" following Valve's rule of not referring to the Pyro by a specific gender. However, he clearly says "he".
  • Meet the Pyro along with Meet the Medic, are the only Meet the Team shorts that do not take place in an Official TF2 map.
