:: I wasn’t clear, sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that perhaps adding the Pyro (or any class) model that appears in other games, to show the reader how does the pyro looks in the games in question. For instance, showing how does the Pyro looks in Killing Floor. Furthermore, perhaps doing the same thing in the List of References? Adding the character models next to the games that they appeared.

I consider this to be quite a confirmation enough to say that pyro is a woman. I've been on a many month break from TF2, but I know about the speculation and weird evidence for and against pyro being a woman. I'll be editing the article accordingly. --[[User:Maska|Maska]] 16:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Should we add that Valve seems to "toy" with us on the Pyro's gender? As from many things I've seen, heard, and discovered it seems Valve is trying to mess with our heads. One example would be a Post by a Valve Member (Robin Walker?) talking about the Pyro. He uses "he" twice then using "she" followed later by "he" again. The "she" was removed and replaced with "he" soon after. Another more recent and noticable would be the Humiliation Standing animation. [[User:Danton|Danton]] 06:02, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Pyro Cameos?

How about adding a small section in the gallery (or even a few pics in the current gallery) of the cameos that Pyro made in other non-valve games? As an example- Pyro, Spy and Heavy were featured as racing characters in the PC version of Sonic All-Star Racing. Yossef | Talk | Contributions 22:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Pyro's gender

I think it's noteworthy in the Trivia section that the game's file global_actors.txt located inside tf2_misc_dir.vpk lists tf2 classes genders and for Pyro it says "male". Mido (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Pyro's gender remains unknown until Valve reveals it, which will never happen probably · Ashe (talk) 21:09, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
This file has to do with voice lines for certain genders, such as the HL2 civilians. Nothing actually to do with the gender of Pyro.

Collective Noun for Pyros

I would like to suggest adding a Collective Noun for a group of pyros, similar to how its called a Murder of Crows.

Collective Noun suggestions: A Kindling, A Fire Hazard, An Asylum.

Angzarr Psyco (talk) 15:05, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's necessary, as a group of Pyros is pretty rare.

Well, they could be called a "drag", only because when you do see pyros together, it is to pull a sliegh (SnowVille), and a team that pulls a sleigh is called a drag. Sure! :)=

Nostromo Napalmer/Rainblower discrepancy

Both the Nostromo's and the Rainblower have small differences from stock, such as taunts, pyrovision, and instant Scouts with a certain set of cosmetics. Why is the Rainblower apart from stock but the Nostromo's isn't? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adeeta (talk) • (contribs) 2023-08-29, 18:30 UTC

Assuming you mean the weapon table, this is because the notes on the right have to include the Pyrovision stat, as that is active at all times. The only time the Napalmer is different is in a very rare scenario during Full Moon or Halloween. This effect is also a set bonus and not tied to the actual weapon.
