That red heavy was the only cult member to survive, he totally needs a redemption arc where he becomes pals with engi and sniper

In the universe where "Live and Let Spy" had it's bad ending

That pyro zealot was great. Love that each of the mercs had their own level of zealotry and didnt feel two dimensional. The spy being a skeptic, the fanatical pyro who offered his life willingly to the robot. The Blu soldier who tried to blow himself up. Made the characters feel more real

I love how they aren’t just some heros like other sfms would make them. Just normal people living in an abnormal situation and making the best of it. Best seen in the scene where they are at home.

Can we give credit to the soldier that literally pulls his own pins on the grenades to kill the robot in an attempt to save his comrades?

Poor Sniper. He couldn't even get past the first boss of Dark Souls.

i love the slow parts where you can see the life engie and sniper have managed to carve out for themselves in the wasteland. i think it's oddly sweet.

2:41 "Alice in Pyroland" lol, I love how detailed everything in this SFM is, I mean WOW. Please make another one of these

The one dislike is from the dead robot cult leader pyro

Is nobody gonna talk that heavy survived, long live the heavys

7:13 Me trying to get the last Pringle in the can:

The golden age of sfm happened years after valve abandoned it, that is definetly weird. Great animation, some of this shots were beyond valve quality, the animation and framing were so cinematic, it really immersed me into this short movie you prepared for us.

Cults in a nutshell: Cult leader: Our God has arrived!!! SALVATION IS AT HANDS!!! Their God: Yes, but actually no

I’m not gonna lie, if this is gonna continue as a series for a long time, I’ll be waiting every second for em😎

Big respect to blue solider who tried to save the others by giving himself up. Not even a moment of hesitation, he did what he thought he had too to save his friends.

Genuinely one of the best TF2 SFMs made. Brilliant setting, attention to detail, and animation on the robots (some SFMs have made them move too organically). The music is top-notch, and the characters and custom weapons all looked very good and were stylised enough to fit into the TF2 artstyle. Finally, the fight scene wasn't too one-sided, the cultists made a good stand against the robot, and made sound decisions, and I loved the engi vs jet-pack-pyro fight. 10/10, more please.

Pyro: no distinguishable words/dialogue SFM creators: reality can be whatever I want

When sniper says”piss off” the robot turns on, like “piss off” is the activation code. The titans demand you to ”PISS OFF”!!

Not gonna lie but this is one of the best tf2 animations I ever saw

1:20 a new meme has reborn.

Somebody has been influenced by the Terminator series.

I haven’t seen an SFM this good, action packed, and engaging for a while

1:47 DEMOSOUL

This sfm is just so good, I've watched it several times and it is definitely an instant classic. The plot, the cinematography, the sound, the map aesthetic. It's just incredible. Well done.

Ive never become emotionally attached to 2 characters in less than 4 minutes

Nice dedication and effort. Great work!

God i love your style when it comes to the robots. From their quick and precise movements of their heads to how the camera shakes each time they take a step, intensifying when close and lessening when far away. What has to be my favorite scene though is when the soldier, heavy, and pyro bots jump out of the drop ship and land with a camera shake and boom, all without bending their knees to handle the force of the impact or showing any other reaction. Then, they just walk away and begin searching like its a normal day. It truly shows that these things should be feared and avoided at all costs.

4:35 Thats when I realized Pyro's voice is a better alternative than a potential bad voice actor for all of those lines.

When a SFM has more storytelling then major Hollywood films, good job m8.

No seriously imagine a post apocalyptic survival game where the whole tf2 classes as your team for the roster. Imagine the interactions between them oml

I remember this was one of my first true sfm experiences, and after rewatching it I’m even more blown away by it’s powerfull beauty. Can’t wait to see the sequel, keep up the good work pardner.

4:47 İ dont even see a sniper that is very herotic supportive.

This is absolutely top tier SFM right there. Love the shot at 2:47 especially.

Still, still, bloody brilliant!

I love how when the robot came alive the cultists realized that they were wrong and tried to fight of they're wrongs and died in the process *except for heavy*

its nice to see two different teams teaming up and becoming friends dispite that there suposed to fight (edit) i also like how there hole live's arnt just scavenge and that wen there not going out to scavenge they just hang out.

This is legendary. People like you are keeping tf2 alive

These robots actually made me shiver. Just like how they were intended to. Great animation.

That Pyro's voice gives me shivers, so badass

this is on the level of end of the line I was glued to my screen the entire time beautiful work my friend

Man i love everything bout this, the sets are nice and detailed, the lightings very nice and the action / story is fun for a short

Imagine disliking this,like seriously. This is honestly one of the most amazing SFM animations yet,and i think it would be a wise idea for this kind sir,to open up apteron or something,so we can support him and hopefully make this into a series.The least we could do.

6:46 Was that a Skull Island reference?

Love how chaotic the battle became once it turned into Survivors vs. Cultists vs. Giant Robot!

When all of spies weapons are weak so they give him a smg and rocket launcher: 👁👄👁

"I'm not gonna lie. It wasn't easy." well no. but this video was *so* worth it. amazing job dude. you deserve a SAXXY award (or at least a medal) for your hard work

on god that slapped and the soundtrack added to the atmosphere perfectly.

I really like the use of custom weapons in this, as well as some classes using each other’s weapons (eg the hardcore believer RED Pyro using the Half-Zatoichi and the skeptic RED Spy using the Original)

6:03 translate: "Need a sentry here! Sentry ahead! Need a dispenc-! Argh!!!"

Somehow I didn't see this before but this is just simply fantastic. The fight seance at the end was so well choreographed and the Engi and snipers friendship is so well done. The dude fought a whole cult for his friend. I would love a sequel to this but I understand how hard animation is and that burnout is a thing.

Holy crap. Everything about this was so professional, so well paced. The characters, the lighting, the choreography, it was like an actual movie or... TV show? Look all I'm saying is, I wouldn't be opposed to a full series of this.

WE NEED A SEQUEL STAT! SOMEBODY GIVE THIS GUY SOME CASH TO FUND HIS PROJECTS!

Can this be a series? Pretty please? Pretty pretty please?”

Fresh SFM on my recommended, Now this is very cash money of you, KZfaq.

4:15 WHAT IS HIS PYRO HELMET I NEEED THAT

After watching the second one, I can say that no robot tops the Giant Heavy by a long shot. Amazing work but into both animations

Im so used to seeing so many shitpost animations for tf2 and this is actually has a lot of effort and quality to it

This SFM is so freaking good, I love it. For some reason I wasn't notified of this SFM before.

1:53 ah piss

If the saxxy award would be still running, this would be winner of 2020

I didn’t realize this was made by the same guy who made Ocskylla until it was over. Man am I disappointed in my lack of ability to recognize evil pyro cultists.

Hmmm that Red Pyro cult leader reminds me of another pyro cult leader you did... descendent coincidence?

Red and blu working together is a nice touch! Finally someone who pays attention to the lore!

The model work, the placement of props the world building this all just so good

God damn! These were one of the best 8 minutes of my life! Quality, sound, plot, action, everything's so well made! Congratulations! My respect. The plot is quite depressing tho, two enemies, BLU Engineer and RED Sniper had to team up, just to survive in the Apocalyptic world of robots. All of their other teammates have become the slaves of the very same robots. I absolutely love it. Thank you

_"I'm not easily impressed, but your art. Have impressed me."_ ~spy from pyro paints

great animation, everything felt smooth and natural. The choice of voice clips also made the dialogue feel very cohesive at well. If the start rating were still a thing on youtube this would have been and instant 5! fantastic work!

I don't see enough SFMs that have RED and BLU working together. Your style in animation was god-tier! Make more of this!

I'm still trying to beat the lord of pootis he is a hard boss

I love how the engineer was wearing a pip-boy from fallout lol.

*Fight choreography has reached lvl 100*

The style, the sparkle, the EVERYTHING!

7:23 The sniper's reaction after killing the pyro has the same feeling when a character kills the main villain.

I can't believe how long this took to make. For that reason, I'm not planning on making a sequel. But if this movie does well enough, then maybe. WDYM WE NEED ONE

Dude I would watch every single episode of this if this became a series

This is amazing. Every single frame feels like a masterpiece. Every shot is perfect, the animation is flawless, everything

6:28 who uses pogo stick as mobility? XDXD the deaths are funny.

3:48 I love how Demonman says "Your a Devil, a Devil!".

I love this SFM. So much time must've gone into this masterpiece.

It feels so weird seeing all the classes have different weapons cause I’m so used to see all the classes with their normal weapons

*Now I get to say I watched it 3 times 😎*

I only wish I could handle SFM this well, if at all.

The scout dropping dead Was really funny xD

5:05 for some reason spy using a smg is really epic

Spy: **can use an SMG and a rocket launcher** Me: _Wait that's illegal!_

I really want this to be a series, this is extremely well done

one of the best sfms ive ever watched, amazing from start to finish, never knew what was going to happen next, phenomenal!

great work man, I loved every second of it

This is one of the most amazing SFM, I ever enjoyed.

3:20 That's also how my heavy looks except he has a mohawk lol I absolutley adore how the author went by the limited voice lines with pyro to create a fitting story spoken in the film...well captioned

Words can not describe how much i would want endless rust to become a series

2:56 everyone knows this feeling, everyone.

That's the sort of video you never want to end, this is fabulous to see the effort put into that project

I love this SFM! The animation is so smooth and not stiff. You can also feel the emotions of every character.

This is fantastic! Genuinely one of the best storytelling sfm I’ve seen in a while

Terminator: 5 stars Tf2: 10 stars Also Dark Fortress I never thought that spy would be evil....I hoped he was good

This heavy that escaped 7:05 . I hope he becomes a good guy and joins an engineer and a sniper .

7:35 That random civilian from HL2?

Beautiful, absolutely stunning. Love the bladerunner/terminator - type aesthetic.

If TF2 ever continued, I could see the story going in this direction.
