This I found interesting

One of the first (albeit short-lived) ideas that was being thrown around was to try to recreate a look of claymation for our game. The idea was to make the world look like a miniature set built for clay figures which animated and gibbed into chunks of clay.

he totally should have had a kilt.

 

[tschumann]

claymation hey? that could have been quite interesting.

 

[Jintor]

It looks like a few of his looks were either stolen from Captain Boomerang or went right back into the Sniper. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[FISHY CRACKERS]

That's very interesting.

 

[Omnomnick]

Pretty cool

They really have got it stuck in their heads that all Scottish people are Ginger =\

 

[Xendance]

A nagging feeling that perhaps the embracing of the archetype was a little to generic. Perhaps a little too much like a groundskeeper in Springfield

 

[Operational]

Fixed.

If TF2 had been claymation, maybe it would have looked like this ...
