this is to get attetoin
i think it shuold be a special melle wepon
when you attack someone the dog/chiwawa would attack the dog/chiwawa would attack that serten player
or maby something with when you throw a bone it goes there

there should be a choice to keep them as sentry powers or make them as a sidekick that will do 50% less damage but follow you everywhere and still have guns

this would be like adding a tenth class TF2 is becoming more like cod every day dog will definitly add to it

Its good to have a discussion like this, but I wanted to point out first and foremost - these are not sentry guns :) They do not fire and we are not proposing they fire. A moving sentry gun is a bad idea :)

What these are:
Something that looks like a sentry gun only until its activated.

When activated they chase down enemies and do melee damage only (biting)

The models parts and skins look the way they do because we've taken the sentry gun parts, skins and re-arranged them to look like dogs and added in as few parts as possible. Its supposed to be believable that these are transformed sentry guns :)

I think for stats it needs to be split a little bit, and used more for battle Engineers as engineers get most of their damage from turrets. So what i propose is:
Little Dog (Level 1)
- Uncovers one spy when near (and by near i mean almost bumping into them) and chases them yapping
- Doesn't actualy do damage but marks a single player for death
- Has level 1 sentury heatlh
- Moves at scouts speed

Big Dog (Level 2)
- Nolonger uncovers spies but deals more damage
- Gives conecutive damage untill destroied
- Other classes get speed buff from taunting near the animal for 5 seconds
- Has health that is between level 2 and level 3 senturies
- Moves at Heavies speed (Unless buffed)

my idea
the bulldog is an ai contoled metal gloves (idk its a heavy meely) heavy wifh a slight speed boost (lets say about the speed of a running gloves heavy) wifh only a yump attack (you know he will stand still for a second or a half and than yump in the direction you stood when he started standing still) the thing will activate on command (a right mouse button to the sentry wifh your shotgun out or pistol) or when the holo bullets fired for 3 seconds in a faster changing rate than the righ shotgun distance of walking from original point inicated by chain (yes phisics based sorce engine cain) wifh the length of 1.2 times the 2fort bridge (btw indicator for dog or not a small peace of chain on the base of the sentry)

chuwwawa
basicly the bulldog wifh some changes
1 the chain is 1.5 times the 2fort bridge
2 its a ai controled scout wifh a bat
3 the yump attack makes a fricking lot of noise when started
4 the price of a mini
5 it can yump to reach places (lets say i want my chuwwawa to go from roof to roof and a scout can do that he can do that too)
6 when piced up and the holder attaced it will drop off and at the cost of a wrench swing and 10 metal be activated

i agree toast

toast you are right

my favorite thing is chiwawa

How about:

Bulldog:
Replaces Sentry
Loos like Sentry until activated when a spy saps it or until activated by DPD
Costs the same amount of metal as a sentry
Has the same amount of health as a sentry gun for it's equivalent level
Runs at same speed as a Pyro. Maybe a little faster.
Deals 30 to 60 damage.
Maybe inflict Bleeding Damage
Just looks meaner with each lvl.


Chuwawa:
Costs the same as Mini Sentry
As same health as Mini Sentry
Gunslinger Equilvalent of Bulldog
Follows Engineer
Runs at same speed as Scout
Deal 20 to 50 dmg
Maybe inflict Bleeding
Cannot be upgraded

watch this
large one
+80% more health
+30% more damage
+50% bullet resist
+rage's when health is 25% or lower
+80% fire damage resist
+can turn into a sentry based on level
cause's beeding
30% more damage
-runs slower than a heavy
sapping disables it
-50% more damage when sapped
can get rekt if not careful




small one
health of a mini
+80% faster speed(MUCH faster than scout
+50% faster attack rate
+attack rate increase's as it dose damage to one enemy
+can doge some projectiles at close range
-has low health
-20% damage
dies when sapped
-can kill it self in a fit of rage
while suicideing can hurt team and enemys

maybe the little on moves and attacks like a scoutsand barks and follows spys
big one moves at a soilders speed and has 200 health and explodes when does

How about, it starts off as a normal sentry, but the sentry deals less damage than usual and has less health. But if you take out your PDA and press the reload key, it transforms your sentry into the dog. The higher leveled sentry means the more damage the dog will deal and the more health it will have. You can transform the dog back into the sentry at any time so it is a great alternative to carrying buildings. The dog moves as fast as a scout at level 1, as fast as a spy at level 2, and as fast as heavy at level 3. Mini sentry dogs will move a bit faster than the scout. The higher the level, the slower it becomes. When the dog is chasing someone to attack them, it will start barking loudly.

The dog will normally chase people but if you pull out your wrangler, you can command it where to go by pointing the wrangler at the chosen spot then pressing your attack key. You can also make the dog lock on to a chosen enemy such as that annoying pocket medic that just CANT SEEM TO GO AWAY! Using the wrangler will make it have a shield around it which will make it take a little less more damage from all sources. If you put away your wrangler, the sentry dog wont disable, but it does make it unfixable for a short time.

It cant attack invisible spies like normal sentries and will continue to attack ubercharged enemies like normal sentries. Wont attack disguised spies, as usual.

Spies sapping the dog will be much harder since you will have to be close to the dog in order to do so and that will alert the dogs attention.

It is basically useless if you're going to want to keep your sentry up or use your sentry for defense. But it is great if you're going offensive engie with gunslinger.
-Heres a short little combo for an offensive, gunslinger engie:
Whip out your mini sentry quickly, then transform it into the dog. Once its complete, grab your wrangler and make it target the enemy you want dead. Then once its chasing that enemy, whip out your shotgun or what ever you're using as a weapon and damage them while they focus your dog.

Hope you enjoyed my wall of text on the item. :)

i'd say its just like the developer intended it has a range of where it hits chiwawa is like the minisentry less hp but and a big butt it has a lot more range. the big lug has less range but just lets say 30 hp less than a lvl 3 sentry and moving them would be like a normal sentry but i'd say they could take damage while you move them

kinda like commanding them to move but the can't attack and they can be attacked
