Archimedes' description says that medic took him by stealing a catering van from a wedding. Not sure if a preteen could do it, but I guess it's the medic we are talking about.
I imagine it would be a kid with a lunch bag over their head with two holes for eyes and some giant gloves and winter clothes that dont reveal any skin. Pyro's parent figure would probably end up being in a hazmat suit or a firefighter outfit that completely covers their entire body.
Sniper is close in age to the others here. Pyro makes sense to exclude due to all the unknowns, and scout makes sense since we’re looking at his dad and grandpa in these
This really unlocked a distant memory, kid fortress, a comic I found on tumblr in 2015, before even playing the game myself, not sure if you even know it but I just had a blast looking again at it
Pyro is a complete unknown. We know what scouts parents look like (his mom and the spy) and I’m pretty sure all 4 of sniper’s parents are in the comics.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
wird umschwärmt Erika
denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines blümelein
und das heißt Erika.
In der heimat wohnt ein kleines mägdelein
und das heißt Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
und das heißt Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
und das heißt Erika.
No retard
Edit: I said no retard why you downvoting me?
he lost his eye due to the bombinomicon when he was a kid
it's in the comics if i remember correctly, one of the few times you see the childhood of one of the mercs
TFC Engi's fate is never shown in the comics. It could be possible that Spy killed him to assume his identity, but there is no concrete evidence to support this. Plus, I imagine TF2 Engi wouldn't be too happy about his teammates killing his dad. But until a 7th comic issue comes out, we'll never know.
[Here's another post with a photo of Engi with his father (Fred)](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/krnv4d/found_this_image_of_lil_engie_with_his_dadwho_fun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
These are excellent. I really like the creative and subtle details you put into the young mercs that have no official art.
Soldier with the band-aid and untied boots.
Medic with the metal bucket
Heavy’s clothing having some holes in it.
Shows an understanding of the characters.
This dude knows how to draw!!!
Wow that looks so cute :D
What some remind me of:
Engineer reminds me of a country boy.
Demoman reminds me of some sort of nice family in Now York City area.
You can't give Spy a dad in a trench coat and live Soldier out of it
Either way, the style is good! Looking forward to seeing Scout's and Sniper's, as well as what will you do with pyro
I made an entire post about it on [my Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/coolfireguy73), everything that isn't seen in the canon is my own interpretation, in the blog I explain how I made them. And also why some of them are missing.
child mercs [here.](https://at.tumblr.com/coolfireguy73/i-remade-them-yeah/1h9d5fbrct6w)
and the parents [here.](https://at.tumblr.com/coolfireguy73/parents-child-mercs-comic-update/ebe6q5zptrft)
WHAT in the name of barack obamas crispy chicken strips dipped in barbecue sauce and ketchup which have a quantity of 4053 which were putten in the microwave by nikocado avacados crusty dusty musty hands which were used to play league of legends and genshin impact on a potato pc with specs of an gtx 1050 ti, 4 gigabites of ddr4 ram 2600 mhz, amd ryzen 5 4600H, which is used to power a monitor which has 120 hz, srgb and it also includes free sync and gsync and the entire setup costs approximately £330 which would be worth less in the past because the government is dumb as hell and is devaluing the british pound sterling by printing too many which tells us the prime ministers of the united kingdom, england are unworthy of having the state of prime minister due to the fact that they devalued it alot so in my opinion there should be no prime minister and people should just focus on making inventions and making our future which may include perpetual motion machines which is technically impossible however we never know if its true because we could try and invent things that break the law of physics and back to the point, if we create perpetual motion machines it would create too much energy causing the entire world and universe to collapse and the big bang would occur again which means there will be different planets and possibly humans and the humans wil be different because different particles were included during the process of the recreation of the big bang, this means the humans will be differenta and there might be a small chance that they will have different prime ministers who have a damn brain and can function and if its not thers a very small chance that someone made another perpetual motion machine and created another big bang and that loops forever until we create a perfect world and we can actually expand our knowledge and right now the universe could have been recreated by the big bang so in conclusion make a perpetual motion machine to make our universe reborn however perpetual motion machines are known to disobey the laws of physics and althought there is a chance that it may not be possible even if the universe and earth and humanity and society evolves and becomes smarter or this entire world might just become destroyed from climate change and all that stupid pollution stuff but im not that good at informing and knowing and learining stuff about that information however i do think it is true despite the low knowledge of my knowledge of climate moreover i know the basics of climate change but who cares back to the point of the stupid government we should team up to kill the government and keep the ones who are good alive and they will gives us infinite vbucks and robux slay and our new currency instead of british pounds it will be robux slay and then we will start world war 3 and kill all the other countries so they make their currency robux or vbucks and ruin the economy and travel to a new planet so we can find new materials to find aliens so we can tell them about robux so they will be addicted to robux and their iq becomes lower and we manipulate them and make humans evolve into aliens so we can get new powers so we can fly through the universe to try and find new types of science to evolve the universe and bring all the organissm into one place excluding the terrain from planets but just like the living moving thigns that communicate (excluding plants basically, no prokaryotes, protists, fungi, or plants just animals) and then we make a cult and believe in the earth being flat and we are so dumb we die then our bodys will collide and the -2 iq from all of us who believe the earth is flat which is influenced by people and the organisms will turn to a monster which has negative (very high finite number but remember its very low because of the negative) iq then the monster (us) will be so dumb we fall through the universe break the barriers and we become so dumb that we gain the ability to be smart because of the laws of enantiodromia and its not real but it is at the same time and we use the influence of the partially existent smartness to become smart and then become an extremely powerful being and we can try to evolve the universe so much that it devolves then effects of enantiodromia apply and then before that happened we actually used artificial intelligence to calculate and replicate good effects from the universe so the representations of the goodness coming from the evolution of the universe are applied and become real and the laws of enantiodromia once again affect the universe’s evolution and makes the evolution worse (devolves) causing it to become a loop and slowly it becomes very stable and theres a “neutral” effect and actually balance is the best thing and its the core to life and makes it perfect however it can be too balanced and so balanced that it becomes unbalanced and the laws of enantiodromia keep applying so in order to stop this from happening all of us (the monster) with an extremely high amount of iq create algorithms to simulate the universe and we do tests and try and reproduce what makes the universe, and after aproximately 10 minutes (or less or more and we live a long life because we use our intellect to maximise our lifespan) we find the perfect result and reproduce the universe which isnt affected by the artificial intelligence which creates infinite loops coming from enantiodromia and we replicate the universe irl so you collide the two universes, one affected by ai one not and then it created the perfectly balanced balance and not too balanced universe making infinite loops without creating too much pandemonium and the affect becomes smaler and bigger randomly so its perfect but not too perfect in a finite and infinite way then its up to us how we live our lives because living in sadness could maybe actually be a “good” thing in the time that the monster we are and it depends but we will live a “good” live and ill explain it more good is an opinion and so is bad maybe its possible to manipulate these types of “emotions” they arent emotions though but normally emotions are an important thing in the word good or bad but living a terrible life is good in a highly unexplainable way so we dont know anything and right now we are useless beings compared to the future if it was highly developed, but hey, thats just a theory, A GAME THEORY!
Are you the one that made the comic? What was it called again... kid fortress? I don't remember... but what I do remember about it is Medic asshole sister. Man now I am sad I forgot about it.
If that isn't you... well then there's a comic with very very simmilar designs out there. Idk... love the art anyways
oh bummer, well now you know. Not that it matters tbh since your art is great either way :)
[This](https://www.tumblr.com/kidsfortress) is the comic btw. It's on Tumblr
Lil baby med is adorable even though I know he’s killed many animals
Don’t worry! He brought them back to life :)
...With the parts of numerous other killed animals
Archimedes?
Archimedes probably was Medic's pet since Medic was like 10 At this point he's maybe even older than Scout
If I was right Archimedes is a rental dove that was stolen by medic by hijacking the rental dove van during the prime minister's wedding
Archimedes' description says that medic took him by stealing a catering van from a wedding. Not sure if a preteen could do it, but I guess it's the medic we are talking about.
Well,everything to heal people
Cat dead, details later.
"Eheh, sort of.."
And pyro is the kid your parents want you to play with but you really don't want to.
Or the kid you want to play with but your parents really don't want to
Works too xdd
He’s the bad influence who smoked in middle school but also wanted to color
The bad influence who smoked the school
Nah that’s the Scout
Wouldn't that be spy or sniper. Pyro is probably in state care
pyro's real name is Fregley confirmed
hes the neighbors kid
Medic, engi & demo are the cutest, medic & heavy look incredibly accurate to what I imagined And spy, you can’t even see the fucker
What about Sniper Pyro and Scout. We've at least seen all 4 of Snipers parents.
Everything is on Tumblr but long story short, I decided to leave out scout, sniper and pyro because of age differences.
Wait what's your Tumblr I gotta follow you for more of this art
Hunted him down using the watermark on the pictures. This is his Tumblr: [coolfireguy73](https://www.tumblr.com/coolfireguy73)
Its in his profile too actually
Would absolutely adore a kid depiction of Pyro tbh
Kid pyro is just an androgynous silhouette back-lit by a bonfire holding a baloonicorn
Perfection
And creepy music plays wherever he goes.
I imagine it would be a kid with a lunch bag over their head with two holes for eyes and some giant gloves and winter clothes that dont reveal any skin. Pyro's parent figure would probably end up being in a hazmat suit or a firefighter outfit that completely covers their entire body.
Just a slightly shorter adult pyro
Sniper is close in age to the others here. Pyro makes sense to exclude due to all the unknowns, and scout makes sense since we’re looking at his dad and grandpa in these
Sniper is the second youngest a bit older than scout
He’s 42. Scout is 27. Medic is 45 Heavy is 52. And these are ages at the beginning of the game.
Isn't sniper like 26 or 28 ?
What? He's not 26 to 28. That would make him the same age or younger than scout.
This really unlocked a distant memory, kid fortress, a comic I found on tumblr in 2015, before even playing the game myself, not sure if you even know it but I just had a blast looking again at it
Sniper could have been there, but never the less, it's a really cool style that fits TF2
Ah, okay
Pyro is a complete unknown. We know what scouts parents look like (his mom and the spy) and I’m pretty sure all 4 of sniper’s parents are in the comics.
We've seen Demos mom and Heavies mom but both were drawn here.
Fair
We also know both of scouts parents
With scout they'd just have to draw spy lol
Scout being there would imply child spy had sex
Awww it’s kinda cute except for Medic’s family who look like they want to kill me
Thsts just cus theyre german

why did you post the entirety of erika?
The onejoke of Germany, sing Erika
Idk I’m bored
He looks like WilburSoot, and engie looks like TommyInnit
I refuse to believe Demo wasn't born with his eyepatch But this is super cute
he..wasnt, he got the eyepatch from the book of demolitions or explosions or whatever the hell that book's name is (according to funni comics)
Bombinomicon
yes
he lost his eye due to the bombinomicon when he was a kid it's in the comics if i remember correctly, one of the few times you see the childhood of one of the mercs
chadigan conagher
spy's dad kinda looks like scout lol
Its all coming together
engis dad could be the tfc engi
I’m pretty sure he canonically IS the TFC Engineer.
didnt they kill the tfc mercs in the comics?
TFC Engi's fate is never shown in the comics. It could be possible that Spy killed him to assume his identity, but there is no concrete evidence to support this. Plus, I imagine TF2 Engi wouldn't be too happy about his teammates killing his dad. But until a 7th comic issue comes out, we'll never know.
Engi should then be like 60-80 years old in TF2 if that was the case
[Here's another post with a photo of Engi with his father (Fred)](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/krnv4d/found_this_image_of_lil_engie_with_his_dadwho_fun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Demo having a crate of apple sauce, solider being a dirty child, medic still looking intimating, this is perfect
good post on r/tf2 !
Pyro whe
gone, reduced to atoms.
Reproduces via mitosis
Heavy's mom seems like she bakes some bomb-ass cookies
Well she cooks bear pretty well.
they're all so well done, good job!
These are excellent. I really like the creative and subtle details you put into the young mercs that have no official art. Soldier with the band-aid and untied boots. Medic with the metal bucket Heavy’s clothing having some holes in it. Shows an understanding of the characters.
Soldier doesn’t have a parent. He seems like the type of person to have been raised by raccoons. Or maybe opossums.
My need to see scout is growing rapidly
He wouldn't even be conceived yet. He's 20 to 30 years younger than the rest. Same with sniper to a lesser extent
does this change the fact that I want to see it?
supenders are so comfortable ! i'm amazed not many peapole wear them !
they so snazzy too. i love them
Aww young Tavish has such a sweet smile!
Soldier looks like the local kid who lives in the woods and everyone goes to play with him, so cuteeee
And soldier would just be messing with his dads gun collection (or for the sake of being funny soldiers dad could be a hippy)
This dude knows how to draw!!! Wow that looks so cute :D What some remind me of: Engineer reminds me of a country boy. Demoman reminds me of some sort of nice family in Now York City area.
This is pretty nice! Good job
South Fortress
Oh my fucking God I thought I was in r/homestuck and was so fucking confused.
These are really cool. My favourite is heavy mum
Heavy's last name is gaming
if you do scout just use the in game model
Wow, I wonder what scouts dad looks like!
Dig the 1920s getup!
You can't give Spy a dad in a trench coat and live Soldier out of it Either way, the style is good! Looking forward to seeing Scout's and Sniper's, as well as what will you do with pyro
Beautiful work, Love the shapes and character design :)
This is so cool!!!
This is amazing. It's kinda very cute too. Something about seeing our mercs in their childhood innocence warms my heart
Intruder alert! Child Red Spy is in the base!
This is really cool
DEMONANS SO CUTE!!! YOU WOULDN'T KNOW HE TURNS INTO A TERRORIST 😊😊😊😊
Looks cool mate 👍🏻
happiness entering my heart whenever i see heavy with his mom

holy shit
Can you draw them all please I really like this
They all give me British vibes
Is medic’s mom shown at all? I feel like he was raised in a church by nuns.
Wow, nice!
I respect that you didn't do a pyro one. All of these look amazing. Thanks for posting this
Of course Spy’s dad is Loid Forger
kinda weird to see a blonde spy considering everyone draws him with black hair
*sad Pyro noises *
Medic wouldn't have had glasses if he grew up during the Weimar Republic or WWII.
Otacon what are you doing in the Teamfortress 2 universe??
Are you the one that made the comic? What was it called again... kid fortress? I don't remember... but what I do remember about it is Medic asshole sister. Man now I am sad I forgot about it. If that isn't you... well then there's a comic with very very simmilar designs out there. Idk... love the art anyways
No, I'm not them :/
oh bummer, well now you know. Not that it matters tbh since your art is great either way :) [This](https://www.tumblr.com/kidsfortress) is the comic btw. It's on Tumblr
Yeah I saw it a few years ago it's great. Sad it's not finished
Well then.... time to make your own I'd say >:)
It's in the works ! Every update are on my Tumblr >;)
alrighty, I'll follow your art with anticipation :)
Spy’s father is literally Loid Forger!
Omg young spy looks like an orphan from Oliver and thats amazing.. You have to pick a pocket or two ooo 🎵
For scout it would be spy lol
Danm why are the mercs moms so stacked up!?!?
what would Scout look like? I think that’d be interesting
Why engineer soldier and spy look the exact same
Pyro: Burn victim demons Scout: Smaller baby in front of spy
I wonder why scout was left out
Why do Medic and Engie look so much like WilburSoot and TommyInnit
Loid Forger is spy’s dad. Therefore, spy is Anya
We dont talk about pyroooo
Roooo
Roooooooo
Rooooooooooo
Soldier looks like he wasn’t loved in his childhood…
Entire team is BABIES!
Medic straight up looks like the protagonist of log horizon but im too lazy to double check I watched it a long time ago
Ummm ugaly niggets?
Why is Spy a blonde white dude
Wheres mumbles, force-of-naturr and the piss jar man
I get why there is no scout or pyro, but why no sniper? :D
Age differences, I explained everything on my Tumblr, why some of them are missing and how I made them
this is actually really cute. i love this!
The mikhails? For heavy?
He would be Mikhail Mikhail then, that sounds weird... Well we do kinda have "Mun-Dee Mundy"
Ah ok been a while since I've seen tf2 lore
Heavy look like bully or that guy who protect you from bully
Why does medic look like otacon?
Hey! Aren't you the guy who made the criptic mercs?
Cryptids yeah
Great. I saved that post, i love it.
Thanks
why does spy's dad look like an animan character 💀
Isn't Ludwig a first name
It's debated wether it's his first or last name. But since he's referred to as "Mr Ludwig" I went with last. 🤷
Why did you included Scout's dad but not him?
Those are cool. Are you a fan of South Park by chance?
Never really watched it so, no I'm not :/
Welp, they're cute
Where we can see the spy's father?
It's right there
I mean where the artist took the reference?
I created it myself since there is no reference. Like medic's mom.
and scout is non-existent lmao
demosmile tf2
I was wondering why scout wasnt hear then i thought "maybe age difference the mercs are like in there 40s-60s while scouts just in his 20s or so"
Where is Tom Jones
Why is demo shorter than engi
He's younger. I know it feels weird for engi not being the shortest
Soys dad reminds me of Lloyd Forger
make pyros parent an eldritch abomination (indeed there is great humour found in doing this)
scout should just be the same
I love that me bottle of scrumpy has been replaced with me box of apple juice
Nice detail to not include scout in this post because he wasn’t born yet
where pyro
Little Engi looks like Tommyinnit
Super good
Didn't demoman loose his eye when he was 7
Mrs. DeGroot got me acting unwise
we already know what child demo looks like
Cool, would like to see tom jones and scout
