I agree with the comment below me.

i preefer this over the Final Build
it is better thought with the engineer's personality and not referencing a meme in your face

I like when creators do two different takes on a concept.

Personally if I had any say on this version. I'd change two things.
1 - The flowers should be real.
2 - Engie should've taken a sip of his beer then pour it out onto the headstone -- causing it to spark and break, ending the taunt.

Ive seen the other grave taunt for engineer and asked why there was 2 of them. One of the creators told me they got permission from you. Is this true?

Love this, just kinda feel like the flowers look too much like lolipops

Maybe some daisies would feel more intuitively on theme, or making the roses less cluttered might help as well

Regardless, fire taunt, and very creative too

IS NICE

well done, I like it!

man I feel like itd be perfect if he actually grabs the bottle from the "dispenser" after it pops out, itd make it come together a lot more naturally, and I like the idea from the earlier comment about sort of toasting toward the camera
I also think he should he should give it a light tap with the bottle at the end, which makes it "unbuild" itself back into the ground as he throws the bottle behind him

Reminds me of the unused Gravestone texture for Far Future in PVZ2

Cool... but the digital display seems out of place. An analog display would do much better here (even if not making much sense, it's TF2)

a little bit too rusty if you ask me, still looking forward to see ingame

what John said, animation quality is not up to par with the rest of ingame stuff

I think the animation could be better, the movements are too fast.

I may like it better if the building got destroyed at the end. But as it stands I like it

A taunt that actually works as a way to taunt someone after you kill them. Surprisingly rare nowadays. This would be a lot cooler without the grave, but I wouldn't be against this version

I think this taunt would be better if you just had the engineer toasting you (dead player that he potentially killed) as he drinks the beer, rather than him leaning on this thing that is manifested next to him.

it would be a good idea if the taunt continued in a loop

I like it

Would be cool if the start up included him dropping a toolbox from which the gravestone then rose
Still a dope taunt tho

love the grave being something he made, the beer just seems unnecessary to have, maybe have him laugh or smirk would be better

Remove the grave and it's okay

Not bad, but I think engi taking a sip of beer should've been the taunt, the grave is unnecessary.

can you make the engineer throw the bottle at the camera

Is cool

Really like the concept, love the posing and making it centered on something he apparently build

However, the animation is a tad stiff and could be optimized to also make it a bit shorter so that the kill cam captures the best moment of the animation

I'd have him press a button at the beginning to erect the tombstone so it's a bit more believeable

Looks epic give me one

The weird stance thing doesn't seem to be on the item importer preview, so it's just on the sfm promo.

Interesting execution, but I feel like Engi just putting the bottle on the tombstone to be kinda eh, maybe make he throw backwards instead...?

The roses look a bit weird too, but I assume those were meant to be screws?

Also it seems the animation ends with a weird stance of him holding nothing...?

Looks cool, though.
