That's actually a really good point. If it does change the hitbox, that shouldn't stop it from getting in though, since I'm pretty sure most taunts change the hitboxes of their users. Imagine headshotting an engie riding the bucking bronco!

I'm not sure if any taunts have extended a part of the hitbox before though, in this case the head part would have to get taller during the animation.

This is up to Valve - we can't do anything with the hitboxes.

Really more the neck than the head. I do see the issue though, but if taunts like the box trot can make a character's hitbox smaller, why not one that makes it bigger?

Nice Idea!

Will this extend, or move the headshot hitbox for Engy during the taunt? Could easily be an achievement for sniper, getting like a Nope.avi achievement when you headshot an engy using this taunt. Just something to consider if this does indeed get the green light (which it should).

Generally certain taunts don't match hitboxes (See scout's breakdancing taunt)

You make a good point but what about the conga does that change the hit box well its valve so we shall wait 5 years for the wait (just a joke not really going to happen)

But its kind of like the only taunt engie has that does not loop

I remember I didn't die by Spy because of the hitbox during Square Dance. I don't know how Valve will deal with it but it will be great for sure.

Think of it this way: Why did valve add the bucking bronco taunt? Wouldn't that be very difficult to determine headshots with?

As far as I know, most taunts do not change hitboxes. The hitboxes during a taunt are either the character's "idle standing" or "running" animations. "Running" is for if their taunt makes them move, no matter how slow. You can see this sometimes when a taunt glitches out and doesn't display correctly. The taunt is still happening, but you see the character running in place or slowly, or standing idle, or perhaps playing the animation of a different taunt in error.

Well, if it doesn't change the hitbox... the achievement could be for shooting where the head is in the animation. Logically, you headshot, but you still miss the hitbox, and thus the engie survives. Nope - no headshot for you.

achievement whould be : headshoot but nope

If you do headshot an engineer using this taunt, i'd like his corpse to also have a long neck.

Nope.headshot, eh?
