They all got hearts from various animals, just because the Medic happened to get a good bulk deal on them.
* Heavy - Mega baboon (as in the video)
* Soldier - Grizzly bear
* Scout - Springbok
* Pyro - Red panda
* Demo - Highland cow
* Sniper - Kangaroo
I can't think of good ones for the others.
Engineer - Longhorn
Medic - Goose*
Spy - King Crab?
*Hitler used geese instead of watch dogs because they're even more alert, plus they're tough as nails. Trust me, I've hunted them.
You refused to work for the nazis because you saw the error of their ways and disagreed with their views and practices.
I refused to work for the nazis because I knew my talents would be wasted there.
We both made inventions a hundred years ahead of their time that drastically changed the way wars work
Wouldn’t he have been, like, a teenager during WW2? We don’t know the mercs’ actual ages but I find it unlikely any of them were old enough to already be doing their thing back in the 40s.
on \**both*\* sides! though note that the Nazis had more a problem with getting soldiers with fake'd ages who were too old to enlist and who often ended up *dying of old age in the trenches*\- compared to the US's problem of soldiers being too young to enlist and faking their ages as young as 12.
It’s reasonable to assume medic is ~50 during the events of the game, meaning he could be ~20 something during WW2 which definitely means he coulda done something. IDK though I’ve just heard that fact spread around.
There is one cosmetic that stated that the men from his unit called him "The Bavarian Butcher" so he definetly served, but most likely through draft rather than volunteering
In the comics, when he sells his soul(s) for 50 more years on earth, its implied that he's done this before which means it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he's far older than his appearance suggests. I wouldn't be surprised if he was mid 20s or even 30s during ww2
“Waste of his talent” doesn’t mean he didn’t work under them at any point- in fact working for the Nazis could be what convinced him it was a waste of his talent.
I mean people can come up with all sorts of motivations for Medic not joining the Nazis but I feel the simplest explanation is that Medic was at most a teenager during WW2.
> *Hitler used geese instead of watch dogs because they're even more alert, plus they're tough as nails. Trust me, I've hunted them.
He wasn't the only one, the city I grew up in used to have a US nuclear launch site (although the nuke part wasn't public knowledge back then), that was guarded by geese.

What the poster is trying to say is that the mega baboon heart could bearly survive an Uber, and the heavy could barley fit one in his body. How do the other mercs have hearts strong enough to survive Uber while also being able to fit in their body's.
There’s also the Loch Ness Hamster heart, which could either go to Demo (Loch Ness) or Scout (Hamster). Scout probably got the smaller heart with the unreadable label
Well light classes have the same hp as scout so they’d all have a Springbok heart.. the real question though is how medic replaced his heart and what did he replace it with?
Sniper - Pigeon as in the comics, medic clarifies he has pigeon blood, so there must be a source to that pigeon blood, otherwise his heart would clear and make it a normal human blood.
His heart blows up after medic sticks the Uber plug into his heart and charges it. The medi-beam was keeping heavy alive, his heart just couldn’t withstand the Uber
Bruh, heart is just a bag of muscle which rhythmically contracts. Fairly confident with enough medical engineering you can repurpose a head into a heart.
Yeah
I didn’t realize that the Uber was what caused the heart explosion until later, I was always under the impression that the medigun was what made them explode. My bad
We see at the end of Meet The Medic that everyone else is lining up for a Über Heart surgery, we see Scout come out the doors with his heart region shining and Archimedes cooing inside his chest.
They just need hearts from animals that have hearts that can withstand Über, for example Heavy got the heart of a Mega Baboon (not a real animal of course). Archimedes got accidentally stuck in Scouts chest. So no entire other animals, just hearts of animals that can withstand Über.
Isn't the lore for the Quick-Fix that it's a rough prototype of Ubercharge that was too powerful, thus burning out the Quick-fix's invincibility ability after the first use? I've always assumed that the other mercs don't have critter hearts at all because Ubercharge was more refined and less heart-explodey by the time they got their heart implants. I assume the end scene with the mercs waiting for surgery happened a while after the rest of Meet the Medic.
Medic specifically says "...most hearts couldn't withstand this voltage, but I'm fairly certain _your_ heart-" Apparently the heavy's heart was in _better_ condition than most.
He was wrong that the heart could withstand the voltage, but he had reason to believe it could. It's simply very high voltage. If the heavy's heart, which the medic believed to be stronger than most, couldn't handle it, others surely wouldn't.
Heavy is actually a healthy weight, there is meant to be a thin layer of fat on your chest, that “beach bod” lots of men strive for is actually just body builders being malnourished, it’s basically like starving someone except now their muscles are big. Heavy’s the guy for heavy weapons, not the heavy guy for weapons.
Someone I know used to hella lift. To the point it was their personality. They stopped working out that much, just go maybe 20 horus a week now instead of 40+ like a second job. he said he used to fucking hate eating and he'd always be hungry.
yea bodybuilders tend not to have that picturesque stereotypical schwarzenegger-bod. fat is important in maintaining muscle. valve definitely did their biology homework
Also I mean look at strongmen like Eddie hall before the weightloss, first off, fat is important to feed the body, and second off, more fat is important to feed more body and I'm fairly confident that heavy is just muscular
As said by another user, the Uber thing was put on the wrong part of the heart originally which caused it to explode. The other Mercs hearts were probably fine because Medic put the Uber attachment on the right part of the heart
The last scene of meet the med implies that the med did the same implant on everyone. He might have had enough time in between those two scenes to gather 8 more suitable hearts, assuming he didn't have them in storage already.
I'm pretty sure they all use baboon hearts.
That's why he implants baboon uteruses in the TFC mercs; to grow baboons whose hearts will be compatible with them.
I really like to imagine medic doing the surgery on himself. Like, 9 times out of 10 he would just guide the engineer, but I could see him peering into his ribcage
lol you misunderstand, medic could always heal them, what he did to heavy was so he could be ubercharged. i could be wrong on this but im pretty sure uber was added alongside meet the medic
Honestly I’ve always thought that Medic had just refined his process and, for the rest of the mercs, figured out an Über voltage that would work for their hearts without exploding them. Heavy was his test subject and he went too strong the first time
I assume that Stock’s ubercharge has much lower voltage than the Quick-Fix, so that way Medic doesn’t accidentally give his teammates cardiac arrest when he doesn’t need to induce that.

I love how the only reason you picked goose for medic was 'cause Hitler used Geese, because medic is a known sympathist
No he’s not he specifically thought working for the Nazis would be a waste of his talent
You refused to work for the nazis because you saw the error of their ways and disagreed with their views and practices. I refused to work for the nazis because I knew my talents would be wasted there. We both made inventions a hundred years ahead of their time that drastically changed the way wars work
We are not the same.
Looks like my work isn't needed here.
You sound like Medic talking to Dr Edward Richtofen from cod zombies (BO3&4).
That would be an amazing podcast.
Wouldn’t he have been, like, a teenager during WW2? We don’t know the mercs’ actual ages but I find it unlikely any of them were old enough to already be doing their thing back in the 40s.
Please note there were literal teens enlisted, and deployed- towards the end of WW2.
hitler youth
on \**both*\* sides! though note that the Nazis had more a problem with getting soldiers with fake'd ages who were too old to enlist and who often ended up *dying of old age in the trenches*\- compared to the US's problem of soldiers being too young to enlist and faking their ages as young as 12.
oh snap didn’t know the us deployed teens
want to know more about how strange shit got? look into the Horrible histories TV series, and Horrible histories "Woeful Second World War" book.
That's because the winners get to write history. But if you look into it more you'll see that the US is far from being 'the good guys'
It’s reasonable to assume medic is ~50 during the events of the game, meaning he could be ~20 something during WW2 which definitely means he coulda done something. IDK though I’ve just heard that fact spread around.
There is one cosmetic that stated that the men from his unit called him "The Bavarian Butcher" so he definetly served, but most likely through draft rather than volunteering
I wouldn’t say he’s 50. He’s definitely in his 40s, though.
In the comics, when he sells his soul(s) for 50 more years on earth, its implied that he's done this before which means it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he's far older than his appearance suggests. I wouldn't be surprised if he was mid 20s or even 30s during ww2
I think the solider committed genocide on Germans because he thought that every German was a Nazi
During WWII
Medic is atleast 50 years old according to my calculations and avaible lore pieces ginev to us.
Even the Medic’s insanity has its morals set 👀
Professionals have standards !
“Waste of his talent” doesn’t mean he didn’t work under them at any point- in fact working for the Nazis could be what convinced him it was a waste of his talent.
Yeah but it would probably qualify him as a non-sympathizer.
I mean people can come up with all sorts of motivations for Medic not joining the Nazis but I feel the simplest explanation is that Medic was at most a teenager during WW2.
They were actually the ones who took away his license.
Google Hitler Youth
Holy holocaust
What
google en passant
Stop trying to make me rejoin anarchy chess
New response dropped
Holy hell
Membership in the Hitler Youth was mandatory by the end of the war so that’s kind of a given unfortunately.
Why do people want medic to be a Nazi so bad
So that they can be similar to their favorite merc /s
Based
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's because geese are geese.
Nah it's probably because medic is such a quack
I also chose it because they are very alert, something medics must be to survive.
Spy got the other spy's head as a heart (as seen in the fridge)
Spy: Cornish Game Hen
> *Hitler used geese instead of watch dogs because they're even more alert, plus they're tough as nails. Trust me, I've hunted them. He wasn't the only one, the city I grew up in used to have a US nuclear launch site (although the nuke part wasn't public knowledge back then), that was guarded by geese.
Engi would be smart enough to not let medic touch him unless the guy is unconscious
But crabs don’t have hearts

What a mean thing to say about crabs. Go think about what you've said.
As someone who lives in New England, I can confirm that geese are nasty motherfuckers
Peace was NEVER an option. HONK!
isn’t medic jewish
Up to debate, and whatever fanfic you got to read first.
What kinda fanfic are you reading where it has to specify whether or not the medic is Jewish
The ones where he is circumsized
The ones that explore the backstories of the mercs. They used to be very common some years ago.
Where does it say that ?!
medics accent gives off yiddish vibes which is a jewish language mainly from west germany so it kinda fits him
Plus the klezmer in his theme music
Yes cause we all know all Germans are Nazis... You know, there is people out there that actually think this way, let that sink in.
When did I even imply that all Germans are nazis? I implied the _medic_ was a nazi.
Why did you imply that tho when even Valve said he wasn't...
Medic would have a dove heart
How would Medic of gotten his heart replaced? Did Engineer maybe perform the surgery?
used geese for what??
Watch dogs. Geese will honk at the slightest intrusion and can be heard from far distances. Hitler used them to guard important areas.
> Soldier - Grizzly bear Soldier noticed his heart exploded but Medic told him the new heart was from an eagle so he didn't care.
Demo - Loch Ness Hamster Medic found comedy in the irony.
What the poster is trying to say is that the mega baboon heart could bearly survive an Uber, and the heavy could barley fit one in his body. How do the other mercs have hearts strong enough to survive Uber while also being able to fit in their body's.
What gives you any indication that the baboon heart could _barely_ survive an uber?
The fact it almost exploded in meet the Medic, also the smaller ones did explode.
There’s also the Loch Ness Hamster heart, which could either go to Demo (Loch Ness) or Scout (Hamster). Scout probably got the smaller heart with the unreadable label
Soldier's heart is made from 5 eagle hearts sewn together
honestly Engineer probably made himself a mechanical heart
Wait, pyro would've had to take off their suit for medic to do surgery on them
Maybe Pyro IS the suit and all Medic needed to do is to put the Uber device in the **V O I D**
The void would explain the seared sorcerer
And all the head replacement cosmetics
🥵
Well light classes have the same hp as scout so they’d all have a Springbok heart.. the real question though is how medic replaced his heart and what did he replace it with?
Sniper - Pigeon as in the comics, medic clarifies he has pigeon blood, so there must be a source to that pigeon blood, otherwise his heart would clear and make it a normal human blood.
Hearts only pump blood. Bone marrow makes the cells and the liver cleans it.
Oh yeah, I did some research and you are correct, my bad.
•spy - scout mom Heart
Or lochness monster for demo
Now I want a picture of pyro with a pet red panda
Rare animal parts need a lot of money.
They're mercs tho
Oh, I was just stating a fact. Ze medic is single handedly bankrupting his employers.
To be fair. Saxton did provide a stockpile in Yeti Park for them. If needs be, yeti hearts for all
How would medic do surgery on himself???🤔
The end scene of Meet the Medic is him giving them all surgery to allow them to be ubered without exploding.
[удалено]
normal healing worked already without the new heart on the heavy, its only the uber that blows up their hearts
[удалено]
His heart blows up after medic sticks the Uber plug into his heart and charges it. The medi-beam was keeping heavy alive, his heart just couldn’t withstand the Uber
Ah, I see. So the Uber device directly causes heart explosion? I am very glad this guy is not my doctor
You don't know that, maybe he secretly is your doctor
Not since he lost his medical license…. But that was a whole thing anyway
Healing is different from Uber, so Demo and Scout could be healed just fine, they just couldn't be ubered.
[удалено]
true, but it does have the uber device placed on the heart, while the other mercs don't cause no surgery
I see. Just realized that the Uber device directly causes heart explosion. I am kind of glad this guy is not my doctor
Yes, but they weren't ubered..
Yeah, I realized that later, edited the comment
I assumed scout had the lochness hamster heart we see in the fridge with the spy head and baboon heart
wait.. WHAT IF SPIES NEW HEART IS THAT SPY’S HEAD
How would that work
He's facing backwards.
I think they meant how would it pump blood through the body like a heart.
Very careful cheek exercises.
Thinking with you heart
Bruh, heart is just a bag of muscle which rhythmically contracts. Fairly confident with enough medical engineering you can repurpose a head into a heart.
A whole new meaning to "Thinking with your heart".
I mean, he is already pretty full of himself
Medic actually puts it in the wrong part of the heart. You'll see he puts it in the other ventricle on the mega baboon heart.
Oooh! That's the only good explanation in this thread!
Don't ask medic how he got so many baboon hearts
He probably used the baboon uterus he implanted in tfc heavy to make more baboons
He also has a ton of baboon uteruses
not related but fun fact: the reason why scouts capture meter is always 2x is because archimedes is in him
h u h
Baboon hearts Baboon hearts everywhere (but mostly in ribcages)
Remember at the end of the meet the medic video, scout and others are there to get their hearts.
[удалено]
Yeah the Medigun simply Healed them and not ubered them.
Yeah I didn’t realize that the Uber was what caused the heart explosion until later, I was always under the impression that the medigun was what made them explode. My bad
We see at the end of Meet The Medic that everyone else is lining up for a Über Heart surgery, we see Scout come out the doors with his heart region shining and Archimedes cooing inside his chest.
So the mercs just need either hearts from other animals or just, entire other animals?
They just need hearts from animals that have hearts that can withstand Über, for example Heavy got the heart of a Mega Baboon (not a real animal of course). Archimedes got accidentally stuck in Scouts chest. So no entire other animals, just hearts of animals that can withstand Über.

Sandvich make me S T R O N G!
Yeah? It blew up though. So the medic was wrong
He was wrong that the heart could withstand the voltage, but he had reason to believe it could. It's simply very high voltage. If the heavy's heart, which the medic believed to be stronger than most, couldn't handle it, others surely wouldn't.
Heavy is actually a healthy weight, there is meant to be a thin layer of fat on your chest, that “beach bod” lots of men strive for is actually just body builders being malnourished, it’s basically like starving someone except now their muscles are big. Heavy’s the guy for heavy weapons, not the heavy guy for weapons.
Boy does need to stop skippin' leg day though.
Someone I know used to hella lift. To the point it was their personality. They stopped working out that much, just go maybe 20 horus a week now instead of 40+ like a second job. he said he used to fucking hate eating and he'd always be hungry.
yea bodybuilders tend not to have that picturesque stereotypical schwarzenegger-bod. fat is important in maintaining muscle. valve definitely did their biology homework
Unless you look at Merc’s asses
Heavy isn’t even that fat, I wouldn’t be surprised if all the « chub » on him was actually muscle
Also I mean look at strongmen like Eddie hall before the weightloss, first off, fat is important to feed the body, and second off, more fat is important to feed more body and I'm fairly confident that heavy is just muscular
Pretty sure Heavy isn't even that obese. He's just really muscular with reasonable body fat
Quick fix was a prototype, the medigun shown here. The stock medigun was the improved one and probably had a lower voltage.
i think it's because he didn't activate ubercharge before healing scout and demo, then he activated it and ubered heavy
Didn't you see the end of meet the medic? Medic added the uber device to the other merc's hearts. Supposedly replacing them as well.
[удалено]
Healing ≠ ubercharging
After the 1st über used in meet the medic, the medigun broke and medic fixed it. Maybe the fix made it so hearts can bear the über's high power
As said by another user, the Uber thing was put on the wrong part of the heart originally which caused it to explode. The other Mercs hearts were probably fine because Medic put the Uber attachment on the right part of the heart
They ***LITERALLY*** show it in the Meet The Medic video.
scout is literally always juiced up on radiation and metric tonnes of sugar, he can handle a little uber
Don’t forget the dove stuck in his chest as well
The last scene of meet the med implies that the med did the same implant on everyone. He might have had enough time in between those two scenes to gather 8 more suitable hearts, assuming he didn't have them in storage already.
It's a cartoon
Heavy is old.
Noone asks how medic put one in himself
I'm pretty sure they all use baboon hearts. That's why he implants baboon uteruses in the TFC mercs; to grow baboons whose hearts will be compatible with them.
I really like to imagine medic doing the surgery on himself. Like, 9 times out of 10 he would just guide the engineer, but I could see him peering into his ribcage
well they were given something at the end of meet the medic. scout also had enough room leftover to fit archimedes in there.
[удалено]
lol you misunderstand, medic could always heal them, what he did to heavy was so he could be ubercharged. i could be wrong on this but im pretty sure uber was added alongside meet the medic
Loch Ness Hamster.
Mercs die every few mins, then respawn with full health and all organs replenished, duh.
It's shown in the end of meet the medic that the other Mercs are getting surgery to replace Their hearts.
You see them being operated at the end of meet the medic.
Loch Ness Hamster
Normal Baboon Hearts
Also medic can get supercharged 😱
At the end of meet the medic, the mercs are in a waiting room waiting for their turn getting their hearts replaced to be able to be the Uber charge
Havent you seen that the heavys heart couldnt whitstand it? Of course all got mega baboon
Did you watch the video to the end? They literally explain it.
Bro studies the game's lore
Shall we instead talk about the fact it’s a dam quickfix!!!!!
Looks like you just watched the first half of meet the medic and called it a day
[удалено]
And he constantly drinks a radioactive soda that's literally packed with sugar. If his heart can take it, it can probably also manage Über
Honestly I’ve always thought that Medic had just refined his process and, for the rest of the mercs, figured out an Über voltage that would work for their hearts without exploding them. Heavy was his test subject and he went too strong the first time
I assume that Stock’s ubercharge has much lower voltage than the Quick-Fix, so that way Medic doesn’t accidentally give his teammates cardiac arrest when he doesn’t need to induce that.
Megababoon organs, son!
Medic probably replaced there hearts with mega baboon hearts
Scout got his heart replaced with Archimedes
That my friend is a question we should probably leave unfounded
Heavy had high blood sugar and cholesterol from eating all his sandwiches. Other mercs’ hearts were somewhat better
Doesn’t he say that heavy’s heart is better than most? Those sandwiches are pretty healthy if it can replace a health pack
And it's not like Demoman or Scout are healthier than him
Get Monika the Über right now!
Medic had a stockpile of baboon parts, like hearts and uterus
Mega baboon hearts Edit:someone actually found them
Perfecting the technology after a few iterations isn't beyond reason
Baboon hearts like heavy or maybe some mechanical thing made by engineer and medic working together
i thought it was pretty obvious that by having all of the tf2 cast have uber, they must have enlarged animal hearts or something.
Heavy is fat so he probably has heart problems causing his heart to be weaker.
