RED VS BLU - SEND IN THE CLONES
I am not very good with titles but I have a case to arugue.

We all know we have 9 mercs. Most of them have been given names in the comic, e.g. Sniper = Mundy, Engie = Dell, so that makes them indivusal people. What I wanna know is how is there for example a Mundy(sniper) on RED Team and also a Mundy on BLU team exsisting at the exact same time. Fighting eachother, and when more then one player goes Mundy, there is multiple Mundys.

I want you to apply some logic to this game and explain this. Ignore them as classes and think of the Mercs as people. How are there multiple copies of each person fighting in thisi Gravel War and why haven't they questioned it yet? Like you would think some classes like Demoman (who's offical name is Travish) would wonder why the hell he's fighting another Demoman that looks exactly like him???

We also see in things like "Meet the Spy" they do act as if completely diffrent people. Most Notibly the fact of when the BLU Spy asks if they have seen a RED Spy, and also points out that RED Spy is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLU Scout's mom, so the whole Spy is Scout's dad thing really is RED Spy is BLU Scout's mom and BLU Spy may be completely unrelated to BLU Scout. Or if you like to look at parelles Like I do, he could be RED Scout's dad.

In Man Vs Machine Trailer we see for example, the Medic is wearing BLU. As well as the Soilder and Demoman. (although I still don't understand why in the trailer both RED and BLU were fighting BLU colored robots and in the game you're only on RED team but We'll deal with that later.) In the main 9 Medic is RED Team, which leads me to believe this is another Medic, a completely diffrent person or a Clone.

Either Mann Co. has an uncanny nack of picking look-alikes or there's something fishy going on. The only thing I can explain is the Pyros because they are wearing suits so they could in fact be diffrent people just wearing standard Mann Co. Uniforms, and the Scouts as Scout once Said he has a few brothers, there could be a possiblity he has a twin, which devided them up into RED and BLU, and they just don't bring it up or talk about it. Might not like the fact of killing their sibling or something.

So yeah, I personally view the Mercs as diffrent sets of 9 diffrent people on each team, so I want your opinion and your attempt to explain this, and let's have a silly dissucssion about this. Just for fun, please don't get angry and rage on someone just because you don't agree or I will be forced to lock this harmless topic.

One last thing I would like to question... In the comics everyone is on RED except for Dell (Engineer) who is on BLU. Why?

It's because in the beta the beta testers got confused about why when they shot each other the player being shot didn't take damage

Are you serious ffs
Like you're doing co-op - obviouslty the other players won't take damage. D:

There's one of each character per team (Meet the Spy and a couple of the comics show that they're different people). Since Mann vs. Machine, some of the classes on each team joined up together, and they all wear red now.

Alright I'd buy it, cause there was a refernce in the comics to RED Spy being RED Scout's dad in one of Scout's nightmares + the Halloween update comic with Spy and the "how to fake a DNA Test" Book.

But if they are all RED now, what happened to the former RED? Or did BLU Resign? Again why is Dell the only one in BLU in the comic? I demand answers!

The blue spy now wears red after Redmur and Blutard died.He was reading that book because he want to know prevent someone from finding his identity find out his true identity with a DNA test.

Y'know I kinda forgot the fact he is a Spy and actually might need that for other reasons... XD
Idk something about tf2 gives me the impression that the Mercs don't gotta be serious and worry about their personal lives bc they work for Mann Co and whatnot but then I remeber Spy and Scout were almost hung once. lol

The robots are actually GREY in that trailer but it was later decided to have RED against BLU even though it is Grey Mann. Maybe they should have let you pick a team color but all human players were on the same team. After all it isn't RED it says assigned to team MANN CO.
EDIT: I don't know why Dell is BLU after all the Medic joined a BLU team, my guess is that either he like the color blue better or he was just wearing his old BLU uniform.

I think they kinda messed up but didn't think anyone would care (in which case they would be wrong. Duh.) and in the comics it's shown that the RED and BLU mercs are the same people. In a Smissmas Story Part of the BLU team is sent to do community service but later in Unhappy Returns the RED scout says he had to do community service therefore the RED and BLU teams are one in the same.:balloonicorn::cozytf2mug:
