Heavy vs Tank by CobaltGlacier



Kimi: Valve has produced many different characters, like humans, zombies, aliens and robots.

Raven: But the only problem with Valve is that they have survivors with the same stats, which is goddamn ridiculous!

Sly: But non can compare to these two hulking leviathans.

Hiro: The Heavy, the Russian mercenary from Team Fortress 2.

Raven: And The Tank, the hulking Special Infected from Left 4 Dead.

Kimi: Despite being rivals since 2008, not to mention being created by the same company, these two muscular combatants have never met, until now.

Raven: I'm Raven, she's Kimi.

Hiro: I'm Hiro, he's Sly

Ruby: And I'm Ruby Rose.

Kimi: And it's our it's our job to analyze their weapons-



Raven: Hey, wait a minute! Ruby! The hell are you doing in here?!

Ruby: Didn't Hiro tell you? I'm the guest commentator!

Raven: Wait, what?! I didn't expect you to be the guest commentator!

Hiro: Well I was thinking that Ruby would be a great guest commentator, as a way of you two to make amends for stealing her Crescent Rose. That way you don't go to jail.

Ruby: Let's not forget that you dressed up as me, Miss Shizuko.

Kimi: It was Halloween, I wasn't doing anything evil to frame you or anything. And please, Ruby, just call me Kimi.

???: I think it's a good idea to have Ruby as the guest commentator, if I say myself.

Sly: Huh? Who said that?

Kimi: Oh, this is Aiko, the A.I. that I've created and installed into mine and Raven's phones.

Aiko: Pleased to meet all.

Sly: Wait, you created an A.I?

Ruby: That is so cool!

Kimi: Arigatō. Now then back to our show. it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to see who would win, a Death Battle.

TF2 Heavy by CobaltGlacier

Heavy

Real name: Mikhail (Misha for short)
AKA: Heavy weapons guy
Age: Unknown
Height: 6'5"
Weight: N/A
Homeland: Siberia, Russia
Is trained in boxing
-and maybe wrestling
Once lead the team to fight against the robots (Watch Mann vs Machine trailer)
Do NOT touch Sasha




Kimi: In the year 1850, a very, very wealthy entrepreneur named Zepheniah had died, leaving his family land and business to his two sons, Redmond and Blutarch.

Raven: Weird names. Bet he named his sons Redmond and Blutarch because he liked the two colors, Red and Blue.

Sly: In Zepheniah's will he gave his sons the land... to share. But instead of sharing they ended up fighting each other's land right from the start.

Ruby: Wait, they fight over for land instead of sharing it?

Raven: That's right Ruby. They would even kill each other just to have the land.

Hiro: And it gets worse. It went on for decades!

Ruby: What?!

Hiro: And then the brothers began hiring mercenaries to literally wage war, and from there things got really out of control.

Kimi: Each hired mercenaries has their own specialized capabilities.

Raven: The Sniper killed from a far distance, The Demoman slaughtered all with explosives, The Spy stabbed from behind and The Engineer's machines mowed people down with bullets and rockets. How in the hell can he afford these things?

Sly: But one of the nine mercenaries only relied on his strength and heavy weapons... not to mention sandwiches. This was Mikhail, AKA, The Heavy.

Hiro: But before he became a mercenary, Heavy and his family was locked up in a gulag in North Siberia in 1941 after his father, who was a counter revolutionary, was killed.

Ruby: So how did he and family get out of the gulag?

Aiko: I'm glad you've asked Ruby. After living in the gulag for three months, Heavy broke out, freed all of it's prisoners, tortured every last guard to death, and burned the gulag to ground.

Ruby: He did all that?! Wow!

Raven: That's right Ruby. It sounded more awesome and badass than blowing up the gulag in Modern Warfare 2.... Ah, good times.

Kimi: ...Anyway, after the destruction of the gulag Heavy and his family had fled into hiding. But things were rough for them and Heavy needed the money to feed his family.

Ruby: Oh, so Heavy becomes a mercenary and worked for Redmond Mann or Blutarch Mann right?

Hiro: Yep. But years later his siblings can hunt for food on their own, you know since they're old enough to mature as adults.

Raven: Even one of his sisters is dating the Soldier! What does she see in him?

Kimi: Probably the talent for warfare... As we all know, Heavy is the strongest mercenary of the team of nine mercs. Capable of lifting tons of weight.

Heavy Wrestles A Gaint Bear by CobaltGlacier

Strength
Can carry a minigun (Sasha) which weigh 150 kilograms
Wrestles Siberian bears
Held open a large blast door
Stronger than Soldier, who can snap a bear's neck with ease
Can eat Robo Sandvich
-Robo Sandvich is made of metal

Speed
Certain weapons can give him speed boosts

Durability
Can survive a hit from a critical rocket
Likely scales to Scout, who was able to survive 3 rockets
Scales to Demoman and Soldier, who can jump around with explosions and survive


Raven: Like the time Heavy slammed this giant bear with a german suplex!

Ruby: Whoa! That bear is bigger than Ursa Major! And he manage to lift that animal? I know he's strong but I never knew he's that strong.

Sly: He can also carry his primary weapon, the minigun, with ease. Which weighs 150 kilograms.

Kimi: And somehow, he's strong enough to eat a metal sandwich, which is a Robo Sandvich. How do they manage to make a sandwich made of metal I have no clue. I mean did G. Mann made Robo Sandvich from scrapped robots or something?

Ruby: Well at least that's one way to recycle metal.

Hiro: Even though Heavy is strong, he won't be winning any marathons. He's the slowest of the mercs and only gain speed boost depending on the weapon he holds.

Aiko: The Heavy is also tough enough to take rockets to the face, even critical rockets. In Team Fortress 2, weapons with crits effects does more damage than a normal weapon. It even takes one shot under the effects of crits to a kill a merc. Yet Heavy managed to survived a critical rocket, which is very impressive.

Ruby: Okay Heavy is strong, tough but slow. Let's see the weapons he wields.

Kimi: Well Heavy has many different primary weapons but for this fight he'll be using the default primary weapon, the Minigun, which he calls her Sasha.

Minigun by CobaltGlacier

Primary weapon

Minigun

A.K.A: Sasha
Heavy's default weapon
Fires two hundred dollar custom tool cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute
Costs 400,000 dollars to fire for 12 seconds


Ruby: Wow! That minigun looks so big. No wonder it weighs 150 kilograms.

Raven: Yep. No way I can carry a minigun like that! She fires two hundred dollar custom tool cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute! It also cost 400,000 dollars to fire the gun for 12 seconds?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! And how can he afford such a weapon and bullets?!

Kimi: ...Nani mo omoitsukimasen.

Ruby: What did you say?

Hiro: She's says 'I have no idea'.

Ruby: Well I'm glad I didn't have to pay to fire my Crescent Rose.

Aiko: Because you made the weapon yourself, Miss Ruby. Very impressive!

Ruby: Uhh... Thanks, Aiko.

Aiko: You're welcome!

Raven: Anyway with Sasha, Heavy can mow down many mercs who are crazy enough get in his way. He loves Sasha so much, he even gave her a cuddle when he taunts. He even had a bed for her.



Ruby: He cuddles a minigun? That is weird.

Kimi: Well funny you say that since you cuddled your Crescent Rose, according to this gif.

Weapon cuddle by CobaltGlacier

Ruby: What?! Where did you get that?! Were you two spying on me?! What evil deeds are you plotting now?!

Raven: Hey! First, Kimi and I are not evil! And second, that one's on Hiro!

Hiro: Whoa! Don't pin this on me! I didn't do it!

Sly: Moving on! Heavy has secondary a weapon in his arsenal called a shotgun.

Secondary weapons

TF2 shotgun by CobaltGlacier

Shotgun

It is a pump action-style sawed-off shotgun.
Heavy's secondary weapon
-Also used by Pyro, Soldier and Engineer
Ammo loaded: 6
Total ammo: 32

Meet the sandvich by CobaltGlacier

Sandvich

A.K.A: Sandvich Edible Device
Restores 300 health over about 4 seconds
Takes about 30 seconds before Heavy can eat it again
He can also throw it to heal a teammate

TF2 dalokohs bar by CobaltGlacier

Dalokohs Bar

A large chocolate bar with TF2 logo on each pieces
Restores 100 health over about 4 seconds
Takes about 10 seconds before Heavy can eat it again
He can also throw it to heal a teammate
When eaten at full health, it raises Heavy's maximum health by 50 points for 30 seconds


TF2 buffalo steak by CobaltGlacier

Buffalo Steak Sandvich

A slab of raw rib-eyed steak, from a Buffalo
Given the ability to hit harder with mini crits
Grants 35% faster movement
Heavy can only use his melee weapon
Heavy becomes more vulnerable to damage by 25%
last for 15 seconds
Takes about 25 seconds before Heavy can eat it again


Ruby: A bit too small for Heavy to opparate that shotgun don't you think?

Kimi: That is a good point. But Heavy doesn't seem to mind using the shotgun as his secondary weapon.

Hiro: The shotgun Heavy uses is a pump action-style sawed-off shotgun. capable of delivering devastating damage in close range, but the damage will drop depending on the distance between Heavy and his enemies, so of course it's ineffective at longer range.

Sly: Heavy does pose as a threat to most mercs if he had Medic with him at all times but the Medic won't helping helping him for this fight.

Raven: But no worries, Heavy doesn't have to relay on Medic to keep him healed at all times because he brought himself a snack, which is a Sandvich.

Ruby: So he brought lunch with him? I'm surprised he finds spare time to take a quick break to eat a sandwich in a battlefield.

Aiko: It's no ordinary sandwich, It's a Sandvich Edible Device. A half of a sandwich made with two triangular slices of bread. Between the slices of bread are lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and a few slices of both ham and bologna. It also comes with a green pimento-stuffed olive pinned to the Sandvich by a toothpick.

Ruby: That is one healthy Sandvich.

Kimi: No kidding. The Sandvich is so healthy, it heals Heavy at a fast rate for 4 seconds. He can also tossed one to one of his teammates to heal. However once he eats one, he can't eat another Sandvich for 30 seconds.

Hiro: He also have Dalokohs Bar. A large chocolate bar which can increase Heavy's maximum health by 50 points for 30 seconds but it restores his health slower than a Sandvich but on the bright side, it only take 10 seconds before Heavy can eat his chocolate bar again.

Ruby: He also have a steak. Wait isn't that uncooked?

Raven: This Buffalo Steak is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak, from a Buffalo, so yes, I think it's uncooked. Yet somehow Heavy eats it fine without vomiting.

Sly: When Heavy eats the Buffalo Steak, he grants the ability to hit harder with mini crits and 35% faster movement but there is a catch. Heavy can only use his melee weapons and he becomes more vulnerable to damage by 25%.

Raven: Well that's dumb, it's like 'Hey I can dish out the pain but I sure can't take it'.

Ruby: The effect only last for 15 seconds and Heavy can't eat the steak again til after 25 seconds.

TF2 heavy punch by CobaltGlacier

Melee weapon

His fist

Heavy fights hand to hand as the last resort or when necessary
Is trained in boxing
Can use a taunt called Showdown
-Heavy can instantly kill the opponent by shooting them with a finger gun
-Stands completely still to use it, so if it misses he's left open


Kimi: Heavy doesn't relay on a melee weapon in combat, so he uses his fists instead, where he fights in hand to hand combat when he's either out of ammo or when necessary. Keep in mind that Heavy is trained in boxing.

Raven: But the real beauty of his fist is his taunt known as Showdown. With it he can instantly kill the opponent by shooting them with a finger gun.

Ruby: What?! He can kill someone with his finger gun?! How is that possible?!

Aiko: Team Fortress 2 lore, everyone!

Hiro: However, if Heavy uses the taunt, he'll stand completely still so if he misses, he's left open.

Mann up by CobaltGlacier

Feats

Broke out of prison, freed all of gulag's prisoners, tortured every last guard to death, and burned the gulag to ground
While awake, survived his operation
-Even has a Mega Baboon heart instead of a human heart
Mowed down the entire army of BLU Soldiers whilst ÜberCharged
Held open a large blast door
Fought an army of robots alongside his teammates
Fought and killed a giant Ussuri brown bear single handedly
Infiltrated Administrator's control room with no weapons
-Just a backpack full of Sandviches


Raven: Heavy is strong as he is tough, always eager to fight. Through out his career he survived his operation while his was awake, took down many of BLU Soldiers while ÜberCharged.

Ruby: He managed to hold open a large blast door, though we have no idea how long he can hold it because of the bomb was thrown at him.

Hiro: Ever since G. Mann tries to destroy Mann Co, Heavy fought an army of robots alongside his teammates but the most impressive feat of all, he fought and killed a giant Ussuri brown bear single handedly.

Aiko: You may think the bears Heavy fought are Grizzly bears right? Well they're not native to Russia. So Heavy most likely had fought Ussuri brown bears, who weigh about about 1500 pounds and is twice as large as a Grizzly bear. About 19.6 feet tall. But this giant Ussuri brown bear Heavy fought seems to be taller and heavier than a normal size Ussuri brown bear.

Ruby: Like I've said, That bear is bigger than Ursa Major.

Kimi: And unlike the other 7 mercs, Heavy once Infiltrated Administrator's control room, without any weapons. Just a backpack full of Sandviches, which he fed some to guard dogs.

Raven: And all he wanted was Administrator to give him more weapons to play with, but Pyro beat to him first. So as you guys know, there's a Meat vs Match going on and players vote by playing on Heavy's team or Pyro's team in order to make Heavy or Pyro great again... Oh god I can't believed I just said that.

Sly: Heavy may be a force to be reckoned with but he does have his flaws.

Weaknesses by CobaltGlacier

Weaknesses

Slowest of the nine mercs
Struggles with fast opponents
-Like one time he lost to Scout in hand to hand combat
Carries limited ammo
Not much as a threat without Medic


Kimi: Heavy has limited ammo, without the Medic, Heavy doesn't pose much as a threat. In fact, he's an easy target for the Sniper. He's the slowest of all the mercs and that's a problem because he struggles with fast opponents.

Aiko: For example: Heavy once lost to Scout in hand to hand combat. So any speedy opponents like The Scout can easy beat him with hit and run tactic.

Raven: Hell, even Ruby could beat him in a fight.

Ruby: Yeah! I bet I can beat him in less than a minute! My Crescent Rose is better than Heavy's minigun!

Hiro: Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Ruby. Heavy maybe slow but still he fear's no man nor machine. And if you come toe-to-toe with this Russian mercenary, he will promise you pain without end. Underestimating Heavy will be your last mistake you ever done.

Ruby: *gulp*

Left 4 Dead Tank by CobaltGlacier
Tank

Real Name: N/A
AKA: Super-Ass Zombie, Big Ass Zombie, That Big Mother, Giant Thing, Big Freaking Zombie, etc
Age: N/A
Height: Presumably 10'0" according to Coach (But maybe shorter)
Weight: N/A (Possably a lot heavier than a normal human)
Known to be the biggest threat of all Special Infected
Victim of the dreaded 'Green Flu' virus
Formally human
-though no idea what he was before he turned




Ruby: So who is CEDA you guys were talking about earlier?

Kimi: Glad you've asked, Ruby. In 1988, a government organization known as Civil Emergency and Defense Agency, A.K.A, CEDA was born. For two decades they have protected millions of Americans from terrifying consequences of natural and man made disasters and is responsible for responding to disasters and assisting in recovery.

Ruby: Really?! They've protected millions of people from man made disasters? Wow.

Raven: I wouldn't be inspired by CEDA if I were you, Ruby. Especially what happened in 2009, where they met a dreaded virus that turns people into zombies. This virus is called the Green Flu. Yeah not really the scariest name for a virus but the flu is so horrible that it mutates people depending on their life-style.

Ruby: So what did CEDA do during the outbreak?

Sly: They tried to evacuate civilians but they've abandoned most of them due to the fact that they had no idea what the green flu virus does til it's too late. Not to mention their evacuations centers were overrun, which leads to the military to take over their operations and many survivors making graffiti which says 'CEDA Sucks'

Aiko: In other words Ruby, don't trust CEDA.

Ruby: That's horrible they left innocent people to die. So the virus turns people into zombies who are unlucky to get bit.

Hiro: But those common and uncommon are nothing compare to these mutated monsters. They are called Special Infected.

Kimi: The Special Infected have more intelligence than the common infected. A mutated predators has their own specialized abilities.

Raven: The Hunter pounces it's victims from afar, The Charger knocks over survivors like bowling pins, The Spitter spits corrosive acid, The Boomer vomits one people which is goddamn disgusting, and the Smoker strangles his victims with his long, slimy tongue. Damn, who knew smoking could be this bad.

Ruby: Those Specials looks horrible, especially the Boomer. Ugh!

Hiro: But non are as large nor as threatening as the hulking, mutated human known as The Tank.

L4d Tank by CobaltGlacier

Ruby: ...That thing is massive.

Raven: Damn right he is. That ten feet tall monster looked pissed as hell. Probably due the fact it that the infection causes pain to his brain which makes him angry. But before he became a mutated hulking zombie who was he?

Tank by CobaltGlacier

Raven: An office clark with anger issues?


Tank Sacrifice by CobaltGlacier

Soldier Tank by CobaltGlacier

Raven: A US Marine with scars that was trapped in a train cart? Or a soldier at that Urban Flight map who is unlucky to get bit?

Football Tank by CobaltGlacier

Raven: Or a football player on steroids who was playing football when the outbreak hit? No one knows for sure.

Virus mutation

Greatly increased muscles mass
-Muscular growth in arms and upper body
-His bones have become stronger too, in order to support the weight of his muscles
-His lower body cannot support the weight, making it impossible to stand
Unbridled rage than other Special Infected
Superhuman strength


Kimi: But what we do know is that the Tank's mutation has increased his muscles mass, even his bones have mutated to support the weight of his muscles. However his lower body cannot support the weight of the upper body so the Tank is forced to move on all fours like a gorilla.

Hiro: A shaven gorilla.

Sly: The Tank is a force to be reckoned with as he uses his strength to punch survivors like ragdolls, rip slabs of concrete from the ground and toss around cars with ease.

Left 4 Dead Tank rock throws by CobaltGlacier
Strength

Processes inhuman strength
Strongest of all Special Infected
Can punch through walls
Can rip slabs of concrete from the ground
Can punch cars around, even send them flying

Speed and Agility

Can keep up with healthy survivors
Can climb up walls or other climbable areas with ease
Can even outrun common infected

Durability

 Increased muscle mass serves as the Tank's defensive body armor
-Protecting his vital organs from gunfire
Can withstand any punishment from any and all weapons
-Even explosions
-Making it near impossible to kill


Hiro: But just because he's strong doesn't mean he's slow. The Tank is pretty damn fast, not to mention agile. He can keep with survivors even if they're at their perfect health. He can also up climb walls or pipelines.... how the hell can small pipes support his weight.

Ruby: So despite his massive bulk, the Tank can keep with fast humans? That is one deadly virus.

Kimi: He can also outrun common infected, which shows that if the common infected is in his way, he'll crush them. As nothing but death itself stands between him and the survivors.

Raven: But judging by it's wounds, I'd say the Tank had his fair share of killing survivors. Look at that large wound on his chest! Damn, he must be really tough. Not even a sniper bullet could stop him.

Ruby: You're joking! Not even sniper rounds can take that monster down!?

Raven: Yep, The Tank can take many kinds of punishment, even explosions. It's almost near impossible to take the thing down.... well that is if you have the armor piercing rounds for your sniper rifle then you're pretty much fine. Like the time Houston manage to take slow him down.

Ruby: Armor piercing rounds huh? Hmm...

Sly: But despite the armor piercing rounds, the Tank is one tough son of bitch.

Left 4 Dead Tank comic by CobaltGlacier

Feats

Strong enough to send cars meters away
-A stranded US car weighs about 2 tons
Tough enough to survive an explosion from a grenade launcher
Killed numerous of unlucky survivors
-judging but the Tank's wounds
Killed Bill Overbeck
Can survive being on fire for long period of time


Hiro: He's tough enough to survive explosions like the grenade launcher and by judging by his wounds, he must've killed numerous survivors who were unlucky to run into him.

Aiko: He's even strong enough to send cars flying meters away. In the US, cars weigh about two tons. Yet Tank can punch those kind of cars flying with total ease.

Ruby: That makes him more scary.

Kimi: Also in the Left 4 Dead comics, three Tanks had killed Bill Overbeck.

Raven: *sniff* Come on, Kim. Don't bring that up.

Hiro: He can even survive being on fire for long periods of time. But with all that strength though. The Tank isn't really smart at all.

Tank On Fire by CobaltGlacier

Weaknesses

Limited brainpower
-Not to mention unbridled rage
Fire will eventually kill him
A well prepared group of survivors can kill him with solid teamwork
Throwing slabs of concrete is the only long range attack


Kimi: It's not that the Tank is dumb, it's just the green flu virus had limited his brainpower. And with his uncontrollable rage, the Tank can only focus on one target at a time.

Ruby: And even though the Tank can survive being on fire, it will eventually kill him. And throwing slabs of concrete is his only way to attack from long range.

Raven: Also the Tank won't stood a chance against a well prepared group of survivors. A good solid teamwork can bring him down. Yeah... I'm putting my bet on Ruby and her friends if they fight the Tank.

Sly: But one thing for sure, encountering this ten feet tall, mutated monster will easy turn your day into utter hell.

There was a knock on the door. As the DB hosts turns round, a staff opens the door. "Sorry to interrupt but I have two boxes for Kimi and Raven" the staff member said, handing the boxes over.

"Thanks" Kimi said.

"So what's in those boxes?" Ruby asked. Both Kimi and Raven opened the boxes and when they looked inside, they had a confused look on their faces.

"Hey, what are these clothes for?" Raven asked.

"Oh it's for the arena we've set for The Heavy and The Tank. You two are needed for the Death Battle Colosseum.

"What?!" Both Kimi and Raven exclaimed.

"You expect me to wear this in public?!" Kimi shouted.

"Yeah... this shirt isn't my color at all" Raven said holding up the grey shirt.

"Sorry but I'm just doing my job." The staff said. Then he walked away... but he came back. "Oh, Hiro, Sly, Ruby? You three will be DB hosts for the rest of this episode. Good luck." and he walked away

"Fine with me." Hiro said, not complaining at all.

"No complaints here" Sly said.

"Yep" Ruby replied.

Both Kimi and Raven sighed in annoyance. "Let's just get this over with." They both spoke.
Valve's hulking leviathans, The Heavy and the Tank. Rivals since 2008 and they have never met... until now. So which of these two will win to become Valve's mightiest hulking leviathan? Team Fortress 2's Heavy or Left 4 Dead's Tank?

The Tank is faster, stronger, and tougher than The Heavy. But Heavy has the range, healing properties, and smarts to match The Tank.

If The Tank can overwhelm Heavy, he wins. But I'm going and rooting for Heavy for his experience and smarts on the battlefield.

The Tank is in a one track mind of just charging at his opponents while Heavy can use his environment to his advantage, and the firepower to match The Tank. Plus if he can get enough distance from The Tank, he can use his taunt to finish off The Tank.

Pretty good prelude dude. Looking forward to the conclusion of this.
