I guess this really shows how RED would really react to seeing a robot, and really what kind of people the mercs are. That, as many animations don't depict - they're mercenaries, doing a job. To them.. an enemy is an enemy, nothing more. And that video really does show that.

[@JC_Stone]

Okay. A lot of people say this is just a copy of Defect. This is obviously false. In Defect, the robot sniper just sorta comes to life randomly. In this SFM, the robot scout has probably been working at that incinerator place since the day it was made. Being in a place like that for so long, and seeing all these other bots get thrown away like trash, is gonna affect it. It’s called Artificial Feelings because the scout didn’t just “wake up” and feel stuff one day. It gained these feelings after seeing its own kind treated like garbage. Literally. Edit: Please don’t fight each other in the comments over grammar. This comment was just made to support the creator of the SFM and to clear up something that seemed to be clouding the judgement of others. I still appreciate the support though, thank you.

[@MovableMosquito]

It’s actually called “artificial awareness”. 🤣

Hello, I watched this only yesterday and it felt like I was starting a good book. Honestly, I didn't shed a tear but it did evoke deep and confused feelings about the scoutbot, the scout, and the mercs which I think is really what I want. It's intellectual. We feel sympathy over the scoutbot because we saw its fear and pain before escaping the incineration plant, into a natural pasture. Who wouldn't like a vacation from their soul-sucking 7-4 jobs? The scout, the youngest of the mercs, hesitated to do anything. The bots were their enemies, yet here was one holding his ball out to him like a kind stranger. Then the mercs came, and destroyed it mercilessly while the scout was frozen, unable to act. What really gets me is demo's shoulderpat at the end as if telling the scout, and by extension us, that this is the unbreakable order of things, of war: enemies are cruel to each other.

[@ArodoraaLP]

Robots =/= same as defect. Some backstory is apparently necessary, since people are being quite rude about this; I've had this idea for 3-ish+ years, I didn't make it before because I was horrible at SFM and I loved the idea so much that I didn't want to ruin it with bad animation and improper storytelling. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Defect, no inspiration drawn from, not a similar story, the only thing in common is that the main focus is robots and it's a drama. Saying it's a copy of defect is like saying that it's impossible for people to have similar ideas without drawing from one another, which is obviously untrue. I don't even think I had even seen Defect before yesterday when I looked it up to see what people were talking about.

[@oscargomez7623]

[@bottlegaming6726]

Small opinion here: The reason why Scout didn't just immediately kill Scoutbot, is because Scoutbot was handing him his Ball like a random kind stranger, y'know? He might be an asshole or a jerk at times, he's still a human and the youngest member of the Mercs. And, the reason why the other Mercs immediately killed the Scoutbot, is because.. Well, they're enemies. They are mercenaries, and for all they know, this could be a trick from Grey Mann, to act friendly then backstab them. Yes, Scoutbot is weak in and of itself, but a gun is a gun, a weapon is a weapon. Humans are fragile, and they can't risk it.

[@gll50]

This is really cool. I like how artistic it is, and how it seems to emphasize the fact that the robots in MvM aren't doing what they do because they want to. They're doing it because it's what they're told to do. I like this idea of the robots being sentient and wanting to do their own thing.

What i love about this animation (this is coming from a crappy animator) is that it makes you care about this character in a matter of seconds. It's an expressionless robot but you feel emotions, you feel remorse for a character that doesn't say a single word or do anything significant but you care about them. That's really powerful to me. Getting all that detail into a character that doesn't do much or say anything is really powerful, and probably hard to do. From one animator to another, great job Ardy.

This is really good and really well animated. If anything could be different, maybe just the ending: -Alternate ending 1 - have the story finish at 3:29. That's a more poetic ending than the shot of the factory and we don't need to see the sweeper. You could probably also cut 2:47-2:58 since we know what's about to happen, and maybe we don't need rain for the same reason. -Alternate 2 - Scout and robo-scout's hands never touch, but their eyes meet; at 3:26 instead of the hand maybe it should be robo-scout's head, and the butterfly should land on the head as the final shot. -3.1 - at 3:04 Scout walks over to pick up the ball, and then in the same shot he places it in robo-scout's hand. We never see Scout's face, and we only hear him walking away, and after he leaves the butterfly lands on the ball -3.2 - Scout picks up the ball, balances it on the open hand, and after he walks away the hand moves and grips the ball -Alternate 4.1 Scout picks up the ball, and then the butterfly lands on the ball in Scout's hand. Scout looking at the butterfly is the last shot -4.2 The butterfly lands on the ball for a moment, then flies away. Scout looking at the ball and the wreckage is the final shot All of that is just a maybe. I like the story.

Giant robot heavy isn't a main character, nothing goes on with him.

Hum, what's the purpose of the scoutbots at the recycling factory ? They're just watching the parts going into the incinerator, and that's all. What are they doing there ? Why are they there ?

[@dictatorputski5053]

+DoomDragonRider idk probably to make sure there aren't any explosives or live ammunition going into the large fiery incinerator pit

[@TestingSoDontExpectV]

R u forgetting the point of this animation? They are watching their friends die. The giant heavy robot won't let them leave. I think so at least.

[@smproductions7141]

+Nicolas Chaparro No, it's probably the ammunition thing. While your idea would deepen the plot, it would also make no sense.

This was very good, like amazing. But imo I'm not sure it will win, last year a robot one kinda like this won a saxxy and I just don't see it happening again. Overall amazing like I said, best of hopes to you Ardy.

I really love how this shows how much scout differentiates from the other mercs. He can be narcissistic and rude sometimes but he really has a heart. He can tell when something means no harm just like this robot.

[@KomplicatedKevin]

Omg I remember that "Feelings " poster! Who would've guessed that it would be part of your Saxxy. You sneaky little Ardy, you. :3 And WOW this was amazing. Pros I saw: -Good lighting. Makes the video nicer -Animation is great. -Da feels... -Each character expresses tons of emotion, even the robots, which is funny, because they don't have emotions (It honestly makes the animation better, though.) x3 -Nice details (Dogtag shakes, birds & butterflies, etc.) Flaws I saw: -RED Scout sliding was floaty -Was that hand in the ground @ 3:06? I'm not sure if this is a flaw, since some things sink into sand a bit. -Plot is a bit unclear. What was that butterfly? The BLU Scout's spirit, just like (spoiler alert) Chloe in LiS? What was that blue robot at the end? Great job. This is getting my vote, Ardy, even though I might be biased as a fan of yours, it's great.

[@friesandmayo]

+Komplicated Kevin The robot at the end, im guessing, is supposed to collect the rest of robots to put in the conveyor belt, that's why you see the rest of the robot scout on the conveyor belt.
