Trivia

  • The weapon's alt-fire ability bears resemblance to the instant teleport, a scrapped secondary weapon which would teleport the Enginner to his Teleporter exit.
  • The name is derived from the term Template:W, any sudden unexpected discovery, or the sudden realization of the solution to a problem.
  • This weapon is called the Wrenchmotron 600 on the Dr. Grordbort's website. The Eureka Effect is listed as an "electrifying taunt" there.[1]
