Archimedes?
The Medic discovering Mecha-Medes

Mecha-Medes is a community created cosmetic item for the Medic. It is a robotized version of Archimedes. It is a robotic dove complete with team-colored eyes and body, which wobbles with the player's movements. The blood splatters found on the normal RED version of Archimedes are replaced with oil stains for both teams.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

Mecha-Medes was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
