Meet the Sandvich is a short installment of the Meet the Team series, released during the Heavy update. Unique to the rest of the Meet the Team series, the entirety of the short is from the perspective of inside a fridge, and the Mercs can only be heard.
Synopsis[]
The short begins with a shot of the top rack of a refrigerator, showing 2 slices of the titular Sandvich, along with bottles of Red Shed Beer.
After the title card, we return to the same shot. Only now, a distressed Heavy can be heard slowly approaching the fridge. As he gets closer, a BLU Scout and Soldier find Heavy and attempt to corner and capture him. Instead of surrendering, Heavy charges for the fridge, and takes one of the Sandvich slices out. Scout and Solider, realizing their situation, now try to convince Heavy to put the Sandvich down, although these quickly turn to pleas as Heavy stuffs the Sandvich down. With his strength regained, Heavy begins his attack. He charges towards Scout, with Scout promptly running away, this is pointless however, as Heavy delivers 3 godly blows to Scout, being so strong that they "punch out all his blood" (As greatly described by Scout). The power of said punches is strong enough that they also force the fridge door open slightly, giving the viewer a small look into the scene unfolding outside. After destroying Scout, Heavy turns his attention to Soldier, promptly crushing him and attempting to break his spine. Soldier being Soldier, he taunts Heavy by telling him that RED team members don't even know how to break a spine right. Heavy takes this insult personally, and proceeds to actually break Soldier's spine this time, with such force that it forces the fridge door close for a second before it reopens slightly more this time, revealing a pool of blood (presumably Soldier's) on the floor as Scout, who is somehow still alive despite losing all his blood, screams in terror.
The short ends by showing an advertisement for the Sandvich in place of the standard group photo shot.
In the post-credits scene, Heavy can be seen happily enjoying another Sandvich in Dustbowl as he casually observes the classic TF2 madness unfolding below him.
