| Well folks, we're in the calm before the storm right now so we better get ready. Here are my findings. This image: Coded Message This video: Golden Wrench This post: Blog Post This update: TF2 Update
So far, the update contained a secret Golden Wrench that can turn the people you hit in to Gold, but it only works on Offline mode or with a Personal server. The image is a coded image but the cypher is still very rough. It says something about turning into gold. The video show that. The post on the blog is just about they're new API's and so far nothing has been unearthed from the post.
Another crucial piece of evidence comes from Robin Walker himself. He sent this image to Apocalypse gaming as a personal thank you for their work together on the polypack contest. Luckily I got a hold of the image and it is from Robin. He says that it is a snapshot of the engineer update. Engineer Taunt What we can gather from this is that the Engineer probably has a new PDA taunt because of the way he is holding it, it does not appear to be a weapon. I can assure that the picture is from Valve.
The last bit of info that we all know is that the engineer has a new shotgun as seen in this video: TF2 Mac Update
So far that is it. We have a new shotgun, a new wrench, a new taunt, and some hidden messages. The engineer update is indeed on its way. Start getting excited.
NEWS FLASH 7/2 Valve has posted a new comic. It can be found here: Comic Along with lots of information in this comic, the blueprints are dated July 17th to August 3rd. Those could be the dates when the update hits us.
This information is as of Thursday July 1st, 2010, 2351hrs EST. This post is subject to heavy updating as more information comes available. NOTE: The text is correspondent to the current state of alert regarding the impending update. Version History: - 1.0 Thread started - 1.1 Comic added

| That there coded message says "Clearly here is more space than Reeded. I wonder what else was here. ". It has already been decoded with this: http://www.myersdaily.org/joseph/javascript/alphac.html Another interesting thing is the link above can be found within the hidden message. It's contained within an alpha channel of the image. | |

| I have read that the game files contain these 2 lines,
"%s1 has found Golden Wrench no. %s2!"
"%s1 has destroyed Golden Wrench no. %s2!"
This may imply that each and every one who obtains the golden wrench has a different ID number.
must... get... wrench 1337... | |

Sure it might not mean "clearly there is more space than needed"? That sounds like it makes more sense. | |

| Typo, probably. It was signed by Saxton Hale, after all
Also, 1000 hundo bonus points for Valve for getting Makani, the artist that designed the Announcer, to also do the Engie comic

Very interesting...
Also, forgive me for nitpicking. Believe me, I know that it is 5 stages. However I could only find those 3 good pictures of the Engineer under DEFCON 1 and 3. | |

It's like it almost only exclusive to the US so why bother. I was playing on e-Club when a guy who was crafting on the same server got it! His name's Fatalcrash, he's in the log. We were all like ZOMFGWTFBBQ, KILL THAT FUCKER. That sent his KPD down the drain! :DDDD | |
