pew pew pew!

Conceptual design and prop fabrication company, Weta Workshop has been responsible for some impressive special effects in films such a Lord of the Rings and District 9. This time, Weta created an ultra bad ass Sentry Gun from the game Team Fortress 2 for the game developer, Valve.

Last week we took delivery of the full-scale level 1 sentry gun, made for us by WETA Workshop – complete with a motion sensor and audio. It’s an incredible piece of craftsmanship that we just had to share with the TF2 community and any visitors brave enough to enter our lobby.

This sentry gun as all the bells and whistles. Its 1:1 scale and have motion tracking, lights and sounds, and more. The only thing it doesn’t do it fire any bullets. Too bad it can’t mow down any baddies while its sitting in Valve HQ. I am so envious…

Hit the jump to check out a video of Weta’s TF2 Sentry Gun in action!
