History WebAnimation / QuirkyMisadventuresOfSoldineTheCyborg

* MakeMeWannaShout: Shriek, one of Dr. Schadenfreude's henchmen, can generate fairly potent soundwaves from his hands or minor shockwaves with a clap.

* BadassBaritone: The voice of upgraded Soldine is deep and resonating.

This series is set in the same universe as ''WebAnimation/TheMSGSaga'', with the stories briefly overlapping at certain points.

* BigBadEnsemble: For the first two thirds of the series, the main villain is the Mastermind Machinima/{{Vagineer}}, who is responsible for many of the threats Soldine has faced. After he dies, Dr. Schadenfreude takes the spot.

** Handsome Rogue can summon a modern train engine to crush his opponent.

* DarkerAndEdgier - recent episodes compared to the old ones.

* DishingOutDirt - Golem, one of Dr. Schadenfreude's henchmen, is capable of travelling through earth, generating large stones and hardening his body to become like a solid rock.

** The BÇU Vagineer's healing factor allows him to regrow lost limbs and quickly recover from severe wounds.

Comedy/action Website/YouTube series of Garry's Mod videos, created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SarisKhan SarisKhan]]. The titular character, Soldine, a RED [[{{Cyborg}} cybernetic]] [[SuperSoldier Soldier]] from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', fights with various hostile [=TF2=] Monsters. The series consists of early humorous shorts with barely any continuity and longer mini-movies with a defined storyline.

Original run 28 April 2011 - 13 July 2015. The series may be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL02C4BDE8DF02F1E0 here]].

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal
** ''Frost Fight''
** ''Arctic Assault''
* AnachronismStew - VideoGame/TeamFortress2's 1960s themes are mixed with modern and futuristic technology.
* AnIcePerson
** Cryo, Dr. Schadenfreude's henchman.
** Medizard, Soldine's new ally in the last few episodes.
* AnimationBump - animation quality throughout the first two thirds of ''Endgame'' is adequate. Once the final battle begins, however, the smoothness increases noticeably, particularly during the Soldine vs. Destroyer duel.
* AntiHero - Soldine's probably either Type III or IV. He's rather... [[PayEvilUntoEvil relentless]] as far as malevolent monsters are concerned. The way he deals with them depends on the magnitude of their deeds, however. A dangerous, but misguided madman? Beat up and sent to prison. [[spoiler:A quirky, but sometimes threatening tradesman? Beat up and set to prison.]] A malignant mass murderer? [[PayEvilUntoEvil Eliminated.]]
* ArmCannon

* ArtEvolution - overall audiovisual quality has drastically improved since the beginning of the series. Compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzEJk3Hc1Dk the first episode]] of the series with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J02SJ5Wr-WY its remake]], or a recent (as of mid-2015) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is11wBxt9jA instalment]].
* AxCrazy - the aptly named Madic.
* BadassBaritone - the voice of upgraded Soldine is deep and resonating.
* BallsOfSteel - Many opponents who attempt to GroinAttack Soldine learn the ''[[AgonyOfTheFeet hard]]'' way.
* BigBad - the BLU [[HumanoidAbomination Vagineer]], the mastermind responsible for many of the threats Soldine has faced.
* BloodKnight - Soldine genuinely enjoys combat, and Handsome Rogue delights in mayhem and chaos.
* TheCameo - several Garry's Mod characters created by other video makers appear from time to time in the series:

* CarFu - In ''Necropolis'' [=ZomHeavy=] greets Soldine with a bus wreckage to the face.
* [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Characterisation Marches On]] - Soldine has developed from a quirky and somewhat random prototype into a badass super soldier. Some of his awkward traits remained, though.
* CerebusSyndrome - the series has initially focused on the wacky humor, now the action part is more emphasised.
* ColourCodedTimeStop - black and white in ''Soldine vs. Handsome Rogue'', [[spoiler: inverted colors in ''Operation: Vagineer'']].
* CombatPragmatist

** Razor displays this attitude in ''Endgame''. Because Madic, Orangeman and Major Scout Guy are able to stall the Destroyer for a little too long, Razor decides to unceremoniously intervene in the battle and backstabs Madic as the latter is distracted. He then immediately goes on to finish off MSG, who has been knocked out, and doesn't succeed only because Major regains consciousness in the nick of time to dodge the thrust.
* {{Cyborg}}

* TheDeterminator - once Soldine acquires a target, he won't stop until one of them is dealt with. His motto actually is: "''No retreat. No surrender''".

* TheDragon - Robosol, the EvilKnockoff of Soldine, to the BLU Vagineer.
* [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Early Instalment Weirdness]] - early instalments of the series were significantly more random and humor-oriented. Some of the humor remains in the recent episodes, though less prominent and more subtle.
* EleventhHourRanger - Ghost, a mercenary with the ability to become intangible, joins the established cast in the final episode.
* EliteZombie - Team ZOM members.
* EvilKnockoff - Robosol to Soldine.
* {{Expy}} - Handsome Rogue is an expy of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]].
* ExtraOreDinary - Razor, one of Dr. Schadenfreude's henchmen, is capable of generating various melee weapons and small firearms from metal. He can also temporarily cover his body in a layer of reinforced steel.
* FacialHorror - Vagineer's distorted face.
* FinalBossPreview - Soldine's first fight against the BLU Vagineer. It doesn't end well for him.
* FinishingMove

* FiveRoundsRapid - frequently invoked by HECU. Sometimes it works, though.
* {{Flashback}}
** Madic has (a lenghty) one which depicts his origin after his fight with Soldine.

* FlechetteStorm - Handsome Rogue can summon a varying number of knives and throw them all at once with ImprobableAimingSkills.

* FromNobodyToNightmare - [[spoiler:revealed in the backstory of the BLU Vagineer]].
* GatlingGood - Soldine has an arm-mounted gatling gun.
* GlassCannon - Orangeman is armed with quite powerful explosives, but has only a bulletproof vest [[spoiler: and the Shield power]] to protect him.
* GrandFinale - the final episode of the series was designed as such.
* GoryDiscretionShot - a variation of this was used to obscure Soldine's Thunder Punch in ''Soldine vs. Handsome Rogue'', because it wasn't supposed to be seen at that time.
* HavingABlast - Destroyer's main ability is to cause things to explode.

** Vagineer's healing factor allows him to regrow lost limbs and quickly recover from severe wounds.

** Destroyer has a very powerful healing ability which allows him to immediately recover from any minor wounds, and within a span of seconds heal grave injuries, regrow lost limbs or regenerate broken bones.

* HeroKiller - [[spoiler: Destroyer kills MauveShirt Major Lewis and TheLancer Orangeman in ''Engdame'']].
* HumanoidAbomination - the BLU Vagineer.
* ImmuneToBullets - Soldine and Robosol are immune to small arms fire.
* JackOfAllStats - Handsome Rogue is nimble, durable and strong. However, none of these traits stands out particularly in comparison to other Monsters and he notably lacks really powerful moves (bar his FinishingMove).
* KilledOffForReal

** [[spoiler: In ''Endgame'', Cryo is revealed to have been killed in ''Arctic Assault'' (the last time we saw him his airtank was detonated). Later on Dr. Schadenfreude is killed by Energineer whilst at the same time Destroyer detonates Orangeman. Powered by TranquilFury, Soldine battles the superior Destroyer and manages to pierce him with the Thunder Punch, killing him as well. All deaths are final.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm - Handsome Rogue learnt his lesson after fighting Soldine to the bitter end and (temporarily) dying as a result. During his post-resurrection battles with the Mastermind Vagineer and Ninjineer he surrendered and retreated respectively the moment things started to go downhill. He had become confident again by the time of his encounter with Destroyer in ''Endgame'', although he did deploy his most powerful combo to fight him almost right off the bat.
* LetsMockTheMonsters - Soldine frequently indulges into it.

* LightningBruiser

** Vagineer plays it straight.
** Destroyer was genetically engineered to be this.
* LongRangeFighter
** Orangeman is Type 1; he uses custom grenade launcher and sticky bomb launcher. He is too squishy to engage monsters in melee combat.
** Both Soldine and Robosol are Type 3.
* LudicrousGibs - Handsome Rogue exploded into this after he'd been struck with Soldine's Thunder Punch.
* MakeMeWannaShout - Shriek, one of Dr. Schadenfreude's henchmen, can generate fairly potent soundwaves from his hands or minor shockwaves with a clap.
* MauveShirt

** Ghost is a distinct [=TF2=] Freak with unique powers who plays a notable role in the finale, but from the vantage point of the entire series he has modest screentime and impact on the plot.
* MightyGlacier - Soldine is extremely strong and durable, but he lacks in speed and agility.
* MonsterOfTheWeek - the first three mini-movies follow this format with Vagineer, Handsome Rogue and Madic serving as unrelated, one-shot Big Bads. The recent trilogy seems to not only introduce several closely connected enemies, but also to [[spoiler:bring back the older ones]].
* MonsterProgenitor - [[spoiler: the Original Vagineer seen in the BLU Vagineer's flashback sequence in ''Operation: Vagineer'']].
* NeckLift - Soldine does it to Madic after finally overpowering him.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot - Robosol is Zombie-Cyborg-SuperSoldier.
* NoSell

* NotQuiteFlight - Soldine can propel himself with pressurised steam coming out of his rear end, but it is hardly maneuverable and limited way of travelling.
* OhCrap

** ''Necropolis'' - Soldine utters shocked "shit" when his rocket punches don't work on Zombie Heavy.
* OneShotCharacter
** Handsome Rogue and Madic were originally this, though they have since returned in ''Enemies Of Old'' and played prominent roles in ''Operation: Vagineer''.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent - Handsome Rogue displays inhuman fitness and sucks blood in order to regenerate, but that's about it. Except for his [[spoiler:red eyes]] he looks like a normal human, doesn't have elongated fangs and is completely unfazed by the sun.
* PintSizedPowerhouse - Destroyer is a short, stocky, unassuming, savage LightningBruiser.
* PummelDuel

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom

** Zombie Heavy in ''Necropolis'' sends Soldine flying into a bus wreckage.
* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter - Handsome Rogue ''delights'' in chaos and mayhem.

* RapidFireFisticuffs: Once a fight. Unlike [[WimpFight the traditional G-mod method]], each punch is actually articulated as such as opposed to being a flailing of limbs.
* RedShirtArmy - HECU do their best, but they rarely are capable of even stalling the monsters. They have already sustained several dozen of casualties in the series until now.
* RoboSpeak

* RocketPunch - one of Soldine's abilities.
* RuleOfCool - even though the series may be somewhat serious at times realism frequently gives way to awesomeness. Given the series' source and the fact that it is basically a CGI cartoon, this is pretty normal.
* SeriesFauxnale - ''Operation: Vagineer'' was originally planned to be the finale of the series where the main antagonist and his [[TheDragon enforcer]] are defeated once and for all. However, by that time the author started having new ideas, which resulted in a PostScriptSeason of sorts with new enemies and a significantly expanded cast.
* ShockAndAwe

* SuperMode

* TimeStop - Handsome Rogue's potentially most dangerous ability.
* UnstoppableRage - Madic is a super-powered berserker. Actually, the magnitude of his wrath determines his strength.
* VersusTitle - all mini-movies that follow the MonsterOfTheWeek formula:

* VictoryByEndurance - this is the half-intentional way the good guys manage to defeat Destroyer in the finale. Destroyer has to tear through a platoon of HECU troopers with a [[TanksForNothing tank]], and then Major Scout Guy, Orangeman and Madic, who are all fairly strong fighters on their own. Only afterward does he engage Soldine, who has recently received an upgrade that increases his stamina. Destroyer holds the upper hand initially but inevitably runs out of steam, at which point Soldine turns the tables and ultimately detonates him with the Thunder Punch.
* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled - The elite HECU special forces are supposed to deal with hostile Monsters but usually don't last long. They do manage to put up a fight against ordinary zombies or low-rank Monsters, though.
* ZombieApocalypse - the BLU Vagineer planned to start it. A "local" one had caused an entire district of the Evo City to be quarantined.

** [[spoiler: In ''Endgame'', Cryo is revealed to have been killed in ''Arctic Assault'' (the last time we saw him [[RealityEnsues his airtank was detonated]]). Later on Dr. Schadenfreude is killed by Energineer whilst at the same time Destroyer detonates Orangeman. Powered by TranquilFury, Soldine battles the superior Destroyer and manages to pierce him with the Thunder Punch, killing him as well. All deaths are final.]]

* TheSouthpaw - Soldine is left-handed.

* FiveBadBand
** BigBad - Dr. Schadenfreude (doubles as TheEvilGenius)
** TheDragon - Razor
** TheBrute - Golem, Destroyer
** TheDarkChick - Shriek

* CerebusSyndrome - the series has initially focused on the wacky humour, now the action part is more emphasised.
* ColourCodedTimeStop - black and white in ''Soldine vs. Handsome Rogue'', [[spoiler: inverted colours in ''Operation: Vagineer'']].

* [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Early Instalment Weirdness]] - early instalments of the series were significantly more random and humour-oriented. Some of the humour remains in the recent episodes, though less prominent and more subtle.

* FragileSpeedster
** [=ZomScout=], Team ZOM member from ''Necropolis''.
** Energineer is extremely agile but lacks powerful techniques and is not particularly tough.

* NotQuiteFlight - Soldine can propel himself with pressurised steam coming out of his rear end, but it is hardly manoeuvrable and limited way of travelling.
