In case you missed it buried behind the Soldier's glorious mutton chops, Team Fortress 2's new weapons from Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators (http://www.drgrordborts.com/dr-grordbort-s-infallible-aether-oscillators-where-science-meets-violence/) were created in conjunction with WETA Workshop (http://www.wetanz.com/weta-workshop-services/), the makers of Orcs, Na'vi and Prawns (http://www.wetanz.com/projects/) for most of the blockbuster movies of this generation.

WETA's Greg Broadmore (http://www.wetanz.com/greg-broadmore/) designed Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators, which include the Righteous Bison and Cow Mangler 5000, two new weapons in the Victory Pack (http://www.teamfortress.com/grordborts/). To better acquaint players with these stellar WETA weapons, Valve has posted a comic (http://www.teamfortress.com/grordborts/comic/) featuring the Soldier and WETA promises special promo coupons at its booth at San Diego Comic-Con. Just watch out for the cow pies.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)WETA Workshop takes time off from The Hobbit to design for TF2 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/23/weta-workshop-takes-time-off-from-the-hobbit-to-design-for-tf2/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 23 Jul 2011 05:00:00 EST.
