Endless Rust 2 [SFM] 

Loved how the heavy and scout who escaped the first one are at the end but…there’s no way sniper and engi survived that…you…you killed them 😢

If this is your last SFM piece, then be proud to know that you went out with a bang. This is your magnum opus, and it was incredible from start to finish.

I like how the Pyro bot didn't immediately switch sides, it was more like his memory was reset. Only after being threatened had he evaluated who the enemy is.

The TF2 community needs to run its own Saxxy Awards. SFM like this deserves recognition for the hard work their animators put into it.

Endless Rust was always one of my favorite TF2 sfms. I’m so happy to see such a high quality sequel.

This story got me the chills, I felt emersed in the setting. After seeing the first one and watching them in their "safe zone" and their work together, I actually felt sad for losing them.

Jesus. That ending brought forth sadness like none before... RIP Engi and Sniper... You were good son; real good, Maybe even the best...

There is a lot to love about this, but one of the biggest highlights for me is this moment at 5:09. The scavenging moments feel really authentic but this scene hits hard. The robot's being heard behind them and the calm but desperate move to hide in the trunk. I've watched this scene over and over and you can really FEEL the robot's footsteps and the power and terror behind every one. You come to a realization that if they had acted a moment too late, they would've been dead, caught out in the middle of the street with a long space between buildings and little cover. This whole scene really sells how dangerous the whole situation is.

To be honest that was a satisfying ending for the sniper and engineer team, with leaving the idea for scout and heavy if you ever did want to continue it. Overall, you did an amazing job on this project man!

Loved the first one, and this one is amazing as well. Glad you finished it & even if you don’t make sfms anymore I hope you don’t lose your storytelling spark.

What I like about FlyToRainbowRay animations is that even a person completely unfamiliar with tf2 can watch them without questions like "Who is he?", "Why is this?", "What is the purpose at all?". I really like it.

Endless Rust having a sequel is crazy. These SFMs are tastefully made, action packed and intense. I love it.

Words cannot express how incredible this is

So sad Endless Rust will not get a part 3. Explains why Engi and Sniper died- but they did it to help the rest that are alive. Rip that Pyro machine too, he tried to survive but died. Congratulations on making such a masterpiece. Start to Finish, it was amazing.

That was some bloody great story telling. In the movie business we say "Show, don't tell" which is what you really did here. Great job.

This.... was..... MARVELOUS! No seriously though, I admire any and all creators who make animations like this with such quality. Rest In Peace to the Sniper, Engineer, and the Big Friendly Pyro Bot. I don't know what plans you have for your future, but I wish you the best to make it a good one. Thank you for making these animations!

I like how this has both environmental storytelling with all of the corpses laying around and engineer and sniper talking in certain situations.

Actually feel emotional seeing the engie and sniper end up like that, let’s hope these two can carry on their good work

I watched both the endless rusts like most people and the ending is very realistic about what would happen… and that’s an extremely good thing. And I’m now just going to go on an entire monologue about the two sfm short films: When you watch the first film you are immediately introduced to the sniper and engi and who they are heck even with so little dialogue their personalities stuck out so much which really gets you immersed and attached to the thing, the robot cult in my opinion was a good idea due to this series taking place in a world where the robots of MVM managed to succeed in their goals. Another thing I really liked is how there was a mixture of robot parts and actual dead people in the city showing previous battles, lives and goals. The references to were absolutely amazing as well such as the fallout one with engi getting the digital map and also the weird robot suit things from an animation on MVM from awhile ago. And the ending… I already listed it’s realistic but some part of me thinks of what could have happened if they’d survived but then again seeing the scout and heavy from the first felt like a bitter sweat ending. Thank you so much for making this!

I saw this pop up in recommendations a few days ago, thought it was the first one and now I’m scoping myself for missing the chance to see this masterpiece sooner

Dont let this kill your love for animation, loved this from start to finish.

We salute you, Engineer and Sniper! (Even robot Pyro protects Engineer and Sniper from robot Demoman.) Sacrificing themselves to save humanity.

Making SFMs this good should be illegal. Great work.

this, without hesitation, is the absolute BEST community sfm i have ever seen in my life. you could easily replace the characters with non-tf2 characters and it would still make sense. this isnt shenanigans, this is a coherent story.

It's like watching a movie with your favorite actors in it

It never fails to baffle me just how creative this community can be

One of the Best short films i've ever seen, let alone SFM's. Every category was hit superbly. This deserve's a saxxy maybe 10.

I loved Endless Rust, so seeing this pop up was the greatest thing in the world for me

the engineering elements are super, from the slow, grinding design process to the way parts lock together. its all very authentic

I really admire the animation of that robot sniper there at 12:57. So many TF2 SFM can't seem to animate robotic characters right and they always tend to end up as meatbags masquerading in metal.

this is possibly one of, if not the best story telling I've seen in an SFM animation and not only that, but story telling combined with absolute top notch animation kudos to you

wish there was more. I really loved Endless Rust because I want to be an engineer and I love tf2. Engineer and sniper are my favorites. Though you did take a long time to make part 1 and 2 so you deserve a break buddy :)

As a mapper and animator, you have my respect. Making something like this requires an amount of effort and patience that very few can have and it’s clear that you deserve all praise from the TF2 creative community, it is thanks to people like you that this game will persist!

Action scenes in SFM must be one of the most difficult feats and you nailed them perfectly. Kudos!

Everything, from how you animated the robots, to the simple collection scene at the beginning! Everything is perfect!

This is great, the story, the details, lighting, waw

I definitely didn't expect to see this again, but boy, was it such a treat to see after more than 2 years. I read the description, and we respect your decision not to continue this series, but we hope this didn't damage your love of animation.

2 years worth, and every second was an artpiece. great job man, even with that burnout

Man its sad to see this series go but maybe. in the future someone will pick this up and make a part 3 with heavy and scout, but otherwise this SFM is really good! and it put atleast a ending to the endless rust series by destroying the robot base. thank you for this masterpiece.

unbelievable skill and dedication went into this. this has got to be the best SFM i've ever seen.

I. Cannot. Express. Just how much I loved watching every part of this entire project of yours! This was a phenomenal creation. Absolutely incredible work, Rainbow!

One of my favorite sfm series, all the time we waited worth it. amazing final and i love your animations. I want to say more but i don't know to express all the emotions i have about this episode

That was fantastic - better than hollywood well done dude i felt tons of emotion in the characters all over the place was a great watch

endles rust is one of my favorite sfm annimations i cannot even imagen the amount of time and dedication was nessesary to pull something like this of i think i could whatch that in the cinema and would not be disapointed

I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED EVERYTHING TO WATCH THIS This is fantastic. The worldbuilding and characters are so good. The entire thing was so tense and dramatic- the fight choreography was also riveting. I am so sad about the ending- but it was beautiful! They did it!!! I can't wait to see where these new characters will go, now that they're free

What a bittersweet ending to one of my most favorite sfms of all time. Thank you so much for creating Endless Rust and its equally incredible sequel.

This was SO well made!! The amount of detail you’ve added is amazing! 😁

holy shit this guy is underrated as hell not making another movie makes sense but id really like any kind of spin on this "post robot war" setting

To me this is like the Terminator 2 of SFM It was amazing from start to finish, and it ended in a perfect way that it doesn't really need a third part. Simply fantastic.🌚

The blue pyro that got reset is very curious to me. It acted less like a machine at that point waiting for some orders or directives and more like an actual free living thing. It looked around curious to where it was and walked to the door when it opened. It didn’t understand what the other robot was asking but understood when it was being threatened. It also was able to understand Sniper and Engineer were trying to help it. It even showed to take them as friends saving them instead of trying to free itself from the demo that was pinning them down Makes me wonder what capacity of free will and feelings these robots can have.

This has got to be one of the best SFM films I’ve seen in 10+ years. Freakin bravo.

You have no idea how long I have waited for this. Thank you so much Ray!

Everything about this feels like a movie, the animation and lighting is great, the camera angles are perfect, the choreography in the movement and fighting is on point. Fantastic job, I'm glad this got a sequel.

Welcome back! Sure was worth the wait I love how the robots are portrayed as a genuinely scary threat. I really like also just how mechanical they feel, especialy the walkcycles the giants have, it really adds a lot of personality despite them being robots. The world building is really well done giving off this almost Halo 3 ODST type of vibe trying to survive in a City that's turned into a warzone with a powerful enemy that looms around the corner constantly. Really was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film, really great job man. Good to have you back

So happy to see this part 2 come out, but so sad that it was the end of an amazing story. Much love as always, thanks for this masterpiece :)

I was just scrolling until this beauty appeared on my recommendations. I freaked out sm

I might be late to the party, but this is one of the best 21 min SFM video I’ve ever watched. It feels like a movie to watch this is free of charge

no wonder why this took 2 years! it is a masterpiece! definitely worth the wait

Impeccable quality. As Spy would say, Magnificient. Flawless work. The dedication and effort is potent in this one. Amazing work Rainbow

This is a christmas bloody miracle! Great work!

The robot pyro waking up and basicly being sentient makes me happy.

Your attention to detail is incredible. The character movements are fluid, and the reflections and shadows are perfect. Amazing story and great animation :)

Ray, you managed to do it once again! I've always wanted to see TF2 in a dark, slow-paced, atmospheric environment and you gave that to me with this series. I think I like this one even better than the first.

Wow this is one of the best sfms animations i've seen keep it up

This is a great sfm animation, I really like the tension built up and the subtle expressions in the quiet moments. Also the sentence mixing is done pretty well, scenes could have flopped if it wasn’t executed this good. If this is going to be your last sfm movie, I think its a great send off.

The increased focus on the scavenging aspect of this new world was some of the most interesting use of TF2 models I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you.

It was fucking epic. Definitely an animation worthy of respect 😤💖

thank you, this was amazing work. I hope you will continune making new sfms, its great seeing a newer creator rising up with great story telling. your work is appreciated!!

If this were to be your last SFM movie, you ended it with a banger. Really well made :)

Heroes. Their sacrifices will be remembered by those remaining. What a great sequel! The action is easy to follow, and the story is easy to get immersed in. I was really growing attached to our Sniper and Engineer duo, with all their little acts of camaraderie, the way they looked out for each other. Their cozy little home and their unique personalities. It's a tragic, bittersweet end, having their escape snatched away right as we were watching them begin to fly, but it ends with hope for the future - another unexpected duo, that Scout and Heavy at the end. Your creations always have such a cinematic feel, and while I was watching I kept thinking how it felt like watching a movie, with all the cinematography and scene building. The corpses of old humans and bots add a lot to the implied history. I wonder what media inspired this world? Watching the giant Pyro was also such a hype moment despite his short screentime. Like holy crap, I was cheering him on like you wouldn't believe. There was a feeling of genuine loss when he was destroyed. Just amazing all around. Thanks for making this!

Awesome lore and great animations, keep up the good work! Really enjoyed the first Endless rust video and this one was even better. ❤

that was great, i really like when tf2 characters are really wholesome to each others

7:35 I actually find it nice that they both went for the robot to test the new weapons out rather than trying them on the dead Human Soldier, good attention to detail

That was amazing, it was an amazing sequel to the first one, and I feel has paved the way for maybe a third one, but then again, I see its been very painful for you to make, and I understand if you don't want to make a 3rd, but this one was so amazing, I can't stress that enough. Your works are amazing, and I hope you continue working on stuff like animations and stuff like that, because you really have a lot of talent and skill and I can tell your heart and soul was put into this. I don't mind that making this took about 2 years, it just proved that you worked very hard on it, and it payed off because this was just plain amazing. 11/10 would recommend to anyone, may you continue, or branch into something else. You are my favorite sfm animator, with your 2 endless rust's, and also ocskylla was amazing as well, I remember final fight as well, was also great, short yet sweet, and you are so talented, I love your works.

a legend is back Glad for part 2 be proud of yourself

Well, this was an amazing watch. Very action packed and there were even very tense moments. Great work with this series!

I was wondering why I was seeing Endless Rust in recommendations, now I know why, a sequel! I just, love this so much. Especially the role that fits their characteristics, overall atmosphere in this universe, conveying such a well made story without much speaking, and no need to mention high quality animation that is long enough to be considered as a short film! Thank you so much, and there is no reason for the third one, I'm just glad the sequel is here! Thank you!!!

I'd like to point out the amazing realism on the flamethrower- It's less commonly known but even during WW2, it had a range of ~15m which is no longer used in combat due to the geneva convention

13:14 Now THAT'S a correctly build automatic door, in most sci-fi they just open for no reason when the control panel is shot

i love the unique weapon designs and the map layout. everything feels like it makes sence like the robot actions and the main caracters feelings and emotions. they are just human and would get dazed from the rough landing in the end, theres more that i could say but i dont know how to express it, this is just that amazing! very very well done lad.

I loved the first. I adore this one. Pure perfection. A perfect way to send it off.

THE LONG AWAITED SEQUAL!

Such a great job on the Voicework sounds so natural

You've gotten better at this. I hope you do decide to continue on despite the challenges that SFM brings, but if not, just know you've made an absolute masterpiece.

It feels like a surprise birthday party!

Incredible world building and narrative structure; you have created a story that utilizes the tf2 aesthetic in such a unique way. I have always considered Endless rust to be one of the classics I'd get to see in my lifetime up there with Wrench in the Gears and Hoovydundy. This follow up may be the conclusion of the series, but I feel that I will not forget the giddiness I held while watching and re-watching both videos. Your craft is precious, and I would hope it is timeless as well. Whether you keep making sfm movies or not, your ability to persevere has given the community yet another reason to love the plasticity of tf2 and the creativity of those who use tf2 as a story medium.

Keep it up this is really good work can't wait to see more from you

FlyToRainbowRay, this was amazing! I loved it! It was like T2: Judgment Day, but in the future, and there was no Judgment Day. What I'm trying to say is that this is glorious! You put dozens of time and effort into making this and the end product was spectacular! You've made an incredible SFM, and I loved every second of it! Congratulations! Endless Rust 2 is a perfect 10/10! Keep up your amazing work, comrade!

прекрасная анимация и история, таких SFM по тф-ке сейчас действительно не хватает...

When the world needed him, he finally made his grand return

I loved this, didn't think it was going to get me that emotional 😭😭

This was such An amazing video, totally worth the long wait. I loved it and am Sharing it with all my friends.

That was a cinematic masterpiece the story, the quality of animation, everything, makes this the best sequel to an sfm I've ever seen.

This looks so fluid, the story is simple to follow and engaging, voicelines were carefully picked and they feel authentic and natural, the flow of the entire video feels so sweet to follow, I've caught myself on a thought that this looks like few high quality legacy pack X-Com 2 missions mashed together in order to create this beauty. It's easily the most pleasing to the eyes and ears SFM I've seen, it's on par with Emesis Blue, the length of which is greatly compensated by the amount of action per second in here. I remember Video Joker from "Who killed captain Alex?" repeating from time to time, that 'You are watching an action packed movie', and your work here is the epitome of action packed movies. What you did here shall echo in eternity.

You are incredible. Your work is fantastic and I loved every single minute of it. Even if you don't make another sequel to this, this was a great way to end it. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do next dude.

This is absolutely amazing work!

I dont remember the last time I clicked on a video title that fast Happy to see my favorite sfm get a proper sequel/conclusion Incredible work

Absolutely phenomenal direction and execution. Seriously, thank you for making such an impactful piece of art.

holy shit this was amazing man! im glad endless rust had a sequel, it is one of my favourite sfms. keep up the amazing work mate!

Dude, the way the bots and the way everything moves is awesome. Big Pyro rolling over those guys, that tank going haywire, all the clumsy stumbling by robots with single-minded determination to kill our protags. Super great animation!
