Overwatch Animated Short | "The Last Bastion" 

Sorry, we gave that roll to a small, unrelatable, trash compactor robot. Maybe another day Bastion.

Jarrett Edwards So, WALL-E with birds?

Robbie Rotten More like Iron Giant with a bird instead of a boy and a far more interesting setting

You mean Bastion and JonTron

Jarrett Edwards ID BUY 27 COPIES

I'm fortifying this position, my primarch!

Gun is robot

oh god who touched sasha?

*ahem* WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?

Makes sense in-universe too: Regular omnics are established as sentient, so omnium-made battle omnics with nothing but "shoot shoot shoot" in their initial programming would essentially be like newborn babies. Incredibly dangerous newborn babies with machine guns, but all the more reason to promptly administer "Look! A birdy!" therapy

Monica can effing die.

What is omnics?

@@ProbablyHanzo420 The Robots in Overwatch, Zenyatta and Ramattra for example

@@timmy2210 ironically bastion is not an omnic.

Not trying to invalidate your point but bastion isn't an omnic.

When you wave in sentry form he uses the repair hand as it's a reuse of assets from ow1

Now bastion himself isn't in the game anymore

@@theyunvme now he's back and no longer waves with the repair hand

@@HelluvaGabbs0920 yes he does. I just checked

I miss OW1 bastion 😭😭

That's Bastion for ya. He's considered as overpowered, but I wouldn't know myself. I never played OverWatch, but I really want to.

William Crist erm... he was overpowered in the first year of overwatch, maybe, when no one knew how to fight him. Now? Honestly I think he’s the worst character in the game. He can dish out damage, yes, but with any coordination or like one ultimate your team should be able to dislodge a bastion.

Nick von Imhof not when the enemy team has a Reinhardt, Orisa, and Mercy protecting him. Makes it impossible to do anything about it

Tyler Wheeler Tyler Wheeler there are a variety of things you can do. First off, dive comp works well. Simultaneously jumping on bastion with Winston, D.Va, and two flankers should be enough to dislodge him, especially with defense matrix available to eat up his return fire as you assassinate him. If you don’t want to do dive, you can also fight fire with fire and run a bastion and some shield tanks of your own, then just shred enemy shields and bastion faster than they can break yours. Junkrat helps with this because of his insane shield break, and mercy damage boost will help your bastion destroy shields faster too. Also Baptiste’s lamp is amazing because if you place it behind cover, your bastion gets 5 seconds of literal immortality during which he can melt the enemy bastion with no consequences. If you can’t kill the bunker comp with coordination alone, ultimates work. Dragonstrike and self destruct forces bastion to move or die, during which your team can rush him and kill him when he’s vulnerable while relocating. (Lucio speedboost is also useful here if you aren’t using dive heroes.) Sym’s wall can completely block his sight lines on you guys, EMP literally nullifies bastion AND all the shields protecting him, riptire can destroy they entire comp provided your junk is good enough to sneak it behind them, sound barrier or trans gives your team the tankiness to ignore his damage and outright kill him... the list goes on. The main reason bastion is annoying is not because he’s OP, but because countering him takes a lot more coordination than playing bunker with him. That’s why you see him in lower ranks but in higher ranks where people are able to work together more fluidly, he isn’t very good. Sorry for the essay lmao

@@zoroken2946 definitely not impossible. you just need coordination.

Alexisgay I mean, I’ve been both when playing Bastion

This is the origin story so he joined overwatch and probably has no choice

That cuz he hears the woodpecker

Ikr what an emotionless killing macine

LoL

Cute BIrb.

good birb.

We luv birb

we love ganymede.

For reals. It’s so sad

You sure remember E-102 Gamma

Same

I came here after watching "Sympathy for The Machine" From curious archive. The whole concept of a war machine refusing war is so poetic and sad at the same time.

NUR ZULAIKHA BINTI ABDULLAH - interesting how this time the REPLY got all the likes

yes lol

because it caused the bird's nest to get destroyed?

I think the joke was that POTG sometimes seems to go to someone that did basically nothing.

Yes I noticed that too! Love that detail.

yea i noticed that immediately

You have discovered cinematography

its a pretty up front detail :)

Also it stands in a way so that its hand is on the left side, and its gun is on the right. I see it as a symbolism, the hand is its sentient, "human" side, and the gun is its "follow orders" side.

Glad someone else realized that lol

I don't even know what this is, but this was recommended to me after I watched that trailer 😅

Exactly...

That Robot Is Zog’s Brother At This Point

I came back here from a different video but thanks for recommending that one. It looks cool.

lmfao!!

lol

he was camping, and waiting, but the enemy team sucked so bad they couldn't even move the payload to the checkpoints.

lmao

Best comment award goes to you.

Sometimes, talking dilutes the purity of wonders.

Bastion is so wholesome

Sorry, Was just putting the finishing touches on my turret. She's a beauty, just finished putting on some polished wood paneling too.

Is it him that's triggered or you?

Yes, my team is full of peckers ;)

robots cant have ptsd its in his programing. Gunshots= high alert

You forget that Bastion is an omnic which are robots so advanced they claim to have souls and real emotions hence the Widowmaker short showing people with omnic partners in relationships.

Makes me cry everytime

It is their best one. None of the others hit nearly as hard.

This is the best one in my opinion, followed closely by "Honor and Glory"

imo the one for Sigma was better by a little bit, but this for sure take the second place

@@thatdudefromthehood2960 Creative? Absolutely better in my opinion. But animation wise? No

AND THEN BLIZZARD DELETED HIM D:

@@sunsetdreamss He's back now and rampaging the rank ;)

@@sunsetdreamss Bastion is back and dominating.

I think they wanted to do a movie, but decided to make a game instead so they can have a reason to make all of these animations

Overwatch sprung from the remnants of a spiritual successor to World of Warcraft, actually.

I would pay that much too, as long as they don't do what Warcraft did

i know! PTSD can be coded - and apparently uncoded by bird squeaks

+Austin Johnson gg ez *Filter activates* OH NO PROBLEM, I WE CAN STILL LAUGH AT IT!!

+Lìu because it was one of the most brutal wars with out a good reason to fight for and the only war America pulled out of

i said that lol still funny because your name and profile pic

If World War II was an epic, the Cold War was a spy thriller and the Korean War was an action film, Vietnam would be a horror. It's synonymous with insanity in war for a reason.

Maybe he should take meditative lessons from Zenyatta.

Bastion is JonTron confirmed.

+Nojatha XD I actually laughed so loud

ikr

He wears that programming out by playing Overwatch o3o

Bastion, the Iron Giant, Bumblebee and Wall-E will become best Friends for sure.

Arfi J well that was uncalled for

He didn t lol

I actually hope this happens, especially since it’s been established that bastion is currently with Torbjorn, and OW2 shows how overwatch is officially back.

It's said that you would destroy overwatch not join them!!

Glad someone else realized that lol

I think they literally predicted the future

Yay 💯 now

The way the entire forest is baked in darkness when his PTSD takes hold after the entire scenery was so bright and beautiful was an amazing shift of tone.

Hahaha

Ay

there was no talking

Sherlock? Is that you?

it adds to it that this comment have 69 likes looooooool

more like robot with war ptsd after years of being deactivated going against its programming

I bet that the army or the police would have destroyed it

Why need overwatch then if omnics like bastion can be dealt with easily

That is a complete lie.. (Aks)

Reminds me of the first part of WALL-E last of his kind and only ambient sounds

Ikr

Silent movies are a genre that needs to come back. There's so many ways you can explain a narrative and create emotion without speech.

It's like wall-e, but with no dialogue

and really good ingame. M I N I G U N

He has a hand?

Well there were also the books

@@bouncybubble the books came out like... 5 months before this short, which is pretty close

Was hoping someone would be here thinking the same thing 😂

Funny because no one compares them to DreamWorks (or other animators lol).

+Pickle Johnson Dreamwho?

so true haha never noticed that!

+Pickle Johnson probably cause pixar is the most famous/one of highest quality animators (note i said ONE of highest quality, i didnt say they are the best, so dont get your panties in a twist)

+Pickle Johnson Because other 3d movie animators don't hit the feels as hard as Pixar or this short.

top ten lies told in history before suspect was taken away to custody

Level 5 RU-vid Hero he said the SAME way

Bastion is my favorite character, which is why your ranked higher then me.

Miners In The Mist yes become one with the bastion

Miners In The Mist Same!!!

On over watch 2?

@@SKull0856 What do you mean Overwatch 2? Overwatch released only recently, they couldn’t have made a sequel to a game that was released less than a month ago.

Overwatch was released in 2016 and Overwatch 2 has been released this year

@@SquishyPiGeon What are you on about? There is no Overwatch 2, Overwatch is a newly released video game. Whatever you were playing in 2016, it wasn’t Overwatch. Could you have possibly been playing Apex Legends at the time instead?

@@KAKATCam nice troll

No

1 bastion couldn't take the entire city

Qarasmatic _ considering that he is a weapon of war he probably could have taken down have the city

Qarasmatic _ the city wouldn’t have been expecting it They would have no forces prepared for it They would’ve been able to call people but the city would’ve taken heavy blows by the time they came

@@dragonboi6744 A bastion does not even have the fire capability of a tank even with his 'ult'. Sure many would die but you kind of underestimate the police force. Keep in mind the police still have access to a decent arsenal and could even spring in an ambush, not to mention the bastion is probably weakened and is rusty so it would be so easy for bullets to pierce its body

i think its more to make people hate bastion mains less

You know, the more that i think about it, the more i realize that in any Overwatch match, Bastion is probably the most miserable since he's likely stuck in a PTSD-induced nightmare hallucination for the duration of the match.

They have no reason to nerf Bastion though since he has the most counters and is almost never picked in competitive.

Good thing the matches aren't canon.

If you know which hero counters him he is easy to kill

Absolutely. It's a shame what Blizzard has become

bastion is too cute ;~; i want bastion mini figure

omg i can just imagine that

No one can really hate that adorable robo... Even if he's really dangerous in-game. =w=

nope. still hate him

lol

That One Guy Yes. THEY LITERALLY MADE A ROBOT THAT CAN EXPERIENCE PTSD!! I think it went like: Programmer: Let's make a robot... Builder: Okay, sure! Programmer: ... Make it experience PTSD. Builder: Why...? Programmer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's not PTSD he's having that robot's memories

Actually, it is. The woodpecker's repeated pecking which echoed in the woods triggered it, making him believe he was taking part in a firefight. After he's recovered, he's then horrified by his actions.

The Lich poor bastion.

its actually kinda sad in a way :/ they make him seem very gentle then show that even a machine can have ptsd.

Ur comment is a godsend

BulletShaba I too got reminded of wall-e

BulletShaba Bastion is basically a bigger and more dangerous version of Wall-E

Wall-E is deadly ok. Wall-E has a trash compactor.

Pretty sure he's inspired by the iron giant movie

Hey! I see you don't have Windows 10 yet what we to fix that?

It seems like your weapon driver is out of date

you have 2000 updates that need to be installed

Would you like to upgrade to configuration: tank? Yes Absolutely Definitely

First match: I need to get rid of these stored bullets somehow. Riddling your body with them should do the trick.

Aaahhh... where's this line from??? Chappie?

Randy Lynch If I’m correct I believe it’s a parody of a line said in the anime my hiro academia

Ikr!

SOOOO TRUEEE THEY CAN BE EASY AN ANIMATION STUDIO

siting and waiting for the overwatch movie. any moment now .....

Animating a movie compared to an animated short is pretty different. Either way, it is great though.

now they'll be the new disney partner :D

so uh... should I delete my comment?

This short reminds me a lot of The Iron Giant honestly

Because all of the human characters in the game have mouths. And when they open those mouths, Blizzard's atrocious writing falls out of them.

Because they're losing theirs in the war while he's finding his after it...

@@Dessicator1 I was going to say something similar. Characters who can't speak are forced to be more expressive through their actions and the way they interact with the world.

It's WALL-E with PTSD

sugoruyo wow thats an actual really good explanation

Is anubus still even in the overwatch lore?

@@siulyeoj what?

@@siulyeojyeah its never left

Doom eneral

Baston

@@FitzIsBetterThanYou wow

Let the dark harvest begin

Lol

Carl pixar... really?

Kyrin Van Jura The art style of these animations looks to me as if pixar could make something great with them seeing as it's very similar.

Pixar can make some really good looking animations my dude

blizzard has proven already that they don't need Pixar to create incredible animations

Pixar makes animated movies focused mainly at children. I would also love an overwatch movie but Pixar wouldnt make a movie about animated guns. if blizzard gets enough money to make their own movie just like WoW movie

The movie will end in 2 minutes, the ending is him killing everyone

yes

Bastion, the Bipolar Princess.

I hope so

The credits is just "Play of the game"

So underated

🤣🤣

So true

Sounds like an American high school.

@@applesass of course we gotta give credit to our schools here in America...

You too huh?

well overwatch WAS gonna be a movie

wow subs

it SHOULD be a movie

Blizzard make more than enough money, they have huge hits like Hearthstone and Diablo under their belt. Overwatch was just another huge success for them.

Where doe they get the money? Oh, just from these little known games you've probably never heard of, World of Warcraft, Diablo, a few others, nothing major.

true, true

*cough* Hawkeye Gough scene copy *cough*

Maybe they just paid a third party to do it

Yeah! The same things you mentioned remind me why I love animation!

Bruh, 40k universe is gonna make you kack your pants

In fact, that something really surprising me in this video. How desesperate was the situation to send infantry in an open field against thousand of Bastions? Even the fighters are ignoring the enemy mothership to engage in low flight the enemies in the ground.

@@MolotovKiller I assume they couldn't evacuate the city in time and decided to take the battle on the outskirts rather than in the city itself, the crusaders worked as mobile defenses so that would have at least helped a bit and maybe the fighters didn't engage the motherships because the omnis had interceptors.

for a second there I misread that as yaoi adults.

Not my style. But, hey, it's Blizzard, and based on their work here I'd say they also could make BANK on that sector as well ;D

Yup. I'd love to see something like that. As seen in the Warcraft movie, the real life actors stick out like sore thumbs in an otherwise beautiful CGI landscape. Just leave em out. Or create equally comic-esque charicatures, with superhero-chins and triangle-shaped torsos :D

HaploidCell I think the problem with the live actors in Warcraft have more to do with the lackluster acting/script.It pretty much shows when Orc character with less screentime /dialogues have more depth to them than real live "acting".

I hope not, when you say YA, it reminds me of those YA films, so, please no. Pixar films are deeper than you think, YA, adults, children, all are included, it's universal.

Yeah but he isn’t made of trash Oh wait

LOL

@@terribletree7933 True XD

True

SuperTree 9678 not made of trash, only played by it.

needs to be from blizzard and not from some other directors, yet full animation no real people.
