As we know, the weekend update, which teased us with the crafting system, also came with a funny comic about Saxton Hale. In that comic was a “hidden page”, which people refer to as Poor Monkey, named after the link you have to click on the comic. On that page, which is designed to look like a page from an old magazine or newspaper, it offers the ability to buy collectable plates commemorating the failed attempt at launching the monkey Poopy Joe into space.
Those four plates display a pickaxe, sword, bugle, and explosion respectively. Now from the moment I saw this, I was drawn to that, because a sword and pickaxe could both be melee weapons, be it slightly odd ones for a game like Team Fortress 2. However, since the first demoman weapon IS actually a sword, could that mean that the soldier will get a pickaxe? What do you think?
Also, Valve is amazingly good at teasing us.

They ‘are’ big giant cock teases. But it’s horrifying trying to picture Gabe Newell in a catsuit.
I want to see some fan art of the Soldier with Poopy Joe (2 or before his unfortunate death), hopefully some of it pops up around Deviant Art. Soldier could have monkey minions for all we know.
*Managed to scar the minds of a few people who read that first part.*
The bonus weapon is a panzerfaust that launches live motherfucking monkeys
Oooooh! That’s a good theory, actually, here’s to hoping his update it today!
Yeah, well the first of his weapons (primary slot) was revealed, so there goes SOME of the mystery
