Editing Militant (section)

==Trivia==
*When '''John''' was first added to the game, its upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "swager21".
**It was the only tower that did not include the word "sans" in its upgrade description at the time of its release.
*This tower used to be redeemable with the now expired [[Codes|code]]: J0HNRBX.
*The '''Militant''' (when it was originally called '''John''') had an ability called ''Gorilla Sounds'' which increased the damage of most towers within its range by 30%. This lasted 10 seconds and had a 30 second cooldown.
**During [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], this ability was renamed to ''Enraging Shout''.
**This ability could not increase the damage of the following towers:
***Any projectile-based towers: the [[Mortar]], [[Rocketeer]], [[Demoman]], [[Freezer]] (splash damage only; its direct, non-explosive, damage can be increased), [[Paintballer]] and [[Archer|Holiday Archer]].
***The [[Ace Pilot]] bombs, [[Commando]] missiles or [[Pursuit]] missiles, as they all count as projectiles.
***The [[Slasher|Shredder]] when its ''Knife Throw'' ability was activated, as the knives it threw counted as a projectile.
***The [[Pyromancer]]'s burn damage or the [[Swarmer]]'s bee damage.
****The [[Pyromancer]]'s normal damage could still be increased.
***The [[Shotgunner|Enforcer]].
***All units.
*This tower was originally dedicated to YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX].
**Before the addition of this tower, the [[Paintballer]] was considered John's tower.
**The ''Enraging Shout'' ability was based on various noises that he would make in his videos.
*The now removed ''Enraging Shout'' ability would play various sound effects, with some skins having their own specific sound effects.
**The regular ''Enraging Shout'' sound was voiced by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX]. There were four lines:
***"''Oh you think you're hard, you think you're hard ya dumb old zombies, shred em, shred em, shred em, shred!''"
***"''Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!''" with a scream at the end.
***Sounds resembling that of a gorilla, specifically one going "''oo-oo-oo''" repeatedly.
***"''Yeah, get em, get em, get em, yeah, yeah, get em!''"
**The {{Color|Unobtainable|Pumpkin}} skin for '''Militant''' had two sound effects, both of which are laughs.
**The {{Color|Deluxe|Ace Pilot}} skin for '''Militant''' had one sound effect that was only used during [[Hardcore Testing BETA|Hardcore Testing]], prior to that it did not play anything. The one line was:
***"''kakugo surun yo''"
****In English, it translates to "Ya better be prepared!".
****This is a reference to JOHN ROBLOX's video, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_NfKixI3Sk zerotwo but in roblox], although the actual sound effect comes from the anime [[w:c:macross:Macross Δ|Macross Delta]].
*The '''Militant''' still uses '''John''' upgrade icons from [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], even though its design has been drastically changed.
*The '''Militant''' was the only tower that used a reloading system, until the [[Cryomancer]] was released.
**The '''Militant's''' reloading system was removed in the [[v1.1.0|Entity System Update]].
*The '''Militant''' has the most category changes for a tower, as it has been moved from Starter to Intermediate and the other way around, as it changed a total of three times.
