Kitty0706 was the YouTube alias of Colin Wyckoff, a young Garry's Mod animator whose comedic Team Fortress 2 machinima shorts pulled tens of millions of views between 2009 and 2014. Wyckoff died of leukemia in January 2015 at age 20, and years later the TF2 community rebuilt his most popular video, Team Fabulous 2, as a hundred-animator tribute that raised over $22,000 for leukemia research.

Overview

The Kitty0706 channel built its audience around Team Fortress 2 characters, especially the Heavy, dropped into absurd everyday sitcom scenarios that ranged from bowling nights to getting sucked inside a Valve game1. Wyckoff animated everything inside Garry's Mod, using video game crossovers and the loose sketch humor typical of late-2000s YouTube6.

Wyckoff's most popular video, Team Fabulous 2, put the TF2 mercs on the community mario_kart map and turned the whole scene into a chaotic multi-class brawl set to pop music2. The short passed 25 million views on YouTube by August 2020, keeping it his best-known upload years after his death7.

Wyckoff launched the Kitty0706 YouTube channel on April 14, 2007, and posted his first video that September, a short called 'True Crime: Criminal Justice: Part 1' built with debug mode footage from the 2005 game True Crime: New York City6. His breakout arrived on June 25, 2009, with a Garry's Mod short of the TF2 Heavy ordering an Xbox 360 from Amazon, which pulled more than 3.6 million views in the years after release1.

How It Spread

Wyckoff's audience grew fast through the early 2010s. 'Heavy Goes Bowling' (August 2009) and 'Heavy's Retarded Holiday' (December 2010) each cleared 4 million views on YouTube, and September 2011's 'Mass Defect' crossed 3.4 million2. Team Fabulous 2 followed on February 22, 2012, and 'Ass's Creed: Enter the Anus,' a Team Fortress 2 crossover starring the Assassin's Creed character Desmond Miles, went up on February 21, 20137.

His last upload, a highlight reel from an Alan Wake livestream, went live on November 13, 2014. Wyckoff died from leukemia complications on January 25, 2015, and the next day FacePunch member SirDavid255 opened a memorial thread that pulled nearly 400 replies over the following two weeks6. Also on January 26, Redditor wickedplayer494 posted the news to /r/tf2, where the thread drew over 4,000 upvotes and 1,000 comments from grieving fans4.

The community kept the tributes coming for years. On February 4, 2015, YouTuber DasBo Schitt uploaded a memorial short3. Then on January 10, 2020, the @Teamfabulous2R Twitter account announced a full redraw of Team Fabulous 2 to honor Kitty0706 and raise money for leukemia research5. The finished piece, 'Team Fabulous 2: Reanimated,' involved over a hundred animators and dropped on July 6, 2020, pulling 1.8 million views and raising over $22,000 within two months3.
