Interactions

Hero	Quote	Audio

Bastion	Torbjörn: I hate working with these talking tin cans!	File:Torbjörn - I Hate Working.ogg

Brigitte	Brigitte: Papa, what do you think of my armor? Torbjörn: Not bad, not bad! I'm glad you let me add a lil' something to it.
	Torbjörn: Your armor seems to be working well! I guess you were right about the core integration design. Brigitte: I knew you'd come around!
	Torbjörn: Isn't it enough to be an engineer, Brigitte? Brigitte: I felt like I had to do more.
Doomfist	Doomfist: Retirement suits you. Torbjörn: And I think a hammer upside your face would suit you!

Reinhardt	Torbjörn: I sometimes wonder if all that armor slows your brain down. Reinhardt: Ja. And I sometimes wonder if your height is why you're always in such a bad mood. (or) Reinhardt: Ah, could you say that again? Sometimes it's hard to hear you all the way down there.

Trivia

• Several of Torbjörn's voice lines are idiomatic expressions used in Sweden (although translated to English). They generally hint at that you should always be prepared before doing something. They are:

Voice Line	Swedish	Meaning
You're making a chicken out of a feather.	Du gör en höna av en fjäder.	You're making things look much worse than they really are.
Don't get caught with your beard in the letter box.	Fastna inte med skägget i brevlådan.	Don't get caught (red handed/unprepared/unaware).
Let's not buy the pig while it's still in the bag.	Köp inte grisen i säcken.	Don't pay for something unless you can be sure you know what you will receive.
They're like a cat walking around hot porridge!	De är som en katt som går runt het gröt!	Taken from the Swedish idiom "Gå som katten kring het gröt – To walk like a cat around hot porridge." Trying to avoid talking about an embarrassing or difficult topic.

The second to last is based on a supposed situation from which the phrase 'let the cat out of the bag' came, in which people would purchase a 'pig' kept in a sack, which would turn out to instead be a cat.

• The Halloween exclusive voice line "If you build it, they will die." is a possible reference to Engineer's achievement of the same name in Team Fortress 2. Both reference the line "If you build it, they will come" from the 1989 film "Field of Dreams."
• "I'm giving it all I've got!" may be a reference to Scotty's catchphrase "I'm giving it all she's got!" from the original Star Trek series, as both Torbjörn and Scotty are engineers and are typically clad in red.
• "You hear me baby? Hold together." is in reference to a line from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Han Solo says it as the Millennium Falcon is being pursued and fired upon by TIE fighters as the main characters escape the Death Star.
