No, not for the FaN or Sandman. But for Bonk! Energy Drink. It's really simple: He can do objectives while in "Hyperspeed". Like for example, 3 Engies and 3 sentries camping the intel? No problem with the NEW and IMPROVED Bonk! Energy Drink. He'll just run in there grab the intel and then just run back out while taunting their Sentries' crappy aiming skills.
"But A Monkey's Uncle," you ask "wouldn't the knock back just push the scout away from the intel?" Well if bullets just miss him, how is he pushed back? This simple buff could potentially make choosing between Bonk! and the pistol a harder choice based on the situation. So that's my 2 cents on this. What do you guys think?

It actually would make bonk a worth while pistol replacement, IMHO though, this could make sentries useless for defending intel.

Bonk is good atm even though u can't do objectives as i love to use sentries to propel the scout to get places faster - an example is on dustbowl 1 someone builds a red sentry on the ledge to the gated tunnel i just bonk and jump and it propels me to the cp and i can cap it no damage done.

though not being hit by sentries would be great as running around when sentries shoot u won't be as bad. can get places faster XD

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here.

It's completely overpowered IMO

Well, why is it completely overpowered? I understand that it is pretty overpowered with this buff, but nothing gamebreaking, unless it's used strategically.

The scout's worst enemy is the sentry (or pyro, but for the sake of this statement, sentry.), and making him completely invulnerable to it (even though for a short period of time) is pretty overpowered. It's like the medic's ubercharge, but more overpowered.

So now scouts can invinici-cap the last point? Bonk has a pretty long duration in comparison to capping speed. Also, if theres a good defense, being able to just snatchit kind of screws everything over

Yeah, if a scout got to do objectives while invincible, then there'd be no defense at all.
