I'll admit it, the wait is near to causing me physical harm. So, in the spirit of staving off insanity what are YOU hoping to see come the glorious dawn of new engineer toys?
What do YOU want out of the Engineer update?

Funny names for achievements, and something to help offensive engie I geuss.
(Oh and the comedy option of a ROBOT)

The Engineer needs to be more combat-minded.I realize that the entire point of the Engy is not to go into combat, but he's useless in the heat of battle. Once the Engy has his little base built and upgraded, he's rooted to the spot. He needs to have either increased health or damage to make him useful outside of Defence.
Also robots.

I want this new shotgun from mac update trailer!
Also, i hope that there will be no changes affecting spies - they are well balanced (if engineer is alone, otherwise they are useless). Something like spy finder would make spies totally useless.
EDIT:
Lonan - Team Fortress 2

I want it out quick or I'll miss it.
Next Wednesday I'll be going to Japan for a week without PC so I won't be able to play then and after that I've only four days until I've to go to army which will last from half to one year (and only time I'll be able to play then will be during the holidays).
We need a SPYBOT! It should be shaped like spy's head and it could spit cigarettes (that will lit the player on fire for small amount of time) at anyone who is sapping nearby friendly buildings. It could be attached to walls so they wouldn't be so easy to spot. THAT would be AWESOME.
Honestly though Engie needs new weapons. I think Pistol is almost better than Shotgun. Whenever opponent (spy) gets too close I usually just use Teh Wrench and Pistol is the only way to hit far away opponents bit more accurately (Shotgun is better suited for closer range battle).
What I'm glad to see is that there will be a new weapon and it looks like it would replace Shotgun instead of Pistol.
Sentry, Dispenser and Teleports are all good and though it would be cool to see something new upgradeable stuff but I'm not sure what I would want.

I think the updates along the road have almost been better than the final engie update ever COULD be.
Updating Homewrecker to remove sappers like the community asked? AWESOME.
Total rework of Pyro to reward skill more? AWESOME.
New community items for Demoman and Scout? AWESOME.
I'm sure I've missed some other things out, but I've really been pleasantly surprised by all the recent updates. If they carry on with these minor updates at this quality (NO DALOKOHS BAR!), I could easily take another six months to a year before the engie update.
EDIT: O_O Shotgun kicks ass! How could you prefer the pistol?!
Using shotgun on a pub server, engies can do some serious damage. Especially on Demomen of all kinds
.
EDIT2: Also, Wrench sucks. There, I said it.

A Flamethrower turret, A new Shotgun, A pistol replacement and a new building.
Or just some of those things would be fine.
But most importantly of all I want some new silly hats!

No bugfixes constantly over the following days after release.
Valve can't even release an update without something being broken. Which makes me wonder if they playtest their own game at all.

Meet the Pyro.
The Morgan sounds good though, I hope that's what the new shotgun is.
But really I don't play enough engie to know what he needs, an near instant building capped at level 1 sentry would be good for offensive though, which is sort of what the morgan is.
