For the Melee 1: Even with lower damage, the fists have an ability: Taunt Kill. In 3 seconds, it can intantly kill anyone in its range save for and over healed Hoovy. (It deals 400 damage base)

Also, there are different consumables that boosts the Heavy: Sanvich and reskins, Dalokohs and Fishcake and of course, the Buffalo Steak Sanvich. Each helping the heavy in different ways. Sanvich being full health restore, Dalokohs being +50 max HP and Buffalo boosting speed and makes the Heavy deal Mini-crits.

Miniguns have the Highest DPS in TF2 (Specifically Brass Beast) And for Strike force heroes being the Sheep cannon (I killed the entire enemy team with it). Also, accounting ramp-up, the Shotty have a ramp-up of 90 damage and shoots every 0.625 seconds and reloads for 1.0 second for the first one and 0.5 for the rest.

If you consider the consumables, the Heavy would have edge against Tower in terms of HP and Melee.

On another note, Random crits!
