Unused Weapons#

Unknown what the use of these weapons would've been for. All of these can be found in Multiplayer files.

• Prong Dagger: A pitchfork-like melee weapon with red prongs in the shape of a dagger. Meant for the Autobots.
• Long Sword: A... well, long sword. Meant for the Decepticons.
• Lancing Spear: Another generically named melee weapon. Meant for the Autobots.
• Hunting Dagger: Looks less like a dagger and more like a taser. Meant for the Decepticons.
• Serrated Blade: A very big serrated blade, complete with unique animations. Meant for the Autobots.
• Ceremonial Staff: Used in the outro to Kaon Prison Break by the High Council. Meant for the Autobots.
• Broad Sword: The Autobot version of the P.O.K.E..
• War Hammer: A big hammer. Possibly meant for the Autobots.
• Halberd Axe: A longer version of the default melee weapon used by truck characters. Meant for the Decepticons.
• Fighting Staff: Possibly the staffs used by Holo-Brutes.
• Repair Ray Turret: Similar to the Energon Repair Ray. Possibly cut because there was no practical use for it.
• TankVehicleMG: A modified and very small Neutron Assault Rifle that deals very little damage.

Unlike all other characters in the DLC, Zeta Prime was fully included in the PC edition of the game, making him a fully operational character with fully hi-res textures for both robot and vehicle modes.

Unused Text Strings#

in TransGame/Localization/Cooked/Coalesced.int are listings for more DLC maps, but it's unknown which were meant for Multiplayer or Escalation. Besides the first 7 (and Sector and Static), there were possibly 13 more maps planned for the game's DLC. There are also 8 more DLC map listings, but they're empty.

Unused Grenade Ability#

A very overpowered ability that lets you throw unlimited grenades. Possibly meant for testing.

Unused Split-Screen#

A very unfinished split-screen mode. The screen can be split up to 3 ways, meaning this could've possibly been meant for the Campaign.

Unused Cinematic#

An unused cutscene in the files shows Starscream rambling something with no audio present. The filename likely suggests it would've been in the level Dark Energon. However, Starscream has his Decepticon insignias on his wings, which he doesn't get until the ending cutscene of the chapter, so it's unknown just where it might've been placed.
