Lower life forms showed no signs of sentient behaviour, even though they acted in cohesion. Signs of humanoid Scrin were seen in Tiberian Sun as well, as the Scrin Ship interior was constructed with such species in mind, despite being constructed by Nod with the information from the Tacitus.įast-forward to 2006: the Scrin were designed by EALA as a swarm of different insect and machine types, showing certain traces of culture in their characteristic glyphs, but maintaining an insect-like hierarchy.

Although their appearance was rather unusual (but not uncommon in Sci-Fi), they showed no resemblance to insects (if we ignore the C&C/TS alien probe). The Scrin were imagined by Westwood as a tall and slender humanoid species when Tiberian Incursion was still under development. Unused Chrono Tank Concept #28 – Scrin Physical Appearance The first one was C&C: Attack Copter, in which one, obviously, played as the US Comanche in a retro gameplay style. Devil’s Tongue WIP (UTNK) – coding overwritten, but unused, in YRīetween 20, two Generals universe mini-games were available on Pogo.Probe (PROBE) – see C&C trivia entry #23.

Titan barrel (MMCHBARL)- rest was removed.

Red Alert 2 beta Light tank – coded, but overwritten by Lasher Light Tank in YR.

Red Alert 2 beta Paradrop Plane (CPLANE).

Similar to the previous entry, this is a list of all residual Tiberian Sun and beta TS and RA2 units found in Red Alert 2’s RA2.mix file. #25 – Residual Units in the Red Alert 2 Beta (Part 1) More Tiberian Sun alpha and beta shots are available here.

Probe (PROBE) – see previous C&C trivia entryĪll the mentioned units (except for the Mammoth tank) are without proper coding in TIBSUN.ini, but many of them have the necessary HVA files, as well as hull and turret voxels.

Artillery (ARTY) – different from the final.

Mammoth tank (4TNK) – used in campaigns.

However, when digging through the final game’s TIBSUN.mix file, one can stumble upon some residual units as well. These included the returning Heavy Tanks and Mammoth Tanks, of which the latter found use in certain campaign missions as a Forgotten unit. The Tiberian Sun beta builds had frequent appearances of units that were un-buildable in the final game. #24 – Residual Units in the Tiberian Sun Beta This quasi-infantry unit is logged as an Alien Probe, capable of firing narrow plasma beams, possibly filling the anti-infantry role. There has been many theories and fan speculation on what this was, with the most popular theory being the one that says it is the earliest Scrin appearance in Command & Conquer lore.Īlthough the question of that crash tile is still not answered, we do know that aliens were supposed to appear in Command & Conquer, at least according to concept art. #23 – Aliens in Command & ConquerĬommand & Conquer is known to have a strange tile with a crashed aircraft. The Tiberium version was lightweight enough to be air-dropped by Ironside Transports. It was to be revived in Tiberium, but it was cut along with the game. It appeared in The First Decade poster, but did not pass the concept stage. The Bull was a cut vehicle from Tiberium Wars which sports a similar appearance to the Predator Tank and uses the Mammoth Tank’s treads. She was called Megan, an ex-IRA demolition expert and stealth unit, thus being of opposite nature than Tanya’s. According to Adam Isgreen, Tanya was supposed to have a companion in Red Alert 1.
