Right away, we notice the Airthorn. (as "Digital Flyer Swarm"; the Airthorn is a known unused enemy)

There are also several unused Prime 1 enemies- Zoomers, Stone Toads, (non-mech) Triclops, and Elite Pirates.

Lots of changed names, too- For example, the Harmony/Diligence Drones are "Atomic" and "Beta Atomic".

Dark Flying Pirate is visible; there are no Dark Aerotroopers. Now, this list is in the same file as what seems to be the version the game actually uses.

More later. This is literally one of the first things I saw in LogBook.pak.

Seems they actually cleaned up their mess in this one! Logbook.pak is otherwise dry.

Interesting bit of text, though:

Weapon systems have been infected with the Rezbit Virus. Should recover momentarily.

Also, it looks like a rendition of the Ridley theme would have been selectable in multiplayer, along with the Omega Pirate music:

Dark Preed scan data is loaded in Sanctuary Fortress/Ing Hive. Looks like those enemies were intended to appear there.

Multiplayer was to have a powerup called the "Dark Shield", and a matching "Light Shield".

Dark Shield lost!

Dark Shield acquired!

Light Shield lost!

Light Shield acquired!

And one called "Absorb Attack"...

Absorb Attack lost!

Absorb Attack acquired!

Oh, look. Another old scandata list. Stored in exactly the same way the one full of creatures was. This seems to be full of Research and Inventory entries. Including some unused weapons...

Annihilator Bomb
Dark Bomb
Light Bomb

...huh. Those would have been interesting.

They're also on the used list, but everything else on it appears ingame. In the used list, they're included right after the Power Bomb, in the same order as the beams. I have no fucking clue how they would have worked. Both lists associate these with the beams- and the Power Bomb with the Power Beam.

EDIT: Menu once contained an Extras tab like Prime 1. This is where Prime 1 had NES Metroid and the Fusion Suit...

I think, these shields were based of the matching beams.
"Light Shield" would block "Light Beam", while "Dark Shield" would block "Dark Beam"...
...heck, these would even make sense!

Plausible, but we don't know anything about them.

Only reason the Anni/Light/Dark bombs have any more info is because the structure of the list gave something away. Those were in separate strings; no such luck there.
