Technosaur was supposed to be the Tech giant, being a dinosaur with a machine gun. This idea was scrapped in favor of Bouncer, but was repurposed in Trap Team into Chopper
Huh, who would have thought Skylanders of the Air Element are Stronger in this Zone. Jokes aside, this was a really cool video. I didn’t know Giants had so much interesting unused content! I would like to see more of these.
His attacks seem to be a combination of three. His ground smash creates a crack like Crusher, his dash is like Tree Rex, and the aimable cannon is like Bouncer.
I'm glad more people get to see these unused and earlier versions, it was so crazy when we were just finding out about stuff like german pop fizz back in 2021
I would guess that the Trigger-Happy-in-a-Mech's attacks don't actually have coded damage values so when something gets hit by them, the game doesn't know how much HP to take off, gets confused, and crashes.
A lot of these are actually really cool. Would've even prefered some of these over what we got in the final version of the game, were they to have been finished. Thanks for sharing! :D (12:40 Also big funny)
I believe Obscure Gamers, Winner Nombre and Skydude124 were the ones who originally found these builds, so a big thanks to them! There is also a debug Whirlwind, but it doesn't seem to have the required file to actually work on the Wii version. Said this in the video, but I'll repeat it here: Most of these are ONLY in the earliest discovered builds. The early versions of Sprocket, Ninjini, Thumpback and Jet-Vac are replaced with the final versions (of course). Other than that, Sniper is the only one to still be around in the final's files (Plus debug Whirlwind in non-Wii versions). If enough people want, I could upload a video about the early versions of enemies.
Still don’t know how to feel about melee Jet Vac tbh While the range is very helpful on his normal counterpart, I don’t know if he’s better off with kick moves that compliment the vaccum
the skylanders with no catchphrase use a sound that may sound familiar to roblox players from the early days as it seems they used the same sound as the roblox copy wand building tool
Want a reason as to why that red dragon exists for the Drow and Sniper? It's apperantly a prototype design for Spyro in the first game's pre-alpha (actual footage was shown with him from Toys for Bob themselves)! Why it's in the files of Giants is beyond me. Maybe because the alpha that you're playing is still in SSA's engine and all of the old files from that game are still in there, including the proto Spyro design? I dunno.
I've tried playing this beta with actual figures and a portal before. The ones that don't instantly error out (even the spyro's adventure figures will mess up for some reason?) only work if they're completely wiped, otherwise the game says there's a problem with the figure like 20 seconds into gameplay. Even if you do wipe the figures, something the beta writes to it eventually just makes them error out again like using a giant to pull that chain island or possibly getting special treasures and hats
Did 102_Rhino eventually become Headrush? Headrush is basically the drow goliath skylander, with her large size and bluer skin than other elves, along with 2 very similar moves.
ok so gourdian being water element is really odd to me. ive read earlier that it was the prototype name for melee jet vac whilst they were still developing the character; it makes sense for them to be using ignitors model as a placeholder, but the water element choice is very odd, especially since the idea seemed to have started when they realised there was a lack of melee air characters
To make things even stranger, turns out he can be loaded into SSA where he still shows as Water element in game but appears as Magic element in the character stats menu...
I love early thumpback's combos and the idea of combos in Skylanders combat. I know a lot of Skylanders already have their primary attack combo, but I feel like early thumpback's combos could've paved the way for more diverse Skylander combat. Still, I do enjoy combat as it is now, but a little sad they shied away from that concept
Can you do all skylanders portal intros or Ko animations no one has done a video on ko animations and I honestly never have seen any really since ur not likely to die on this game in normal
If Jet-Vac actually played like he did in this, I probably would've found him a lot more enjoyable
Very true. That was amazing.
Technosaur was supposed to be the Tech giant, being a dinosaur with a machine gun. This idea was scrapped in favor of Bouncer, but was repurposed in Trap Team into Chopper
10:50 it sounds like the troll is screaming in terror from the game crash.
True. It sounds like an avalanche.
Sounds like the troll said the n word and got obliterated
Huh, who would have thought Skylanders of the Air Element are Stronger in this Zone. Jokes aside, this was a really cool video. I didn’t know Giants had so much interesting unused content! I would like to see more of these.
Just to say
Rhino seems like a prototype tree Rex judgeing by the attacks
His attacks seem to be a combination of three. His ground smash creates a crack like Crusher, his dash is like Tree Rex, and the aimable cannon is like Bouncer.
I should mention the early Krypt King actually did have a name. Krypt King, at this point, was known as King Cut.
Neat! Thank you for the fun fact.
The fact the game crashes each time Trigger Happy's mech attacks just goes to show how powerful it truly is.
No crash, no glory.
8:10 menacing as all hell, with the music and all
I see what you mean. He looks peaceful though. You could imagine he's put into stasis, or floating on the water.
I'm glad more people get to see these unused and earlier versions, it was so crazy when we were just finding out about stuff like german pop fizz back in 2021
You mean the lightcore with two bottles? Ive actually seen that one in stores here in America.
I really liked the early version of Ninjini💜
same ^-^
Same only if they made that one available instead.
Indeed! I find Dijini and Spark are the most intriguing because they look so different than their finalization.
@@gta71000 Yes, a variation like Scarlet Ninjinni.
My god Meelee Jet-Vac looks so much more fun to play than his finalized version
Very true!
I would guess that the Trigger-Happy-in-a-Mech's attacks don't actually have coded damage values so when something gets hit by them, the game doesn't know how much HP to take off, gets confused, and crashes.
Seems logical. :)
Doesn’t make much sense since it deals the damage for the gun snout and then crashes
*skylanders of the air element are stronger in this zone.*
and farts
You know, i always thought krypt king looked like a rejected giant skylander, now i know why
Melee jet vac was such a cool concept, I’m sad they didn’t bring it back for Superchargers or something
Indeed! That was truly amazing! :)
A lot of these are actually really cool. Would've even prefered some of these over what we got in the final version of the game, were they to have been finished.
Thanks for sharing! :D
(12:40 Also big funny)
Very true! Indeed! I find Dijini and Spark are the most intriguing because they look so different than their finalization.
I have a suspicion that "technosaur" was in fact an early version of chopper
True.
I like the ninjini one she looks cool but the sound she makes
Yes, there's no variety in the voicelines.
But yes, she and Spark are the most intriguing because they look so different than their finalization.
what an underrated gem
Indeed!

Thx 4 that ✅
Btw DebugMinion isn't in Giants PS3
Hey thumpback, how big was that PSvita? 7:56
Hearing realistic gunshot sounds and reloading sounds sound WRONG in Skylanders
11:40 and i do NOT like how this nameless dragon stares at me
Still don’t know how to feel about melee Jet Vac tbh
While the range is very helpful on his normal counterpart, I don’t know if he’s better off with kick moves that compliment the vaccum
Trigger happy found a bigger gun
That broke everything
This is very interesting to see tbh
Very true.
the skylanders with no catchphrase use a sound that may sound familiar to roblox players from the early days as it seems they used the same sound as the roblox copy wand building tool
I came from Skylanders Music Rips, I made sure to subscribe!
Thanks for all your comments there, I enjoy reading them :)
@@OneOddGamerYT Your welcome. I try to connect with fellow Skylanders fans as much as I can.
@@Kingofportals Hi there. If you're interested, I uploaded all the Minis' voicelines. :)
Woah, some of these things are cool, no. REALLY COOL! This makes me want to add this to my Wii since I have a copy of giants.
Indeed! I find Dijini and Spark are the most intriguing because they look so different than their finalization.
11:55 That is straight up a claymore.
Seeing chop chop daddy is pretty surreal

I figured it was simply a placeholder, but you might be right.
They should’ve kept Rhino lol! A playable Goliath Drow would be fucking awesome, and it’s attacks are all really cool looking too.
i appreciate how the troll mech stomps so hard that it destroys the concept of time
also, where are skylanders of the air element stronger again?
How did you manage to make these Characters playable? Though it would be cool to finally play as Krypt King and sniper!
Really sorry this is so late, but I finally made a tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/es8EWW2gz2Q/v-deo.html
3:36 ayo ninjini why are you making those noises 😨
sniper's "barricade" might be a claymore mine
That makes sense.
Thumpback really just be Kratos

That red dragon looks like a small version of Flavius from Dragon's Peak.
Ninjinis moans made me wildly uncomfortable
Some of them would be played using UFC cards?
Nope, none of them have ids
that troll mech giant couldve been awesome, i would like him more than the bouncer
melee jet vac would be so much better
True.
I would like to know how to play as the scrapped characters. It would add a lot to my content
Apologies for how late this is but here: ua-cam.com/video/es8EWW2gz2Q/v-deo.html
@@OneOddGamerYT It is fine.
This is so cool
Did 102_Rhino eventually become Headrush? Headrush is basically the drow goliath skylander, with her large size and bluer skin than other elves, along with 2 very similar moves.
I'd really love if someone could mod it so jet-vac can have his melee moveset back in.
ok so gourdian being water element is really odd to me. ive read earlier that it was the prototype name for melee jet vac whilst they were still developing the character; it makes sense for them to be using ignitors model as a placeholder, but the water element choice is very odd, especially since the idea seemed to have started when they realised there was a lack of melee air characters

No
Are there nfcs for these?
No
Can you do all skylanders portal intros or Ko animations no one has done a video on ko animations and I honestly never have seen any really since ur not likely to die on this game in normal
I would but I don't have all Skylanders

Where can I find these beta versions? Are they Wii only?
Beta chompy bot looks so cool.
Strange to see skylanders like this
The tech giant being a small guy in a big robot would've been so much better and more unique than bouncer.
Why did they make sprocket worse than spark??
If only she could build turrets faster.
Have you uploaded the dump files for these characters anywhere?
There are none..
do you think you could give us a download link that is a rom?
ua-cam.com/video/hX8Ft189P1Q/v-deo.html
Check description of that
How do people find this
Ngl Sprocket wouldn've sold so much better if she stayed a Green Elf
Which version of alpha do you use?
All of them, depending on what I'm trying to do. If you want more unused stuff, I'd recommend builds 1-3
Yes Level 10
What did you use to play the beta?
Dolphin emulator, the alpha/beta builds are on internet archive
Just say color Is the same but without the u
Colour is the correct spelling where I am so I will continue spelling it that way
just because your country has the same spelling like Europeans dusin't mean is spelled differently or not
how could i use them
