1. Mutant reinforcements. Was supposed to be available to GDI, but never made it.
2. Dropship bay.
3. Crate-only (I think) reserve power superweapon for Nod.
4. Meteor shower superweapon.
5. Construction Yard. You'll find this cameo in every C&C game, but it is never buildable.
6. Drop Pod/Threat Rating Nod cameo. Threat rating node (I believe) was supposed to make GDI base defences more intelligent and attack according to the size of the ThreatPosed tag. A larger number meant that they would attempt to destroy that instead of a weaker unit.
7. Spotlight tower. You generally see these buildings in single player a lot, and they were supposed to be buildable.
8. Orca Transport. Effectively replaced by the Orca Carryall.
9. Umagon. Was supposed to be a GDI hero unit like the Ghost Stalker, but only appeared in missions.
10. Light post. Was to be used for darker levels, as you have to remember that TS was supposed to have a more dynamic environment. If the level was dark, units had limited sight so light posts would combat this.

yes, the battery was for a weapon only nod would have, but was a one off. this would increse there power by a multipule for a peroid of time, then return back to normal after that time

The Orca Transport was not REPLACED by the Orca Carryall

The ORCATRAN acted like the TD/RA1 Chinook and transported 5 infantry units

The CARRYALL transports 1 single vehicle

2 very different jobs

On a side note, some of the buildings shown in the unused cameos above may seem quite pointless (Light Post, Spotlight Tower etc) however you have to take into consideration that the game now lacks many key features which where originally intended
In the case of the two buildings mentioned above, lighting was to be a much larger feature than what it was in the release, which is basically just eye candy and for creating atmosphere

P.S. I would have thought everyone knew what these cameos represented by now

Well the Carryall can move a loaded APC, which meant that infantry transport could be done like that.

There are always new people joining the forums. Unfortunatelly, (or fortunatelly) we are not the borgs from Star Trek where the community assimilates all knowledge to all individuals at the same time... maybe one day, maybe one day Wink

... for now, submit your mind to PPM #Tongue
