Cut content
This article covers content which was scrapped from the Unreal series. These items might have been considered at some point, as there is proof of them in betas or screenshots, but for some reason were not featured in any Unreal game.

The Robot is a cut enemy type from Unreal.

Overview

There are three enemy types named "Robot".

The first one is called "Droid/Cyborg". It's a sentry/maintenance robot with articulate arms, a mounted laser and a mounted welding torch. Both of these tools act as its long range and close range attacks respectively.

The other is called "Robot/Cyborg". It's an updated version of the above that coexists with it, being instead a walking robot. It contains a large barrel pulse laser and bobs down through corridors looking for things to eliminate.

A third robot class named "Sentry Droid" is mentioned as being a spherical Turret with dual lasers.

Trivia

Development

• Robots were supposed to be encountered in Alien Spacecraft.
• A few types of Robot enemies were intended to feature in Unreal, but were ultimately cut. No build of the game containing them or the models themselves have ever surfaced in source leftover. The only surviving original model is the turret one.
• The screenshots come from the 1996 guide that only showed polygon view versions of all the models.
• Its possible the robot/cyborg type mentioned in unbible (that doesn't appear in the screenshots section of the earlier document) evolved into those Robot suits in ISVKran as decoration.

Design Notes

"Name: Robot 1

Description: These old sentry/maintenance robots are sleek, if a good bit worn. Quick and highly maneuverable, they will attempt to perforate you from a distance with the laser, mounted on one of the articulated arms. If they fail that, they will surely cut you to pieces with the welding torch mounted on the other."

"Name: Robot 2

Description: This is a slightly newer model of the old sentry robot. It touts a large barrel pulse laser, as it slowly bobs down corridors in search of quarry."

"Sentry Droid - A small spherical Droid with duel laser turrets. Similar to the Turret, except that it slowly bobs down hallways."
