[@eyeofthebox913]

“Size Matters”, “Now with protection”, “ Some things must be done from behind”, are we not gonna talk about any of these?!

[@gigaswardblade7261]

"watch out for its freezing nips" "slobber in the hole"

[@gigaswardblade7261]

@samanthahill9856 escuzi?

[@TheMiningMeteor]

You aren’t gonna mention “beware of the frozen nips”???

[@PGold3]

what about "Slobber in the hole!"

[@agentblackbird9435]

“The ears aren’t the only pointy thing”

[@frogmouth2]

I think they realized that fighting a giant robot on the 5th level would soften the impact of the final boss. Robo kaos definitely wouldn’t be as imposing if we had already beaten up a big robot piloted by a different fool.

[@archdukefranzferdinand2568]

also, battling a robot in the level right after we battle a. robot would seem weird. And the fight seems somewhat similar to another bossfight, Drill X, so it become repetitive

[@_antisocialmedia6377]

I think Drill-X might've also played a role, *three* giant robot fights built up throughout the chapter where you damage the boss by attacking its "arms" might've been considered a little much

[@susanclay4225]

It’s probably why you didn’t actually fight the conqueror on in level 1 as well, because 3 giants robot bosses where you attack its arms would have been a little repetitive

[@madsceptictrooper6803]

Fun fact: the prototype pirate Blaze Brewers are actual enemies in the 3DS versions of Giants and Swap Force.

[@th3crazyguard1an85]

D riveters "Rosie would be proud" hint ie hilarious Bioshock reference in my skylanders game? Its more likely then youd think

[@jonvlc]

damn cant believe chompy mage has one of kaos' concepts AND HE HAS THE CONCEPT HAS A MODEL. hopefully someone uses ninjaripper on this

[@OneOddGamerYT]

I have but I don't know how to import it into Blender

[@Physi0ninja]

You can actually clone Drill X in the final game by using glitches. I think the speedrun uses it to speed up the boss fight.

[@Elgi72]

I can make Tech Skylanders during his Fight Stronger.

[@megamegatron99]

the unused drow archer is quite pretty, tbh

[@GerudoKing_]

Yeah, she ain’t half-bad to look at. Honestly, that would be so much better than what we actually got.

[@marcuskha3727]

The unused robot boss fight in Glacier Gully reminds me of the Lost Imaginite Mines boss fight, including the apparent healing back to full health at the end

[@OneOddGamerYT]

Sorry for the inconsistent mic/voice quality. This is my first time using my voice for a video and so it's a bit awkward. Also this was supposed to be up way earlier in the day but rendering the video took longer than I expected Anyway, let me know if you want more alpha content! (Or if you want to see the entirety of Trap Team played with two Blaster-Trons at once, that would also be fun to make)

[@TheBestChaseVariant]

I'd love to see more alpha content

[@Matsu_Suzuki16]

Interesting fact, a few of the beta designs of enemies appeared in the Soul Gem previews The Chompy Bot 9000 beta design appeared in Prism Break's preview, while the Grenade General's beta design appears in Jet-Vac's design. This could be because the previews were made before the design changes. Plus after the enemy designs were changed, they probably didnt want to go through changing the previews

[@professorclinkyclanks29]

If we ever get a giants remake I'd love to see the noodles bossfight reimagined

[@xyno2112]

Wait, D.Riveter had a Bioshock reference?? Wild. For those who might not know, in Bioshock there is a type of Big Daddy called Rosie, which just so happens to use a Rivet gun

[@Elgi72]

This Chompy Bot was also on a card in Skylanders Swap Force Monopoly.

[@OneOddGamerYT]

Woops editing error at 3:05, accidentally copied my "By the way, it has two early descriptions" line In case anyone can't hear what I say there, it's "...it only appears spawning Frigid Chompies or Bone Chompies. Combine that with the fact that there are..."

[@anwenlokier2292]

In my school vr game earlier bit where Goalius bionic arm was a reformed iron fist of arkus but it changed to being created by oddsquard to replace his missing limb

[@itsyahomiescott3742]

18:55: The Jawbreaker falling out of the world after lunging animation IS actually in the base game! You can see it happen with the same methods as well!

[@Cruzfire10]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! This is something that just blows my mind. The creation of Skylanders was always something I wondered as a kid! What was scrapped and stuff like that. Being able to find see it is amazing! Thank you so much for making this man.

[@Kingofportals]

I’d like to see this for Spyro’s Adventure, Swap Force, Trap Team, Superchargers, and Imaginators.

[@Elgi72]

Tree Rex looks like in the Monstous Island Level from Super Chargers.

[@matthewrevell9021]

Oracle boss fight would be so awesome (him being one of my favorite giants characters) i can imagine him opting to fight you as a finak trial to observe how you act in the face of true danger with voice lines like "now it is time for your final trial... Dont dissapoint me"

[@Elgi72]

I know a third Design of Drow Archer, this Version is in a Skylanders Sticker Book. This Version had a Thorn Bow and looked diffrent from these both Designs.

[@OneOddGamerYT]

The fact that you hate Shield Juggernauts as much as me earns you my respect

[@ravenb3048]

In the Wii release version of Giants, there's a spell punk in Rumbletown who heals sheep for some reason when all the other enemies are defeated and this might be something to do with the sheep mage. I'm not sure, though.

[@Unidentifiedtransgirl]

Who the hell hired Google translate for noodles voice acting

[@Aetherpeter]

I can cleary see why they changed the drow archer attack. The old attack wasnt clearly displayed. The Arrows fall kinda randomly, so you could get hit even if it feels like you shouldnt have. That could lead to frustration which game designers always try to prevent.

[@zedmercury2605]

Oh I love cut content, especially when it comes to cut or changed enemies, so this scratches that particular itch. Well done sir.

[@doovid_]

This video is so awesome! This video makes me want to play Giants again haha. Thanks for showing off these cool things!

[@WarkWiz]

tree rex boss fight lmao 😂😂😂😂

[@Elgi72]

He looks like in Monstous Islands.

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

There's so much interesting stuff in early versions of games like this. You love to see it.

[@sakura368]

technically, if someone were to somehow mod skylanders, "technosaur" could fully exist

[@GreatestAres69]

The boss in glacier gully makes me mad because its not in the final version

[@alt0rias355]

[@aaaaaaa7499]

this is so cool wtf, really good video

[@CamBoss64]

Fun Fact the Arkeyan cracklers and Trogmanders still count as spell punks in the quests menu

[@portalmaster07]

someone needs to restore everything from the early builds and add them all to the final version like with fnf vs sonic.exe 2.5

[@Elgi72]

The built seem very similiar to SSA.

[@kaalind475]

5:34 that is actually how drow is pronounced

Inhuman shields originally had spears and we’re gonna be in SSA But dang I didn’t know there was a finished model of the Kaos prototype! And I didn’t know the Chompy with the spikes was Boulder Bowler!

[@OneOddGamerYT]

Yeah, I found that out when looking for the spider tank video. Didn't end up including it because I'd already finished up to Aerial Attack, and Premiere Elements can be really annoying when moving stuff around sometimes.

[@aerothallji6514]

I’m still trying to figure out if the first level that Skylanders Giants puts you in when starting a new game takes place in the past or that it’s in the same time period of the Skylands in the second level.

[@aduckwalkeduptoalemonadestand]

You didn’t talk about that bouncer in the unused Skylanders video

[@OneOddGamerYT]

Because Bouncer isn't unused and his moveset wasn't really changed

if they actually finished the boss fight against noodles, i really hope they wouldve cut down on machene ghost's dialogue. he seems to do a lot of stating the obvious throughout the fight.

When the Trog Puncture has an unused Skystone, could you use an Bark DEmon Skystone?

5:30 - "It also mispronounces Drow". Funny enough that IS how you're supposed to pronounce Drow (and this is the only piece of media I've ever seen where they're pronounced like that), but I guess the devs either didn't realize this or wanted to do something a bit different.
