An anti-air equipped variant of the [[Scorpion]] tank was included in the early ''Halo 2'' design documentation. This variant was later canonised as the [[M808B2 Sun Devil]] vehicle included in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|H2:AVehicles}}{{Ref/Site|Id= | An anti-air equipped variant of the [[Scorpion]] tank was included in the early ''Halo 2'' design documentation.

The Sun Devil was modelled to some extent by the ''Halo 2'' development team using the ''Combat Evolved'' iteration of the Scorpion tank as a base, though no known in-game implementation was ever done. The vehicle has been restored to functionality by the [[Digsite]] project, though with totally original [[tag]]s and statistics. Due to its use of the ''Combat Evolved'' Scorpion model as a base, the vehicle has been restored into that game rather than ''Halo 2'' for consistency reasons.{{Ref/Reuse| | The Sun Devil was modelled to some extent by the ''Halo 2'' development team using the ''Combat Evolved'' iteration of the Scorpion tank as a base, though no known in-game implementation was ever done.

An anti-air equipped variant of the [[Wraith]] tank was also developed for ''Halo 2'', similarly to the Scorpion variant above. The AA Wraith bears an almost identical design to the {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} later introduced properly in ''[[Halo 3]]'', albeit with minor aesthetic changes resulting from it using the ''Combat Evolved'' Wraith model as a base. As with the Sun Devil Scorpion, this vehicle has been restored into ''Combat Evolved''{{'}}s engine by Digsite.{{Ref/Reuse| | An anti-air equipped variant of the [[Wraith]] tank was also developed for ''Halo 2'', similarly to the Scorpion variant above.

A model recovered by the Digsite project depicts a Scorpion tank equipped with missile launchers of some kind - presumably the [[M808B3 Tarantula]] Scorpion first canonised in the 2009 ''Halo Encyclopedia'' alongside the Sun Devil. In-lore, the Tarantula is equipped with twin [[Scimitar rocket pod]]s.{{Ref/Reuse| | A model recovered by the Digsite project depicts a Scorpion tank equipped with missile launchers of some kind - presumably the [[M808B3 Tarantula]] Scorpion first canonised in the 2009 ''Halo Encyclopedia'' alongside the Sun Devil.

Finalised storyboards for the level The Arbiter showcase a {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom}} with door-mounted gunners. This Phantom design ultimately was discarded for the final game, instead preferring to use three larger plasma cannons. This design for the Phantom was later employed for ''Halo 3'' and subsequent ''Halo'' games. | Finalised storyboards for the level The Arbiter showcase a {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom}} with door-mounted gunners.

The model for this variant of the Phantom can be seen in the [[Halo 2 E3 demo|''Halo 2'' E3 demo]], and was restored into ''Halo 2'' by the Digsite project. It features landing gear and {{Pattern|Shepsu|plasma cannon}} door gunners.{{Ref/Reuse| | The model for this variant of the Phantom can be seen in the [[Halo 2 E3 demo|''Halo 2'' E3 demo]], and was restored into ''Halo 2'' by the Digsite project.
