Trailer

In the 1999 trailer, the Iron Demon can be seen in two scenes: one brief shot in the Regional State Building and one extended walk sequence in the unreleased MP arena The Pit (slowed down for careful inspection):

3D models

There have been three fan attempts to recreate the 3D model for the Iron Demon by inspecting the visual evidence we have from the pre-beta period:

• This model on TurboSquid by Ashley Davison
• This model by Seventeen Seconds, used in Konoko Payne by Pierre
• This model by bobbysoon, based on the above model. This one was used in multiple AE packages; see this one for a starting point.
