WEEDGUY

Hack to make MultiMissile work!
It has no sounds, you can't attack any targets. It costs $300 and is named Chem Spray Infantry. It has no graphics, so it is invisible.

This unit is used to make certain weapons work, by declaring them on a unit, even if it's unused, the game will read and load the relevant section, in this instance, it makes the Nuclear Missile work, and holds a "cluster" weapon for an unused Elite V3 Rocket weapon, with the rocket exploding above the target unit, and 9 cluster missiles raining down on the target unit and the 8 tiles surrounding it.

CARGOPLANE

It is much like the Cargo Plane, but is named Transport Plane, it doesn't use paratroopers main weapon. The model is the same as Cargo Plane.

XCOMET

It is an unused unit called Placeholder. It has no sound and costs $2000 and shoots a laser. It uses the same model of Rhino Tank and speed of the Prism Tank. Much like the Weedguy above, this unit is to make stuff work, this unit allows the Prism tank and Elite Tesla Trooper weapons to "Fragment" and hit other targets.

WWLF

Apparently a werewolf. Uses the graphics of a mummy with the voice of a woman. Unarmed.

UTNK

Or "ZZZ Not Used" or as commented in Artmd.ini, "Lunar Tank". This unit is a rhino tank with a higher cost (1000 vs 900), faster build time (x1.0 vs x1.5) and most importantly, equipped with a prism tank's laser instead of its normal weapon. While elite it switches back to the regular rhino's elite 120mm. This unit was likely intended for the "To the Moon", as it focuses on laser weaponry like the cosmonaut, before being cut and regular tank combat being used instead.
