Plants vs. Zombies 2/Concepts

This page contains art and concepts of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. These are not fake, but rather scrapped ideas, upcoming plants, zombies, worlds and unreleased features.

Concept art
There were some concepts for helmets and zombies in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. This also contains Viking and Stone Age Helmets, which could have been scrapped.

Trivia

 * If it had not been scrapped, it would have been the first plant from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures to be added into Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time.
 * It is possible the Beet's design lived on in the Tile Turnip.

Fire Peashooter

 * For other uses, see Fire Pea.

Fire Peashooter is a peashooting plant. It was first found in the 2.5 update of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. The only way to obtain it is via hacking. It shoots one fire pea every 1.5 seconds. It is unknown whether or not this will be ever released, or if its final appearance and attacks will be anything like the current hacked plant.

Almanac Entry
DAMAGE: Moderate

RANGE: Straight

RECHARGE: Fast

Fire Peashooters shoot fire peas at zombies.

Plant Food Upgrade
Fire Peashooter shoots 60 fire peas for three seconds, similar to the Peashooter. Oddly, its eyes turn black, and it wears the Gatling Pea helmet, like the regular Peashooter, due to it being incomplete and unreleased. The animation may change when it is officially released.

Trivia

 * While using its Plant Food ability, it uses the same helmet as the Peashooter.
 * It is similar to the Flaming Pea from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.
 * Unlike the Flaming Pea it has yellow eyes, instead of white eyes, the stem is all red instead of green, and a red leaf on the back of its head instead of fire.
 * The seed packet has its bottom leaves shown, unlike the other Peashooting plants.
 * According to the codes of the game, this plant was originally going to be in Dark Ages, but was moved to a world internally named "beach".
 * Its costume is the same as Peashooter's costume in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time.
 * This may be a placeholder costume until the release.

Flower Pots
The Flower Pot was seen in concept art. It was going to be used in worlds without soil, similar to the Roof in the first game (Dark Ages, Pirate Seas, etc).

The pots were also upgradeable and had different tiers. For example the "hover pot" would allow plants to be planted on any surface. Eventually the concept was deemed to be to "tiring" and scrapped.

Penny's early name
Penny is referenced internally as "Winnie".

Deleted mushrooms
Before the release of 2.3 version, some mushrooms were found in the code. These were later replaced by the new plants in Dark Ages.


 * Pult-shroom
 * Vacuum-shroom
 * Dart-shroom
 * Scaredy-shroom
 * Zoom-shroom

Old Dark Ages Zombies
There were zombies of the Dark Ages, which were scrapped and replaced by the new Zombies of Dark Ages.


 * Thief Zombie - According to its name, it might have been able to steal plants.
 * Blacksmith Zombie - This zombie could make helmets for other Peasant Zombies. Then the Blacksmith was changed to Zombie King.
 * King Zombie - Probably an old name for Zombie King.
 * Gravedropper Zombie - Possibly similar to the Tomb Raiser Zombie in Ancient Egypt.

Beach
The sixth world of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is internally named "beach" at this time. However, "beach" is not the name of a time period, so it denotes the setting of the sixth world. All sprites for zombies, plants, and icons for the map were removed from the obb file released by PopCap. However, some information remains.

There is an unused description for the world: ''Check out the Beach! It's hot! Get it? HOT!''

Plants
According to the files, some aquatic plants are returning. There are also some new plants that may soon become scrapped or used in future updates.
 * Lily Pad (lilypad): most likely will work like the Lily Pad in the first game
 * Tangle Kelp (tangledkelp): it appears to act like the Tangle Kelp in the first game. It instantly kills zombies next to it.
 * Bamboom (bamboom): appears to work like the Cob Cannon. It causes massive damages to targets in a 3x3 aea.
 * Coconut Bowler (coconutbowler): Bowls a Coconut that acts like the Wall-nut from Wall-nut Bowling.
 * There are also plants internally named "chomper", "bananah", "guacodile".

Zombies
As of 2.6.1, there are zombies internally named beach, beach_armor1, beach_armor2, beach_flag, beach_imp, and beach_gargantuar. These are respectively: Basic, Conehead, Buckethead, Flag, Imp, and Gargantuar variants of this new world. There are also two new zombies, "beach_snorkel" and "beach_fastswimmer".

Time Twister
Time Twister was originally in the game files and it could have been the last world, but it was later removed. Then it got replaced by another world called "Beach" in the 2.4.1 update. It might have been a combination of all worlds. It is unknown if this will re-added. It might have been removed because PopCap wanted to make the game longer.
