Toby's Commentary:

"After creating UNDERTALE, one of my goals for DELTARUNE was for players to finally be able to challenge a "real" version of Mettaton NEO that didn't just end in one turn. For that purpose, I actually created a few music mockups for an extended version of Power of NEO.

There's even another one from 2016 (lol)

… Unfortunately, try I might, I could never create a full-length version of the song that I was satisfied with. Eventually, the boss concept evolved to involve Spamton, and with that, the music changed as well.

I still like the last half of the song. The guitar section was inspired by Brandish's song "Ending 2". All of it is pretty placeholder though.

It's still fun to imagine fighting something to this... Though, if I was given another opportunity to extend POWER OF NEO, I would probably do something different."

My Commentary:
Finally... a (semi-)finished version of Power of NEO... the long battle... finally over. In all seriousness, great track! I love how Toby's inspiration from Brandish still shines through after all these years.

Mettaton if alphys worked on the defenses

Ironically, it sounds like it's trying to break into the freedom lietmotiff from the spamton fight but toby won't let it

It's actually an incredibly interesting meta narrative how the idea for a full NEO battle was planned, but the idea was ultimately left abandoned until he got the bright idea to mix it with Spamton. That's what the abandoned robot was in Chapter 2. The NEO fight, left there in Toby's computer files, gathering dust. And then, both in real life, and in the game's story, Spamton shows up and hijacks the Power of NEO for himself, essentially stealing the idea.

You could even say it works in the lore, since the Annoying Dog IS in the computer lab, and could have been the "certain lightner" who created the abandoned thing.

Mettaton if NEO was actually known for its high defense

Toby Fox’s standards are higher than mine will ever be, because what do you mean this is “unfinished”?

Toby Fox's Recycle Bin has better music than many artists' entire libraries.

Can’t believe I forgor how much Toby is cooking with his music

He can make static sound like an actual song at this point

Mr-Dark-Yummy

love the "death report" motif/rhythm.

I just realized something:

Toby outright says this was planned for a real Mettaton Neo fight for Deltarune.
This only became Spamton Neo's theme after. We almost actually had Mettaton Neo in Deltarune

This is like Toby decided to drop another song for the UNDERTALE OST album 9 years after its release

Mettaton Neo: What's that expression darling? You really thought you could kill me in one hit? Didn't you know Neo is famous for it's high defence?
