Combine Hunters may be modified Vortigaunts!

Vortigaunts have two interesting traits: in the front they have the third, weak little arm that hangs off their chest/stomach. On their "rear end", they don't wear pants, and you always see two holes, like exhaust pipes in their rump.

Now, kill a Combine Hunter and examine the corpse. Notice on its backside it has two distinct holes in its rear end, much like a Vortigaunt. Now also notice it has a small, puny limb, much like the one on any Vortigaunt's chest.

I'm not saying this is definitive proof that Combine Hunters are modified Vortigaunts, but if the Combine is modifying humans into Stalkers, it is easy to believe they're modifying Vortigaunts into some useful form of creature for combat or service.
