Combine Synth Elite Soldier

Good

The Combine Synth Elite Soldier is a part-human, part-Synth enemy cut from Half-Life 2. With the Combine Super Soldier (which somehow stems from it), it is the predecessor of the Overwatch Elite, as well as the predecessor of the Combine Guard.

Overview
The Combine Synth Elite Soldier is probably some descendant of the "mech" featured in the Weather Control story fragment. The "Combine Elite" is mentioned in the Alyx story fragment; it could be this unit, although the Combine Super Soldier could also fit, both being early elite Combine units. Overall, some concepts evolved into the Combine Guard, others into the Combine Super Soldier, to finally end up with the Overwatch Elite. Some concepts also bear similarities with the Hunter, especially the legs.
