The Alien Combine Soldier [1] is an enemy cut from Half-Life 2. Like most of the Synth or alien-style soldiers, the concept was abandoned to avoid any direct representation of human-scale alien enemies and instead depict the Combine as a more elusive force.[1] Its design was created around the same time as the Combine Advisor.
Overview[edit]
It was to move like a snake or a worm. Another version was to have yellow, polished skin, yellow lenses, use an energy whip at close range, and wear thick plastic gear with an insignia in black.[1] As shown in the Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Documentary, a whiteboard sketch of the game's early character roster implies that alien soldiers had a relatively high position in the early Combine hierarchy.

Ditto, slightly cropped, higher resolution version.
The yellow lenses are seen again in a more recent version, a camouflaged Combine Soldier, which can be found as an early model for the Combine Elite in the leak files.
