The Combine Synth Elite Soldier[1] is a part-human, part-Synth enemy[1] cut from Half-Life 2. With the Combine Super Soldier (which somehow stems from it), it is the predecessor of the Combine Elite, as well as the direct predecessor of the Synth Combine Guard.[2]
Overview[edit]
The Combine Synth Elite Soldier is probably some descendant of the "mech" featured in the vignette Weather Control. The "Combine Elite" is mentioned in the vignette Alyx; 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 Combine Elite. Some concepts also bear similarities with the Hunter, especially the legs.
Gallery[edit]
These are concept art for several different versions, featured in Raising the Bar. Most of them feature a big left arm where a weapon is included (as seen in the Combine Guard NPC) and a thinner right one.
This version is closer to the Combine Guard and the Combine Elite, with legs very similar to that of the Hunter (as it is for the version featured in the infobox of this article).
Similar design of the former.
This version is also closer to the Combine Guard and the Combine Elite.
The feet here are similar to that of the Combine Super Soldier.
This version is nicknamed "Combine Elite 3" and its the closest to the Combine Guard, its shoulder bearing the same logo found on the Gunship's back.
Weapon wielded by the "Combine Elite 3" version.
The feet here are similar to that of the Combine Super Soldier, here with a spear and banners, and the similarities to the Combine Guard are again featured.
Similiar to previous version, but with less human-like proportions and a gun instead of a spear.
Again, the feet here are similar to that of the Combine Super Soldier.
The Combine Guard NPC.
