An amazing Pre-Combine Strider concept piece by Serpy. According to him: “ When the Combine found them they made them much bigger and lankier, and replaced their trunk and headthing with guns and their feet with knives because they can do that. Their legs are strengthened with metal implants, and other synthetic augmentation keeps them alive and behaved.”

This pre-combine Strider looks like a very huge cockroach with horse legs attached.
"trunk"
whats up with the giant cock. can i say that on this site?
Eh I wouldn’t know until Alex or a mod comes down with the hammer. Anyways that isn’t necessarily a genitalia. It’s actually a long trunk, similar to elephants used to pick up objects and eat. It’s original legs look more akin to Giraffes.
idk the strider has always been phallic, you cant doubt that, its definitley intentional, i mean remember mr friendly?? ted backman is crazy man
Yeah, and he's the one responsible for adding jiggle physics to the hl1 assassins
way ahead of its time though
what evolutionary benefit would it give to be that big
it could be used as a sort of blunt weapon
that's scary

Weird looking strider
A lot of pre-synthetic Combine units would look weird. They get lots of stuff cut off and weapons grafted to their bodies, radically altering their appearance.
dope
Looks cool.
