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.

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.

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.
