Here we see a regular headcrab. Sharp front claws and short hind legs. Definitely not Lamarr
Here we see the citidal in construction. Really cool to see a hunter chopper transporting a piece that looked like Citidal's panel. So I assume the material are manufactured elsewhere and transported to build the Citidal. Also Citidal is build from ground up
Civil Protection patroling the street. Super cool to see the reinforced Stalker with a commanding tower on top. Also in the background you can see Citidal is in it completed form.
So the license plate on the truck, translating from Russian alphabet gave you "rds-1195"
Have something to do with The Oxyrhynchus Papyri. Basically some weird ancient shit. Feel free to dig around

These look weird. Their uniform bears no resemblance to ANY previous COMBINE overwatch issued armor. They look almost like regular civilian turned combine soldiers.
Here we see a barnacle eating a poison headcrab. 4 legs of equal length, big hairy chunky body. Yep, poison headcrab
Regular zombie and poison zombie
ANTLIONS! Also the background has the weird orange underglow, which is the main undertone of destroyed City 17
This is most likely a COMBINE overlord mothership
G-MAN. Look at his eyes glow. This dude is 1000% not human
Alright so here is my short theory:
Half Life Alyx IS NOT prequel, BUT the actual sequal of Half Life 2 EP2.
What we are seeing is the rebuilding of a CItidal under the direct supervision of Combine overlords. The Half Life 2 EP2 ending stopped Combine from coming over from their homeworld. But let's not forget the ENTIRE earth was under COMBINE control. So it is highly possible that other Citidal has come over to City17 and suppressed the resistance swiftly. Gordon is nowhere to be seen and Alyx is fighting alone.
Just my 2 cents!
