The Combine Prisoner Transport is an armored Combine vehicle used by Civil Protection to transport prisoners.

Overview[edit]
Considered an armored personnel carrier on its own,[1] the vehicle resembles the Combine APC in a few aspects as it also has a bulky construction and armored plating. It is best described as a mobile prison cell with its most prominent feature being the rear compartment which is able to store many people at once. Markings inside it indicate that the vehicle is part of the "Insubordinate Relocation Unit". The interior of the compartment has several seats lining the walls and two sets of windows, one on the rear door looking out the back and the other into the front cabin of the vehicle. The latter can be opened or closed via an elevating shade. The front cabin holds two seats for the driver and a passenger. Alyx Vance and her father Eli are transported in these vehicles following the raid on their safehouse. However, Alyx is rescued by Russell with the help of his drone which he used to drop a Grenade into the cabin, killing the two Civil Protection officers inside and disabling the vehicle.
A specialized version of this vehicle is used to store and transport the Combine Mounted Gun. Its rear compartment unfolds into a swivel mount for the gun and is only ever seen once during the game when Alyx uses it to defeat a Strider.
Criminal holding[edit]
Nothing is known about criminal holding except that it refers to a secure location the Combine utilizes to hold those who they deem as insubordinate. After intercepting a shipment of Combine mini-reactors, Eli is subsequently captured by the transhuman forces and loaded into a transport truck. Russell suspects that Eli will be taken to criminal holding and then subsequently to Nova Prospekt once the Combine discovers his identity.
