Although the Cremator's NPC has no AI (no coding related to it can be found in the leaked source code), no clear fight animations and was mostly intended to clean the streets, sound files indicate that it was to notice the player, invalidating the theory of the Cremator being more of a dynamic prop than a real NPC, like the Boid in Half-Life.The player was also to be able to pick up Cremator heads and throw them at enemies, as part of the Brickbat weapon.The rest of the process of the preparation of Cremator units was apparently not to be seen. It is therefore unknown to what extent the Cremator was to be transhuman or if it was to be transhuman at all, since while it appears to have at least human arms and hands (although with only four fingers), the original human was probably beheaded at some point. Cremator heads were to be prepared by children in the Cremator factory located in the Combine Factories area in City 17.It has a Poké Ball-like sphere located on its belly, which was to be connected to the Immolator via a hose, providing the corrosive substance for the weapon and suggesting that much of the Cremator's disproportionate body was used as a vessel for storing the acid.It was intended for the player to obtain an Immolator, which would have been effective against organic enemies. The Cremator was to be some kind of janitor, breathing heavily and disposing of dead bodies through the use of its Immolator - a large cannon capable of spraying a green beam of plasma, which would disintegrate organic matter upon contact.
