Walking Turrets were a type of Aperture Science Turret intended to appear in the 2007 puzzle video game Portal.
Biography[]
Walking Turrets would have been a variation of the standard Sentry Turrets seen throughout the franchise, but would be more spherical in shape, have an orange eye, and have three spider-like legs protruding from their bottom half. These Turrets would be able to walk around freely and follow the player character, shooting until they are dead. It is also implied that Walking Turrets would have been able to go through portals by curling into a ball and "flinging" themselves through, though concept art also shows one stepping through a portal.
The Walking Turret was cut late into the game's development. According to Valve animator Karen Prell, it was because the Walking Turret did not work well "as a game mechanic".
Despite being cut, voice lines can still be found in the game's code.
