I mean, when the crab is removed from their head, you don't see the upper portion of a skull attached to their maw. We've learned that the hosts don't necessarily have to be alive, with the fast zombies practically being skeletons with a few slivers of skin, they're probably dead. It's most likely that the crabs have to remove the combine's helmet, ripping off most of their head along with it, before actually seating themselves into the jaw and controlling the corpse

IDK blame valve for not making a skull prop appear when you kill a zombine with a headshot. also why would they remove the part with the brain?

If I remember correctly the combine are genetically altered cyborg super-soldiers, so I assumed that their helmets were basically just affixed to them, tearing off most of the head along with it if removed

Good point mate

The combine soldiers are already heavily augmented as is, nothing would stop a headcrab from keeping a half-decapitated soldier alive.

I'm pretty sure the combine soldiers have a voice modulator in their neck, which would make sense for them being able to speak if the headcrab fully removed the top of their head and left only their jaw.

WHAT

WHY ARE ALL THESE LITTLE METHHEADS SAYING THE ZOMBINE HAS NO SKULL IT HAS A SKULL THE HEADCRAB JUST RIPPED IT OUT

BY WHEN IT RIPPED IT OUT I MEAN WHEN IT DIES
