==Official Personality Test Info==

The [http://www.thinkwithportals.com/coop_survey.php official Aperture Science Collaborative Disposition Test] describes Cave Johnson as:

“You don’t see crises-only challengitunities you choose to scale like mountains. You’re a can-do, shoot-from-the-hip, silver-tongued self-starter. You’re a good match for any cooperative test partner, providing they shut up and listen."

I'm not sure what section this information best goes under, so I'll just leave it here for now. - [[User:MewtwoWarrior|MewtwoWarrior]] 02:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

==Gabe Newell?==

I can't shake the idea that Cave Johnson is, in some way, an allegory for Gabe Newell, Valve's CEO, who has been blamed for the infamous delays of Half Life 2: Episode 3.

How?

1) First names sound similar
2) Both of them did something revolutionary in their field (ie; Gabe made Steam and Cave made the Portal Gun)
3) Both of them seem very obstinate about things (ie; Cave's memetic rant on lemons, and how Gabe seems to be hellbent on delaying every game Valve makes, excepting the L4D series)

Just a quick observation and nothing more, but I really do think I'm onto something by saying it.

== Cave Johnson might have been inserted into a turret ==

At the Turret Redemption Line if you safe the turret and wait around it should say "Don't make lemonade," and "Burn his house down," also "Her name is Caroline remember that." All things Cave Johnson would say.

:I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you with this, BUT in some cut dialog he WAS put into a cube. And the new DLC will have a form of Cave Johnson who's still alive, so there's that to look forward to. [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] 14:39, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

== Alternate universe Cave Johnson ==

How are we gonna tackle the issue of several different Cave Johnsons? [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 18:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

== Cave in Portal 1 ==

My friend on steam found this image of Cave Johnson. It can be found [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=234466844 here].

Does anyone have a clue why he is in Portal 1? I mean, there was the Username & Password linking to Cave Johnson already, so why not again?

Turrets

TheSheepGuy: /* Hover Turret */

[[File:Turret Boxed.png|right|thumb|Sentry Turret packaging|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Sentry Turret'''|Hello friend.|sound=Turret_turret_active_5.wav}}

'''Turrets''' serve as one of the main testing obstacles in the ''Portal'' series. Armed with almost unlimited ammunition and deadly accuracy, they will attempt to kill test subjects on sight.

Turrets are voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1655889/ Ellen McLain].
__TOC__
{{Clr}}

== General ==
=== Sentry Turret ===
{{main|Sentry Turret}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Standard.png|right|100px|The Sentry Turret]]

'''Sentry Turrets''' are miniature tripod robots that appear in every game in the ''Portal'' series. They are seen as incapable of independent movement, but can open each side of their chassis (their 'arms') horizontally in order to reveal two gatling guns. The central part of the chassis holds their red eye, which emits a targeting laser. Almost all of the space within the Turret is devoted to storing the ridiculously stacked ammo, explaining the nearly infinite supply of ammo when firing.

When test subjects are out of sight from the Turret's presence, they will maintain a standby state and will remain motionless with their guns retracted. Moving into their angle of sight however, will cause Turrets to deploy their guns shortly after greeting the unlucky individual before opening fire. They will continue to fire until the target is dead or moves out of sight. If the latter occurs, Turrets will briefly search for the test subject (as indicated by the movement of the targeting laser), after which they will revert to a standby state.

Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to tip them over. Additionally, the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam|Discouragement Beams]] or [[Material Emancipation Grill|Emancipation Grill]]s can be used to completely destroy them.

In Portal, Turrets will shoot the glass when the player is on the other side. In Portal 2, however, Turrets will only follow the player behind glass.

{{Clr}}

=== Rocket Turret ===
[[File:Portal Rocket Turret.png|left|80px|The Rocket Turret]]

The '''Rocket Turret''' is a unique enemy seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. It appears as a raw [[Cores|personality core]] outfitted with a rocket launcher. Upon activation, it will slowly lock onto [[Chell]] and emit a sound before firing a rocket. Unlike Sentry turrets, it cannot be disabled or destroyed by the player. {{Spoiler|It plays a vital role in the battle with [[GLaDOS]], as rockets need to be sent through [[portals]] in order to hit her, causing [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] to detach from her.}}

Rockets can also be redirected by Chell to shatter the observation windows throughout the offices of the Enrichment Center.

Rocket Turrets used to play a major role in [[Portal 2]]{{Citation needed}}, but were later cut.
{{Clr}}

=== Defective Turret ===
{{main|Defective Turret}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Defective.png|right|100px|The Defective Turret]]

'''Defective Turrets''', referred to as "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are incomplete, sometimes ammo-less versions of the Sentry Turrets introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to [[Chell]], many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. {{spoiler|They are first encountered in chapter 5, ''The Escape''.}}

In the game's [[co-op]] campaign, the Defective Turrets appear as obstacles for [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] throughout the ''Mobility Gels'' testing course. These Turrets appear to be as fully functional as regular Sentry Turrets and possesses the innocent and feminine voice tones as they should. The only difference from regular Turrets is that they have been defaced. {{spoiler|One Defective Turret in the final test chamber of this test course has been evidently reconfigured by someone, as instead of serving as a typical testing obstacle, before dying it reveals that it "needs to protect the humans".}}
{{Clr}}

=== Frankenturret ===
[[File:Portal2 MonsterTurret b.png|left|115px|The Frankenturret]]
{{main|Frankenturret}}
{{spoiler|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre Sentry Turret-[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2''. Created by [[Wheatley]] in order to complete test chambers when he had no available test subjects, they are first introduced in the chapter, ''The Itch''.}}

{{spoiler|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emit incomprehensible chirping sounds. They generally serve as Wheatley's replacement for Storage Cubes once [[Chell]] is available as his test subject. Their only difference from normal cubes being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly when not placed on a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]]. When picked up by Chell, they retract their legs inside the cube. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Prima Donna Turret ===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Wife.png|right|100px|{{spoiler|The Turret Wife}}]]

{{spoiler|The '''Prima Donna Turret''' (meaning ''First Woman'' in Italian, a title given to the lead singer, the diva, in an opera), referred by the game files as the '''Turret Wife''', is a bigger and wider Turret featured at the end of ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s single-player campaign during the [[Turret Opera]], after [[GLaDOS]] finally allows [[Chell]] her freedom of leaving the Enrichment Center. As its name implies, the Prima Donna Turret provides the lead vocals for the Turret Opera.

Apart from the ending, a Prima Donna Turret can also be found in the chapter ''The Return'', at the end of Test Chamber 11; briefly seen in an elevator just as [[Chell]] enters the [[Chamberlock]]. It can also be found below the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in the same chapter during Test Chamber 16, where it is observing a turret quartet.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Animal King Turret ===
[[File:Animal king.jpg|left|100px|The Animal King Turret]]
{{main|Animal King Turret}}
The '''Animal King Turret''' is a unique type of turret in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2'' that is only used in an [[Aperture Science]] slideshow to represent an "Animal King Takeover" in the chapter, ''The Courtesy Call''. The Turret is considerably colossal in comparison to its Sentry Turret brethren, and appears to operate the 'arms' on its side in exactly the same way.

It can be distinguished from ordinary Turrets by its immense size, crown and leopard skin-detailed chassis. In the context of the slideshow, the Animal King Turret is used as an example of an entity or a form of organization capable of taking control of Earth which "[[Media:Announcer prehub46.wav|...refuses to, or is incapable of listening to reason]]".

{{spoiler|The Animal King Turret appears only once in the entire game, during the single-player ending sequence when [[Chell]] is being brought up to the surface by GLaDOS after defeating Wheatley. It appears to be producing the lower bass tones of the [[Turret Opera]].}}

=== Hover Turret ===
[[File:Portal 2 Hover Turret.png|right|100px|The Hover Turret in-game]]

The '''Hover Turret''' is an unused Turret found within the game files of ''Portal 2''. It uses the model of the [[Curiosity Core]]. It emits a laser, similar to the other types of Turrets, that is coloured light-blue and able to burn the player similar to the burn of the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]], however unlike the Thermal Discouragement Beam it's laser does not provide a barrier for the player's movement, nor does it interact with game mechanics. The Hover Turret can be spawned within ''Portal 2'' via the cheat command <code>ent_create npc_hover_turret</code>. It can also be found in Chapter 8 Test Chamber 1 in Portal 2 by using the <code>noclip</code> command and going throught the wall behind the Level Screen (it should say 1/19) and looking to the left. If you go near it it will make a blue effect and if you have subtitles enabled they will move to the left.

== Appearances ==
=== ''Portal'' ===
{{See also|Portal}}
Turrets are introduced as testing hazards to [[Chell]] during the entirety of [[Portal Test Chamber 16|Test Chamber 16]]. Following this, they continue to appear throughout the remaining test chambers and eventually, during Chell's escape.

=== ''Portal: Still Alive'' ===
{{See also|Portal: Still Alive}}

=== ''Portal 2'' ===
{{See also|Portal 2}}
Turrets reprise their role as testing hazards to [[Chell]] and to [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] for the game's [[co-op]] campaign, and they appear fairly early in the game. Distinct versions of the Turrets are introduced, including the Defective Turrets and Animal King Turret.

* {{spoiler|When GLaDOS attempts to kill Wheatley with a paradox in the beginning of Chapter 8: The Itch, every Frankenturret is fried, humorously implying that they are smarter than Wheatley.}}
* The shipping box for the Turrets states that one of the blue painted Turrets was bought on January 25, 2010 by a person with an unreadable name. The reference to Michael Jackson can be seen on the box.{{Citation needed}}
