The '''Walking Turret''' was a [[Sentry Turret]] variant that was [[Unused content|cut]] late in the development of ''[[Portal]]''.
 
== Overview ==
The Walking Turret was first revealed in concept art during the ''[[Portal 2 ARG|PotatoFoolsDay ARG]]'' in 2011. Its design is similar to that of the standard Sentry Turret, with a spherical body, an orange colored "eye", and a single side-mounted gun. In the concept art, it can be seen exiting a [[Portals|blue portal]], implying that it may have been able to follow players throughout test chambers through their linked portals.
 
The Walking Turret could also collapse into a ''"[[Flinging|fling]], or ball pose"'', which presumably would allow it to fling itself through portals. This pose could also have been its idle pose, possibly activated by the player through some form of trigger or proximity.
 
Valve animator Karen Prell explained<ref name="youtube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaGfc4BfJwA Youtube ''Animex 2012 - Karen Prell's "Animated Adventures in Portal 2" Part 3/6 ''] accessed 24 April 2016</ref> that the Walking Turret was cut because it, "didn't work [well]" as a game mechanic.
