I am really busy atm. But here goes.
I am thinking of something between a tree and a old women with saggy breasts that reach to the floor. I would like to combine parts of steam punk into this as well.
Will draw a concept at work if I get a chance.
This is a character from a steam punk world. People are punished in this world by doctors who can fuse flesh with metal or other types of flesh. The character is blind, using acute hearing to sense players. His lips are sewn shut to silence his constant screams (eats through a tube in his throat).
The player can trick him with sound. He uses ramming attacks to kill.
I might add some kind of machine on his back for rockets or blinding weapons (smoke grenade).
My thinking in making this character is that I can animate him easily and still add high detail to his mesh. He also has a mix of metal and flesh which will show off certain effects in game.

My 2nd concept.
Inspired by Britney Spears.
This is a junky from hell. She has 3 breasts, and attacks with either a dirty needle or an unborn baby attached to an ubilicle cord (like a mace). She will also have bare bones, undead style.
I am pondering attaching the baby to her back and using it as a scream attack. sudo total recal.

i cant speak for a game company but as a gamer i would say the first character, i think it would be more visually appealing and plays on the whole speak/hear/see no evil. If used as a minion i believe it would work well. My main problem with the second idea is that it loses its effect once it is no longer topical. Its very funny now in light of britney spears, as you said, but in the long run i dont see it being as effective as your first idea. my two cents
I don't think teenage pregnancy will become untopical any time soon. Theres no real reason to suggest that your character is Britney Spears (in fact I'd suggest you avoid it). She'll make a far more interesting character. The bloke on the wheels feels a little generic and would be trickier to make stand out in the crowd.
a rough model

I have just decided to cut off one of his arms. The remaining arm will be sewn to a joint conected to the wheel. His back will be an empty carcas, and his lips will be sewn to his chest. And the head will be bigger and more comic.
Oh and I might add 2 giant ears to his back like wings. That should do it.
I finally got a few hours to work on my model. I decided to change back to my other concept of the smacky from hell but blend it a bit with the wheel chair man.
She will use a retractable baby mace to attack, with a terrible screaming animation when the baby is ripped from her. I will partially dress her in hospital atire - backless gown, and maybe some platform shoes.
Her lip is nailed to her chin.
