I think Cyrax and Sektor probably had outfits similar to Sub-Zero's and Smoke's from MK1 or MK2. They might not have been Red and Yellow untill after Automation or they might have.

As for their abilities...Cyrax and Sektor could have been some of the lesser clan members and were thus put up for Automation. They might have been the best aside from the Sub-Zero brothers and Smoke, who knows. We'll just have to wait till Ed Boon decides that it's worthy of noting.
