The egg would be mine too! So iconic and mysterious. It can evoke practically anything, an unseen horror, and your worse fears.

only found out about this recently, is there a chance I could still give it a try? or did it get scrapped with the website update?

The chestbuster. The very first xenomorph we ever saw and still the weirdest and most terryfying.

I believe the answers to your questions below are all yes sherris.

"Did he have a role in the Solar Flare incident? With another being, WY or he had a weapon that could cause seemingly that incident.

Did MU TH UR give a false response for the reason of the crash.

Did WY send a colony ship to fly relatively near Planet 4 in space terms so that an intricate plan would land David on The Covenant."

I believe an Engineer weapon in response to the first question.

nice one! any significant story or memory attached to it?

That is correct dk. Yes, it was a stay out in front of the dancer type dance routine.

thanks BigDave ;) & Ingeniero

Protomorph! It's movements were based on the praying mantis which I find awesome. 

Gotta go old school here.

I had to choose the most obvious choice, the original Xenomorph from Ridley Scott’s classic 1979 film. The classic monster was nothing like anything we’d ever seen on the big screen. It’s aesthetic, structural perfection, and life cycle was so gritty and terrifying, that it made us adore and fear Giger’s monster at the same time. Though there have been many adaptations of the Xenomorph , none will come close to Big Chap. He is forever and always the Alien we cowered in our shirts in the dark theater from.

My favourite alien design would probably have to be the original one from the first film because of how well it blended in with the ship and how intelligent it was as an organism 

I think he said "I'd f$%k me" as he danced in front of the mirror and tucked his......umm......between.........oh..........never mind.

The xenomorph design that's my favorite is that of the Queen. She is the largest, most intelligent, and are massively powerful. She is quick and and stronger than all of the other xenomorphs. Nothing quite prepares a viewer for seeing her onscreen for the very first time.

My favorite Alien design would be the Queen Alien from James Cameron's ALIENS (1986) because it managed to differ from the original film's Big Chap Xenomorph while staying true to the grotesque style of H.R. Giger. I love the blue tint that covers the creature's exoskeleton along with its massive crest, which I find incredibly well-crafted by the great Stan Winston. Not to forget, the studio's animatronic work is fantastic; allowing the Queen to exhibit its full potential in terms of agility and ferocity, thus extending its glorious screen-time. Unlike Alien vs. Predator, the 1986 Queen is a pure practical effect with no computer generated effects, rendering the beast ever so genuine and authentic. Such are the reasons the Queen Alien from James Cameron's ALIENS is my favorite Xenomorph design.

My favorite Xenomorph is the Xenomorph design of Alien Covenant. This Xenomorph had the motion patterns of both the human walking of Alien and the creature like slither of Aliens. It also appears to be far more hostile than the Xenomorphs of the other movies. In the original Alien the xenomorph is scared by fire, but David's Xenomorph will run through a ships engine to get its prey.  The look is the best as it uses a combination of CGI and practical effects. This allows it to truly move like an animal and not just like a person in a suit. This was used in AVP but the CGI wasnt good enough at the time so it looked awkward. Finally the Covenant Xenomorph has the best sound. Theoriginal sounds like a very faint scream(which is still creepy) and the ones from Aliens sort of sound like Elephants. The Covenant one has a really cool chittering noise that sounds lile nothing ive heard before. This xenomorph is one epic creature and truly the perfecr organism.

Neomorph. The visceral asethetics of the Evolution was exciting because of the lack of features and the horror of it implements into the viewers imagination!  

hahaha can't forget The Company labelled beer 

Of course I'll recognize Buffalo Bills' dance music...nice touch Lilly (Svanya). He was a butterfly.

Gotta pick up the staples. I won't have time after work. Um- here is the shopping list:

The ALIENS xenomorph

damn small supermarket parking, How I am supposed to get the baby stroller out!!!

I was going to say the original, but I actually think my favorite is the design seen on the Xenomorph in Alien: Covenant (unofficially called the Protomorph by most of the fandom). I love the fleshy, sinewy, nearly human structure of its body. It is such a grotesque twisting of the human form in the most terrifying way. I still love the biomechanical, Lovecraftian design of Giger's original, but the more raw, primal appearance of the Protomorph is just amazing.

As much as I love the original "Big Chap" design, my all-time favorite has to be the Predalien. I have so much love for both the Alien and Predator franchises, and seeing the product of the two is just awesome. I honestly don't know which I prefer though. The AVPR design or the original design for the AVP Duel comic book, but if I had to pick one, I would go with Duel. Although the AVPR version was no push over, the comic Predalien took on several Colonial Marines and Predators , and held it's own very well. I think that it's dark brown (almost black) appearance contrasted to yellow backgrounds, along with the short upper mandibles and the pointed/spiked dreadlocks make the hybrid really appear extremely menacing. Honorable mentions: OG Queen Alien, Deacon, Big Chap, and of course the Grid Alien.

My favorite design would probably have to be the original Giger design. The bio-mechanical, exoskeleton design is literally a Lovecraftian nightmare. Everything from the inside-out ribcage, the translucent dome revealing a human skull, the tubing pipes on its back. It seems so surreal that the word "Alien" describes it perfectly.

The Deacon for me!

I like the Runner/Dog from Alien 3 best- its lack of tubes set it apart from the rest at the time. It was borne of a quadraped and was quick, agile and animalistic. It was the first time a xeno could scale walls and we could see from its first person perspective.

Below is my own NECA Alien 3 Xenomorph

40 years. We like our even numbers! It would be a great opportunity to do something really special...............or just do another movie to string us along while some start sizing themselves for adult diapers.

At any rate, it is nice to hear of a new development. Thanks Daszkowski

Why rebuild the Space Jockey set..for a quick little distress sequence in Alien:Covenant?! I mean that's just a crazy waste of money.

I'm hoping they kept the SJ set up and ready for filming.

gore doesn't mean horror. look at the predator movies. none classed as horror yet we see a mans head blown off, skinned bodies hanging all over the joint and a man completely blown to bits.

I see the parking lot now. Coordinates locked in.

Ah the iconic drinking bird. 

I've had far too much coffee today

Back to the OP, it could make an interesting piece of tech for the Engineers. In another way, it reminds me a bit of an updated version of this:

BigDave Alien Covenant: The Animated Romantic Musical lol!

Davids time on the planet depends on:

Did he have a role in the Solar Flare incident? With another being, WY or he had a weapon that could cause seemingly that incident.

Did MU TH UR give a false response for the reason of the crash.

Did WY send a colony ship to fly relatively near Planet 4 in space terms so that an intricate plan would land David on The Covenant.

If this sounds silly, the opposite, it was a random event.

Which just happens right next to a perfect planet, calling with a human voice to a Planet that just happens to be the one, David, Weylands son has been inhabiting for ten years. At a time where he has Facehugger embryos which fit exactly into the covenant storage.

For me since David went online he has being acting out a most intricate plan to become who he wants to be.... ??

I want to know where it expells it's waste.  Clear from the baby pics that there is no normally located anus/low point drain.  I also think these views may have been a missed opportunity for the Neo, at a minimum.  Seeing either "sexual"-like genitalia would have sparked a lot of new brain twisters, at least for me.  Especially considering the Neo lifecycle is a blank canvas post morph-birth.
