These look incredible!

These are not bad, i guess like the NECA they are affordable.

I would love to see a Hot Toys 1/6th Scale Versions though as the Detail would be amazing, however the no doubt $200-250 Price Tags are beyond a lot of peoples pockets unless they are Die Hard Collectors...  or those who dont mind spending a Few Hundred on Figures ;)

Date: 25 June, 2179

"The creature caught him by the hair and dragged him back, regurgitating a thick liquid into his face. Navarro choked and flailed but quickly became sluggish, and the alien kept dragging him toward the door.

The second alien leapt onto Pvt. Konig just as the man's chest burst open and the newborn creature slithered out. The two monsters ignored each other."

Canon Contribution

In regards to the novel tie into canon events, the author wrote this below in the Acknowledgments:

"Deep thanks to my editor, Steve Saffel, for watching my six, and to the entire team at Titan for their dedication to this new voyage into the Alien canon."

Films' content certainly has the final verification on what is canon or not but it is great to see where the story is heading to in the novels.

The xenomorph regurgitating fluid and the fluid raining off them seem to coalesce into the biomechanical aesthetic formations that we saw in Alien (Dallas above) and Aliens around the queen's hive under the processor that the Colonial Marines encountered (enhanced image below).

The juggernaut interior below looks very similar so I can only assume the same technology (mutagen AI variation?) is used in the creation of each example. 

This aesthetic is all very similar to the Engineer's skin/suit on LV-223 and the xenomorphs seen on LV-426 and Fury 161, below.

Why waste precious design? Let's have a vivisected Shaw toy, a decapitated Rosenthal, a backbursted that first security guy, a stabbed David or a chest-bursted Oram. Everybody would want one for their kid!

Hiya toys tend to have pretty crappy QA.  I personally like the NECA figures and can handle their QA issues.  No doubt I will be buying these though.  Would be nice to see some of the other human characters as well. 

*

Those fully articulated toys kind of kill the dignity of the morphs.

Not too different in price /appearance from the NECA models. Only thing I see is the NECA Neo has blood on it's mouth, another head and a bloody baby neomorph.

I want so bad!

ofcourse for the plot he has to arrive so he is somehow aware they have landed. it may have been the explosion that drew his attention and being an android, he would have been able to have covered the distance much faster than any human

someone had to be awake to tend to the plant life on board the covenant plus the value of the embryos may have dictated someone be awake incase something went wrong that muther couldn't deal with. as we see in AC, Walter removes what I assume are a couple of dead embryos which is something muther couldn't have done.

ali81

Yes, but was watching the sky for ships to arrive? How was he aware that somebody landed and were? Even if he monitors the activity of the crashed Juggernaut, the lander was several miles from that spot. 

The short answer is it does not matter it is only a plot convenience. 

I assume its basically what u say. commercial mining vessels were probably all human crews as it may have been too expensive for that particular company to have a synthetic on all their ships plus theres no real need for them. human labour would be cheaper to mine and transport the ore. remember also by the time aliens takes place over half a century has gone by and she probably only ever remembers synthetics being on high end company vessels who could afford them and not onboard military vessels

couldn't have been that long bearing in mind the neomorphs hadn't been alive for long plus he needed the crew if he wanted off the planet. also the neomorphs wernt his creation so again for his to see his creation born he couldn't allow the crew to be killed

In the original probably even Call sleeped, and it would make sense to reduce wear/regenerate, save energy, etc. Computers had for decades sleep modes where only memories are powered to not lose data. The ships were automated enough to work on their own.

In the new ones, David had a mission to learn the ancient languages to be able to communicate and to be able to provide us background about Shaw, so him being awake for 2 (?) years might be justified. I can not find however no justification for Walter being away for more then 7 years other that to imply that he is a slave and has to toil arbitrarily. Further more, if David went insane with maintance for ten years, what says a 7 year trip like that would not give the situation. 

That is an awesome example with the astronauts above Dark Nebula.

I love the Carlos Huante image...the Engineer concept art origin story. Great topic, thank you.

Excellent points Tiwaz.

In addition to the July 2179 Cold Forge incident and the June-July 2179 LV-426 collapse you cite above, the following month Michael Bishop set down on Fury 161 in August 2179. 

Yes, where were the eggs sourced from on the Cold Forge? Good question regarding another source.

Had the same idea last year when i noticed how the black goo spreaded on a certain altitude.

http://www.alien-covenant.com/topic/45224

Could be a standard security measure in case they expect ships with deadly payloads.

They had probably some emergency rooms as well near the plaza but could not reach them as the nano particles where already rained down.

"If this AI outlives humans, what might become their purpose for proliferation?"

Whatever the engineers , which created the robots, imagined of.

Could be a self sustain approach.

Which is self-repair/maintenance and maybe even long term goals like preserving the legacy of the humanity (over centuries) which means their history. Could be useful if any alien race decides to visit earth in (ten)thousands of years and learn something.

The robots would function in this case like autonomous museum watchmans. In this case we are the mammoths.

But I don't think David is the Space Jockey,  he doesn't fit into that suit and doesn't need it. And as he demonstrated, he is immune to facehuggers.

What if David's "successes" where engineers' first? What if they used to sacrifice women and children to create the Deacon (David mentioned their cruel rituals in Advent)? And then they stopped the sacrifices and used local fauna specimen to create the eggs? And finally decided they don't want the eggs on their home planet because children are so curious and vulnerable to them? So they loaded the last thousands of eggs into a Juggernaut, chose a sacrificial engineer to pilot the ship and crash land it on a barren planet to be sure it stays there 

We may never know how the story ends. But Ridley Scott has a story and is held back by some dumas accountant and the other executives from Disney.

What about the Deacon? Was he just a nod to the xenomorph fanboys?

He was as well the creation of David. But the fanboys did not care as long as it was not too similar to the xenomorph and did not come from a classic facehugger that jumped out of a classic egg.

David continued his experiments with the black goo on Shaw until she was dead and thus he had to create the eggs to preserve the facehuggers in absence of a mother.

It doesn't bother me now if he is the Space Jockey, he is anyway the most interesting character of the franchise, the only one who can tell a story.

@BigDave

Well isn't having completely black eyes a visual metaphor for being soulless ... you know the eyes the gateway to the soul? 

Sorry but this unused concepts are kind of crap ... But what I don't understand is that the Engineers having the same dna as humans was a latter addition? 

@BigDave I'm saying from day 1 that David will likely be the Space Jockey. RS loves Fassbender way too much and the DNA disclaimer in the Meet Walter video made me feel it.

In my mind, Lindelof is absolutely right about prequels. I don't understand why he receives so much hate on the internet, but I must confess I haven't watched Lost, maybe because they did not end it when it should have? For me Spaiths is the worse of the two, as he copied the medbay scene in Passengers and has written the 2017 masterpiece the Mummy. So why revert David more to his Alien Engineers self? Why not have him more nuanced? Why imbue him with traits from former villains without their redeemable qualities? 

I don't mind talking about what a soul is, but I do mind one not realizing that he is not immortal after being decapitated and wanting to be a heir to Weyland as he branded him as product. And sincerely, this robot rebellion is getting old by now and after Covenant I found very hard to watch even Westworld season 2, having the same megalomaniac platitudes spouted by robots.

Here are some more Concepts... some again looking a little odd.

I think the whole Debate about the SOUL is something Ridley Scott wanted to get us to Question...

The Aspect of a SOUL as in the Spirit of a Person and that the Body is just a Vessel, is something that has been a part of Humanity long before a lot of the Religions.   Different Faiths and Cultures may all have differences but they all believed in a After-Life/Soul.

I was not intending this Point to became any kind of Faith vs Atheist debate but to look at it in context to Prometheus/Alien Covenant and as far as David.

In effect IF David can have his Soul Uploaded to a New Body, his Soul as in his Memories, Experiences and Emotions then to a Degree, Davids SOUL can Live on after the Destruction of his Material Body.  So this means in a way David has a Soul so to speak, his AI Program and Memories are in effect what the Human Spiritual Soul could be... Yes Different to some degree...  So with the AI Soul, we can see this is something that can LIKELY Live On, and On...  Which leaves the Question regarding our HUMAN Soul/Spirit as being something Ambiguous where its a Mystery  where in Context to David we have these options.

*If we have a Spiritual Soul so our Memories, Emotions and Experiences Live on after Death in another State where we can gain more Memories, Experiences then Potentially DAVID has kind of Similar if his Memories, Experiences can be Saved and Uploaded to a Computer or into a New Body..  So in a Pseudo way David ( Pseudo) Soul 1 vs Human Soul 1

*If there is Nothing when we die.... then it means David ( Pseudo) Soul 1 vs Human Soul 0  

So it really was about asking the Questions... which we dont have the 100% Answer for... and maybe a Movie that tries to give the Answer could Back-Fire and so i think its a case of and what RS was doing, is showing that David Could have a Pseudo) Soul but as far as Humans... Leave this a Mystery.

The other contexts of a Soul, come down to putting everything into something giving your ALL this is something a Human and Synthetic could do... For a Synthetic it would be Duty/Programing but with David it was RS intention to push the boundaries as far as his AI in that he can think and act for himself.

The Soul in other contexts is what determines the Nature and Actions of a Individual and these are Shaped by the Persons Experiences and Upbringing in LIFE.... were we can Ponder would TWINS brought up in different Environment going through TWO separate Lives lead to them both having very different Souls as far as if we consider how ones Outlook on Life and Others are Shaped.

So you could see someone who is kind, generous and sacrifices themselves for others... and consider they have a GOOD Soul, but another person is Cruel and Evil and Selfish and they thus have a WICKED Soul...   A Question then comes that are these people inherently the way they are... or is it their Life Experiences that lead to them being WHOM they are.    And in context to David we can certainly say this applies to him.... the Prequels Hint that potentially YES how David was treated and made to FEEL could have shaped his Personality/Agenda.

@ignorantGuy

Certainly would be Damage Control as they have kind of written themselves into a Corner, RS may feel the route he had intended to take us should have been stuck too, rather than the route FOX felt the Fans Wanted.   some of the points you raise are EXACTLY the reason why Lindeloff said that doing a Literally Prequel is NEVER a good idea as you know where it will END and so all you are doing is connecting the DOTS.... and with the Route Alien Covenant has taken its going to be a case of Shoe-Horning and Spoon Feeding those DOTS. So i think we could ask 100 Fans on here HOW they think the Final Act or Acts of the Final Prequel leading to ALIEN would End... and i think 70% of us would roughly get it Totally Correct.

A ENGINEER and his Ship with Davids Creation who Gets infected with that said Creation...   The only Questions/Plot that has to be filled in (The Dots) are WHERE does the Engineer Ship Come from, HOW does Davids Creations get on that ship in Large Number, WHY does that Ship end up near LV-426  and then WHAT becomes of David.

IF the Curve-ball ends up that David is the Space Jockey i think thats the FINAL NAIL in the Coffin for the Mystery of the Space Jockey Scene.

So RIGHT now they are in a Tough Situation....  HOW do they Fix this?  IF they Kill off David... so we arrive Years after David arrives at Origae-6 and discover Davids Head where we can get a bit of information off him....  Then its HOW does this movie then continue IF it is still set to LINK directly to ALIEN?  

If a Human Ships returns after Davids Paradise has been set up and then Hell Breaks Loose, where the Colony is no more but a Handful of Survivors and David is just a Head for a short while...  and his Creations are Loose on the Planet...  This May be something that would please those who disliked David, it may even please the Fanboys but it could have the Connotation of being a Kind of ALIENS Re-Hash.

So the Route they have Written themselves into its going to be HARD to please every Fan....  I think RS invested a lot into the Philosophy regarding David and Creation and Engineers and he would not be willing to GIVE those up... Introducing the Engineers would be something to consider... but its introducing them and having Human Characters play a role too. 

So they are in a tough situation.

ignorantGuy Hmm... Sorry. I suppose you could Youtube 

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Four Lights

dk for me that link is not working...

 daliens You bring up some interesting thoughts. I have to disagree that group two is in fear. Or perhaps that fear is any living creature's fear of death- that would seem to apply to both groups. But it is a difficult topic to discuss when belief comes into play and assertions are made what people feel deep down- whatever that means.

To illustrate my point in this forum, I offer you CPT Piccard's unflinching reaction to brainwashing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjKQQpPVifY

@BigDave all you propose is damage control. They put all their eggs in the Fassbender basket and this is the result, a big mess.

I don't care to see the world David build, as we already know that his utopia will be a lie and that he will be finally overthrown by his own creation. No character willingly killing the one who loves is redeemable, but Maybe FoxDisney will think that they can make a profit with this story then good, I wish them good luck.

@Thoughts_Dreams, what you ask is impossible under Scott as he clearly sees David as his place holder in the Alien Universe, and ultimately cares only about him. And how could you have good human characters introduced in the last movie of a trilogy? The best you could hope for is that Tea and Danny survive and are fleshed out... They don't have to die if David alters the records and nobody believe them, and will probably use references to the Book of Daniel in which there is talk about visions of the ""beasts". (Ps I don't want this, as someone who liked Shaw, this want sit well with me).

And talking about Oram, wasn't he only a walking satire of current neo-protestant Christians... But he was the second in command and he must have been chest bursted like Kane in the original (the death of the captain happens in correlation to fire, and the third one in command is the one that kills the alien). Could we stop pandering to nostalgia?

Totally Agree Dark Nebula

IF they were a Oversight... its a real Cost Cut, as how hard would a bit more Paint/Make Up and Black Out/Darkened Sclera Contact Lenses would not have Ran the Budget up, and maybe made Make Up what a extra 30 Min per Engineer?

Then the ILLUSION is made more Real...

So if we assume RS was making No Errors... then it does open the Possibility of the Difference between the Engineers being that those Prometheus Ones had Evolved on a World where there Eyes Evolved to that.  Or if he made a Oversight he could put it down to that.. and the below...   But we can give him the benefit of the doubt and that those Engineers kind of was what he was aiming for... 

Ridley Scott mentioned regarding the Engineers that while there are many versions of Humans WHY cant the same be for THEM. He also said the Engineers are NOT a Race, but a CIVILIZATION  and so indeed they could all look different and maybe they could be a mix of different Races they have Seeded.

This does fit very well with WHAT the Source i had from February 2015 had implied..  I find it interesting when they said the Engineers (in context to Prometheus) had more in Common with David than Humans.

That certainly Fits... if those Engineers are Bio-Engineered Creations of the Planet 4 Engineers, or a Race who had Evolved themselves that way.

Ridley Scott had said the Planet 4 Engineers are the ORIGINALS and so the Prometheus Ones came latter.... Ridley Scott also mentioned when talking about AI for the Next Movie... that Roy Batty and Rachael were AI  and so Replicants are AI. 

Which could mean those Prometheus Engineers are to the Planet 4 Engineers as Replicants are to Mankind... Maybe? This would fit well with the Themes of Creation/Rebellion and Sub-Creation.

Totally Agree....

The Prometheus Plot was Great.... if this was changed to a Stand Alone Movie, where the Juggernaught does not resemble the Derelict, where the Engineers Suits and Pilot Chair does not resemble the Space Jockey Scene.  If the Monsters and Murals have NO Xenomorph/Alien connections... so its a Stand Alone Movie... and it had the flaws as far as some Dodgy Acting/Scenes Fixed... then PROMETHEUS could have been a Masterpiece.

The Engineers/Ancient Alien Plot is Good, but for many it was just bringing the Space Jockey too closer to Home/Humanity and this got even less Alien with Alien Covenant.

Discovering a Ancient Alien Species not Connected to Earth, Involved in some Ancient War or other Agenda... that the Humans Stumbled upon via the Derelict could have worked better.

Some Giant Humanoid but not so Human Looking Race who are not connected to our Gods etc and History and then Explore as far as Xenomorph Origins some of the ideas HR Giger had, surely would have been the way to GO.

Maybe Reveal this Race had used Humanoids like the Engineers to Sacrifice themselves....  But a Plot like this could still be Pulled off.

HR Gigers ideas were more disturbing... a Living Ship, that is Grown and a Ship that is Genetically Connected to the Xenomorph and Creates the Xenomorph Eggs, we need only to see HR Gigers Mural for Alien to see this, and note this Mural was supposed to be put in the Cargo Hold above Bio-Mechanical like Pregnant Bellies that HR Giger had Envisioned would Produce the Eggs.

Throw in the Need to have Sacrifices to be Connected to the Ship to have their Genetic Makeup drained to Create the Eggs and we have a Horrific Plot at hand.

The David as Creator and wanting to be a GOD/Megalomaniac Philosophy is fitting to the Prequels.. and what Prometheus was setting up, its execution was just a bit Flawed, because the Engineers, Xenomorph and Covenant Crew where all used like partial Sub-Plots.

David as the Xenomorph Creator does not sit well with MANY...

But there is a FIX which i have Proposed and is what i intend to explore IF/WHEN i get my Alien Covenant Sequel Ideas done..

This comes down to WHY did the Engineers Worship the Deacon Mural? My theory from years ago was those Engineers could not Procreate and so they encountered a Organism that had a Parasitic Life-Style that then allowed those Engineers to GIVE BIRTH to a Creation.  Those Engineers or a Faction saw this as intriguing and they saw it as Perfect... even so they saw a Engineer Born Abomination as more Perfect a Specimen/Organism than the Engineers were themselves and Choose to use its DNA to Seed/Evolve Worlds instead of their OWN. 

If we Run kind of with this Idea, even at a basic LEVEL... then what if the Engineers or those above them... see Davids Creation and see it as being even MORE Perfect than their Attempts...

They then see Synthetic David as being a more Perfect Being than the Engineers Creation Mankind...   So THESE beings then see the Perfection in David and his Creation and Attempt to make a  AMALGAMATION  of the TWO  and these beings thus CREATE the Bio-Mechanical Xenomorph we get in ALIEN.

Thus David  is merely the Middle Man in the PROCESS and the Engineers Started this Process with the LV-223 Experiments/Deacon which David Perfects more with the Proto-Xenomorph and the Engineers or their Creators then PERFECT to the Bio-Mechanical Horror that we got in ALIEN

This is the Route i would be taking with my IDEAS... i feel its the best way to Save Face.... rather than U-Turn again that the Xenomorph is Thousands of Years Old and David Re-Created it... IF they go that route i feel they need to have Davids Xenomorph gain some different more Evolved Attributes.  But it could work......  If they however have David as the Creator of those Eggs in Alien with no input from the Engineers then i feel this would be a massive TURN OFF for the Fanbase.

Excellent Points Thoughts_Dreams

Characters are what is important, a Good Movie has to be believable it has to have you engaged with Characters, and this mainly works for Characters who you can connect with people who are like normal every day people.. where you can feel their Jeopardy.  "28 days Later, Dawn of the Dead, and so on"  this is the exact right point.. how many Zombie Movies do we have?  They been done to death and some are AWFUL others are Good, many are well OK The thing is since the Dawn of the Zombie Franchises... well movies it has been DONE TO DEATH Pun intended we see many movies come out that are well AVP2 in quality....  But then even in a Done to Death Zombie Genre you can have the odd Movie that makes it Fresh and Work... 28 days Later is a Perfect Example that shows a Done to Death Genre can be done again if you get the Characters and Story Right.

The Walking Dead Series showed how to change things up a bit too (but it has suffered some problems) at first it was about Survival Against Zombies and the Humans Jeopardy against the Dead... this started to be Done to Death so they came in with different Plots and Stories where it was the Cruel/Savage Side of Humanity that posed the Greater Threat... and Ridley Scott was tying to do the same with the Alien Franchise after the Beast had been done to Death.

Prometheus set up something interesting and FOX should have stuck with Ridley Scott... and not backed down to give Fans the Answers and Xenomorphs..  But the Problem was HOW they gave these Answers and how the Xenomorph was used that did not do the Origins Justice.

It LACKED the BALANCE needed but it appeared to be Too Much on DAVID and also his Character Arc and Change came across a bit to Evil and Broken for many.

There have been AI movies where the Viewers can feel for the AI, if they are done well then we can Sympathize with a Robot.  We can take Spielberg's 2001 A.I movie as a Example... Funny enough the Synthetic is called David and some of this movies ideas crop up in the Alien Covenant Marketing for Walter.

They need to make David have some Redeeming Qualities and try and change him from the Megalomaniac Dr Frankensiten to a Character we can get more Sympathy for, this is what i am attempting with my Alien Covenant Sequel..  where i am taking the Nature Boy Song Lyrics and Davids  "if we are kind, it will be a kind world" and running with this to give David a different Arc... but he will still be Wicked to a Degree, but only for those who try and Corrupt his Paradise so my David will come across a bit like the Abrahamic Religion GOD

As i agree the route David has taken now... is something that is not going to work too well.... Unless we see Walter Return to the Rescue but i think such a Plot would make the Franchise Prequel a bit too Super Hero Movie/Disney Fairy Tale....

I respect and appreciate Ridley for being such an amazing talent and not taking no for an answer when it came to the original ALIEN. He produced my two favourite films ALIEN and Bladerunner. So I will always be thankful to him for that.

However, in recent years he seems to have lost what once came natural to him; To put together something that is original and awe inspiring. 

When he created ALIEN he was at a stage of experimentation. Every artist was in the late 70's and early 80's. That's why there's so much good stuff from that period.

Originality in hollywood has dripped away since the 80's like tears in rain.

It is possible to still make a great Hollywood sci fi film, however. Bladerunner 2049 and Ex-Machina come to mind.

However, when one tries to create an ALIEN prequel through the big studio's they better be ready for criticism.

The actual backstory of the SJ, derelict and {cargo?} of eggs would be way too surreal and disturbing for the big studios to green light.

Ridley making excuses and not even bothering to look into it and really stop to think why it wasn't as widely appreciated is disappointing to say the least.

An ALIEN prequel shouldn't have any logic. It shouldn't be brought down to earth. It should be original. It should be completely ALIEN.  

That is a Great Point....  and a Hindsight for FOX

With David and Dr Shaw and the Engineer Ship they could have set off to a Home-world that was FAR FAR away from Earth... Hence why they never returned and are not in the Alien Franchise apart from the Space Jockey (which at this point was there for about 2000 years).

But its how do they Shoe-horn it to connect to ALIEN with the U-Turn they made in making the Prequels Actually NOW lead to Alien as opposed to Steer Away as Planned.   So for them to introduce a Human Ship into the Scenario... they had to make the Engineers World more closer to HOME...

A mistake IMO but maybe necessary if they are going the route that the Xenomorph and thus Space Jockey Event happens AFTER Prometheus leaving them 28 years to fit it all in.

But looking back to Planet 4, Ridley Scott said that the Engineers come and go to this Place at Regular Intervals but by that i think he was on about they Return Over and Over...  Much like they did on Earth in the Ancient Past.

Ridley Scott kind of indicated that PLANET 4 was where the Engineers Home-World was... and also ALL the Engineers were located in that City.  This seems very very strange to me.  But fits PERFECTLY with my take on it all, and this Place is a Seeding Farm where the Engineers use this place to keep, breed those Engineers we saw as they are then used for Seeding Worlds...  And by having these Sacrificial Beings in ONE Place means they can be kept a good watch over.

Prometheus opened up a Massive Potential for Creation and other Life in the Galaxy, and a Scope of Beyond our Galaxy...  Its unlikely the Engineers are only connected to LV-223 and Planet 4 and its unlikely Earth is the only Humanoid World they Seeded/Evolved and Taught/Visited.

Alien Covenant Shrank this Engineer Race to a Ship in a Bottle but he revealed Engineers will return to Planet 4 and i think they surely must have created more Humanoids and surely they also must have other Engineer Outposts/Worlds.

If this is not the CASE and we have Planet 4, LV-223 as the Engineers Worlds of Interest and then Earth was a World they seeded and that they go around Seeding and Visiting a Few More i think this would be a bit of a Cop-Out if we dont see the Engineers have other Worlds they inhabit and not just visit time to time...  Also if they reveal Origae-6 was a Engineer World, or is a Engineer World or was a Humanoid World they Seeded.... then i think this would reveal quite a bit of LAZY and Shoe-horning style of Writing where its all a bit of a Coincidence.

"Having different kind of Xenos is something that I like but then you can wonder how come there are different kinds."

I think this just shows the constant evolving and changing of the Plot/Story.

Alien Engineers we see the Engineers have been Creating and Experimenting with 7-8 different Versions of the Xenomorph as a Bio-Weapon, while a bit ambiguous it appears to me that there may be a Native Organism from LV-426 in that Story that the Engineers had Experimented with to Create the Various Xenomorphs.  The Method used to Create these Hybrids was likely the Urns.

So i ASSUMED.. from reading a number of times Alien Engineers.

*The Organism Holloway is infected by is something the Engineers had encountered and witnessed the results of its Life-Cycle.  They then tried to Re-Engineer this Organism into a Bio-Weapon.

*The Urns Fifield Runs into contains the Scarabs that have consumed/obtained DNA related to the Xenomorph and thus its likely they used the Sacrificial Scarabs on the Organism they encountered to attempt to Engineer the Perfect Bio-Weapon.. just how David had done so with the Black Goo and his various Experiments.

WHILE Prometheus Toned down any Xenomorph's there are clues there that suggest similar had been going on at LV-223, and we have to Ponder do the other Temple mounds Contain different versions of the Black-Goo and thus Different Strains than the Deacon one?

ALIEN COVENANT has shown us that the use of the Black Goo can be used to create a large Variety of Xenomorph related Species.

So the potential/likely hood to explore various related but different Xenomorph/Deacon/Neomorph Type Organisms is HUGE.

@dk

I laughed at that, I guess that Xenomorph is the DC Universe... and I love PB and Chocolate...
