Behold!!! Take a look at that; a shoulder cannon maybe? This looks really cool. I like the fact that he looks a bit different, more mobile looks to be a big part of the story (lets hope). What do you guys think?
This is just an old Hoax I just found out about.

AdminEngineer10/29/2011This was originally a "Prank" image initiated by Alien vs Predator fan site AvPGalaxy.net last April as an April Fool. The picture went viral within a couple days and many sites claimed it as official concept artwork, but following those few days, AvPGalaxy.net clarified and explained that this image was in fact a false piece created by one of their local members.

The shoulder canon is that of the "Predator" franchise, nothing to do with Alien or Prometheus for that matter.
But in terms of the artwork, it was very well done and fooled alot of people!

MemberOvomorph10/29/2011Damn British movie site!!! Thanks for the clarification. Well I knew that shoulder canon looked a bit suspicious. Now I feel like an idoit. A real Alien fan would not believe this right away. I jumped a little to far ahead. Still looks cool though.

AdminEngineer10/29/2011Don't beat yourself up, many fell for it. Many 'Alien' fans. It was a good prank, and a very well drawn image regardless!
