Every now and then I read someones post about how upset they will be if the alien dose not meet a specific standard (I feel the same in a way)
But for me personally I hope this new alien throws everything I know about them into the water.
Think about it, after Alien we have had 5 different movies with 6 different directors that have added and modified the original design.
Aliens: Added the queen, made the aliens a hive like creature
Alien 3: The facehugger impregnated 2 hosts, the alien skipped the chestburster cycle
Alien Ressurection: Don't get me started on that white thing.
AvP: Nothing new, but they took after Camerons design of alien
AvP Requiem: Predalien capable of placing multiple embryos

If you remember the bonus interviews with the Alien cast, it is revealed that ridleys take on the Alien is quite different.
Alien: Creature has a very short lifespan skin bruises as it ages, obsession with reproducing, capable of changing the molecular structure of tissue into alien dna (like an egg),
The famous deleted scene on alien where Ripley finds the nest with Dallas and Brett inside proves the last theory.

Now something I would possibly expect in Prometheus is a possible "mutation" caused by the hive material that begins to mutate a person into god knows what.
(since there is no queen in the original design there must be a default means of reproducing)
Lets go back to that deleted scene; other than the fact that Brett is turning into an egg, Dallas seems to be in incredible pain. Why is that?
Was he fatally injured? Maybe he suffered a mortal wound that cannot be seen under the material, but why would it harm him so badly if its intentions were to use him as a host?
My theory is that the hive material actually melts down and fuses with the victim causing them to be in incredible pain. I am positive some of the acidic qualities carry over when the alien is using saliva and god knows what else to construct it.
This idea also fits VERY well with the "biomechanical" idea of organic fused with machine. (which is shown here in a slightly similar fashon)

Any other ideas? I am just throwing my opinions at the wall here

You know that is a good point. Now one thing that is also overlooked in Resurrection was that the Aliens didn't kill the scientists. They cocooned them and created some sort of bio interface with them. The one scientist that was teaching the aliens I thought was directly relating what the Queen was feeling and thinking. Now take this back to the Alien basics with the original Alien.
