that attacking guy isnt going through a transformation his face is acid burned

I agree with the point that the Bio-Former was from the fan fic that made a buzz a while back. For some reason most people are buying into the bio-former plot device as though it's a known fact in the movie. I for one hope they do not go down that Bio-Former road. Star Trek has already covered that same ground with the Genesis device.

@Spartacus; I'm not sure about the 'bioform liquid' attacking someone. I know which scene you are referring to of the leaked trailer. You may be right but it appears more like a creature to me. The evidence from the pictures and scenes I have seen make me think that the 'bioform liquid' reacts with the host, are: a) the way it reacts after on the skin of the face of Holloway (possibly) after his helmet is disolved, and.. b) the reaction to the hand (possibly David) after contact.

@ Spartacus- That's right, forgot about that part. One of the reasons I wrote pretty sure so as not to make it a definite statement. I'm still glad that script was a fake though. @BellaisanAlien- I don't think Holloway's helmet has been dissolved but rather is hinged open and backward. You can still see a large light reflection in his visor to the right of him. I thought his visor still might be closed but if you look to the right where the hinge is you can see it looks like it just may be opened, probably by the person who is trying to help him. Something funny I remember from another forum talking about this scene from the leaked trailer before the official came out was somebody stubbornly arguing that this was a xeno attacking a fat person; looks like their xeno turned out to be Shaw or somebody else just trying to help him. Also can we be sure the two gels/ goos are the same in the trailer. You'd think David would be wearing some kind of protection, Android or not, if the stuff in the container is the same that's melting the poor guys helmet.

@Alien DNA; the helmet definately dissolves there is footage of it happening.......

Don't take this the wrong way anyone, but sometimes I wander what trailers and pictures people are viewing........ :)

I still think elements of it were pretty good though and even though what you guys are saying makes perfect sense to me, I wonder about it because the idea we all settled on after the leaked trailer, turned out to be a pretty likeable one, no? I mean we all ran with it 'cause we liked it, and I think we rekognized how PLAUSIBLE it was/is.

I don't think that's the same person, He doesn't seem to be wearing the brown skull cap with the big yellow nametag that covers the forehead from the brow up. Which Holloway is wearing in the scene I'm referring to. BTW I've seen all of the same pics and trailers as everyone else including the leaked trailer since last year. I may not post a lot, but I've been on here reading everyday since before the trailer leaked. Unless the visor is obscuring the brown cap and name tag then it's not the same person, the guy with the acid on his helmets forehead looks completely bare to me in that shot. I'm not trying to argue with you, this is just what I see. Maybe you can clear it up for me so I can see what you're seeing or if I'm missing something that shows this to be the same person.

I'll give you the fact that it may not be the same person, but IMO the scene runs in the pictures I have linked to above, so we will have to agree to disagree. The two pictures with the helemet disolving and with the footage on the trailer makes it impossible to see whether their is a brown / yellow headband or not; although you can sort of make out some sort of head wear on the first picture. I can't see Ridley repeating scenes and having multiple people having their helmets disolved.

see thats not a mohawk or growth coming out of his head its that hat that they wear under the space suit..and his skin looks chemical burnt to me..are those bumps blisters

I've been doing my best to try and find the "link to an interview where Ridley Scott says directly that whatever aliens appear in Prometheus will be "progenitor" of the alien" that you asked for @GreatBoosUp and, admittedly, have had some difficulty. I looked and looked and this is the best I've come up with so far..... "Production design has commenced, and Arthur Max is heading a small Pinewood Studios art department, whose task is to deconstruct the first Alien and reverse-design the prequels from the original art and visuals. The Alien itself will be reenvisioned as a progenitor of the received form of the Xenomorph, and Scott reported that he had planned to contact H. R. Giger for possible artistic collaboration." I found it at [url=http://movieprometheus.com/]http://movieprometheus.com/[/url] ....under the article entitled 'Ridley Scott, the Director. New Movie, Prometheus, 2012'.....it's about the seventh article down the page. I'm still looking for a bit more though

3:26 AM....close examination of the photographs. Thinks about the scene of David removing the gel covered object from the ampule. Just a thought, so please dont discredit the possibility. There is a definite edge to the section of the helmet that is molten, and the portion that is still smooth. Look between the pinky and ring finger of the glove touching the rippled surface. Remember what the face hugger did to Cane's suit to get inside, it dissolved the faceplate. Think of a jellyfish, some species are transparent. The first photograph looks very gelatinous almost as if there is something clinging to the outside of the helmut. The resulting vapor/smoke could be the by product of rapid disintigration of the plastic due to that jelly eating it's way inside. Once inside it conforms to the face of Holloway and begins to do whatever it is that this jellatinous thing does. That white worm creature that was discussed in other threads was rather amorphous. It slithered out of scene in the leaked trailer. Though it's perhaps too closely related to the facehugger in Alien, could be it's what you get when you leave a biomechanical delivery system dormant for thousands of years, a protoplasmic organism with a programmed imperative to obtain, and evolve using any biological material available.

Not bad @Ghost Solitare...not bad
