MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 12:18 PMDon't know if this has been mentioned before:
In the latest full length trailer, there is an an overhead shot in the Ampule Room. There is clearly a variety of size of containers. If, as many have suggested, they are weapons, wouldn't mass produced weapons be of the same size?
If however, you wanted to create, and in a variety of forms, you might want to use different containers. Perhaps there are different creatures or species in each one.

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 12:43 PMInteresting. Perhaps there are different types of creatures like you say

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 12:55 PMAlso, in the [url=[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q-BfyPgeDUM]2nd TV spot[/url]]2nd TV spot[/url] that came out there is a shot of another ampule room where the ampules are stacked and there are sections of smaller ampules.

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 1:16 PMhmmm. interesting, perhaps the SJ have designed many weapons in trying to create the perfect one which may eventually become the xenomorph
And perhaps we see some of these escape/breed with the crew since we know some of them die by "bugs"
Also the virus looking black ooze maybe one of these 'weapons' from the ampule room.

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 1:40 PMThis was discussed when leaked pictures came from the set some time ago.
It probably maybe that the jars are somehow biomechanical eggs, of some kind...
something we're not used to. Or it might be that they hold dirrent content, and shift in size, becouse of that.

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 1:41 PMI've had a couple of different ideas.
1. They are different varieties of creature, each have a specialized part to play in an invasion. Like the different ranks and parts of an army.
2. Thye are the separate ingredients for creating life forms. The engineers, rather than carry a generic set creatures, carry with them all the elements required to create a bespoke creature based on conditions of the planet they encounter.
We humans arrive, and start mixing things up, like a bunch of children with a new chemistry set, and f**k the whole thing up for them and us.

Could be that the contents were altered prior to our arrival or that we were meant to receive instruction on how to use the contents. Our knowledge could well be child-like compared to the Engineers, but we take samples and examine the samples as if we have some sort of expertise. Perhaps with our relative rudimentary understanding we fail to see that we are way, way, way in over our heads.
