Discuss Prometheus Med Pod 720i

Also includes randomized "safety word" generator.

At least the limb restraints are "comfortable" lol

I wonder if the glass is fireproof, though.

Im pretty sure this will be the set for the scene that scott said could live up to the chestburster scene and rappace said messed her up, she probably programmes it to remove something, people have been throwing c section idea around.

Well, this looks exactly like the one we see in the trailers.

Looking at her after, she must have fogotten that "safety word" biomechanic. Love it.

Am I the only one who thinks this is Fan Made?? The execution of this ad is really cheap, not professional, like the one with the spaceship. I dont think this comes from Fox. :)

@DJAB, I'm not so sure she programs the machinery herself. Considering we already have surgeons performing remote surgeries by robot, here's my take: She's infected with something (accidentally or on purpose), tossed in that pod, and forcibly held in place by those "comfortable" limb restraints. Then whatever's inside of her is removed (released?) from afar via that remote-controlled surgical arm.

if it is the scene rapace and scott mentioned they also said nobody else was involved/witnessed the scene so its safe to say none of the crew witnessed the removal from afar or near, also i dont think the SJ would be familiar with earth tech so I cant see him controlling remotely. also the image reads "computer controlled robotic surgical arms". I think she realizes she has something inside her after she sleeps with infected Holloway and decides to use the automated med pod to remove it.

im not saying she programmed it completely, probably just pressed the "im pregnant with alien" button.

@DJAB, that's hilarious! Pressing buttons are fun!

@DJAB - I agree that's exactly what happens. She takes matters into her own hands after realizing something is not right insider her. That's what the machine is built for.

LOL DJAB It could be that, being totally automatic, it has some diagnosis software that identifies diseases and operates accordingly, that would be the point of an automatic medical station. Concerning the alien presence? Maybe it's just considered as a c-section abortion, or like some tumour removal if the robot identifies it as extraneous tissue. Having the "I'm pregnant with alien" button would be more PC than "abortion". If that's the case I can only imagine the hypocritical outrage...

Can't get QVC out of my head for some reason lol. The Med Pod 720i can be yours for only 223,223 easy installments of $426.

LOL@ "Comfortable limb restraints"!

Not a far leap, looking at operating room technology like the Davinci robotic surgery unit, used here in town for delicate heart operations without having to open the chest. Oh and I like the "comfortable leg restraints" lol. Svanya, I see you caught too lol.

Yeah, I think someone's just having a little fun at the expense of the "Alien" geek community. "Titanium base?"

if that be the case i think the jokes on the person that spent hours in autocad /photoshop making that image lol

If you look at the Prometheus trailer preview "three days left" at 0:09...you can see that Shaw is in the pod and it looks like she is giving birh or having something removed...it is just a sec but there is no doubt...hopefullt im right hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8t_Hnuqafo&feature=related

This is a definite fake. When the picture is at 100% zoom/resolution, the words are crisp clear but the actual med pod image is blurry as hell. Sorry guys, either Fox is being veru unprofessional or we've been duped!

I think it's just a "leaked" preview of what they are going to upload, at full resolution, on the Project Prometheus site. Rather than a fake, it is some kind of reward to the fan base in this forum.

The quality of that image is quite bad to be honest ... the JPG compression is too high ... You can use the Ship's page layout for 'anything new' ... BUT you must keep the hi-Res images on the same level lol ... Whoever produced that failed on that one ... but agree with Nox ...

I'm with @Spacejock - I wasn't sure after the first Prometheus model but now I'm convinced: this has to be some fan-made effort. Some of the language seems so ridiculous. First we had to tolerate, "Fireproof Windscreen" and "Intergalactic Communication Antennae" - now, we have to unblinkingly endure "Comfortable Limb Restraints" and "Titanium Base"? Well, I just can't smile politely into my shot-glass, anymore. @jones She couldn't have been "forcibly held in place" as, evident in the clip I saw, she wasn't restrained, at all. Evident, also, is the fact that she was not generally anaesthetized, judging from her powerfully hysterical thrashing. It does seems to point to her having to, (or choosing to), operate, on herself.

I think its genuine. Its a tongue in cheek advertisement for weyland industries not really targeting the sci-fi fans of 2012 but the potential investors/shareholders of 2089

Press #1 for Space Jockey pregnancy test, press #2 for alien parasite.

I bit off topic here guys but I have the biggest crush on Noomi Rapace right now, so I propose the following: Who's hottest Noomi or Charlize?

@jones Maybe your right? There is one scene when Shaw is unconscious sourounded by Humans in Bio Hazard Suits, she wakes up they try and restrain her and she hits them with a object and escapes. This could lead to either. They are trying to grow something in her, or know she has a Organism growing, and she finds out and escapes to cut it out. Or they take her to the Med Pod to Cut it out. She does not look strapped in though, and if its a private scene then that would imply she did it herself....... But then maybe the private shock value scene is not the actual Shaw having the C-Section. Its gets to me that this scene Ridley is on about is huge and going to be one of the biggest things in the movie and add shock value like the Chestburster from Alien did. If so then why show that scene in the Trailers knowing people will slow down and take stills and discover she has had a C-Section and had a Squid like creature cut out of her. No i think there is another shock value scene and maybe something that actually leads to her having that Organism Grow inside her.

This is a FAKE, per its officially released picture. [img]http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/7109/medpod.jpg[/img] There are big differences.

NOPE NOPE, IT'S DEFINITELY CLAUSTROPHOBIA SHE'S GOT, THE OTHER IS A CUDDLY!!!!! LOL

on the uk tralier it shows her sprayed with blood,in the us tralier on the inside of the pod its sprayed with black stuff,it seems to be a bigger question than the origins of humanity........is this movie going to be PG-13 or R.......,what i'am saying is if they have a movie in 2D and 3D why not have a movie PG-13 and R,then everybody is happy...eg.I WOULD LIKE ONE TICKET FOR PROMETHEUS 3D PLEASE!......Ticket guy says...PG-13 VERSON SIR OR R RATED VERSION SIR.......R RATED PLEASE,THANK YOU!..,how simple is that!!
