Discuss the exclusively leaked Med Pod 720i model here:

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.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

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

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.

There are big differences.

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!!

It is not fake, it is just poorly made.

Also, I don't think BH would fool us

Shaw realizes that something bad is inside of her and she sets the machine to c-seg mode or the machine itself realizes that its must make the sec, and then the machine holds the creature above her face so that shaw can see her "baby" because the machine thinks its human baby :D, makes sense.
April 13, 2012
Big derp on my part about supposing Shaw was restrained in the medpod when the vidclip shows she's not.
It certainly sounds much more likely that she programs the unit herself.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

Wish I had the original graphic just for the Med Pod 720i ... i could of cleaned it up and thrown on the hi-res background I've made ... so who's got the original source just for the Med Pod image? ... :) ...

The quick shot we see in the trailer just doesn't seem to jive with the Csection speculation imho.
1. Why would you undergo surgery on your own when there are others nearby to assist you?
2. She is flailing/spasming about in the pod which would only serve to cause more grievous harm if your under the knife. Common sense would suggest you would use the anesthetic to ease the inevitable discomfort.
3. For a split second in one of the trailers there is, as mentioned elsewhere, what appears to be something squid/tentacle like above her head or face. Not what you would expect to see from something being removed from your lower abdomen.
The speculation is fun but I'll be darned if I'm not thoroughly confused by the trailers. lol. I think we're all going to be surprised by what actually transpires in the film. Sir Ridley has more than a few tricks up his sleeve no doubt.

This is a pretty cool site. I'm not sure why we are discussing an appliance. Although, I assume that the device features prominently in the movie.

That's one HOT BOX I wonder if this thing is completely sealed...you know for those extra visits to the med lab; at night when no one is around. Just plug in a new air filter when you leave. Question is: which crew member is going to be making regular nightly visits to the Med Pod? Probably the same guy who ends up in the Space Jockey chair. Especially when he likes to go into Highburnation. It's not a cryo-pod, it's a chronic-pod!

I don't think their trying to get something out of Shaw ... I thinks their trying to put something INTO her!

Any thoughts? Yeh, how the f***k do you climb up into the thing?
It must be a 'kneeling' version especially for pint-sized Noomies.
