taken from the new trailer, in the reflection of the helmet we can see what kind of transformation the infected crewmember has gone through.

Trouble is.....whatever is stood before him seems to be wearing a helmet of somekind. You did give me hope for about a second though lol


Mark CawleyApril 30, 2012
Yes i think its a Jockey not a xeno.....remember the xeno has no eyes or nose. And the helmet or back of it looks layered like its constructed.
In fact.....it looks like melted face........so the helmet melting doesnt kill the guy it seems. If you look closely as it stands up youll see it looks melt damaged around the edges.

@mark Caweley
We don't know in which kind of lifeform the infected crewmember(s) turn into.
In the picture it's definitley a crewmember not a jockey (you can see it when you watch the trailer with whole picture). So your latter assumption is right I guess.
I believe the final stage of transmutation caused by the hug from the cobraish thing isn't revealed in the trailers but we can see an intermediate state here. The physiological shape of a humans head turns into something more rounded, greyish... an xeno protoform of some kind is what we see, maybe.

It's the catalyst to the bio-mech transformation
He's merged with his suit perhaps. Bio meets mechanical in that way?
Definitely melted face Milburn


nostromo77April 30, 2012
Me niether,, i think i can see a grey skull or something..
btw the original alien did have "skull face" underneath the dome..

belladonnaApril 30, 2012
absolutely correct nostromo! it had 2 eye cavities and a nasal cavity covered by a "jelly like sensory organ". as explained by ridley himself.
supposedly this large organ could sense sight, sound, smell, so on.
in alien the organ was soft but in aliens it was replaced with a harder ridged boney looking head.

Great catch & post Aquilla! I definitely see something being reflected. Man, does this community have a set of eagle eyes, or what?
nostromo77April 30, 2012
hehe thanks belladona! what is that character in your avatar from?
Back on topic aswell...any chance you (Aquila) could circle the area where you see the xeno reflected in the dudes helmet? I just watched the trailer again, this shot only lasts a couple of frames so its damn hard to see anything.

Very perceptive, Aquila 210. Actually there is a reflection of the thing´s face.
It also pays a tribute to Scott´s atention to the detail, because it is almost certainly a CGI work.

@Prometheus_II,
Certainly you´re kidding? It has nothing to do with a Predator. I see a huge eye in a froglike face. It is more reminiscent of ET, in fact...

GalzuApril 30, 2012
It resembles the creature in the Mural. (the one with the bald guy extending his arm onto the creatures head)

Alien DNAApril 30, 2012
Aquila, is there a way you can circle or highlight where you see the reflection of the face. I see two possible obscured faces there, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing what you're seeing. Everyone here that sees something might be agreeing with you and each other, but may not be seeing the same thing. It would be nice to know that we're all on the same page.
abordoliApril 30, 2012
Look in the upper-two-thirds of the left half of the picture. First find the shiny nose reflection then look down for the mouth and up for the eyes.
aximomaticApril 30, 2012
Looking at the trailer frame by frame I have noticed that there is no movement in the reflection. Meaning there is no reflection of the face of the person but just reflection of the background. Maybe a flaw.
If I ignore my reasoning then all I see is a skull-like face reflected on the left side of the helmets glass.

Prometheus_IIApril 30, 2012
@centrosphere
I'm not saying it is a Predator. But it resembles a Predator with it's facemask on.

The guy doesn't look like he's looking at a creature, he looks like he's confronting someone who owes him five bucks and refused to pay up. Please no more mention of predators, I like that franchise but if there's a predator creature in Prometheus I'm going to stop going to the movies and burn my dvd collection.

Biehn_BanditApril 30, 2012
Yeah, I see it. It's wearing a white ascot too. And if you look at the top, it also has a beanie or something on.
whiskuzApril 30, 2012
There couldn't logically be a reflection on the left side of the helmet glass from something just to the left of the camera, which is where this creature is. Light from the creature would reflect of the left half of the helmet glass at a large angle and head off over the guys right shoulder. Light reflected back to the camera would have to reflect off of the middle of the helmet.

Alien DNAApril 30, 2012
Whiskuz, unless it was added by CGI. Then they could just do what they want. You never know, the CGI guy could've been thinking about the lighting the same way you're describing and then just said f*&$ it and called it a day. LOL
This is like trying to find images in the leaked trailer; I think our imaginations are filling in what we want to see and not what may be there.

takka_takka_takkaApril 30, 2012
So it's a French hipster predator. Cool.
Cool, cool, cool.

I cant see anything :( Maybe a little grey alien head but obviously thats just my imagination lol. Can someone please outline it?

For those having problems seeing the area in question.


Aquila210May 02, 2012
Uh, what have I started! I need at least to clarify now what I see from this, that made me start the topic:
[img]http://www.folko.de/images/xenoface.jpg[/img]
I see a head with one eye (the other one hidden), a nose and a mouth, very human, but changed into grey colour and phyyiological shape much more rounded, egg headish - some transition phase has started:
[img]http://www.folko.de/images/xenoface2.jpg[/img]
The angle of the reflection would match with a person standing before the helmet a bit better than the other findings, which I didn't saw at all.
Probably I am so wrong. But I still see it! ;-)
Cheers,
Aquila210
NC77May 08, 2012
Based on the last trailer where we see the helmet melting this may not be a result of a mutation but instead a guy with his flesh burned down to his skull with a layer of molten "Nano-reinforced composite". In that same seen right when he looks at this guy you can see the charred shoulder and charred side of the crew member in questions helmet.
RizzleMay 20, 2012
This is what I see!

I think NC77 is right. Also, this guys expression says "Man, you poor bastard. Glad it wasn't me though." a lot more than "Whoa, dude just turned into a freakin xeno frog."
I would think the latter would be a little more pronounced than the expression we see here.
