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

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

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

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?

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...

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

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.

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.

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.
