SPOILER!

yes ,,looks like a very very sad face

Same swollen shape around the cheek and jaw. And part of his helmet is visible with broken glass. I see faint signs of his head tattoo. Not 100% sure though... Thanks for the pic!

Its the Jockeys helmet....... after all s&*t breaks out and Fifield mutates do you honestly think they will risk taking his head onboard??

It seems the wrong color for fifield's dome.

in response to BellasianAlien, the fight with mutated Fifield (the guy with the hawk and tattooed cranium) was in the hanger, he was already onboard the ship and the head is in the lab. like they are trying to figure out what happened to him.

Hmmm, I think it still might just be the head from the dead jockey they examine. Perhaps during examination they find out that the face of the jockey is really just a mask and they attempt to remove it... no idea why it explodes though. Even the oval lights behind it indicate that it's on the same set as the jockey head.

PPS: Wasn't there something on the Weyland site about a machine that could restart brain activity for a while? Perhaps that's what they're doing to this decapitated jockey before he explodes (and that might explain the holograph like images of running, masked jockeys... last memories?).

This was no, "boat accident"!...

Like I said I'm not 100% sure, maybe the head is deep frozen since... Wait... Maybe this time they actually freeze it! Look at the cold breeze, pale skin and overall cold compartment. Good one, I'm so smart! But it could be the head of an engineer, other than that I don't see any other option :D

no offense, but space jockeys are huge, and have neither a nose or a mustache and beard. look at the bigger image if you don't believe me, those are human eyes as well.

I see no mustache or beard in that image. And the "blue guys" as they are typically called, have very human looking noses and eyes. [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/Prometheus-Space-Jockey-close-up_.png[/img] See.

@Juston well done! You got the perfect screen grab. the lights and scale are the same for both heads making it clear that both depict the same object, just in a different state.

Come on Shawluv:D let's just look at this, I can see why you are thinking of Fifhfield but: 1. the Jockey head is on exactly the same tray as the exploding head 2. in the trailer Shaw is in her scrubs axamining the Jockey's head and then in the same scrubs shocked at the exploding head 3. the trunk helmet, is a helmet, they remove it the Jockey is humanoid; nose, eyes, etc 4. the head is exploding, it's a frozen frame, so any parts can look like anything beard, eyes, mustache, etc 5. there is no way you can see relative size from the image as there is no comparison to a humanoid size / Jockey size head.... Not saying your wrong but IMO it's the Jockey's head........

perhaps the case of the Space Jokcey sacrificed (played by Daniel James) and was sacrificed to give life to a biological weapon, long ago...

There is one way to know for sure

check out the newest trailer, there is a scene with fifield's head swollen like something is growing inside it as he swings his axe around. the explosion that follows this images is what was inside it. the alien artifact looks totally different so thanks for putting it up along side for everyone to see the differences. Wait for the movie if you need to know who is right for sure!

Buy your tickets and let the title role!

Tickets brought 1st June 9pm UK :))

We will all be none the wiser once the movie opens and all this bloody speculations will vanish into the cold dark vacuum of deep space. This movie will take all our spectations and flip them upside down!

Oh and that's not Fifield.
