The Juggernaut and the Derelict are the only warships that we have seen in Prometheus and Alien. But what is their military is even composed of, do they have a organized/functionally army and navy, and what of their weapons? Do they have Rifles, rocket launchers, or machine guns? Or an Bio-energy based weaponry? And what would it happen if a human organized military like the U.S Colonial Marines ever encountered the engineers, and how would both sides react with different weaponry and tactics?? And how would their training be compared to that of a human.

Did you see how the prometheus exploded in a nuclear reaction, and the jugg was barely scratched? It didn't even collapse on impact. The alien technology is stronger than anything we have times a million.

I know you are just having imaginative fun, but good god...its not even enjoyable going there (there = the abovementioned fantasy scenario) in my imagination; i certainly hope i never have to digest any of those elements in a P2 or P3 film. Sorta the antithesis of the direction that was established in prometheus. Apologies if my post comes across as rude. Just felt compelled to chime in.

@Shawluv yeah but what if lets say the Colonial Marines came face to face with the engineers, but its kinda hard to know what a functioning military of the engineers would be like. Especially what their protective body armour would look like.

Engineer Security clearly doesn't work - look how easy it was for A MACHINE WITH A NAME to hack their WMD store-room codes. :)
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...

There would be no face to face period. The engineer would fly into our atmosphere release the vials and its over - entire planet is dead or changed into whatever - end of story. Fastest sequel in movie history.

No contest is correct... There is no way we would even come close.. They're far more advanced than we are... It's just not even a good theoretical topic. But I guess for a simpleton brain... Have at it
