One or two threads have referred to the Croissant (or Bomber or Juggernaut) as legs a la Mr Giger but think of them as arms for a moment: arms outstretched at shoulder height with the forearms turned inwards and then take a look at the hands. The right hand looks as if it is open with the fingers spread and broken and the left hand seems to be holding an urn. Is this a nod to the follow-up in Greek mythology to the story of Prometheus, the tale of his brother, Epimetheus and his bride, Pandora – she of the ‘Pandora’s box’, or more correctly ‘urn’? Epimetheus had been warned to never accept a gift from Zeus but each of the gods donated something to create the most beautiful woman, exquisitely gowned and garlanded, whom he marries. As soon as the happy couple cross the threshold of their home, Pandora removes the lid of her urn and all the evils under heaven break out to attack mankind, leaving only hope unable to escape. Prometheus was chained to that rock for two offences against Zeus: Stealing fire from heaven and giving it to man Preventing Zeus from destroying mankind It seems Zeus is neither forgiving not forgetful.

Some people have also said it looks like the Hammerpede vs The Deacon. I'm not knocking your idea, I love fresh insight and your point makes sense also, but get ready to be bashed for your beliefs!

The croissant shape has always reminded me of a giant bacteria or virus, as seen under a microscope, non symmetrical in configuration.

Wow, brilliant finding! Ahh, so NOW that movie REALLY makes TOTALLY sense, you brought me to the RIGHT path of DEEPER UNDERSTANDING... So my conclusion ALL in ALL is, that THIS must be the prototype of the alien derelict...

that is why olympian gods are part of mythology. if we consider panspermia theory then the species who made us exhibit equal set of emotions like us. and this is where forgiving god theory fails.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

By looking at the Engineers' ship and The Prometheus,,the designs are for two different agendas...like a Hummer vs a Ferrari,,, It seems to me the 'horseshoe' shaped ship is designed to be stacked..one on top of the other... I never noticed the different ends,,,purpose built to be 'plugged' into something/port..much like today's electrical plugs..so correct polarity is achived..uniformity of docks,,
