Is Walter an android/human hybrid and does he bleed red?

Is the new Walter (images below) line of androids a hybrid (biomechanical) of android/human components?

Does he bleed red if he is (no, male actor with blood on grey shirt isn't Walter, thank you BigDave and Svanya)?

Ridley Scott is producing both movies and I would assume, with Blade Runner and Alien in (potentially, not even close to confirmation, thank you S.M and BigDave) in the same universe, that he would keep the technology theme consistent. 

Please see the 3D printed organ technology below from Svanya, thank you again and excellent example of current technology concept for what is shown in constructing Walter.

@BigDave That's the face! The nose and earlobes match! So it's Billy's character then, the victim.

Also, you see white fluid being pumped into Walter in the viral video, so i'm assuming he has the white blood Androids normally have.

I agree with both of your points Svanya. I did put the reference to blood in the title because we were debating who was in the photo.

Wanted to add the white scaffolds in his body looks much like the tech for 3D printed organs that we have now. I'm guessing the buyers DNA is laid over it in a similar way~ 3D printed organ technology and  3D Printing Can Build New Bone

I could not think of a better example, current tech, to explain the white scaffolds (better term) shown below Svanya. Thank you. 

I can only assume a portion of this scaffolding is used to manufacture synthetic/organic hybrid organs and the circulatory system inside of Walter.

The scaffolding reaches throughout his entire frame. The black goo would then have something to work with inside to change Walter.

That is what led me to theorize that Walter could be affected by the black goo and it could change him because of the building blocks the scaffolding produces towards a partially organic organism (biomechanical).

I wish that Technology was affordable as i could do with a few reprints my self ;)

BigDave, thank you for making me belly laugh. Sometimes I look at the mirror and feel like I need a full reprint.

Ohh, didn't notice the brain in there! Thanks Ingeniero!

 

For those that are interested, here is the full Ted Talks video with Surgeon Anthony Atala, a pioneer in 3D organ printing (3D Bioprinting).

Well i have read that Blade Runner is not part of the Alien franchise and are two separate boats. Yes on one hand it would be interesting to see the deeper connections in AI technology but i would rather have them not together, two Masterpieces that should stay single. Towards Walter bleeding red i doubt it, not only is the white blood a trademark for robotics in Alien movies but in the new viral of Meet Walter you can clearly see the white fluid being pumped into his system. Is he bio mechanic? i am not really sure, for me it looks more like synthetic organs, synthetic blood and loads of technologies we are working on now from 3d printing and creating your own growing cells but are they organic or synthetic, my assumption is that they could be further than we think. One thing i find compelling is what you can do with the accelerant (black goo). i always wondered if weyland yutani are not only looking for purpose of finding our makers and harnissing the alien as a weapon but to you this accelerant to merge biology with technology or proceed to the next evolutionary stage in engineering :-)

Yes MJD, I believe the black goo is an accelerant as well.

The merging of biology with technology is a popular theme in science fiction novels such as finding a residual sentient technology that has evolved past biology.

Quite often you see a concern for the living organic lifeforms from the sentient technology like the example in New Earth from Ben Bova.

Maybe after technology takes over evolution and then moves to eradicate all the living things that pose a threat to it, the sentient technology becomes aware of loneliness and then seeks out organic life to protect.

The sentient technology may keep this past a secret like many humans do with misspent youth stories.
