LV-223 Engineer Suit (enhanced), ties to Biomechanical Xenomorph?

Strange part at the neck:

I see that at the forearm too Ati.

The suit must "heal" to the Engineer skin and most assuredly provide nutrients when in hypersleep.

I hope we get to see these Engineers again in Awakening. Love their designs.

TYVM!!!  I love the suit!!

You are most welcome Cerulean Blue.

I agree Lawrence of Arabia and hope we see the military Engineers (LV-223) again...and I do believe we will.

I assume the Engineer suit is biomechanical due to the adhesion to Engineer skin and the ability to delivery needed nutrition for thousands of years in hypersleep.

I can't help but notice the similarities in between the Engineer suit and aspects of the biomechanical xenomorph.

Was David 8 able to harness the technology the Engineer's use to grow/develop their suits and incorporate it into his organism?

Glad you posted this!  I have done a pretty fair amount of studying and research on the Engineer suit.  I swear I am not crazy if I see the Engineer suit resembling the Big Chap Xeno markings?  Between the rib cage, the forearm pictures posted it is almost a perfect fit.  I always thought the Derelict Engineer in Alien was the first pure birth of the bio mechanical Xeno.  It all adds up since the Xeno takes on its hosts characteristics.  When an Engineer is all suited up in the flight suit, it is biomechanical.  Now I am ranting!  But yes...the Engineer suit really does look like it has Big Chap characteristics.

You are not crazy Davefried81.

David 8's notes regarding forearms' development:

See notes above; C.2.) “show a transition from curiously unmodified forearm skeletal structure to a more fortified one where mass is transferred to reinforcing lateral ridges.”

 ngeniero Dang that is a good catch!  When are we going to get a published book on David's notes.  We need it..NOW

To me, it looks closer to one of Giger's early xenomorph designs.

Fantastic example Dark Nebula. Thank you so much for the image above.

I agree regarding a book of David 8's drawings Davefried81. Thank you for the kind words.

I always thought the Derelict Engineer in Alien was the first pure birth of the bio mechanical Xeno. It all adds up since the Xeno takes on its hosts characteristics.  When an Engineer is all suited up in the flight suit, it is biomechanical.

The first biomechanical Xeno we see is the son of Kane. Unless a "queen" was born from the Space Jockey and laid all those eggs from the derelict ship...

On the other hand the Deacon emerged from a suited up engineer and it does not look at all like the suit of its host. Is there any chance the Deacon is actually a "queen"? There must be some important point in showing the Deacon at the end of Prometheus.

"...the ultimate maturation of the engineers' direction if not their literal fate. Through the virus / Xenomorph as glorious synthesis and poetic culmination of the species. And an amusing biblical one at that. Though not quite linear due to my own inheritance..."

What does that mean?

Thanks for another great post Ingeniero

I tried to answer your above question here, daliens.

Thank you for asking.

In the "Art of Prometheus", those 3 shots before the book starts are amazing. With the Bird Faced Creature,  and also the other picture before it.

Ingenerio - i cant do photos and stuff. would you ever have time to show us those pics and your thoughts plz.

the engineer suit got me thinking about something i noticed in the hall of heads pics this afternoon.

If not i understand and thanks for your detailed masterpieces so far !! a1

Will do sherris on the Art of Prometheus.

I just ordered a copy and will give requested analysis/opinion. Thank you for the compliment of asking for it from me. I also ordered a copy of the Art of Alien: Covenant as well.

I preordered my copy of the Alien: Covenant prequel novel that is released this month and can't wait to get it.

Ingenerio -

Oh i have not ordered the novel yet but will atch on release.

Hey, iam really enjoying your posts and vision. Also the fact that you are almost single handed carrying Alien-Covenant.com through this tough patch. Keeping things not only fresh but detailed and things we can add on to. So i always try to check an Ingenerio thread.

Thanks in advance and for allyour hard work man.

BTW I enjoy Art of P. more than Art of C. Just preference i think. My major saw point was aside from the opening pages in "Art of P." the mural / Fresco character was not in the actual book. Oh well cant have it all :(

I believe the novel will be rich with Engineer content sherris.

Thank you for the kind words above but to clarify, most of my late topics have been responses to: awesome questions from daliens, the online script analysis/documentation from dk, and tech assistance from IRaptus on the embed video. I am certainly excited to discuss Engineer anything with Davefried81 and Lawrence of Arabia. So I go there too.

Yes, Cerulean Blue, I believe the Engineers used tech to control weather, here. Jason Cardona delivered magic here. I don't carry much at all.

I do not remember a single fluff post (all good stuff) from Dark Nebula.

I do appreciate so many of the other topics that have come out during the slow traffic period lately and I didn't want to be disrespectful by not mentioning how I've been motivated by other's questions and comments. And the string of image analysis and collections from Ati.

sherris I agree, Ingeniero can make an interesting topic even from the Protomorph hindquarters :) and keep this forum alive and fresh.

Thank you so much again Ingeniero for your fruitful efforts.
