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

Ingenerio - 

Yes the others you mentioned have all done a great job too keeping this fresh. i totally agree !! Respect to u all ;)

Thank you daliens and sherris. My pleasure.

Great stuff Ingeniero!

Lawrence of Arabia:

I wouldn't mind seeing more about the Engineers if they manage to make them interesting and make sense as far as the franchise in general is concerned. The potential is there, it is just that they haven't succeeded this far.

The pressure suit and that part of the Xeno seem to have something in common as far as the look is concerned. This is interesting.

Davefried81: Nah, you're not crazy. I see that too

I'm still convinced that the suit is just the Engineer mutated with the black goo in a controlled enough way that it changes them the way they want to be.  Maybe with the correct amount or concoction, Holloway could've ended up like these guys.  The suits just seem so organic and almost slimy. along with it fusing with the regular skin at the neck and wrists. 

"I'm still convinced that the suit is just the Engineer mutated with the black goo in a controlled enough way that it changes them the way they want to be."

I am leaning towards what you wrote above drucea. 

David 8 may have been able to use a genomic design harnessed from the aspects of the Engineer suits (skin mutation) to construct the biomechanical xenomorph.

Building on that, yes, I believe the Engineer suits were either grown on the Engineer skin or the Engineer was designed with the mutation "on" his skin that makes up the "suit".

The pressure suit in the above hologram (and below in Fifield's feed and the Engineer pilot images) is a separate layer from the Engineer suit/skin.

I'm happy you find them useful.

Ingeniero - I agree with you that the LV 223 Engineers may have been developed with the "suit" already part of their skin/body. Now I'm wondering about the similarity between the sacrificial engineer and the LV 223 ones.  Perhaps they are both either engineered, or are examples of the perfect specimens of their race.  If they are just clones or grown to have certain traits, maybe elders from the Prometheus opening would develop perfect, "clean" individuals to seed worlds, but developed the ones with the biosuit/skin to handle the task of destroying worlds or delivering the payload of goo that would wipe the slate clean.
And leading from that, I started thinking about David's (I think he said it) comments along the lines of saying the Engineers used to have a cruel sacrificial routine, but that they changed their ways or something like that.  Maybe the LV 223 Engineer woke up after their race had ceased whatever cruel sacrifice they used to use, but he never got the message being in cryosleep for so long lol.

this is what annoys me about this prequel series so far. we have nothing to go on where the engineers are concerned n they were meant to be the main focus of it all. they really need to give the engineers proper screen time and give the fans what they deserve, an epic movie. after all, we did sit through AVP and AVPR

You're a great sceptic ali81...much needed with some of the far out connections I try to make. I strongly agree with what you said above in regards to the Engineers. One mystery (xenomorph origin) has been replaced with another mystery (Engineers' origin).

I believe that the prequel novel will cover the Engineers much further than we have seen on screen and in the Alien: Covenant novelization.

This below is an excellent aspect you describe drucea:

"If they are just clones or grown to have certain traits, maybe elders from the Prometheus opening would develop perfect, "clean" individuals to seed worlds, but developed the ones with the biosuit/skin to handle the task of destroying worlds or delivering the payload of goo that would wipe the slate clean."

That is a very reasonable evaluation of what we have seen.

Why would they seed a world with a mutated Engineer and have such a ceremony? Start clean, natural specimen...then digest him with a special mutagen that dissolves his body into the environment.

Yes, the LV-223 Engineer may have missed the memo and was ready to roll forward with melting a planet beginning with the elderly human asking for more time.

ingeniero, thanks lol id much rather have had the xeno origin mystery kept till maybe the next movie and have seen a more indepth engineer backstory in AC, leading into the xeno mystery being revealed in awakening, rather than what wev been given. as u say, 1 has been swapped for the other.

I hope these Matrix-style tubes won't be overused in the Alien movies to come:
