Alien: Covenant Neomorph vs. Tomorrow War White Spike - Which alien wins?

AdminEngineerJuly 05, 2021Having just watched Chris McKay's The Tomorrow War, it's very clear this film borrowed heavily from the Alien franchise - specifically Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, which I outlined in a recent article here. The White Spikes as they're called, are the hostile alien species which seemingly "invade" Earth. I'll try to avoid any spoilers in this topic for those who may not have seen The Tomorrow War yet, so I won't go into much detail about their origins and purpose, but I can assure you, the premise has an abundance of Prometheus vibes. One thing I will note, is that I love the design of the White Spikes. Created by concept artist Ken Barthelmey (see more here), these Xenomorph-esque are very comparable to the Aliens seen throughout the Alien movies, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Their temperament reminds me a lot of the Neomorphs especially from Covenant.
So, for the sake of fun debate, I'm asking those of you who have seen The Tomorrow War - if the Engineers managed to capture and pit 1 Adult Neomorph against 1 Male White Spike, which alien creation do you think would come out victorious and why?
Although I refer the Neomorph as an overall creepy Alien creation, I would have to give the win to the White Spike. Reason being, both Neomorph and White Spike are very similar in size but the White Spikes have something the Neomorph does not - long range bio-weaponry. White Spikes have two tails which shoot spike-like quills at their opponents. Considering both aliens are very fast, very agile and very aggresive, the only real advantage with this match-up will be the ranged attack capability.
