Alien: Romulus Xenomorph analysis and comparison

Oh yeah I forgot about that one! That laser in Aliens seemed to be more of a straightforward (like the whole movie itself) bio scanner but I'm not sure.

Lookie lookie, Cinema Teaser issue cover

From the preview, first second.

Looks like Funkos are available for preorder. The scarred Xeno is referred to as "Scorched Xenomorph" on the packaging

Another screenshot of the Scorched Xenomorph from the recently released teaser.

This angle reminds me of a shower scene from Covenant

Got the teaser uploaded to our YouTube:

Another one uploaded on YouTube, has lots of new footage! Excitement is real

Some folks received a VHS of Alien Romulus, not the actual film, still pretty epic.

Xeno on the cover

A nice look at the Xenomorph, from the cover of Total Film magazine.

I can't wait for the NECA to show the Romulus figures.

Another piece from Total Film:

And I can't wait for the NECA figure either! Preparing my wallet now... lol.

Xenomorph cocoon, and the barbed tail peeking out of it. It reminds me of something...

The cocoon in that picture reminds me of the Trilobite from Prometheus 

It kind of does.

Another analysis/comparison I couldn't help but make.

Spotted on X, a Xenomorph on display, at some undisclosed cinema.

So that's the "scorched xeno"? It must've been subjected to extreme amounts of heat considering the xeno in Covenant crawled right under the Lifter ship's rocket engine exhaust unscathed. 

Also love the aesthetics, very reminiscent of the xenos in Alien Resurrection. 

Also, that alien statue is in a perfect "wake up!" pose for wifes :D

A few more pics of the scorched xeno model. The last picture is brightened with HDR to make the details a bit more clear

The video of the statue. Pretty neat

Another still of the Xenomorph in hunting pose, with its tail pointed towards Kay.

Much like the Covenant Neomorph and Xenomorph.

I can't get David Attenborough's voice out of my head now.

Love the dark atmosphere in Romulus from everything I've seen so far. Partly reminds me of Ron Cobb's nightmarish industrial interior designs.

The NECA figures really give us a closer look at the differences between Scorched and Big Chap. Notice the hands and feet are dramatically different - there seem to be odd appendages on top of the feet and the hands are elongated far more than in other designs:

I suspect the Scorched and the Xenomorphs on board the Romulus were not authentic replicas of the original Big Chap / Perfect Organism but another imitation - spliced with other DNA or tampered with in a way. It certainly looks that way - even the misaligned jaw, head crest shape and disproportionate body parts compared to its genetic predecessor.

New still, of what appears to be a different Xenomorph.

The new TV spot was uploaded on the 20th Century Fox India YouTube channel, it features some new footage.

Andy says "Stay quiet". In the previous clip "Kay's Escape", in the presence of a Xenomorph, Kay doesn't move or make a sound and the Scorched Xenomorph leaves her. Makes me wonder if Scorched Xenomorph only reacts to movement.
