Yahoo Movies has released new footage from one the special features included on upcoming Prometheus Blu-ray. This particular video focuses around the Trilobite creature, its body mechanics & design. Watch it below.
Quote from: Xenomorphine on Oct 05, 2012, 08:06:08 PMFacehuggers were probably based on bee stings, but it's a fallacy, because bees can sting as many times as they want. They're just barbed so that it rips away if an abnormally large animal happens to attack the nest, so that it can pump in the maximum possible venom.
Yet a worker bee's stinger has evolved to do exactly that, otherwise it wouldn't be barbed at all. Maybe facehuggers can hug as many times as they want, until they find a nice English throat.
You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying that bees can typically sting as much as they want and that it only rips away if a particularly huge animal threatens them. It's like their version of kamikaze chemical warfare - only used as a very last resort.
Facehuggers, on the other hand, are designed to fit over the head of something our size.

Is not biological weapon. Engineer base in Prometheus is sex toy manufacturer. They developing living organic sex toy but things kinda screwed up and people got raped.
Is more conclusive than any other theory.
I actually remember that idea doing the rounds in the 1990s!
Its all coming together. And coz people think about sex so much, that is why sex organs grow a mind of their own with the help if thinking lube, coz engineers are always thinking with their dicks and vag's.
Holy shit. What kind of rape orgy went on in that facility.

It could also just be that fact that a lot of insect species die after reproduction, don't they? I mean, some moths don't have any mouths because their sole purpose after metamorphosis is to mate, and eating is irrelevant.

There is always a possibility that it was just dormant.

Quote from: OmegaZilla on Oct 03, 2012, 06:25:42 PM I would have liked the Trilobite better if it wasn't a proto facehugger. Like, if it was not destined to impregnate & die. Would have been cooler as an adult stage of something.
would've liked it more if it impregnated the jockey and when we see the dead jockey body, you see the trilobite leaping away in the background. Such a big thing can't just die from raping some spaceman in the mouth
Silly billy. The trilobites point of existence is to impregnate something. It dies naturally after it does its job.

This wasn't supposed to be insulting. I'm really sorry if it is but it was literally a reference to Predators where Stans stabbed Berserker. Won't happen again sorry

I'll just leave this as a warning: please refrain from using that word in the future, there is no need for this word to be used so liberally. This of course applies to everyone here.
People obviously take offense of this, and I do too.
Sorry i really did not mean to insult anyone here. I visit these boards daily and i don't want to hurt anybody on these boards. Sorry And like i said it was just meant as a harmless reference.

mole penis eh... where exactly can you find a picture of that with out having to wade through the millions of human dongs with moles on them? What!? I'm curious now. I think I would figuratively shit my pants if a mole penis looked like a facehugger.

I was definitely grossed out when I saw that creature on the IMAX screen for the first time. Could not have been any more apparent what they were going for, which I think added a lot to the scene. Although I do think it was disappointing how it killed the engineer.
It could have been scarier to extend the chase with Shaw, and perhaps the Alien could have come out of the engineer, and Shaw is back in the pyramid. Then again, maybe that would have been tiring and too similar to the original.

Man, if the engineer's dropped the goo on earth then we all would have been f*cked....literally.
But look on the bright side, no one would have died a virgin.
Before....modifications were made that caused shit to go awry.
Holy shit. What kind of rape orgy went on in that facility.
Tried developing interactive, learning, thinking lube. Screwed up, now penises and vaginas grow to massive sizes and kill everyone.

It's astonishing how frequently it's used per second on the Internet, in general.

Shelf stacker? What with all those tentacles and all.
Or maybe people could show a little more respect maybe?

or ... y'know ... I might not want to invite such an image into your head...
You're my new favorite.

because of the video
He said search for molepenis, so i did
...Not like I did.
Spoiler
Cool stuff, though.
