[SPOILERS] Feral Predator Design Thread

[Corporal Hicks]

It's possible it's female, but I doubt it. Why spend all that time developing the female for Hunting Grounds and then proceed to go in another direction immediately after? Like it or not we know what the females look like and we know what they've had in mind every time they got brought up barring Big Momma.

I find it far more likely it's another super from what we can tell of the face.

I know it's Fox (or what's left of it and they don't know they're ass from their back pocket), but I don't think they'd have approved Cleopatra or even the upcoming Illfonic females if the female looks that different.

Theatrical and everything else are very separate divisions, I'm afraid. The movies are free to do whatever they want, to hell with contradicting the EU. I wouldn't look at how Hunting Grounds presents the females as being any sort of roadblock towards how a film would want to do them.

This guy just popped into my head. Kinda see a little bit of similarities in that mouth area?

I think that's mostly just the actual jaw of the skull-mask.

Certainly won't be the first time we've seen a skull implemented on a mask in the films.

Ok so I think we have enough to go on here to begin a full discussion. Here are some images courtesy of shadowedge, thank you by the way.

So what are we all thinking at this point? Me...I'm not digging the face. It's looking too different, even for a possible subspecies. Another critique I have is the dreads. They look too thin.

You're welcome and happy to help.

Edit: Here are images brightened up from the 4k version. More detail can be seen now.

Yeah I think we've been f**ked over again.

The screencap of the predator in the tree vs a mountain lion looks pretty thin. Maybe it is Naru in the Predator's armor or maybe it is a female Predator? Looks less bulky then the silhouette from before.  Maybe there is a male and female Predator.

I think that's one of the male hunters. Not a Predator.

New guy here with a theory I've had for a while; Does Legacy FX, formerly Stan Winston Studio, legally own the original designs from Pred/Pred 2? While 2oth Century owns the character. So any new company, while they can make Preds, they have to legally make them different even by small degrees to avoid Legacy FX's copyright?

No, they were work for hire. The design trademarks if any are with the film studio.

Kind of get Kenner vibes from it.

Which I don't necessarily hate.

[Immortan Jonesy]

I definitely looking forward to watch Prey. The Predator design is pretty cool, also the setting.

The more I stare at this pic, the more I think predator has no facemask other then this skull. I made a crude outline of mandibles and eye sockets of the creature:

[Firestorm]

I like it, i'm also at the point of overlooking the fact that the face design may not be a carbon copy of the one we had in the original, as long as the film is well made and the creature still acts and behaves as we all hope it should with an era of mystery and horror to it then i'm happy, provided the film itself delivers.

I thought this myself, but you can see in this picture there is indeed some form of metallic mask/helmet under the top layer.

Yeah I'm also wondering what is the mask and what is the face. NECA's Ultimate Scout had a pretty different mandible design that kind of reminds me of your sketch there.

Perhaps they're also going with a big departure to what's been seen before, ala this concept by Carlo Arellano:



In any case, not enough to really go on at the moment.

[TheBATMAN]

I think the Plasmacaster will be there. I think that trailer shot may just be faux editing. Seems daft to have a targeting laser for a bow.

I imagine it will be used sparingly however.

[Billiken]

Nothing will beat City Hunter and jungle hunter. The series is missing stan Winston
