Here’s the first real look at the Alien/Predator hybrid courtesy of USAToday.
USAToday also have four more clear pictures of the hybrid and they did a little interview with Greg/Colin Strause. Check the other images out on the next page. Thanks to Darkoo, Simon and Innerchaos for the news.
EDIT: One of the captions for the pictures provided this information: “Unlike the original Aliens, the Predalien doesn’t lay eggs which are then transported by a face-hugger. The new creature can regurgitate in it’s victim’s mouth.” So…erm…it’s a big face-hugger maybe? (Hicks)
^ They’re certainly a lot better than the shots we saw in the trailer.

That's one frickin' thick tail!! :o And the mandibles are not really a part of the mouth :-\ Sorry to say, I kind of expected more.. This is the first thing I'm kind of negative about, but maybe it'll grow on me.
yeah I agree, im not convinced yet unfortunately, I think the predalien maquette that we saw 2 months ago was far scarier than this. In any case I wont pass judgement until I see the movie.
Looks cool
Wow it looks better than I imagined. :)
this iz amazin' much better than i thought it wud b lyk, the mouth of the alien iz jst like the dog alien and the tusks are huge! luv the pic wif pred wif the spear and the girl on the bed face 2 face wif predalien. excelent!
i dont like the dreadlocks and the mandibles, should been more of the mouth,but looks amazing, would of prefered to wait til the movie to see it tho :S lol o well looks bad ass
when it comes down to it, shouldnt a predalien be far superior to a predator in fighting ability. because as far as i can tell, an alien takes on the positive characteristics of its host. for example: a plain human wouldnt have a chance againsed its alien counterpart, same with a dog/cattle thingy. im surprised the predalien would even break a sweat taking on a predator, although im sure many pred fans will have a problem with wat iv just said :)
It looks really good. The thickness of the tail and the dreadlocks are a little odd but all 'n all i give it 9 out of 10. Also is it just me or does it's sternum kind of look like the spider-man/venom symbol at certain angles??? Anyways it looks great. :)
the 2nd photo with Wolf and the predalien is the best i've seen so far it portrays the creatures perfectly
The mouth is just plain weird. Doesnt make sense to me to have the madibles not be part of the mouth.
Wow it looks better than I imagined. :)
the 2nd photo just plain ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's up with Wolf's crazy underbite? His lower mandibles are juttin' out like there's no tomorrow.
and alien is dead forever
wow - looks good. Nice work ADI.
the pred-alien looks ace! apart from the dreds. why did they show us what it look's like..i wanted to be surprised in the cinema...lol ;D
you can see the scar's on the wolf! u know he's bin here before...lol. can't wait for this movie Rock On!
Hmm... don't know bout those hands of hs... and he's a bit of a fatty :P but I like how he's very upright, none of this running on all fours all the time crap. Plus the dreads just look tacked on the side... bit dodgy.But overall, I like.
Looks very cool at the first look, but the only negative thing could be that the mandibles wre no part of the mouth, but its less importent i think...but in the whole, very cool, although the predalien maquette was a way scarier and cooler
it has eye sokets behind the cowl not seen since giger : :o
LOOKS FAR BETTER THAN I RTHOUGHT IT WOULD!!
it looks to me as if a chestburster didnt burst out but grew up and out of a predator and the pale skin is the predators dead skin that or a cloned experament combing the alien and predator dna as it looks to much of a even mix :o
Frickin' nice!!! ;D
8 out 10, like it, face is awsome..
that is freaking amazing.
Oh my ... I really dont know, what People have against Chest ... SHE LOOKS BRILLIANT!!!! What a bitch ^^ .. haha Very Biomechanical ... the second pic is godlike and the fourth Pic is really really f**king scary ... oh boy ... this movie will rock .. aa .. just two months ... greetz
Wowee! That is one amazing creature! Looks so cool! Can't wait! 3!
not great....the predalien model that was released a few months ago looked fine but i dont really like the look of it the mandibles are huge and the dreads are to big but i suppose it will grow on me.
prealien is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, think about, its a massive achievement, designing this creature of which people are completly split upon its appearance, and they've managed to get the fans agreeing (to a certian extent), but most people like/love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
predalien looks great- theyve obviously made a decision about the mandibles. if the alien was to adopt them, why wouldnt it improve them for its own use? the alien can clearly use them to hold its prey in place. love it
can any one else see the eye holes in the skull ??? its got a touch of the newborn about it :o
OMG! She looks beautifull! Chet look much better than i can expected! Brilliant design!! Nice work Strauses and Adi!
looks great!
Except for the tail and the dreadlocks, she locks like one sexy mama. Interesting about the life cycle as well, how she regurgitates into her victims mouth to impregnate them.
i think is awesome way better than i imagined 9.5/10 becuz the hands looke dodgy
hybrid a lot better....but Predy looks absolutely PERFECT on the second picture!!!!!!!!......yeah!!! :P :) ;D
no sire, I don't like it
You can see the predator skull beneath the dome in the first and second pic.
Fantastic! I mean they could have kept the original usual human alien design and just give it mandibles and a bigger head! but they've changed it and modified it. Which is better than seeing the same old thing...the fight between the wolf & chet is going to be awesome! Rock On!
When it comes down to it CARNALIEN the Predalien is still fighting like an animal. The Predator still has its weapons and brains. If the Predator was getting swarmed by Predaliens (maybe even just 2) it wouldn’t have much chance. This is just one on one and the Predator looks like it’s having a hard time as it is to me getting impaled in the trailer by it. How many Aliens were killed in (Aliens) before they finally took out the Marines? Add to the fact that most people aren’t trained to fight each other let alone anything else. All the Predators do is train to kill exotic and dangerous creatures. What do you want an instakill of the Predator? ::)
Very cool and very scary. Well done strause!
Not sure about the white bits on the Predalien body but other than that looks cool.
Frikin sweet! Shame about the mandibles not being part of the moth. Overall, 9/10. P.S. I now know why the predalien uses its tail so much. Look at the size of that thing!!! ;D
Looks very similar to the predalien in AvP2. Looks very impressive so far.
Very nice, I like it. :]
k this is totally un related but i watched monty python and the holy grail last night, and during the part with the monks that smack their heads with thier books, i could clearly hear them say "requeim" at the end of their chant :o :o It was really wierd watch the movie again if you own it and you'll know what im talkin about :) :)
"Looks very similar to the predalien in AvP2." God i hope not(if you are on about the game).
looks better with dread locks obviously its not hair ;D 8)
Not too bad! Looks good so far, even though people will complain because it's not designed to their standards but screw it, they are doing on hell of a job! 2 Thumbs up from me! ;D
Dreadlocks...OK Mouth...PredADIalien. It has the usual problem ADI has with predator mouths. It does not look biomechanical. It is just another step in ADI "fleshy" aliens. They have just put layers of muscle over ols ADI alien mold..
Looks a lot better than what I expected ;D
im a huge fan of the predator and alien films, what the hell where they thinking of in avp1, this film better produce the goods ,r there r going to be a lot of angry fans,love the site guys, keep up the good ,bob45 in ireland ;D
I think the dreads make it look a little too much like Sil from Species. Not too keen on the white exoskeleton either... Love the tail, though! 8)
Holly S**T!!! She looks AMAZING!!! :o :o
HOLY F**KING S**T!!! :o ;D .THATS AWESOME!!! l,,l_ :D _l,,l .HEY DARKNESS!.CAN I HAVE THE TOP PIC OF WOLF FIGHTING CHET AS MY WALLPAPER?!?!? ;D .
Looks very COOL , cant wait anymore, i need to watch the movie!
Hey,Chets dome is see-through like my one alien!.This is so awesome!! l,,l_ ;D _l,,l .YOU ROCK BROTHERS STRAUSE!!!!! ;D ;D ;D .
Excellent design. I love it. Brothers Strause and ADI did a fantastic job.
I have a feeling there is going to be 2 fights between the Predator and the hybrid
I dont care what those stupid critics say!.They can bad mouth it all they want,because even if i have to walk through a hundred miles of 3 feat of snow im still going to see this movie!!!.ROCK ON!! l,,l_ ;D _l,,l .
The Predator mouth is not going to look cool. Notice how far the teeth on his upper gum are outjutting.
So?.Even though i think they look cool,whould you rather have the faces from AVP?.
holy shit~wtf is up with those mandibles?
I don't know about you all but i love it. They could have done more, yes, but remember its the first time a Predalien has been in a move. So its just fine. Who knows maybe if its in the 3rd movie it will change its look, because remember that Alien change their look in every movie and sometime go back to their old look. So don't judge just yet> ;)
I don't know about all of you but I think its just fine. Its the first PredAlien has been in a movie, and remember how Aliens change and adapt. Its the first look. So don't judge yet. ;) It still looks like an awsome movie! :D
So what do you guys think of my trailer? ;D .
JUST FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!
wow i have to say i'm damn impressed. i just watched the first predator movie last night and now that i'm back on this site looking at wolf the more he reminds me of the pred from the first movie. nice job on the hybrid, can't wait to see how badass it is on the big screen!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jKCREXOCPFw&NR=1 This animatronic predator halloween MASK, is better looking than the ADI crapness
OMG i think i'm in love...absolutely beautiful
:o :o Its looks awesome and terrifyind and angry alien monster.
Looks fantastic! I like everything about the Predalien with the exception of the hands. I absolutely hate those funky looking, over-exaggerated hands and fingers! Why can;t they just go back to the tried-and--true original Giger design?!
i wish people would stop moaning about the dreadlocks and mandiables the directors make it how they want it i think it looks way better than if the mandiables were part of the mouth
I like it
Predalien looks totally freakin' awesome. For all of you who question the dreadlocks it's due to the fact that Predators dreadlocks aren't like human hair they're like a biorganism for example skin, hence why the Predalien has the dreadlocks. Plus it's keeping true to the games and original piece of artwork so put up and shut up the directors are doing good. ;D
Wow she looks amazing!!!!!
Totally awesome and bad-ass. A true freak of nature.
Mandibles look rediculous
The predalien looks great and I agree with the following: "jimmylace | 26 Oct 2007 11:4730 predalien looks great- theyve obviously made a decision about the mandibles. if the alien was to adopt them, why wouldnt it improve them for its own use? the alien can clearly use them to hold its prey in place. "
The PredAlien looks awsome
its head looks alot smaller, and its tail alot thicker, than it did in the trailers, i thought is had a crown lik design on its head lik the queen usually does...?
zen I dont care what those stupid critics say!.They can bad mouth it all they want,because even if i have to walk through a hundred miles of 3 feat of snow im still going to see this movie!!!.ROCK ON!! l,,l_ _l,,l . ___________________________________________ ''Rock On'' oi! thats my phrase!!!!!! lol ;D
Anyone agree that the wolf looks mashed..he look's like he's been in alot of fight's. Also he's fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down lol. I love it! Rock On! 8)
Strause Brothers ..... .... without a shadow of a doubt proven your superioty when it comes to the visual, bloody heck! these are absolutely beautiful ;D ;D ;D .You said BEFORE you made the movie that you wanted to bring the horror aspect from BOTH Alien and Predator movies and You have ... BY THE BUCKET LOADS!!! THE COLOUR SCHEMES ARE VERY REMINISTENT OF THOSE FROM THE FIRST ALIEN MOVIE, BRILLIANT. You both should be recognize, and the critics WILL see the accomplishments you done making it a more, you have made a monumental shift ... FOR THE BETTER! ;D ;D
I still can't get over how well that hybrid looks, when I look at it It takes me back to the movie ... Alien ;D I MEAN LOOK AT THE IMAGES ( especially 1 and 3 ) HOW CAN YOU NOT BUT BE IMPRESSED??
The Bio-machanical look is back,!!!!!!!!!
The pic in the hospital look very scary.
looks cool love it ;D
The pred-alien is so cool. :D
holy effing SH*T!!!! I just had a predaliengasm from lookin at these! just plain feakin' unbelievible!!! oooohhhh soooo AWESOME!!!! Wolf: you are one ugly bad ass mutherf**ker son of a bitch! Predalien: yeah i am deal with it!
I don't know, The dreadlocks still suck, the body proportions seem off (hands to torso etc) and the seperated mandibles are annoying but not a dealbreaker in and of themselves.
Daddy like, I have to say the mandibles being seperate from the mouth itself is a cool idea, if you think about it there are now three mouths, the aliens tounge/mouth, its normal mouth and now the mandible/jaws. very nice touch.I wish adi would stop f'n around with those fleshy bloated shoulders for the aliens yuk. This movie is looking to be what I have waited 16 years for since reading the very first a v p comic back in the day.
Is it me or does wolf have an under bite? ::)
ADI has always had a problem with adding there own flair to the creature designs someone else came up with. They’ve done this since Alien 3 when they took over. I think the predalien has all the elements it should have its just not put together in the perfect way. I never really cared about how the predalien was going to look just hopped that they put more thought into the composition. My main problem, however is the predator and has been since AVP. ADI had to put their own touch on a design that has been perfected; they ruined the mandibles and the forehead. Its clear in the picture above the predator is all out of wack. If anything Stan's studio should have done the predator, after all they created it, and perfected it. But from an artist stand point it’s still a nice sculpture it’s just not the predator more like ADI predator like creature. I’ve sculpted a predator it’s not hard it’s a very basic form I know these guys could do it its just clear they threw out the book and did their own thing. Oh well beggars can’t be choosers. The story, just better be good.
mabey its so far forward because hes in the middle of a war cry/yell ;)
This is the same predator appear in the trailer and images. In the film this predator fight with a tons of alien and predalien ?
I believe so This pred is a one man wrecking crew
I like the design, but I'm worried this is just gonna divide audiences even more. The people who hated the first AVP are just using this as ammo for how Fox is altering the Alien mythology too much and how it's catering to the video game crowd. The message board on Ain't It Cool News is absolutely ripping these images. For me, I want this to be so successful that we get the 3rd AVP movie in space that the Strause Brothers have mentioned. As much as the diehards will still embrace the movie no matter how different the Predalien looks, we need a MASSIVE AUDIENCE TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND KEEP THE FRANCHISES GOING. There's not enough people on this website to make this a hit.
I don't like the mannibals being so far away from the mouth. I also don't like the dreadlocks they remind me a bit of a little girl with pig tails. Finally, I was expecting more bulk in the predalien. Instead, it looks like they attached some predator stuff to it and called it a predalien.
HOLY SHIT!!!!! :o That thing is gonna kill some humans now! Alot of people are going to be negative about the design, but I think it looks pretty f**kin' rad!!! ;D :D
Can't believe the way the predalien turned out!!!!! Very Very COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
It looks good, but it's not what I imagined, the tail is FAR too big, and the mandibles don't look that good, but other than that it's really good. 8)
That looks bad*ss!!!! ;D
Did you guys read about how the predalien empregnates its victems? by regurgitating in there mouths!!!! o kk aa http://www.usatoday.com/life/gallery/l071025-avp2/flash.htm
:o :o :o :o HOLY SH-T!!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8)
wow, ive been wanting to watch the movie badly but now that ive seen these pictures im 10x as excited to see this damn movie already!!! ;D
:-\ They did a kinda bad job on the mandibles. I mean common!!!!! The mandibles are messed up,the chest of the predalien looks like a frekin facehugger.I think they could of did a better job than this on the Predalien >:( I would haft to say my fav. picture would haft to be......the 2nd picture, and the last picture.
Beautiful Beautiful butterflies
hey, for anybody who wants this as their background/desktop...just click on any image (I suggest the predalien ansd Wolf fight) then right click and select background for desktop and it is soooo awesome
looks like a dad nightmare! awesome!!
and look´s like hellboy´s samael
2 think bout it, da Predalien looks lika a clown no seriously, jus look at da front part it looks lika clown.
COOL
Nah i jus dont feel happy wit dis design it should hav been like this http://www.canmag.com/images/front/moviesetc/predalien.jpg
allucinogeno ;D
coooooooooooool predalien :)
its grown on me now lets see if it can act.and to all the people who get up up set about the possible pred queen the avp movies are their own entity and shouldnt be compared to the other films their there own cannon and for the pedaliens reproductive method the preds may have a complex reproductive system may be a sexuel
You guys should read PREDATOR:Forever midnight.The preds (Hish-Qu-Ten) are like frogs,they'r able to change sex from male to female and back.And yes,AVP has become its own frachise,and its evolvinng like ALIEN evolved and like PREDATOR evolved.Its become its own entity! ;D .
Oh my god it looks amazing,im so excited about this film.By the way its looking so far, i think its gonna blow peoples minds.I love the idea of - and now the look of the hybrid.Im all warm inside lol.
carnalien | 26 Oct 2007 09:587 when it comes down to it, shouldnt a predalien be far superior to a predator in fighting ability. because as far as i can tell, an alien takes on the positive characteristics of its host. for example: a plain human wouldnt have a chance againsed its alien counterpart, same with a dog/cattle thingy. im surprised the predalien would even break a sweat taking on a predator, although im sure many pred fans will have a problem with wat iv just said im a hardcore pred fan but ur completley right!! but the case could b that the hybrid is a youth
OMG AWESOME!!!!!!! Mandibles are done really well and their quite innovative to be fair.
that is so cool :o :o :o :o
looks to me in the last pic the predalien is about to make a headbite to the predator.
fine!!!! but.........I really want to see the predator face now!!!!!!!!
HEY BROTHERS STRAUSE! I like it! The Predalien looks very menacing! I think it harkens back to the idea of the original Predator movie. The first Predator was a formidable adversary for Arnold Schwarzenegger. It made people think, "Uh oh, Arnold's in trouble!" That was the first time Arnold ever got his ass kicked. Now the tables are turned. The Predator finally has to hunt a creature that is most likely going to give him a tough time. Wolf is definitely going to have his hands full!
:) ;) :D ;D 8) :o :o ::) :) ;) :D ;D 8) Holy hannah this looks cool now i really want to see this movie even more.
If you notice it stands on 2 legs, and that to me makes it look like the 1979 alien. (In other words a man in a suit)
Man predalien is a ugly I guess he gets it form both sides :o
If the mandibles were a litle diffrent, The pred-alien would be perfect.
Hmm yea da mandibles r alittle weird n da mandibles n dreadlocks r useless, y hav it on an alien or mus d alien take da mandible or dreadlock trait? it only makes d alien slower n bulky. No advantage given except makin da creature look more scary dats all. Talkin bout SCIENCE...
This comment is to the predalien in the pic:You fugly,you fugly,yo mama says you fugly!.When i say predator you say yautja!.PREDATOR,YAUTJA!.GO HISH!!! :D :D :D .seriously though,the predalien looks awesome!!!!! ;D ;D ;D .
LOOKS KILLER!!!! i was very worried about how the hybrid was going to look, all i can say is "DAMN", JOB WELL DONE. Now, i think we're all waiting to see how PREDATOR's face looks from the front because those side shots of pred. does him no justice.
man this looks kl itz better than i thought it would be and its a lot more like the predator than i expected!
>:( I cant beleive no one commebted about the movie rating. THis had better be rated R with a rated x directors edition on dvd. ALL the aliens and predators were dark and gory not for kids. screw u kids u dont know what real movies are all about. I hate how society is teen and family oriented. Its like the new star trek being directed by the sorvivor shows and having !@$% american idol casting.!! I'm pist!!!!
My mind is still not at rest for questions linger.... Y does da predalien look lika CLOWN or girl wit pony tails? Y r da jaws on da cheeks of d predalien? Doesnt it make it look useless den y hav jaws? N wad does da hair do for da predalien? Ne advantage? NO It jus makes da Predalien more bulky n slow dis is ridiculous!
ZEN, you said preds like frogs!!! ??? Oh GOD, I am so dissapointed. What else do you know about them that was not shown in the movies. :o
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Svme9_xVQ3A A true example that great music amplifies what we see.
i have a problem with the dreads because the dreads on a predator are hair the novels tell us that the hair is simply pulled incredibly tight. :(
In response to the "Shouldnt the Predalien be able to take the predator no sweat" comment, I dont think that's necessarily true considering the rigorous combat training that a Predator goes through. Though the predalien is probably physical superior, skill wise it couldnt be able to match a skilled predator
and another issue is that the predalien's mandibles look more like insect mandibles i much prefered the concept art that was posted minus the dreads the predalien has way too much flesh and is just a little too simular to the newborn in some respects :-\
im afraid that the movie is going to place far too much emphases on the predalien and not on the characters or even the battles between the aliens and predators :o
True dude u can say dat again, 2 me da movie is between da predalien n da pred, i want ALL D ALIENS vs da PRED not jus 1 by 1 ALL! N da predalien is 7/10
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nomad:Thats just for the Hish-qu-ten,not the yautja or the others.And the Hish have a gland called the kill-gland located just above the sternum,without hormone supressents its like filling a guy full of steroids,LSD,meth and crack.
Looks good still like the good old aliens best!!
OMG im sooooooo excited now!!
Feakin nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!10/10!
what happened to the Predators mouth in the last pic.............it looks wack!
those pics of the predalien looks so freaking cool. i cant wait to see this badass on the big screen taking out the predator and the humans in the movie. ;D ;D ;D
sweet! :o
i say that the stupid predalien looks sooo stupid and the directors should have gave a dif look on the son of a b---- but hey at least they came out with another movie were is alien 5 or predator 3 this is gay GOOD LUCK ON THE MOVIE I WILL NOT B3 WATCHING IT EVEN IF IT IS RATED R
WELL WELL THIS IS GONA B3 A DOOZIE IF THIS IS THE LOOK ON THE PREDALIEN THEY DID NOT TAKE THIER TIME ON IT SOO HOPE FULLY THE MOVIE IS GOOD AND WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO PREDATOR 3 AND ALIEN 5?????
I gota say dat d alien mouth seems so fake now seriously, dey seem lik stiff plastic puppet thingies. Da old alien films were awesum! Da aliens mouth seems so REALL!!!! Nowadays da aliens seem so freakin fake jus look at da aliens mouth, so much OPEN gaps so FAKE!
