Now that we have seen the Predalien's full look we see that the aliens take on the looks of there hosts somewhat-or I guess everybody knows that.

Anyway I think the runner could have had a different design. I mean come on. It looked like a regular human alien without spines and that walked on four feet. I feel this alien had very little effort put into it.

Example of his looks he should have had-Small Hairs, slightly different snout.

Does anybody agree with me.

The Alien is not a Kenner's toy. By your logic, a human-hosted Alien should come out with a shortened head, a full set of hair, and a penis.

This is a render of his Alien 3 design, third image going down. You'll notice he didn't give it a snout, amongst other arbitrary things:

No the PredAlien shouldn't have looked like a complete pile of wank.

I think that David Fincher wanted a biomechanoid sphinx, well he wanted a feline body and he wanted a woman's lips like Michelle Pfeiffer .  I can't comment on what he got in the final movie.

I think this looks good to me. Abit better than the Alien 3 Runner:

Neukku

I think that it looks fine :)

Let the designs fight! H.R Gigers design looks more mechanical.

The Chibi Kiriyama

Giger's is more biomechanical, but I can't fault ADI. They tried to get the "freight train meets a jaguar" look Fincher wanted and to stay true to Giger's artwork for the Alien. I don't even feel the two are really comparable. One is with the intent of making a dog-hosted Alien. The other seems to be Giger focusing on ways to make "Original Alien, take 2."

I think the Dog/ox alien looked fine, the predalien is whats messed up.

The Chibi Kiriyama

The Predalien...so much effort for such a huge failure. It's the Newborn all over again.

Eidotemit

ha, I don't know if its that bad, but its pretty damn bad.

Xhan

I would say it is actually worse being that the NewBorn was just that; something right out of leftfield in a dark french surrealistic space comedy. As opposed to the PredAlien, which ALREADY HAD DESIGN AND THEMATICS in place before this ... monstrosity was designed and puked forth.

SM

Yeah I agree.  It's a lot worse than the Newborn.  At least that had an excsue for looking like an abomination.

Wildbird

Runner looks awesome as hell. Great design.
