My argument is that we don't know if this is how he planned on all of the aliens looking or if this was supposed to be an individual that was on its way to becoming a queen. If we find something out that contradicts that then I'll probably change my opinion on the design.
The A5 design makes more sense than the protomorph looking as fleshy as it does, or the fact that its chest burster...comes out as just a miniaturized...version of it's adult self....god I hate that scene.
I do actually like the way the face huggers looked in Covenant, just not the whole gestation time issue.
Protoqueen was also the first thing i thought about when i saw it. But its literally just the arms on an orherwise unchanged Alien. Sure we don't know if the second set is the first thing an alien changes on his way to queendom, but for me it does not look like a queen to be.
And while the chestburster scene was a little wacky, no two bursters looked ever the same. The runner in A3 was a miniature version of the adult and the queen in A3 had arms and legs if i remember it right. And the gastation time always seemed pretty random.
