Yeah, as you’ve all seen by now, a Predalien Maquette has been making the rounds on countless movie sites. I guess somebody let the cat out of the bag. We found out about it way back in Dec 06 but was told not to post it.

Now, the directors didn’t use this maquette. The company, 3DCustomFoam, actually made it with the intent of working on AvP2. They showed it to ADI and they liked it apparently, but the company never heard back from ADI. Presumably because they already had their own idea/designs for the Predalien. That said, we were told a while ago, that this design is similar to the one they used in AvP2. That’s all I can say for now…

Is Colin okay with this?

i like it.  i wouldn't mind if that's what the creature looked like.  it IS just an alien with some pred characteristics, so it shouldnt look TOO predator.  i like how the body looks pretty much the same, just with the little spikes.

WOW that actualy looks quite good i thought i wudnt like the design of the predalien but that actualy looks great!!

I am very pleased.   It's going to be a great chance to scare the shit out of some people, seeing as it hasn't been on screen yet.

Intriguing!

Re: Hicks.  Well, as he said, 'tiss only fanart.

It´s quiet good, but I still don´t like the dreads on the hybrid and imo the leggs on this sculpture are a bit too short.

The dreads are perfect ones,at the back on the head only.You want the big dreads on all the head?

Looks cool, cant wait to see the real movie one   :o  

Champiionser: no, I don´t want it to have dread at all. I know it´s difficulty to get a decent Pred/Bug hybrid, but imo the dreads most time look a bit silly and without any logic. But what´s logic about AVP anyway?

I really like this design. I like its head too, its not Predator dreads, but actually part of the head itself. Pretty smart...    8)  

I feel sorry for them if this is the real one, I like the design but i bet they've been trying real hard to keep it under wraps   :'(     Maybe its another faker?!

If it is to have dreads than this is the best way for it to have dreads.  Better than just a normal alien skull with mandibles.  It wouldn't be that much like a predalien then.

I hope the mandibles dont stick out like that, its starting to remind me of avp.   :(  

I would be happy with this design, they didn't go to overboard with the dreads orPred features. There are a few little details I hope change, but overall I like tha it is thin completely ALIEN.

WOW looks great.

IT's design is similar?   Well THAT"S the pred-alien then...there you go.

Looks much better than in the games. COOL

Awesome design, i just hope it doesnt look too different in the movie.

Not bad... it's pretty nice looking.    :)   Hell, it could have been A LOT worse!

Looks too pumpkinghead-ish in my opinion. The movie one will look much better I think. Plus this ones way too skinny.  The predalien needs to be larger then life. Not ridiculously large, but pretty big.

I just hope it had a black colour to it. If it's brown at all, my faith in ADI will be gone.

My hope for it is to be black with a green tint.

i think design of the predalien looks great hope thats what it looks like in the film.

I know your threting about the Pred-Alien model Pvt.Hicks but trust in the brothers my boy    :)   its all going to be all good, BELIEVE ME. I LOVE THIS MODEL TO BITS    ;D    locusta - Don't think so much short BUT powerful. Considering that this is a Pred - Alien it needs to be bigger in every way. Its head, arms, thighs, carves. The postioning of the statue can also contribute to its size.  Highlandpred - The Design will look out of place because this is a NEW type of alien, nothing of the likes we have seen before, it will apear different no matter what.  THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE THE LICK    ;D     ;D   BRING IT ON

that thing looks cool and I think this should be approved   ;D   into AVP2 if not its because of the mandibles and the size of the alien.the mandibles are a little too big and the siz is the same size of a reg alien but if the mandibles were shorter and the size increase by 2 or 3 feet, we got a perfect predalien.   :)     ;D     8)  

nice sick   ;D  

I don't like how the mandibles are so open and far apart. They should be tighter and closer together. Maybe they will be...but this particular model just shows them all the way out stretched.

the arms are to large and to long i think and..the collour should be darker but for te rest it looks good. i mean if you look at the predalien itself as a design...its very well designd   ;D  

avpguy, Its a model, so how do we know it  is the same size as the regular alien? (It be big, believe)  Larger than the standard size alien Smaller than the Queen alien  But it SURE is going to be as menacing and as vicous as hell.  BRING IT ON ALREADY!

Why does the Predalien have dreadlocks? Human-bred Aliens aren't born with hair; neither are DogAliens born with fur.

Ermac, I reckon those dreadlocks are somehow part of its body, an almost additional skin factor, part of the predator much more unlike human hair.  I don't know, thats my 2 pence worth   :-\  

well its ok corporal hicks is right black will do it

I don't like the head, that's all I'm gonna say

What I love about THIS model is that it gives the creature an even more viseral feel, darker, grimer feel, the spikes give it a really savage look, no alien could stand up to this abmination of a creature.    ;D    And thats the thing the Pred-Alien will come across much more darker than any of us will even suspect, doubling on its natural nature of being a venomous creature as well as the top supreme hunter.  Alien vs Predator VS Pred-Alien ...  ... its on baby! the movie that will send 2007 with a bang

its avp2 and does everyone have to correct everyone.And first of all the predalien is on the aliens side since like the dog-alien, it has alien allegiance; not none and if you say crap about the newborn, its a genetic white chocolate crap and predalien is just an alien that has predator features.period.

Ermac, you're right when you say that the dog alien didn't have fur, but it did have a more dog like tail I think.  Wouldn't you agree?  Let's enjoy the hard work that went into this design, it's there to entertain us.  From an aesthetic point of view, I think that it has done that, and I really can't wait to see what the real deal looks like.

Damn, love to see that in the movie. That would be awesome     :)  

That's what it's gonna look like?

ok. I looked at the other images. It's ok. I guess. But it could be a bit...never mind. IT'S PERFECT!

  :'(   Only a fanart guys. Colin say here.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758730/board/thread/77574621?d=77582482&p=1#77582482

OK! You are all idiots. Of course it has dread locks. The dreads on a predator aren't hair. It's part of their skin.   Just because it looks short in the picture, doesn't mean it's gonna be as short as it looks.  It's not too skinny. It's perfect. If it's gonna look larger than the picture, than it's gonna be thicker.  The design in the picture is an unfinished design. So don't judge its color. It's gonna be black and the little stripes in the limbs are green. Glowing green like predator blood.  Have you ever seen how T-rex legs are shaped? Humans have two long bones in their legs, the predalien is like some dinos. Three long bones in their legs. So. The picture shown is the legs bent. If it unbends its legs it's gonna be tall.  HAPPY NOW!

QuoteOK! You are all idiots. Of course it has dread locks. The dreads on a predator aren't hair. It's part of their skin.

I didn't notice a penis flopping around in between the first Alien's legs. I didn't notice it having eyes, ears, or a nose. It didn't have our skin or our hair. Why should a PredAlien look any different?

Why shouldn't it?  It takes the best attributes of the host that it needs.  Obviously an alien won't need a penis, eyes, ears or nose as it's inherited abilities are superior.  We don't know what the mandibles are for - so maybe they confer an evolutionary advantage.

Oops - I meant dreads in that last sentence.

The Alien clearly operates perfectly fine with whatever comes standard; any way you cut it, the dreadlocks are unnecessary.

I know it looks awesome nbut there are some details on this maquette i do not like. The Predalien shouldn`t have dreads, it should have long hear. The dreads on the predator head is the first ritual a yautja gets. But they are born with wire hair.  Check out this picture of a predalien bust. I think the final predaalien should look more like this. Its more organic.  http://www.predatorstuff.com/gallery/images/3rd_eye_design/predalien_bust/predalien7ov5.jpg  Thank you. Goodnight, Good Fight!

That's a Predator with a slightly different head   ::)    It's an Alien, people. It should look like one. Not a damned Predator.

Its a Xenomorph, that means that the alien gets  the main characteristics its victim.

That design made me throw up in my mouth a little........lettttttttts just stick with one similar to  now.   ;D  

kinda resembles the  pumpkinhead bodystyle, but yet again the aliens body style as well. f**k it pumpkin head sucks this is cooler.

PREDALIENFREAK you are soo right   ;)  

So is Giger not designing it?   ???  

Giger has had nothing to do with the Alien films since Alien3. He didn't have anything to do with 'Aliens', either.

sil can you keep talking!

How will this thing  kill all the predators on the predator ship after AvP ended..thats what i wanna know

THAT PROBABLY WONT EVEN HAPPEN, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT DIRECTION THE STORY WILL TAKE

I think its possible for the predalien to kill the predators on the predator ship..i mean the predators had no idea that scar was impregnated so the predalien could jst go around the ship piking them off 1 by ,myt be difficult with that many predators bt its possible isnt it?   :-\  

Ermac: If it has them, then we ca n assume that the dreadlocks on Predators are not actually hair, but something else. I always had the impression they were more like sensory tendrils, in any case. Aliens have dorsal tubes from human beings but not from canines (for whatever reason).  That could be the same.  And what's all this about nobody wanting the mouth wide? It's in a threatening posture! Predators always splay their jaws wide when they're like that. The first film had it do so very shortly after removing the helm and the second one had it doing so virtually all the time.

QuoteIf it has them, then we ca n assume that the dreadlocks on Predators are not actually hair, but something else

Not really. The first Alien had a human face underneath the dome, but the other human-born Aliens didn't. We can always pass it off as a freak occurance   ;)  

true

Or just Artistic expression. I don't think science has had a lot to do with prior designs. But it would be nice if a filmaker would take that into acount.   I would rather an illustrated book to explain all the scientific explanations for the Aliens differences than have them try to explain it in the movie. They could explore to ridged head to what an Alien takes from the host.   Putting it in the movie would waste time. The movie just has to keep with continuity.

looks very good

I like the way the predalien looks in the back. The way the back is makes it look a bit like the preds. Definatly shows you its a hybrid, not too much like the pred but in some ways similar. Thats how it should be.   ;D  

QuoteAnd what's all this about nobody wanting the mouth wide? It's in a threatening posture! Predators always splay their jaws wide when they're like that. The first film had it do so very shortly after removing the helm and the second one had it doing so virtually all the time.  

Dude, if the jaws spread out so wide like that, first of all, it makes it look like crap, second of all, it makes it seem like its not part of the mouth at all. Thats one reason why scar looked like shit. Also why he was too human like. It looked like the inner mouth was the only mouth and the mandibles were too far apart so it looks like they weren't even there.   The predator in part one didn't have the mandibles to far apart but not too closed either, making it seem like that was its only mouth, then to your amazment, you see another mouth in there. That gives you a sign that this f*cker is definatly from another world. You see what Im trying to say? I hope so because this is the best way I can explain it.

i approve of the fan design & do hope the film version is similar... alsong as they stick to it being more alien looking than pred... it shouldn't really have a dreaded head, should be smooth or ridge like in aliens but looks cool so cant complain. i think the hands wil change tho due to the fact it has six digits (with the 4 middle ones joined joined in pairs) where as the 'preview' image of avp2 shows it only has 4 fingers. i think the best alien design is alien 3, the arms/hands in avp were way too big. anyways dont know im making a big deal outta 'digits' & arms. i wanna see the 'super/queen' facehugger already!    :o  

I, myself, have no issues with the design. Everyone is giving their oppinion as to what it should look like, but as the original post explained, the movie will use a Pred-Alien with a similar design. There really is no need to judge anything about this movie until we see actual movie footage. There are too many people bashing this movie before the movie has been seen.  If Anderson was making this movie also, then hell yeah, there would be good reason to put this movie down before it is seen. We will get our first look of the movie at the end of July. I believe the Brothers have done a first-rate job so far. I also believe they will not disappoint us with any of the designs. It's rated "Hard R" and will be filled with lots of action. The Predator looks has the look of the original and I believe they will explain why the aliens have a ridged head. As for the Pred-Alien, if the Brothers stick to the roots of each series, as they have said they are, then it may be such a very good creation to make a stand alone movie.

Predboy: That doesn't change the fact that all previous films had them splaying their jaws massively wide when they wanted to be threatening. :)  SiL: I know it's in production pictures, but I can honestly say that when I watch 'Alien', I have never noticed the skull which is supposedly in it. Nobody I know ever has done, except when they see it in books and so on. It's shrouded enough to safely be ignored.  In any case, the others might well have it, we just never see them lit up well enough to know about that. :)

There's nothing 'supposedly' about it. It's most noticeable when Ripley blows it out the airlock. Freeze frame it. You may not notice it a lot, but that doesn't mean it can just be ignored   ::)  

Xenomorphine: Doesn't change the fact that the ones in the originals didn't have their jaws so wide apart making it look completly retarded like the one in avp.

I like it

So, do you think that it's going to be a different color in the movie? Cause just plan old brown is just wrong.

I could so draw that

THIS isn't the final look of the predator but they ADI say "its close to their designs".   ;D    I have a pridiction, THE TEASR TRAILER HOPFULLY WILL BE OUT AROUND THE END OF THIS WEEK, am only guessing or into the peak of next week with the coming Die hard movie coming out (at least in the UK anyways).

The teaser trailer for AVP2 will Not be out at the end of this week, or at anytime next week. The teaser for AvP2 will premiere at the San Diego Comic Convention Thu, July 26 - Sun, July 29.

Predboy, yes they did. Look at when the first one roars after the helm is removed. Or how the other is almsot permanently showing them wide apart when it's advancing on its fallen prey in the slaughterhouse place.  SiL: Yes, it's vaguely there when I've seen it in produciton stills, but never anywhere else and yes, I have tried. :)  I put it in the same category as seeing the foot when Frost gets incinerated and falls down the shaft, the rest of Bishop's body in the hole, or the apparent change in the number of fingers the creature has or the third film switching between different configurations of legs. It's there, but nobody notices enough for it to matter in any way.

That's a really piss poor category to put it in, considering all the other things were mistakes. The human face was very much intended. Comparing it to genuine errors is ridiculous.   :-\  

Xenomorphine: No the original ones didn't look like the one in avp did. The mandibles were stretched so far apart, they nearly covered the entire face in avp. The ones in the originals didn't. They stretched their mandibles out obviously, but it didn't seem like it was covering their entire face. The mandibles for avp were stretched far back, like the way you see the predalien here. If you look at the one from the original, he didn't have his mandibles strectched out so far like that. Watch predator and you'll see.   ;)  

Oh yeah, another thing, the way scar had his upper mandibles streched more up, also made him look like shit, something the original predator didn't have.   ;)  

If this is in the film there is goin to be some gory action

  :P   you can only pray to god there will be..

i'd like to see this thing get F***ing annihilated by a predators spear or wrist blades   :)  

This thing would mosdef rip apart a normal alien drone no problem.   ;D    Now THAT i would love to see.

It's okay. Ideally, the pred-alien should look more like an alien and less like a predator in the same ratio an alien which gestated within a human looks like a human.  I prefer the pred-alien design in the link below, but I'm still not too wild about the "dreadlocks". It's the best design I've scene yet, imo.  http://www.planetavp.com/newsimages/predalien.shtml

i just hope the design they used is like the first predalien ever seen similiar to this design but its tail was like wristblades thats just bad ass

God i love this site im starting to hate planetavp there forums dont alow board gueston there no more they real f**ked it up  the pred alien will kick ass  i almost forgot about this site i dont know if i got hit in the head or sumthin i knew it came back online after 3 years but i dont know why i forgot about it all of a sudden

thats cool

Predator will still kick its ass.   ;D  

  :)   the design i great

F**k, that thing's complex, better than what I expected but still a little out there.          TOOL Forever...

That prealien design is so amazing! If I was older and taller I would want to go in that suite! Cant wait to see the real verison in AVP2!!!!   ;D  

I looked at the images and i like how they didn't make it too much like the predator cause if you think about it its just a alien that as more speed and strength than a normal one

meesa muy muy liken...     :D    i hope this is what it looks like in the film

The pro has come to comment dis. Firstly dis looks nice but make da alien's skull longer, 2nd lesser dreadlocks(too much) n da mandibles pls make it more closed up! n lastly da hairs around d aliens look nice. So far it looks like a 7.8/10

They will make the predalien have dreads more than likely..Greg/Colin said that design is similar to the predalien theyve designed..I think it will be thicker liked pred said and have a greenish tint and dreads because it makes it look better.Who cares about its traits.And who are any of you to say what traits it should take on.IF THATS THE CASE YOU WOULD BE DIRECTING THE MOVIE NOW WOULDNT YOU...   ;D     ;D     ;D     ;D  

  :D   HA,HA,HAAAAA!!!!!! tHAT THING IS THE BEST THEY COULD COME UP WITH WITH!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!!   :-[     ::)     >:(
