"why the Preds wore the extra armor. It wasn't because of the cold,"
no, it was because Paul Anderson was trying to say predators like the preds in the original films weren't good enough to fight aliens, they needed more armor, and bigger weapons, he says so right in the docs, and its pathetic, he pretty much shits on the original predators, and I'm happy, that for whatever reason, that this predator has a more bare chest, and less armor on the arms and overall, because thats how the original predators were.
also, that is a picture taken of those two creatures in between takes on what was probably an action scene, that was probably a stunt suit of lesser quality for the alien, meaning the details didn't need to be perfect, or maybe, they had some bad luck, and the water weighed down the back tubes.
and personally, I'd rather judge footage of these creatures from the films, as opposed to screen shots, we have a trailer, no reason to judge off of screenshots, your living in 5 months ago if your doing that.
and the footage of both of these creatures looks great in the trailer, so I'm not comlaining about how off some of the production stills are...
