If an alien can secrete goo which turns someone into an egg, maybe a facehugger can moult into a super facehugger when it's away from the hive.
The drama in Alien 3 hinges on the fact that the Alien is an existential threat to human civilization
and the alien in it spent the whole movie occasionally eating people for a few days
and just waiting for Ripley to "pop open".
Limiting their reproductive capabilities like that felt.. kinda weak...
as far as depicting a believable "existential threat"
(hell, the alien even needs to be deus ex-machina'd out of a trap at one point)
So, at least a few prisoners should've been eggmorphed at some point.
