Aliens: An Analysis

[Engineer]

"Tracker bracelets" lol
The PDTs were surgically implanted

I love that scanning drone.

IIRC Cameron paid out of his own pocket for it. What a legend

[Necronomicon II]

Yeah, it's a nice visual callback to the tracking device Ripley's carrying into the storage locker room too —

They re-used that scanner in season 3 of the mandalorian

At least the blue laser part, yea

Yeah that was a blatant member-berry.

Did they kitbash or greeble it in any ways that would make it hard to recognize?

I honestly don't know lol
I am a filthy-casual when it comes to Star Wars and didn't pay that close attention. I just remember seeing the blue laser and thinking "they got that straight out of aliens!"

D'oh! I thought you were referring to the tracker in Alien and Aliens for some reason, but you meant the scanner drone/bot that goes into the shuttle before the salvage team does.

Is there armor in the Aliens verse that would be resistant to the acidic blood of Xenomorphs? I am thinking of MJOLINER armor for the colonial marines.

An upgrade in Dark Descent gives you acid resistant armour, it also features in Into Charybdis.

There were in some EU materials...
Aliens Genocide is the first thing that comes to mind...

From what Aliens shows, water was around the facehuggers in the tubes, does water neutralize the acid? If so it would be neat if there was Engineer armor with an James Cameron's Abyss water effect around the armor.

Drone sequence:

Tech could have been used to investigate the colony, together with simpler versions of the synth, and even some that can as serve platforms for firearms.

It's more difficult for acid-resistant armor because it's assumed that they didn't recover anything about aliens and tech from the first movie, not even Ash's data which could have been transmitted.
