Predators... If you took the one Predator from the first film and put him on a ship or planet filled with Aliens, the Aliens would totally lose. If you read the Predator 2 novel, the Predators actually consider humans their most dangerous adversary because they're so unpredictable. Behavior of the Xenomorphs, regardless of how stealthy is undeniably predictable.

Lets look at this as if the pred was experienced.
A planet? No way in hell. A single pred cannot take on several thousand to several million aliens and get out alive. It just doesn't happen. Even one hundred to several hundred could get the job done.
A ship like say, Sulaco sized which would contain about 50? Much less of a stretch. But if anywhere from 15 to all of them come at the pred at once, our hunter is in serious shit no matter how many trophies it has.

I shall compose a speech about the dangers of Anti Xenotism.

So I indulged in extreme Hyperbole... It's alright.

Well if 3 preds can't take out 1 hive then I'm guessing 1 would be terminated in minutes  :D (meaning, agreed)

I know but the first one should have focused more around him (I'm pretty sure his mum would have mentioned that)

Ha! No ish. Fear certainly blinds the mind's eye in humans.

Aliens are nothing without a host.

Well it can be said that Predators are nothing without their weapons & artificial enhancements. A Predator with no mask, or armor would have a hard time fighting off a facehugger, let alone a full grown alien. Even if the Predator manages to kill an alien barehanded, he would most certainly die because of the acid blood.

A Facehugger would be harder to kill than a full grown Alien.

He could just choke it or crush its neck like when scar grabs the chestburster when it...Emerges in AvP (I think he crushed it)

If its neck was that weak, it would have snapped when they slammed their craniums into the steel doors of the med lab long before they started to dent.
As that is not the case and the doors were destroyed, I think it is safe to assume that the necks of adult xenomorphs are pretty durable to pressure.

The predator could get angry and turn into the hulk  :laugh:
