Where do you see  mouth and teeths in that final design?
Nowhere. The '79 Jockey had them.

ALIEN ISNT CANNON!    ...lol.

Thats what i tought you were aiming at :)
Well my take on this is simple.
You can already see big differences between the fuctionnal helmet and the one of the severed head.
The functionnal has more "flesh", the severed is dried, more skeletal, its dead.
The one from ALIEN is dead too, what you call a mouth is the front end of helmet that connects with the hose, the teeth could be the mechanisms inside that can be seen once the helmet is dead.
I guess this is what Scott goes for and i don't see it retconning design wise the one from ALIEN ;)

Mechanisms that look precisely like teeth? Yeahhh...
Not to mention having a fissure like that kind of defeats the purpose of a suit of protecting what is inside. Why should even a 'front-end' that connects like that to the breathing hose, which is what makes the guy breathe?

Just in case there is any doubt as to whether the Giger art of the 'alien hands' clasped around an 'alien egg' is Prometheus canon, check the following ampule room mural comparison shot:



A point of note worth mentioning here is that the 'alien hands' clasped around the egg have the distinctive webbed six fingers of the familiar xeno. But the proto-goblin-alien thing at the end of Prometheus appears to only have 5 fingers?

Not 100% sure if that's a definite match, but certainly looks like it... If it's the same thing, it's in-movie that these things shouldn't be counted as part of the Alien's history. More like an 'Alien Resurrection'-like genetic off-shoot (if they're even related).

Thank you, Giger! ;D

That mural is definitely the same. We were all saying those were Alien hands back in March when the trailer debuted.

And f**k "trilobite"--we shall call it the STARBEAST per ShadowPred's suggestion. 8)
