^This. Some of my favorite parts of Predator: FaS were when we saw Ahab hunting different aliens. A whole prequel series about him hunting on different planets in search of the Engineers would be amazing.
One of the best things Predator 2 did was show us that the Predators hunted more than just humans - and Aliens. We only ever really got glimpses of that in the various media. Whilst my over all opinion of the Fire and Stone series was a little disappointed, I absolutely loved the Predator series and I loved seeing them hunt things that weren't human.
There's only so long that the Predator hunting humans or Aliens can be interesting. As I constantly say, the galaxy doesn't need to be teeming with life but it could do with one or 2 other species to add some variety and keep things fresh. It others don't want to see it, that's fine - I'm happy they're keeping me happy with things like Ahab and the Engineer.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts. I don't mind one or two new races, the Arcturians would be a very nice addition and lots can be explored on them, as well as the Dog-Aliens.
It can still be thrown around that we've encountered "loads", but not all of them have to appear. Just flesh out one or two more, but leave the rest to be hunted by Predators in some cool short story or something. It leaves room for very creative designs and cultures.
The best thing with AvP franchise is that all the aliens have a language and culture, literally. No silly universal translator in some first encounter scenario, it's all seems to be some exciting yet a bit awkward first encounter.

Would have liked more of a battle of wits between Ahab and Baldy...the burly brawl was a bit silly
I'd love to see some battle of wits in Predator Life and Death, maybe the Engineers might appear and use technology to repel both humans and Yautja.

Me too. That was my only issue with the series really.
Yeah...just imagine Ahab employing tactical acumen to minimise the Engineer's incredible strength/durability, rather than playing to the Engineer's strengths. Ahab should've been crafty
Imagine a reverse Dutch scenario, where the Predator crafts traps for the Engineer, where he realizes "holy crap, this prey is too deadly to face one on one" and starts being a proper hunter than a warrior, intent on claiming that trophy through tactical thinking rather than chest pounding pride.
