But this picture is badass though.

Exactly, can Aliens do these?

Or make explosions the size of countries/continents?

There's a reason Predator youngsters hunt Aliens as a rite of passage.

I love how Aliens are treated as a civilization ending threat, but they've never managed to end human or Predator civilization. They even infested Earth and still failed to wipe us out, also we took Earth back.

If Yautja or Hish wanted to, they could wipe us out. I remember hearing the Hish-qu-Ten had a ship weapon that could wipe out all life on a planet. Yautja in Rage Wars kick Alien ass so hard once they're ready for it.

Clearly the predator with technology will always trump a wild beast. Humans are a prime example of this in real life compared to anything else that could threaten us individually, could never do so as a species because we're better with our tools.

The main reasons Aliens are so widespread and successful are:

1: They spread fast and come in large numbers.

2: Other species spread them around, mostly the better predators (aka Predators  :P) are to blame for this due to their seeding of worlds for hunts.

3: They're an invasive species. Look on Earth, more often than not, an invasive species proves to be disastrous to native local life. (And this species still couldn't wipe us out when invading Earth, so it kinda puts their "deadliness" into question compared to us. Even WE are better "predators" due to our tools and intelligence.)

One thing that really bumps Aliens down is that they're constantly outsmarted and beaten by one human female. I think Ripley's overestimating them. XD

At least the Predators didn't suffer such humiliation, they face a variety of opponents, kill tons and lose to a badass.  :P

Honestly, Aliens in the Rage War are the deadliest version of the Xenomorph I have ever scene.

Why?

Because they're guided by better, smarter, tool using predators!  :)

Since mentioning these Predator stats, Warhammer 40K here and another thread you opened up, I am curious to see an Predator vs Ork battle, 1v1 or a squad, or even an army fight, really damm curious to see. Preds want to hunt the most deadliest beings ever, Orks want to fight in general, especially ones that can put up a good one.

I'd love to see that too! The Predators would absolutely love the Orks for being so deadly and numerous.

Your forum name reminded me of another battle I always wanted to see.

Predator going against Turok, the Valiant Comics Turok would be an interesting opponent.

Also Tal'Set, my favourite of the Turoks.  ;D

I think Joseph Turok from the 2008 game would make an interesting opponent, being deadly with a knife. That's be the knife fight of my dreams.

Predators collecting Ork skulls, and Orks collecting dat shiny mask bitz!

Yo Turok is still the main man! I love Valiant Comics Turok, a man out of his time trying to fit in while avoiding bionosaurs,monsters, alien creatures, and hostile poachers like the Longhunter. I adored what Dark Horse was doing with Turok and got pissed when Dark Horse had to cancel thier Turok comic line. The Dynamite Comics line of Turok is okish, but i prefer what has going on with what Dark Horse had.

Praise Tal'Set! If I'm correct, I think Valiant mentioned that Tal'Set is the name of Turok from thier comic line, hence why Acclaim gave the title to Tal'Set "The Valiant One" as Joshua Fireseed's title is "The Coyote Knight", as a respectful nod. I have to look it up in the comics again, I remember it was mentioned at the end of the pages on one of the Acclaim Turok comics.

Funny enough, back in 00s, like what, 2005, I always thought up of a crossover Turok: Aliens vs Predator would be something neat! And seeing how when Dark Horse had all three at the time, man I was sweating hard for such a dream come true.... f**kin corporate meddling....

They just couldn't let Dark Horse do their thing, nope.

Turok 2 cancelled too...man will they give Joseph or even the Turok series a break?

Da Ork Boyz would also like dem shiny flashy shouldah gunz!

So that's why Tal'Set was called the "Valiant One"? Wow! The more you know. I heard they were gonna make a sequel to Turok Evolution, but that too was cancelled sadly. I would've loved to have faced the Slegs and Lord Tyrannus once more. I have a fond memory where during that second level of Chapter 3, right after you kill your first T. rex, you go down this valley and kill some Slegs. Then as you go down the river and reach a waterfall, there's a bridge in the distance and Sleg snipers firing down on you.

My dad aimed down the scope of the Tek Bow, trying to shoot one, but he started to hop left, then right, then right and left etc, as if avoiding my dad's shots. My dad praised his intelligence.

You mentioning those variety of enemies like bionosaurs, that's another thing I seriously love about the Turok franchise, the sheer uniqueness of the creatures in it. Cyborg dinos and reptillian humanoids, not to mention eldritch abominations!

Ah man, a crossover with Alien and Predator would've been so perfect. I think both of these alien would fit so well in the Lost Land. Aliens would be able to carve out a niche in the ecology while the Predators would have a blast hunting things. XD Have you read Tarzan vs Predator? It's kind of the closest we'd get to Turok vs Predator. I loved the panel where a Yautja jumps on the back of a T. rex and kills it with a quick slice of his wrist blades to a sensitive area. Turok would likely be as resourceful as Tarzan when dealing with a Predator.

Yeah, that sucks too that the sequel to the 2008 game got cancelled. Joseph was a super badass native american space marine who needs a sequel! I remember reading a bit about a proposed sequel set in a desert and had an armoured T. rex.

Man it seems like you guys really wanna see some hot Predator action; hunting everything else in the universe action. So how come it's only Aliens vs Predator that has made it to the movies? Would having the Predator in another cross over hurt the franchise or not? What I mean by this is that because of all interests involved, it seems every battle always ends is a tie no matter the Predators opponent. Would it boil down to a simple coin flip who wins the battle?

I think the action genre could use a non-human entity and the Predator does fit the bill.

I'd love to see the Predator face some more non-human entities as well. Preferably in grounded sci fi settings. But I wouldn't mind one against Klingons or Hirogen (aka Star Trek's Predators) it'd be a cool match up.

In the Alien verse, I wanna see it fight an Engineer on screen!

There's a Predator mod for Skyrim called 'Predators - The Lost Tribes' and there's a necklace with Klingon skulls on it.

I really enjoyed the videos I've seen of it. Have you seen the Oblivion Predator mod?

Alien's are the greater threat overall and are more "predatory" by nature. . They just keep killing and multiplying until there is nothing left. They don't know when to stop.  It takes a nuke to stop them.

As for Predators, they are not as big a threat. I mean, they are still dangerous, obviously, but they don't go around wiping out entire species. Its not in their nature. In fact they will go out of their way to ensure that they DON'T kill children or pregnant women. Their culture prevents it I guess. 

The Alien Predator

Hence why Predators are the "better" predators.

Think about it, what happens when you wipe out all your prey? What will you eat, or use to reproduce?

Whereas with the Predators, they always ensure they have more things to hunt. They are in the most literal sense, predatory. Their prey (Aliens and humans) outnumber them just like caribou outnumber wolves and zebra outnumber lions.

Aliens are the better "invasive species" because they overrun new ecosystems not used to them, like rabbits did to New Zealand.

Being a predator isn't about how much prey you can wipe out, it's ensuring you stil have things to prey upon. And Aliens have never wiped out humans or Yautja, they even overran Earth and we still took it back in the older comics and novels.

Aliens are only truly deadly when controlled by someone sapient like us, Engineers or Predators. The Rage War trilogy makes them a genuine threat due to their masters being a rogue faction of mankind. It also showed that Aliens are deadliest only when they have the element of surprise, but once that's gone and technological species are ready for them, their threat goes down rapidly.
