Not to mention way over the top, androids don't have dna or anything truly organic in them, they are synthetic and Aliens can't use them as hosts nor should they be able to.
The only notable exception was the meat construct that was Elden but he was built using actual organic parts which allowed the Black Goo to mutate him.
Androids don't but we know how David likes to play God. Aliens can't use them as hosts, but given how Ridley did start the entire series, i wouldn't put anything past him at this point. I think at this point too, we can say that Shaw helped created the first version of the Alien egg due to Davids experiments. How i see it
David experiments on Shaw, > Creates first egg based on human female ovary system (Hense egg) Hense more organic alien, (Still with traits of Alien) later on, proceeds to play god even more, injects more of his android traits/DNA into alien, thus Bio-mechanic Alien we have there after in. that's just my personal theory.. Nothing canon or anything that's just how i see it right now. By the time the 3rd movie comes along, we should have a more complete time-line as to the alien and Derelict (i hope)
Or. Basic theory that the Aliens were made from the get go to be used as a bio-mechanic weapon. Who knows, i still like the mystery of that part of the alien.
