In aliens they ran on all two legs most of the time.
They never run on two legs in Aliens. They crawl, walk, or when they want to move quickly, they leap. The fastest Aliens we see in the movie are all using four limbs -- the Aliens in the vents, the Alien that gets to the elevator when Hicks and Ripley are leaving, and the Aliens leaping off the walls towards Ripley in the hive.
Those circumstances actually required crawling though, the vents are not that big and any movement on walls and ceilings would require all their limbs. That being said, you are right in that there is no outright running, but you do see what we getting at right?
Yep! We saw big chap crawling on all four in the airducts when Dallas was trying to hunt it, if it cant stand then it will go on all four, and same for when climbing. Tons of photos of the warrior and behind the scenes where we see them run/stand on bipeds and not on all four, although they can, no doubt about that. We also see the dog alien stand on two, like when it attacks clemens and lifts him up in the air 2 meters up and headbiting him, or when in the piston chase, standing on two and screams at one prisoner at the same height, and then you see it also turn around and chase after one on two legs, but its normal stance is on all four, after all it came from a dog/ox and has the legs designed for it. While the warrior and drones have normal human legs that makes it design wise tough and exhausting to walk on all four for long times.
From the book: the book of alien, usmc version of weyland yutani report:
Page 96: Warriors are bipedal creatures and can move on all four if needed and will do so when climbing or walking on the ceiling.
Page 110: Dog alien/runner moves differently from the others, mainly on all four, and has been proven to be able to spit acid.
Page 116: drones/workers sheed their dome as they age and gets the warriors ridged heads.
Page 119: Drones/workers can spit acid.
Page 145: Warriors: a bipedal xenomrph, around same height as a drone. Drone: a bipedal xenomorph. Alien runner/dog alien: a quadripodal xenomorph.
From weyland yutani report book:
Page 24: Dog alien/runner is a quadripodal xenomorph unlike its human hosted bipedal cousins.
Page 20: the creatures limb development depends on the hosts design as the xeno creature adapts to the hosts enviroment. (Later on its shown they take memory and inteligence from the host as well).
Dont find the alien funny when running on two, the xenomorph in isolation did that a lot and was scary as hell when it did and it was a drone, only difference in overall to the warrior would be the dome, else a warrior would look pretty much the same when running:
https://youtu.be/UMSaaHX3uTY?t=319But enough about this, the point is: would be nice to see the warrior and drones to walk and at times run on their two legs like in isolation and not only moving on all four at all times, preferably they chose stance and movement type depending on what is safest and makes it hardest to kill them
