There might have been different vehicles on board... but why even have a vehicle that’s only designed for such a narrow area of operations when a vehicle that can do the country can roll on a city street just as well or not better? That design isn’t even good for an urban vehicle. Go google some pictures of the Syrian civil war and have a look at the amount of debris on those roads. This thing is gonna get stuck on the first rock or pothole it encounters, and if it can get over it it’s gonna get high centered when it hits that dead zone between the front and back wheels.
It’s a cool looking, classic design, a cross between a trans am and a tank and I love it. It’s shitty from a practical perspective, full stop. Easy.... The androids are programmed against violence. Bishop wouldn’t even take a gun with him when he went in the tunnel to fix the antennae.

Bishop states it plainly in the movie, and then demonstrates the behavior. He could be lying, I suppose, but it’s there in the movie there’s nothing to contradict it.

Agreed with the previous comment. There could have been a better people mover on board, but it may not have a command section AND by the time it became needed, they had bigger issues to deal with than ground clearance. |

It would be silly to think the roads were paved or at least perfect enough between the Atmo center to Hadleys for a low slung GOV with no ability to raise or lower suspension. The tech manual, retcon or not confirms this.
We don’t see the marines pee in the movie, so I guess they don’t go to bathroom ever. That’s the type of reasoning some are using here. I don’t need everything spoon feed to me, I had always assumed there must be a way to raise or lower via suspension. |

Hey guys, anybody know which of the various hiya aliens are closest in appearance to the aliens (second movie) version. I know they did a aliens version but seems hard to find/expensive.

They will be releasing an updated Aliens version xeno in 3 variations sometime this year: a brown, a blue, and a crouching version. They look to be better sculpted and should have an updated buck compared to the last one that came out a few years ago.

So ASH in "ALIEN" was not the only Android that became a RED FLAG against WY. As the Nostromo never made it back being Self destructed by Ripley. So to quash law suits WY would have instilled the Protect feature to stop WY possibly suffering major lawsuits and competition taking advantage of this to quash them. Plus it was Not till after "ALIENS" WY started to realise the potential of an Android vs Xeno situation as a Winning situation. Yes the comics approached this topic. As for the APC, I Honestly do Not see why have major bee's in their bonnets over this design. A, It is a Film. B, It is in the Future and C, We Never truly saw the Full potential of the vehicle. Your bitching about it's boxy shape. Hell have you seen the Humvee. When that first rolled into Europe it was so funny watching them trying to navigate European streets. However The US kept them and kept making variants. Least the M577 APC in "ALIENS" seems to be able to withstand a pounding, run through acid with no issues. As Ripley is Not Military, she will Not have known the APC had a Lift Hydraulics to Raise, thus destroyed the chassis which was set on Low due to entering the Reactor complex. It Is great to pick fun at Modern stuff and make it more accountable but come on guys, this is Set so far in the future. Who the hell knows what we will see. With this level of hostility in this TOY thread, seems more some know they cannot have One so are going out of their way to besmirch anyone getting one. If your truly dead against it as a design piece for the film, send Cameron an email or strongly written letter or Start a FILM thread to attack the design. This thread is moreso about the TOYS of the franchise. |
