I like the way they tied in a Lasershot Predator reference, hopefully it's a tease that he's coming down the line in the next Kenner homage wave or maybe another deluxe release like the upcoming Clan Leader.

Interesting that NECA's made the backstory official that the sculptor of the Battle Armor Lost Predator made up back in the day: Review > Battle Armor Lost Predator (Predator 2, NECA) – w/ Sculptors’ Commentary! : PoeGhostal.com

The targeting beam is still obviously what actually marks the target, it functions in the same way as having a laser sight on a real gun assists aiming, but yeah the actual means of firing are still ultimately elusive. The "mental control" theory is the only way to account for Greyback though...

NECA is doing a fantastic job with these bios. I would love to see a comic book series or two dedicated to these concepts. They are very interesting.

I love this bio. R’Zor may be an amalgamation of previous ideas if he happens Quote:
R'ZOR "SPACE MARINE" PREDATOR (Kenner)
Lastly in the SPACE MARINES corner we have the unproduced R-Zor Marine who's armor and look resembles that of a PREDATOR. He went by a few other working names including Q-zor, R-zor Warrior and Razor Marine. He was to come with snap on dual arm blades (one set for each arm) and a strange looking handheld weapon. Some packaged samples have been sold to collectors of RZOR and the NIGHT RECON PREDATOR figures, but they were simply put on existing ALIENS blister cards. THE HISTORY OF UNPRODUCED ALIEN AND PREDATOR TOYS As a side note, Kenner had an 'Ultimate Predator', but I'd need to research that...

I hope they keep "R'zor" as a human soldier in Predator-looking armour...

Yeah, I like the idea of humans wearing the armour - it's all throughout the canon one way or another.

Cool that they made Stalker the first predator that doesn't really hunt for sport and they tossed in an explanation for the glow in the dark gimmick. This does not explain how he got an alien head for his armor, did he trade for it?

Why would they need to glow for location purposes when Yautjas see in thermal? Erm.... Doesn't explain the human skulls on his armor either. Smh. That bio stinks, but truthfully, I probably could not do any better myself...lol. I would have made him a solitary cave dweller who glows as an intimidation or distraction tactic to lure in prey in the dark, like an Angler fish. But that's why they call us nerds I guess....*shrugs shoulders... Last edited by Trivial Psychic; 09-14-2016 at 01:13 PM.. |

Well, there were those blind white Xenos in Colonial Marines that lived in dark places and walked around like T Rexes, exploding when you got too close. Perhaps his clan created/captured them for sport and maybe he killed a couple of those?...

Like those ghouls in Fallout that glow, y'know, the "glowing ones."

Gotta say, at first read it seems a remarkably specific bio that still doesn't make much sense. Though the artwork is good at least.
Wait, are the Preds cold-blooded?

I've always assumed that they were warm blooded creatures, due to their humanoid nature. Although they tend to hunt in hot and humid zones, they seem to navigate the tundra just as easily (like in AVP) Which would definitely not be ideal for them if they were cold blooded.

Due to the glowing green blood, I'd say they're probably neither, at leas not in the sence we understand. Heck the blood looks more like phosphorus laden chloraphil than traditional blood... Maybe preds are evolved from plants?

The answer to these questions is that there is no answer. There's no telling what writers take into account when they make new comics and movies for this series. Personally, half the fun (for me) is to make up your own story.

I am really bothered by Stalker's weapons though.1 extended and 2 retracted spears seem pretty basic.I mean come on NECA could have given us new weapons we have yet to see on a predator,since this one is from a different kind of clan and subspecies than usual

Love these bios. Would be fun if NECA created an entirely new, original Predator character once in a while like Viper...
