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

Unless, y'know, he just happened to have taken his mask off for that one moment.

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.

Thanks for that!

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.

Sounds like the Marine/Predator-style armour version of the Marine/Alien-style armour character Atax. And this is where that quote came from; make sure you read it, I don't think the Kenner Predator re-dos will be ending any time soon if R'Zor IS actually being used as inspiration.

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.

NECA Stalker Predator Card Back and Bio - The Toyark - News

[En Sabah Nerd]

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?

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?...

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...

We don't talk about Colonial Marines here...

I'd have figured he was gonna have a bio where he got exposed to freakish amounts of radiation and became a glowing freak. Like those ghouls in Fallout that glow, y'know, the "glowing ones."

Haha...I was being facetious when I mentioned the T Rex Xenos...just pointing out how bizarre and out there that bio actually is...lol.

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.

The AvP cardbacks said they were almost unique in being from a mountainous region, and use thermal netting, but then who knows where canon lies at this point...

[kylactus]

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?

[Jasonwelcome]

These all look great!!!

[netkid]

I want them to make a figure of this Predator:

Dark Blade Clan - Xenopedia - Wikia

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

To be fair though, the reason for that was because the Kenner figure for Stalker relied heavily on Spears. In fact, he came with three of them, as well as a spring loaded bazooka cannon to fire them.

Awesome stuff.

[Gunathar]

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