With Dan Trachtenberg's Prey movie introducing audiences to a more primitively designed Predator and the upcoming Noah Hawley Alien TV series and Fede Alvarez's upcoming Alien movie inevitably doing the same with the design of the iconic hostile perfect organism, it's at this moment before we've been given any official material where we begin to wonder what the new Xenomorphs are going to look like. With the Alien TV series acting as a prequel to the established lore and the new film being completely disconnected from the established lore - we can only assume that the Xenomorph design could be taken in a very different direction.
With its Biomechanical origins having been seeded by the late master H.R. Giger himself, we've seen a wide array of more biological and more mechanical designs for the Alien across the decades. One artist, Dmitrii Ustinov has envisioned a more mechanical aesthetic for the Xenomorph (seen below) literally called Alienbot. Check it out:
Given that the Alien TV series will focus heavily on Synthetic / Artificial persons and intelligence, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we might see more of a blending of mechanical and organic technology in the form of a newly designed Xenomorph.
Regardless, whether or not the upcoming Alien TV series or film dramatically shifts the design for our beloved Xenomorph, this artwork remains pretty remarkable and worthy of recognition.
