Aliens Colonial Marines VS Predator Rescue Team

Dutch...

The colonial Marines have nukes, so end of story.

Dutch's team could pick up their trail at Gateway Station, run em down, grab those nukes and bounce back across the outer rim before anybody even knew they were there.

 

[JAWS]

Dutch beats CM by himself.

Regardless of who'd win I love both groups. It pains me that the P1 Special Forces team seems to be out of reach for any toy company to make. At least NECA are doing a good job so far on the USCMs, not only them but the whole primary cast of Aliens - we even just got Burke. Unbelievable.

But the P1 soldiers, all geared up like in that oft-seen publicity group shot would be just incredible.

 

[Snake Plissken]

As much as I like what they've done with P1... if they don't do the rest of the team... not interested.

I can't hold that against you. Because it doesn't seem to matter how many Predators and Dutch figures they sell - which must be a lot - Predator is one of their top movie licenses, if not the actual number 1. And yet no more P1 soldiers and no Harrigan from P2.

And as far as I know... haven't they done like every version of Dutch there is?

The amount of possibilities for custom dioramas is infinite if they did the whole team. I think recreating this scene with a 1/12 Huey would be incredible, with the red light and all.

Pretty much why the idea of "ALIEN vs PREDATOR" is retarded.

...

Predator can easily kill elite mercs
+
Elite mercs can easily kill colonial marines
+
Colonial marines can easily kill tons of Xenomorphs
=
Predator can easily kill tons of Xenomorphs

Xenomorphs are the perfect prey creature for a hunt, better than humans.
To hunt humans they need to be armed, and are easy pickings.

Aliens themselves are like a weapon, they have knives for tails.
The idea makes sense, just because the execution was bad it doesnt mean the idea was bad.
It makes perfect sense for predators to want to hunt xenomorphs for trophy

You'd be surprised. I've previously studied the film for other variations of Dutch they could still do if we really wanna get @n@l about it (and I do).

-an accurate red shirt Dutch - they kinda cheaped out on the existing figure, just repainting his combat pants and boots. They also could have given us a second head with his cap and sunglasses and his travel bag as an accessory

-after the assault on the guerrilla camp he untucks his beige shirt and opens it on the front and he's not wearing his gloves anymore - I made that myself because I happened to have the parts available.

-in the scene where they build their traps for the Predator and Dutch ventures out into the open as bait he's bare chested other than the ammo vest and he is wearing the gloves - NECA made their figure without the gloves - based on a few minutes later when they're trying to escape while carrying the injured Poncho. So that was accurate but they could do a simple reissue of the same figure wearing the gloves for the trap/cheese scene.

-they could do Dutch from the scene where he first discovers the way to become invisible to the Predator - basically a reissue of the existing muddy figure but still wearing the ammo vest, knife holsters and so on.

-Dutch with wet hair and the mud washed off just prior to his hand-to-hand fight with the Predator

-lastly they could do his very final appearance with his hands on his hips, covered in dried dirt and blood

So there you go.

I do recall that Dutch's outfit subtly changes throughout the film, but I seriously doubt NECA would even micro analyze the film that way.

I also was unaware they got lazy with the Red Shirt figures... I've always enjoyed seeing customs of that even though it's incredibly simplistic.

 

[crows]

Colonial marines were rude and didnt respect authority. They were arrogant and underestimated the danger.
Dutch team was more professional

 

[Jameson Rook]

Tough pick, I'll go with Dutch because testosterone.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Team Dutch

 

[Khev]

The two teams really aren't very comparable to one another. The Colonial Marines were presented as more realistic soldiers who are susceptible to normal human emotions like cockiness, laziness, fear, (not to mention friendly fire) and even the greatest of them (Hicks) feels pain and can be taken out of a fight. The Predator Rescue Team were straight up cartoon characters that had airtight script immunity and never missed (even when not aiming or spraying hundreds of bullets) unless they were facing the even more cartoonly indestructible bad guy.

So yeah, cartoon characters with superhuman abilities will defeat regular humans every time.

 

[Rambler]

Team Dutch. Just look at the ingenuity they came up with to try to catch the predator as a team using trees and ****.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Three members have been pushing too many pencils.

That boyscout ******** really worked!

One thing they both have in common, no backup. No such thing, both teams were a one way ticket and on their own. Waiting 17 days for a 'rescue' is pretty much the same as no backup or extrication strategy.

Team Dutch for me btw...
