seriously germs are a bigger problem than this beast which has built its reputation on scared women, civilian truck drivers and woefully unprepared moron soldiers
Thanks, James Cameron.

Maybe the basic ones, the Praetors and Queens are shown to be more intelligent
>no ballistic or ranged attack
Ok, most things can't do this without weapons
>vulnerable to small arms fire
Pulse rifles and grenade launchers aren't small arms. It is vulnerable to fire though.
>life cycle includes lengthy gestation period in a host during which it can be easily killed (providing the host's people are willing to sacrifice the host)
Lengthy, no. It takes a few hours from egg to larva and a few from larva to something threatening
>lifecycle includes being a large spider vulnerable to chairs, bats and melee weapons
The facehugger is a delivery mechanism for the egg, it's not part of the lifecycle
>only gimmick is acid blood which leaks *when it is hurt or dies*
But you already established you're aware of the facehugger and gestation/chestbursting. The other gimmicks. And what about the second mouth thing? And capturing people live to act as hosts? And the Queen/hierarchy/hivemind?
>killing the queen ends the hive
Depends on what canon you're looking at. In Alien 3, the Alien threat originates from the hive in Aliens. In some comics I think if a Queen dies another takes its place like a beehive.

Nukes aren't small arms

>Powerful small arms, yes. Anything that wasn't explosive caseless 10mm or buckshot at dangerously close range was horribly ineffective
>Their gestation period is so short I've seen threads debating if it was even biologically possible
>Melee weapons short of the Yautja's specialized ones are ineffective against even Facehuggers and thats if you consider AVP canon which most don't
>Acid blood is far from its only gimmick this is just a shitpost
>Also wrong. If you consider expanded universe canon the drones are capable of molting and evolving into a queen over a period of time if there isn't one present. Even outside of expanded universe the quadruped in Alien 3 came from the hive in Aliens and went on just fine, the one in the first movie had no hive to speak of.

Into the trash it goes.

Just for your retarded ass even outside of AvP a facehugger is never killed with a melee weapon.
