In the four-part miniseries Aliens: Genocide by Mike Richardson, John Arcudi, and Damon Willis, the head of a pharmaceutical company is leading a charter to Xenomorph Prime in order to obtain a substance known as Royal Jelly, which he can refine into a sellable drug. And this point, right here, is why the ultimate anti-Xenomorph suit can never be brought to the movies–it’d be too boring. Aliens proved that, with enough firepower and protection, Xenomorphs really aren’t that hard to kill, with Alien backing up that fact by showing a Xenomorph defeated without any weapons being necessary at all. The Xenomorphs had them by sheer numbers, but one-on-one, the Xenomorphs didn’t stand a chance. In the sequel, Aliens, a team of Colonial Marines bring some actual firepower to the Xenomorphs, and their weapons are incredibly effective. Ripley got a flamethrower by the end, but she ended up beating the creature by jettisoning it off into space. In the first Alien movie, the main reason nearly every crew member on the Nostromo was killed by a single alien was that none of them had any weapons. While Xenomorphs have proven that they are incredibly hard to kill, they are far from invincible. One would think that a suit built specifically to kill Xenomorphs would be awesome to see brought to the live-action Alien film franchise, but in reality, nothing could be further from the truth, for the simple fact that these suits are actually too deadly.
