Chopper's Armblades and other stuff
black_warrior, Yautja, 17 years ago
I know some of you are going to say "it was just a mess up in the movie" but how do you think Chopper got the armblades in the first place. i thought those would be like a weapon of honor or something like reserved for elders.

ok black, but it's gonna cost ya $19.95 a minute, lol

No, it was not a mess up in the movie. One would think that Chopppper was actually a Blooded Predator watching over the other two. I doubt that very highly. Maybe he was different somehow.

well Chopper did have human skulls which showed that he had been on other hunts.
And i may not be making since but in Predator2 City Hunter had an alien skull before he had the human ones. So that may make chopper blooded. although the watching over thing wouldnt make since because preds honor would probably go against being saved by another pred. You know like "your not good enough" kinda thing.

Maybe chopper was there to make sure that the alien hive didnt get out of control, and maybe to guide scar and celtic.

honesty i think that chopper was a blooded because the human skulls show that he was in previous hunts and maybe it was the first for celtic and scar
AVSP, Yautja, 17 years ago
he could get the human skulls from the humans on the ice. he didn't have a mark on the head. so i don't think he was blooded and celtic was in front and chopper was weak, scar was much stronger. wristblades are only on one arm so maybe all of them have that armblade but never used it. accept chopper.
Stalker, Yautja, 17 years ago
I severely doubt there was a deeper meaning behind the armblades, Anderson probably just thought that they'd be a cool weapon. The question begs then, why put a cool weapon in a movie if the character dies before he gets to use it?
-Bloo-, Yautja, 17 years ago
If that was the case, that was very stupid and question-leaving. And no, to answer that one City Hunter question. Did you not notice the other skulls, not to mention that skull with the spinal cord, and without the spinal cord? And according to the Blooding Ritual, they are supposed to have an Alien skull before a human one. I have no idea to why Chopper had, like, one or three of them.

see that proves what i am trying to say. Chopper was blooded.
what would choppers purpose in the hunt be if he was just watching them? saving them wouldnt be good because this was Celtic and $car's first hunt.
that is like you playing a video game and when you are about to lose someone takes it from you and then beats it and gives it back.

Anderson stated somewere, in response to I-think-it-was-the-person-who-played-Lex in the commentary, who pointed out that they look like children skulls or somthing, but infact that they were from intergalectic apes. Yeah, highly threatening.

Grid went after Chopper because he was the most dangerous melee predator there. If Grid went head on w/ Gill (Chopper) he would have lost the fight. Now replace Celtic for Gill, as the first kill, Chopper will pick up with Celtic's death and go after Grid. Grid wouldn't be able to out-last him, in terms of melee. Those armblades are insane, at close range that can tear anything from limb to limb.

in the book there are originally five preds gill/chopper could of been blooded but i doubt that.
in a commentary i heard somthing interesting that the preds in 1 and 2 were youngsters and the preds in avp were teen ( as we all know) but meh.

There is all this talk about Grid going after Chopper puposefully. I doubt it. Grid went after Chopper, because Chopper was distracted. Not because Chopper was "t3h ultimate ninja predz lulz", be because he was simply the most vunerable.

'No, it was not a mess up in the movie. One would think that Chopppper was actually a Blooded Predator watching over the other two.'
i have screenshots that prove 'Chopper' had human skulls on his gear. if you look at the scene when he is thrown to the ground and slides into a the wall, there are two human-looking skulls set on two combi-sticks or similar looking equipment.
i have publically questioned their appearence in the movie. or it was just a mess up, who knows.

Chopper was just among the group of 3 predators. He messed up, he got distracted, he IS the only one with the armblades, Celtic and Scar have it only in the figures for 'style'. Besides, the AVP Alien's are overpowered, an xenomorph's tail doesn't support that tail strength, nor is it THAT long... (Check out 'Alien attacks Predator' figure) Alot of errors in AVP, almost non-canonical errors.
Unknown, Yautja, 17 years ago
God dammit! Those skulls were child/monkey sized! No decent predator would kill a child. It goes against predator ethics. So unless they were migit skulls, then I need solid proof from at least Anderson. Anyway, Anderson said that he thought that humans were hunted before Aliens, meaning that in his dilluded predator universe, Chopper wasn't blooded. I'm not mad, I'm just saying I really really doubt that he was blooded.
