Well, some points aside, it's not a bad theory.

Alex has always had an obsession with Hammerpedes.

It's definitely a possibility, and they'd be below the holographic recorder-cameras most likely, then you have the distorted quality which would also hide them.
Perhaps they ended up dealing with something akin to hammerpedes, but larger, faster and stronger...those suits look to be pretty tough and we can tell from the ineffective shotgun blast the Engineer was hit with that it takes a LOT to hurt them and the suits were breacher...so, yeah, maybe Hammerpedes but bigger and badder??

SO many QUESTIONS :D Love this universe for that...the Mystery-feel is pervasive!

Well, the hammerpedes are pretty cool critters, and in my writing I am exploring them a bit more than just what PROMETHEUS showed us. :D
They're kind of an 'under-rated' monster.

Spoken like a true obsessive.  We still love ya Alex.

Glad you liked my view of them! :)

With my works, Manticore sets down on LV-223 in 2137, so plenty of time has gone by.

...with Hammerpedes (and who knows what else) frolicking in all the leakage from the urns...

Rick, well, let's face it...we're ALL Obsessive about this-or-that in this universe, hence why we're all here in the forum, right? :D

Haha you have a point there!

Ah, that's really neat! I'd love to see your fan fiction explore the evolution of Hammerpedes. Maybe they become sentient creatures with psychic powers? Just an idea :D

All I will say is that the crew of PROMETHEUS had it pretty easy... ;)

I'd like to see a 8-10-meter-long hammerpede. :)

And a trilobite using its tentacles for running would be awesome, I want(ed) it so much.

Well, then I think you'll enjoy the part in ALIEN: Manticore when they start poking about LV-223. :D

Between the new, and Brilliant, Animated Series found here as well as this Topic, I will be doing some heavy editing of the entire LV-223 'block' in the story, as there's a wealth of inspiration that I didn't have before, and which now allows me to make things much richer, more complete, and with more significant details. :)

I've been fighting with the LV-223 'block' for a while, but now I can finally get it sorted out and built-up to a level I'm satisfied with, and I hope you all will enjoy.

But remember, I do HARD-R Rated material, just like The Ridley. ;)
Less swearing, though. :D

I was wondering if you was going for the Dildomorph at first ;)

Indeed the Hammerped theory is something that i concluded is most likely a few years back.  The reasons for it in the short version.

*Chest Busted Engineer Cryo-sleep Pods on the Juggernaught.

The Questions are, did this happen before the Outbreak, or after the Outbreak... i will give my verdict soon.

*Worms are Native to LV-223 well they was there before the Prometheus Crew arrived in the year 2093

So if the Engineers did not leave and no one else arrived prior to Prometheus and after the Outbreak this means those Worms had been on LV-223 for thousands of years.

*Worm+ Black Goo = Hammerpedes.

Outbreak thousands of years ago could potentially had created Hammerpedes in the past.

*Hammerpedes seem to evolve Worm Traits (Regenerate).

Worms are for the most part  EGG LAYERS and so if this trait is also evolved, imagine the outcome....

*Worms/Hammerpedes would need to Mate.

Worms are mainly Hermaphrodites they are both Male and Female, however they cant procreate on their own (some species can) but in most cases TWO Worms Mate and Fertilize each others Eggs...   We see TWO Hammerpedes Together.

*What Purpose did it have to go down into Milburns Mouth.

The Franchise shows us the Organisms (Aliens) Procreate via implantation of a Embryo (Alien Franchise) but Alien Covenant introduces the Spores for the Neomorphs... And Prometheus we also have Shaws infection.. 

But the common theme remains that a Parasitic like incubation occurs to create Alien Life from the Host Body of a Victim.   Why would it be different with the Hammerpedes thus who knows if the Hammerpedes lay Eggs inside a Hosts Body this would explain the reasons for going down Milburns Mouth 

so its possible the Hammerpede can Procreate, and if it Lays Eggs then we are left with the following questions.

1) Does the Hammerpede Lay Eggs, and these then Produce either more Hammerpedes, or some other Organism that acts like a Face Hugger or can transmit a Parasite?

2) Does the Hammerpedes Eggs need a Host to incubate in and Evolve into a Organism?

We need to look at how the Chest Buster Type Events we have seen always leads to a Organism that takes on traits from its Host, which includes the Xenomorph, Deacon and Neomorphs.

Why would the Hammerpede be any different?

so indeed their is the Potential for Hammerpedes Infecting some Engineers with a Parasite/Egg that evolves into some Organism that Chest Bursts.

I cant think of a better explanation for the Space Jockey event prior to Alien Covenant, other than some other Organism that was created Lays Eggs or Egg Morphs Hosts.

Facehuggers!

Absolutely 100% agreed!! I think I've watched it over a dozen times, just because I love the 'feel' ot it, the imagery and how it's subtle, yet blatant all at once.

It's pure Rocket-Fuel for my Muse!!

Well, you and everyone else won't be kept waiting any longer than avoidable. I won't 'rush' things and thus have cheap little flaws find their way in, but I do work pretty fast and I work on the story every day. :)

Carlos Huante's first concepts for the Hammerpede, that was a Centipede at first (Spaights Draft)

This Concept Work is Labeled ALIEN- Hugger Centipede 1

Alien because this was concept work he worked on while the movie was still based on Spaights Alien Engineers.

So indeed if the idea for the Original Design was to be some kind of Face Hugger, then its not far fetched to expect the Prometheus Hammerpedes are the same.

Or could be explored as such.

Be interesting to see this Blackwinter-witch

I have to get myself Motivated to Finish my Projects ;)

My Prometheus 2 was interesting, i found how to fit in the whole Engineers, Creators etc Agenda into it all as i had a few theories that contradict each other a bit and i could not just figure out any one particular...  i was pushing more towards the Annunaki Tale with a more Sinister twist than Mining for Gold, but then i liked the other theory i had too... so i just gave up

If i was to finish that project off which would be a alternative to where Ridley Scott is taking the movie, then indeed it would be to look and take that idea, plus add what the Source hinted at which kind of is similar... and mix it with HR Gigers Original Idea.

I which case... that one sticking point... would now be this...

I can share this idea if you like, its basically a interpretation of Gigers Ideas, but fit it within the context of the Franchise and Prometheus.

HR Gigers Concepts and Ideas had the Answers they should have explored all along!
