Preds and Xeno's affected by electricity?

black_warrior, Yautja, 18 years ago

In the movies we have never really seen a pred or an xeno hit with electricity have we? But based on appearance and stuff do you think it will affect them very much or atleast enough to knock them out? like if you hit an xeno with a tazer or something would it hurt it? (because xeno's have a hard exoskeleton) The same thing with a pred because they have thick skin.(without the armor)

I think both would get hurt, electricity is very hot therefore its almost like fire which burns aliens and predators

(sorry if the following example is a crossover)

Yeah but i heard of this dude on the news that wore so much layers of clothes that the tazer didnt affect him, and preds have thick skin.

thats true but it depends on how much electricty is being forced into that one object, tazers dont let off a whole lot.
EDIT: they would definitly have some resistance though.

yeah your right. i really cant think of anything else about this right now.
Except how much more electricity do you think a xeno or pred could take? cause that has to do with resistance.

oh also i figured the xeno's exoskeleton would be like a shell and absorb the shock of electricity.

The xenom orph are not efected by electricity, beacuse it helps them and there adrinaline, it makes them stronger, they are organic. As you see in aliens, there is electricity around where the queen is it helps her lay eggs. Predators do get hurt by electricity though, aliens can dont breath, predators do, aliens are basicaly better.

plasma is basically controlled, concentrated electricity, and a yautjas shoulder cannon shoots plasma, so i would expect a xenomorph to get hurt depending on how much they take, i'm sure they would be able to resist and absorb the electricity if it was a smaller amount and not as concentrated as that of a plasma caster.

In aliens if there was electricity around the queen that doesnt mean it hit her. ripley was there and nothing happened.
I am still curious how electricity would HELP aliens instead of hurting them even alittle.
and aliens arent organic. like otang said earlier this week or 2 weeks.

in avp the queen was revived with electrical currents, but it wasnt to the point where it would hurt her, like at hospitals when they loose someones heart beat they use those little metal pads and shock em to bring them back, however that is nothing compared to the electricity stored in a shoulder cannon.

i'm just saying depending on the concentration of electricty they can be effected, unless lol, whatcha mean by organic is that they are immune

you said "they are made of acid and they are organic" and otang said you contradicted(spelling?) yourself so if they are made of acid then they arent organic. and otang has really studied these things.
