We're coming to the end of our Aliens vs. Predator discussion highlights with Rebellion's Tim Jones, but before we wrap up the coverage, I really must share one last, important, point. With Rebellion clear experts on what the Xenomorph can and cannot accomplish, I had to take the opportunity to answer a burning question we've ALL had:
Could a Facehugger successfully impregnate a Terminator to create a cyborg that I have cleverly dubbed the TerminAlien, and could an Alien burst out of the chest of a Terminator if it had a hard enough head?
"As far as I know, there is no strain of Alien that could successfully germinate inside a Terminator -- at least not one with an 800 series endoskeleton," said Jones, having clearly thought about this. "A Terminator type with a few more organic internal organs might fare less well ... And I'm pretty sure a Chestburster could bust its way through a Terminator's metal chest if it really had to -- though it might have to take a bite out of its own tail to spill some acid blood to soften up the metal exit wound first."
Interesting ... most interesting. It looks like further tests are needed, but it's nice to know that, theoretically, I could indeed create a race of cyborg Xenomorphs to send back into the past and assassinate Jeff Dunham before he ever stuck his hand inside one of those distressingly unfunny, overrated, stupid-as-f*ck puppets.
What else could we put Alien embryos inside?

A Teletubby. I can't begin to imagine how fucked up it would look.
I thought the entire world got together and unanimously agreed to pretend Terminator Salvation never happened?
Did someone tought about aliens and zombies? It is organic material.
Neat AvP trivia: In the AvP games Androids do not have any 'marker/scent' in the Alien vision making them difficult to detect than living targets. And in AvP 1 Androids and mechanical human drones are detectable only on the electro-magnetic Predator vision (Traditionally used to detect Xenomorphs). This jives with the whole back story that the Xenomorphs are artificial weapons made by the extinct Space Jockey race (sorry forgot their name).
Keep of the good work, Jim, my acid blood is a bubblin' in anticipation of AvP 3!
Also, what would scare the crap out of me is mixing something big, like a T-Rex. That would suck pretty righteously.
You've changed your avatar!
I miss the monacle; it reminded me of GamesMaster, you know GamesMaster? The TV show? Domonic Diamond, Sir Patrick Moore, AWESOME! You're from the UK too so you know what I mean. What was I saying again?
The 90's ruled, maybe the 80's were better, meh. GamesMaster magazine sucks.
Goes to the face and wraps itself around the face, attempting to incapacitate our favorite android. While organisms would fall prey to a dual sedation/asphyxiation, a T-800 would go "WTF something just attached itself to my face". Two reasons, it doesn't have lungs to cut air off from, and it doesn't have a bloodstream to spread the toxin.
While our daring hero(?) try's to score, it attempts a quicky and squeeze one off before itself is ripped off like a plastic lid. Much to it's dismay, the egg winds up in in the middle of a metal hell.
Since a T-800 is just a robot with some skin slapped on, the poor egg is spat out like a sexy loogie.
There, another mystery to life answered with some explanation. Go Jim!
Or how about the Destructoid robot!
