In Dark Horse Comics' Prometheus: Fire and Stone as well as the upcoming Life and Death series, we were introduced to a wide array of new Engineer technology and weaponry. Given the fact that Dark Horse's editors were privy to certain aspects of Ridley Scott's plans for the Prometheus / Alien: Covenant storyline, it's possible some of the tech showcased in these comics may make their way onto the big screen when Alien: Covenant lands in theaters next summer.
The Engineer Rifle, pictured below is an incredibly powerful weapon and very effective against Xenomorphs.
Now although Alien: Covenant may not play as directly into the expansion of the Alien franchise as Prometheus did, that's not to say we won't be exposed to new aspects of the Engineer culture.
I for one, would love to see more of the Engineer technology explored in Covenant. The small fraction of tech we saw in Prometheus was beyond fascinating by itself, I can't imagine what their "up scale" facilities and ships look like.
What do you think?
