Ridged or Smooth Domes for Xenomorphs?

Chris

Stumbled upon this sweet Alien fan art by Rob Benton in this Facebook group, who photosbopped the Warrior Xenomorph from Aliens to edit out the ridged dome in favor of the smooth / clear dome from Alien. I'm more of a fan of the original clear dome - associated with "Drone" Aliens throughout the expanded lore and video games, but the consensus for the ridged domes in Aliens were due to the Xenomorphs age - longer they existed the more ridged their domes became. Not sure if that was an official acknowledgement or something fans came up with, but I've always thought that was a fair explanation.

Either way, I think this looks great:

What do you think?

While not an issue per se, the ridged, carapace-like heads in Aliens visually enhanced the concept of hive insects imo. Maybe it was intentional by Cameron but I prefer the smooth dome as well.

Smooth dome for me. Seems more otherworldly.

Ridged, makes it more distinct from its younger stage the Drone.

Also I think it was James Cameron that implied the growth from Smooth to Ridged
