Predator: Badlands is 11 days away and while hype is building for the next Predator movie, we've got some exciting Yautja-related exclusives to share with you! Today we are thrilled to unveil a first-ever look at unseen concept art for the Hulk Predator, designed by Dane Hallett for Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Killer of Killers anthology anime film! Thanks to Dane, we at Scified / Predator-Movies.com can exclusively reveal a first look at some of the alternative designs and weaponry for the massive Yautja!
You'll notice Dane's attention to detail when attempting to merge iconic Predator weaponry from Predator 2 into the Hulk Pred's arsenal. The dread-less look of the second alternative design also reminds us a lot of the captive Young Blood Hunters from the Predator: Concrete Jungle video game.
These designs featured a less technologically advanced arsenal of weaponry - more primitive than the pulse-shield which eventually featured in the film.
Even without advanced weapons, the Hulk Predator was a massive and barbaric Yautja, giving the equally barbaric Vikings a run for their money. Taking place in 841 A.D during the Viking age, the Hulk / Viking Predator is also technically the "first" Predator Humans ever encountered (going by the Predator film timeline), which could also explain its primitive weapon selection.
Big thank you to Dane Hallett for letting us unveil these! Be sure to follow Dane on Instagram and like his Facebook page if you haven't already! Check out his official website too to see more of his work.
