An unused concept maquette for the Upgrade Predator from Shane Black's The Predator was recently uploaded to Instagram by user Monstercake, who had provided the following to ADI during the film's pre-production. Unfortunately, his design concept went unused and no practical suit was made from this maquette, instead the Upgrade Predator was rendered completely digitally.

What do you think of this unused design compared to the CGI version we ended up getting? Let us know in the comments!
