The design for Dek - the new Predator in Dan Trachtenberg's Badlands was met with a mixed bag of reactions when the first teaser dropped. While some fans were accepting of the film's pivot from the conventional look for the Predator (due to the purely digital face instead of using practical effects and robotics), many diehard Predator fans were modified. While the look for the Feral Predator in Trachtenberg's Prey was also met with mixed opinions, at least that Predator had a good reason for looking so different - it being a more primitive, easier to explain the differences.

Yautja fans have taken it upon themselves to change the look of Dek to be more conventional.

The first edit was done by IG user Julian Kok, who shared his paintover of Dek's face:

Other redesigns I've noticed online, not sure who to credit for these ones:

What do you think of these edits? Do you prefer any of them to the official look? Do you have any redesigns of your own you wish to share? Post them in a reply below!
