The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I was sitting pondering about the film and the phrase '216' and as I have a dislike of unexplained things I was trying to work out it's meaning and came up with this theory.
right firstly 2 + 1 + 6 = 9....................... there are 9 marines heading into the hive, so far so good! then I worked out.
2 Smart guns on point, 1 marine with a Motion tracker online, 6 marines following up!

Sounds good in my head anyway!!!

I doubt any armed forces would give such a precise heading inside a building. :wink:

216 is the formation they adopt... 2 SGs up front... Motion tracker and the rest of the team...

As much sense as the formation theory makes, they didn't turn the trackers on until they were indoors. When they did, 2 went live. First and second squads each had one (Hicks and Hudson). The single tracker part doesn't mesh up.

No, no, no, no, no!

If you need a picture of a Rover 216 in the countryside on a remote island, there can only be one choice:
