| The name or term "Predator" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Predator (disambiguation). |
- A Predator is an alien bounty hunter from the Earthforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Predator from Yautja has reptilian hands and carries some kind of pistol with a laser-sight. He is not averse to killing for profit.
Fiction
[edit]Marvel Comics continuity
[edit]These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See Earthforce for details.
While Starscream was wandering alone in the Louisiana bayous, a Predator aimed his pistol at Starscream's, er, cockpit. The Predator was intent on claiming the bounty Megatron and Shockwave had put on Starscream's head, but since Starscream survived we may assume the Predator's attempt on his life was unsuccessful. Assassins
Notes
[edit]- The Predator was not explicitly named on the cover to issue #284, but in issue #293's letters page Dreadwind confirms the alien's identity.[1]
- Predators are, of course, the primary antagonists of the Predator movie franchise, coincidentally having been voiced by Peter Cullen, Hal Rayle, and Lex Lang.
- Crankcase, Berserker, and Enforcer's design aesthetics draw heavily upon that of the Predator.
- What you have to do when you meet this guy is to...GET TO THE CHOPPA!
