Your favorite Predators

[Foxtrot94]

List your favorite Predators from the movies, games, or comics! Here's my top 5.

1. City Hunter
   
   
   
   
   
   Daaaayum this guy is badass. He's quite possibly the Predator that holds the record for the higher kill count in the movies. Seriously, he kills a looooot of people. Even a group of heavily armed men all together at once. AND HE FOCKING STANDS ON TOP OF A BUILDING CATCHING A LIGHTNING BOLT WITH HIS COMBISTICK WITHOUT EVEN FLINCH! How hardcore is that, dude?
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Wolf
   
   
   
   
   
   Talking about badasses... Wolf is the most badass Predator ever on screen. In the movie he's featured in, he's not really a hunter, he's more of a cleaner, his job is to purge a Xenomorph infestation. Yes, an entire infestation. On his own.
   This guy is clearly shown as a veteran of his clan, he's lived a whole life of successful Xenomorph hunts, proven by the acid burn on his face and his missing fang. He's got one hell of an arsenal, you got dual Plasma Caster, Combistick, Shuriken, obviously Wrist Blades, laser mines, a razor whip made of Xenomorph exoskeleton parts, and a mysterious blue liquid that dissolves everything it touches in seconds. Of course he needed all that stuff to face such a major number of Xenos, but you'd be wrong if you think he cannot fight them without his weapons. Dude, he freakin faced two Xenos at the same time bare hands!
   
   
   
   
   
   Xenomorphs. Bare - hands!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Every other character ever is a pussy in comparison, PERIOD.
   
   
3. Jungle Hunter
   
   
   
   
   
   There you go, the original.
   The phantom that stalked Dutch and his team in the jungle, killing everyone one by one. He's threatening, you can feel his freakish presence even if you don't see him, and he was an insurmuntable physical opponent.
   He represents all the traits that characterize the Yautja race, and the base on which future films will build upon, when it comes to characterization of a Predator.
   
   
4. Celtic
   
   
   
   
   
   Leader of the Young Blood pack of Yautja sent to the Antartica hunting trial to become Blooded.
   This guy was basically the juggernaut of the group, if we compare him to human figures, he'd be a bodybuilder or something. To be fair, even the other members of his pack were big, but this guy was just huge. And he was shown to rely heavily on his weight and strength to overcome his opponents.
   Many people didn't like him cause he was different from what a Predator's supposed to be: stealthy, agile, and athletic. He instead was tanky and rushing, an angry bull basically. But I liked him just for that reason, cause he was more unique among his brethren. Besides, you could explain that by saying that he was an inexperienced youngster, which you know... he totally was.
   
   
5. Berserker
   
   
   
   
   
   Leader of the Bad Blood clan, this guy belong to a group of Yautja who don't follow the rules of honor the "standard" Predators do. He's totally ruthless, uncaring, cruel... in other words, a pure a$$hole. Ironically, that's the reason why he ended up in the last position of my top 5, but it's also the reason why I like him too. Eh.
   Besides, how freakin badass is that jaw attached to his mask? Ha!

I like Berserker for his design, and Scar from AvP for being the first Predator on screen to kill any Xenomorphs.

But my favorite has to be Wolf.
On the dvd commentary, when comparing Wolf to the predators from AvP1. They were refereed to as young cocky 18 y/os, while Wolf was more of a 45 y/o war vet who had seen and down it all.
He went toe-to-toe with a Predalien. Debating the overall quality of the film aside, that is no small feat.

Yup.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

My favourite is still the Jungle Predator. I love that movie the best. And I've always liked that Predator, so no-brainer for me.

 

[lorddemolatron]

Well i had two fave Preds : Wolf and Scar

 

[Shadow]

The main one from the first AvP movie. Dude was awesome. <3 Granted, all Predators are pretty awesome. Second favorite has got to be the Fox one. I mean, have you seen that dude's gaming skills? I didn't know Predators could game. :wink:

 

[Foxtrot94]

Forgot to mention that the City Hunter was the creator of the iconic line "Want some candy?". Eh? Eh?

Okay, technically it was the kid with the toy gun, but it's the line uttered with the mechanical mimic'd voice the one that everyone remembers.

wolf

 

[KRSkull]

My favorites are

Dark (from Aliens vs. Predator): An Elite Yautja from the Elite Clan. He is one of the known predators to have survived a fight to the death with a Predalien

Greyback (from Predator 2): also known as Golden Angel. He was a Yautja Elder who Awarded Mike Harrigan an 18th century flintlock pistol aboard the Yautja Mother Ship hidden beneath Los Angeles in 1997. And he was the leader of the Los Angeles Hunting Party.

I know a better place to settle this: http://devilmaycry.org/threads/the-roleplay-fight-thread.10349/unread

 

[AgentRedgrave]

Thing about Predator wrist blades are, you got two blades (or one in the Super Predator's case) on just one hand

 

[Director Bison]

my favorite is easily ScarFace from the game Predator: concrete jungle

as you can see from the intro of the game he ****ed up bad
showed him self to the humans and left his weapons behind witch the humans reverse engineered and made great leaps in technology with
and was then left on that planet for 100 years with nothing but his wrist blade and a Glaive
his clan came back to this

he was then tasked to reclame his honor how did he do that
basically go back and destroy all the advanced weapons and technology that he could and slaughter everyone involved

it's a good game with a great story

 

[Ixbran]

My favorite Pred is the one who performs at gay bars while wearing nothing but a sexy mask and g-string.

*has seen so much Yautja porn I simply can't see them as anything but sex symbols promoting hardcore BDSM*

Silliness aside, I've never been one for films such as these, I've an over-active imagination and I tend to be startled easily, and it doesn't take much to give me nightmares. However I will say that as a race as a whole, i am intrigued by their culture. Especially based on the info @VampireWicked provided. I'll be honest, I never knew female Yautja existed outside of FanArt. I always thought they were a male only race that reproduced like the Namekians from DBZ.

I wonder if there are any kind of Peaceful Yautja, like, those who abandon the hunter/predator way of life for the pursuit of knowledge and peace. Still capable of kicking major ass if necessary, but one who would prefer to talk things over before pulling out a blaster.

The jaw attached to Berserker's mask looks like the one of a Xenomorph... so he had experience with Aliens? So Aliens are now canon in the Predator universe?

Well in most 0f material what covers Preds there been some mentions of Aliens as they been actually their Hard-meat trophies.

Oh right! I forgot that in Predator 2 there actually is a Xeno skull hanging on the wall.

Duude, how'd you forget bro?!...lol

Everybody should be aware that their way of life isn't much different to ours. You never want to **** off a woman, they're deadly skilled assassins.

- Scarface

This guy has done it all.
- took a bullet in the head and walked it off
- killed 100 years worth of alien creatures(if not the whole freaking planet)
- killed xenomorphs
- killed 3 of his own kind who were brainwashed
- disbanded multiple gangs by slaughtering their leaders and enforcers all of whom were enhanced by his own blood and gear
- stalked and slaughtered pornstar hookers
- Cockblocked El Hongo and then skinned him alive
- Faced off against Bruno Borgia and his unlimited goons and won with this badass theme playing in the background
- broke out of a highly secured and highly guarded base with no gadgets, no weapons and only 10% health
- killed dozens of superhuman soldiers
- easily defeated 3 samurai warriors who were trained in "ten thousand ways to kill" and then convinced them to fight for him
- destroyed countless war cyborg machines
- defeated the Predator/Human hybrid son of Bruno Borgia in a showdown on the massive statue of Bruno Borgia

A legendary yautja hunter.
Scarface was on a every day hunt until he came across Bruno Borgia, the biggest crimelord in the city, Scarface hunted and killed Bruno and attempted to intimidate his wife by removing his mask, but that just opened him up to a headshot from Isabella which splattered his blood all over her and her baby boy giving them the ability to live long lives and Scarface had to leave in a hurry as Bruno's remaining goons showed up and forced Scarface to flee, leaving behind his high tech equipment, therefore allowing Bruno's son to grow up to be a massive tyrant.
But that wasn't the end has Scarface returned after his exile and created chaos for the Borgia created Neonopolis city then killed the son of Bruno in an epic showdown atop their HQ on the hand of Bruno Borgia's massive statue.

- Wolf

Pretty much already covered in the OP, but Wolf is one hell of a yautja, named after Winston "The Wolf" Wolfe from Pulp Fiction, his job like Winston Wolfe's is to clean up and his job is a solo one.
Wolf practically has his own temple on the yautja homeworld with a pretty slick throne that has a built in computer than can track yautja ships across the galaxy as well as having a massive arsenal of weapons like his double plasma casters and even improvises them into a handgun when they were damaged, not to mention his badass whip.
Wolf managed to hold his own against the Predalien but he didn't really win or loose as both aliens had dealt their killing blows as they were destroyed when the nuke blew up.
But never the less, he was one hell of badass.

- Mr Black

This guy just oozes the "not to be f**ked with" vibe.
He didn't even really need to try to beat the Jungle Hunter he went up against.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Or in other words, why go to the game when you can bring the game to you. Their hunting is not only a sport in a sense but their way of life, it seems.
