At first I thought that an integrated "Motion Scanner" was a bit over powered, due to the fact that you can't "Malfunction" his card text... But i think that having to rotate Frost for the ability balances it out well enough. You're thoughts? I think you might want to add Unlucky or some other drawback to playing him, because movie canon-wise he's the most unlucky and died first when Dietrich panicked after being grabbed by an Alien and torched him, causing him to fall off the rails. But all in all everything seems to add up. He did used a Motion Tracker early in the film so the built-in motion tracker effect here is nice fitting. As for the Driver resource, I'm sure we heard Apone said he was driving to the Atmosphere Processor, thus this also fits nicely. I don't recall if he held a Flamethrower ever in the film. But having the ability to start off with a Military Arm is always better than having to wait until you get Weapon Cache and wait for Armory. Why? Because no freakin' thanks to Armory for being a "Unique" card! Armory being restricted to 1 per deck is something that is frustrating at times especially since Marines can never use this as their starting location, although I think you may run a second Armory in the Location Deck. As for the quote, that's fine, and I think his most memorable one was " What the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh Language?" and then there was " I'm telling you, I've got a bad feeling about this drop.".

yeah those two quotes were my favorite of his too. It was just easier to pick the one i added to him from another card since it was already there, lol!
As for the Flamethrower, I added it because after he is finished handing out Pulse Rifles in the Ready Room, he picks up a flame thrower for himself. Besides the old HK pistol he carries it was the only other weapon you ever see him with, and i though giving him side arms was kinda lame by comparison.
Maybe I will switch it to Dietrich, as it is a bit more fitting, she does blow him away with one after all, lol!
I did think of adding Unlucky to him for a bit, but if we went by that they would all have it cus they all get wasted. In retrospect the most Unlucky marine out of all of them would in my mind be Hicks. He makes it all the way out of there, just to be slaughtered by a support beam while in his cryo tube, LAME!

Another Re-Pic, Those of you that are Die Hard Aliens fans will recognize the image. You have peaked my interest. What scene is that from, as I don't remember it?

This scene never made it to the movie. The photo here isnt actually from a scene at all, but a production photo spawned by Lance Henrikson's (Actor who played Bishop) awesome imagination / method acting style. During production he kept coming up with new things he wanted to add to the character, and kept posing them to James Cameron (Director). He came to James Cameron after having these Contacts custom made, and wanted to use them in the scene where he was dissecting the Facehugger. When Spunkmyer comes up to him and asks him "Do you need anything else?" Bishop was going to look up with these split pupils, as if he had some super human android ability to multitask. James Cameron gave him the benefit of the doubt, and shot some test footage during the making of that scene saying "No way we can use this, you are more teryfying than the aliens!" Personaly I think it would have been awesome! but Cameron had a point, I dont think the audience would have trusted that character for a second after that, lol!

On another note, Lance Henrikson was originally considered for the part of the Terminator. during pre-production Once he came into Cameron's office totally unannounced in full dress as the Terminator, and totally in character. He looked at the receptionist, and asked her with a rigid face "Have you seen James Cameron?" Then he just stood there frozen waiting a response. Cameron wasnt actually there at the office, and everyone in the room was apparently scared to death, about three seconds from calling the cops. Shortly after that Cameron walked into the office, and calmed everyone down, as Henrikson still hadnt moved from that spot, lol! That would have been bad ass to see!

I have always like Lance Henriksen, especially his voice. Its unfortunate that AVP (the film) didn't measure up to his talents. If only they could have captured the atomsphere of this game (The film Aliens with a Predator involved) it would have been much better.

Heres the "Forgotten" Marine! Lacks a quote. Although I don't recall did Wierzbowski ever had any major lines in the film. Well we never actually get to see him speak, maybe he only spoke while the camera angle was on another character.

Yeah that was kind of a lazy pun on the fact that he never said anything in the movie.
I dunno, what do you guys think? Shoot me some ideas for him and I'll put something in.

Axlotl- Good call. I remember Hicks screaming his name, after he finds Crowe dead. I think he was yelling Wheres Apone shortly after that.

Speaking of Crowe, and not knowing what to use for the Flavor text. Heres Crowe, lol! Im gonna need help with this one too. these two guys didnt utter a word during the movie except for when they are all yelling in response to Apone getting them pumped up before leaving the Sulaco.
