lol no way
Is the second one from the final form of Metroid Prime's scans? I just don't recall.
I like turtles.
It's actually from the first form's scan, if memory serves.

Oh, and then what would be compared with the helmet part of the SA-X is just the first form's spider-like shell. That sounds right. I like how donut was like "I don't know if you saw this or not, but, look at these screen shots." And then we're like "Okay. Noticed what?"
I see the similarity, but what exactly is being hypothesized?

I'm not sure, I just saw that they looked similar. I was hoping someone else would have a bright idea. Although SA-X is an X-Parasite and Metroid prime is a Metroid, I don't know.
Its a coincidence. Thats all.
it's just bland evil-looking face design, which is all we need
lol no way
I mean the face has only recently become one of the more important aspects of characterization in the series.

But then what about Drak Samus's ability to copy, and the X's ability to copy? Could that mean anything?
ANKOKU
Dark Samus doesn't copy.

Metroid Prime only copied Samus' looks because it took her suit. It fought under the suit's abilities not Samus' intuition (like the SA-X did).

The only other thing we've seen in the Metroid universe that copies like the X does (even a little) is Gandrayda.
lol no way
Do the Ing not count?
ANKOKU
The Ing don't take on the physical appearance of that which they copy. They only take on the abilities.

The X and Gandrayda copy looks and ability. Albeit one kills the host, the other only mimics it.


*Edit
Oh, you were talking about the "possessed" enemies (Aka. Dark ____) Yeah no, that's just puppeteering.
lol no way
Yeah I guess you're right, I'm struggling to find an instance where they just oozed up out of a puddle to be something other than just spiders. Rats.

The closest you get is Boosty, when he actually performs the Boost attack.
I like turtles.
Or Spider Guardian, when it clings to the Spider Tracks, or Power Bomb Guardian, when it flings Power Bombs at you, or Grapple Guardian, when it uses the Grapple Beam...
ANKOKU
Nah, That'd be like saying because Quadraxis uses the Annihilator on you in your fight the Ing that possessed him took on his powers and form. (which is again, only puppeteering, not like X or Gand)

Spider Guard only follows the tracks once it goes Spirer Mode. It doesn't look like the Morph Ball, nor does it have that little electric band.

Ah there's the best example. Bomb Guardian. That has Samus' Bomb power but looks NOTHING like the morph ball or any portion of Samus.

(PB Guard and Grapple are similar to Quad. They use a weapon.)
Boosty only can partially count because he actually turns into a morph ball during the attack.
lol no way
Yeah all the dark creatures I can think of were possessed normal creatures with the addition of one of Samus's abilities, or just regular Ing form.
You look like a donkey.
Uh DS has that face cause it couldn't find no other?
And Sa-X has the closest face to samus?

i thought about it a little, and... why do metroid prime have a "human" face? i mean, is that thing even a metroid? a humanoid metroid is too messed up for my brain...
