My guesstimation is that this MAY be a movie and comic (in terms of characters) license. So, in essence, XM may have the ability to do maybe what Narin did with his Predators, in conjuction with separate movie versions. That's my guess.
And in all honesty, I am all for comic because of the wealth of characters that can be done. All you guys have to do is look at writing on the wall so to speak. Alejandro P who did the awesome Batman v. Predator works with XM, the artist Takeya has a bust released in conjuction with XM. It's not hard to see XM having their own great designs with HIVE and come up with their own Predator line.
How about a Warlord Predator, Samurai Predator, Female Predator, Berserker Predator, etc. etc. Seeing how popular and well done their Batman Samurai line is doing, and how well XM and HIVE come up with unique designs and more importantly dynamic poses, this is what I personally would like to see.
Heh...this isn't even the biggest news. I suspect XM will reveal the details and more on other things when they have the opportunity. Right now...ICC will be preoccupying them for the next few days.
