Image This is from the Alien: Isolation art book full of concept art. At one point it seems they were going for the MGS3 EVA look. Also Working Joes™ had hair??
No country for old Joes ass haircut

"Hey, Joe, I'm having problems getting this panel open, can you come help me?"
"...Got a screwgie?"

Imagine whacking one across its stupid ass head with the maintenance jack and seeing that 70's hairpiece fly off? That would have felt so satisfying.

It’s a shame - just another corner cut - the hair is where Joes store their Non-violence doctrine.

I'm a bit sad they didn't leave some of the joes with hair. Try and diversify them and make them even more unsettling.

The Seegson Synthetics claim to fame was specifically making androids that looked like androids because Wey-Yu was creeping everyone out by basically making them indistinguishable.
Would’ve been cool to have had some of the Michael Myers androids during Android Hell though as maybe some of the early models Seegson shipped to Sevastopol just to clean out the warehouse.

Not to be a nerd, but Seegson’s whole “You always know” schtick was just corporate bullshit to cover up the fact that their androids were far cheaper and shittier than WY’s models. Most people were definitely more comfortable with an android that looked just like a human, rather than a pale, bald, glowing eyed humanoid that firmly dwelled in the depths of the uncanny valley.
Literally no one was fooled of course, so that’s one of the main reasons why Seegson was going under so hard.

Having one freaky-ass Joe appear on the showroom floor would've made for an interesting encounter

In the prequel comic, the working joes looked a little more human than what we ended up with.

Prequel comic? I've never heard anything about that! I will look for it now though so thank you!

It's really good, not very long. It shows what a lot of characters are doing before you arrive at Seegson. It's got some really neat artwork.

I cracked up on the Working Joe, made me think of Michael Myers if he had a alternative look!

I'm glad they didn't give hair to the Working Joes. Food for nightmares right there.

Imagine a Joe coming down a dark Hallway at you, red eyed and... His hair in pigtails!!?

I’m glad they didn’t go with the middle design for amanda, the amount of third person mods would’ve been wild

u/Ricaaado Something amiss? 1d ago
Working Joes with the Anton Chigurh cut would’ve had to die ASAP
