  1. The Predators would just 'nuke' Earth from solar systems away. They hunt using primitive tools by choice, not from need. They had interstellar space craft ten thousand years ago. Heck, they could be the enemy of the Creators. ... After the fustercluck that was 'Prometheus', I came up with the following headcanon: There once was an ancient and powerful race who had attained a level of such technological advancement that they were virtually immortal and capable of anything. But having done so, they felt their lives had lost meaning. So they decided to return to the ways of their distant ancestors and risk their lives in deadly hunts for fearsome prey, testing themselves continually, surviving on their wits and strength, rather than technology, all the while maintaining their high level of technological advancement. So they became the Hunters. There once was another ancient and powerful race who attained a level of such technological advancement that they were almost immortal and capable of pretty much anything. Having done so, they were content to live their lives pursuing scientific knowledge. They proceeded to travel the galaxy, researching, studying and manipulating life forms, having raised themselves to a level of genetic perfection. They were the Engineers. I don't know how a war would have started, but on the other hand it seemed logical: their ways of life were completely anathema: one race lived with furious passion, grappling with life and death, the other existed with cold detachment, studying from a distance. Anyway, war. The Engineers were outmatched. Their opponents lived to fight and their technology was as advanced as theirs. But then they discovered something. The Hunters went after any worthy prey, but there was one held over all others. An ancient species, much older than either the Hunters or the Engineers, but not civilized, maybe not even sapient. A race of super-adaptable parasites capable of incredibly rapid reproduction. Hunting one was a rite of passage for the Hunters. These monsters we call Xenomorphs. So the Engineers took this species, isolated it and weaponized its genetic material into a range of biological attacks. However, while this gave them an edge, it stoked the Hunters to far greater ferocity. The Engineers realized they may have dug their own grave with this move, and thus decided to make a back up of themselves. On a small but friendly world they seeded their own species, but in a stunted, downgraded form, so that they could escape detection by the Hunters. In the end, their war was lost. A handful of stragglers survived by entering bio-stasis and the Hunters declared victory. Eventually, the Hunters discovered the world the Engineers had seeded with smaller, more imperfect versions of themselves, but instead of destroying it outright, they decided to test them. To see whether the Engineers could instead have been worthy, honorable adversaries. They raised the natives to a level of civilization and exposed them to Xenomorph infestation to hunt the results, in a recurring religious ritual. That is how I see the Aliens/Predator/Prometheus universe... it could easily be combined with several other James Cameron productions, such as The Terminator, Avatar and Titanic. You'd have to change only a few minor details to conflate it with the Guyver universe: say the Engineers are the Creators. Say they didn't steer human evolution from billions of years ago (which was always a completely insane idea) but, say, fifty thousand; and say humanity is their offspring, but a weaponized offspring. Combining the main traits of the Engineers/Creators with those of biological weapons they made. We're upgraded versions of themselves. The next stage of the war. That is why we fascinate the Hunters and that is why they keep coming back. But they might have to kill us all if we develop large-scale space travel.

  2. Considering Skynet and it's forces were losing to the humans by the time they started using time travel. They should be easily beatable. Well the Zoanoids are more than strong enough to fight Skynet. But Skynet also controls nuclear weapons. Zoanoids could tear apart the machines like they could tanks, but they'd fall to the future weapons like Lazer beams. To be fair, if Cronos equipped it's Zoanoids with those same weapons, they'd hardly be stopped. Finally, the trump card. Zoalords and Hyper types. Eventually Cronos is going to wipe out every damn computer off the planet except their own. The Aliens and Predator universes are more interesting. Especially is you consider what would happen if a Zoanoid was infested with Alien eggs. Zoa-Aliens...
