Starnge though, the David android is described as a "8th generation Weyland type android."
Ash was a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2, so it seems they are from different manufacturers?
At least we know the origin of the distre... I mean warning signal Nostromo received from LV-426 and the Company's Special Order 937. (wink, wink)
Weyland and Yutani merged to make up Weyland-Yutani in 2030, so the series numbers might be different on new models. Also, it's all pretend.  Anyone else notice the Alien's series androids name series (in film order), i.e. Ash, Bishop, Call, David, ? I've got money on a Eugene next.. If you go to the Weyland site set up for Prometheus, they actually make mention about a lawsuit against the Yutani Corporation: https://www.weylandindustries.com/site/timelineMaybe something for future movies?

I wonder if David 8 plays the knife game. Or if he dislikes cornbread.

If you go to the Weyland site set up for Prometheus, they actually make mention about a lawsuit against the Yutani Corporation: https://www.weylandindustries.com/site/timelineMaybe something for future movies? At the end, I think the return to Wayland and not having "Hyperdyne" involved at all, is Ridley's way of bringing the hammer down on Jim Cameron for including stuff as an inside joke that should not have been part of the canon. It would had been awesome however, if Cameron would had been allowed to use Cyberdyne instead. Going from T-800s to Ash would not have been that far fetched. ----- Hold on... I think I have a story here. How about Weyland acquired most of the android technology from the Tyrell Corporation after they went down after the untimely death of it's founder, and then Hyperdyne was a subsidiary (that actually was Cyberdyne in a timeline where Judgement Day never happened, they had to change names...Skynet and all that), and due to it's large investments in what surely would be a failed David model and Prometheus mission, Wayland temporarily moved production to the low cost (probably in another colony - they had to leave earth due to the whole Skynet fiasco) Hyperdyne facilities, that resulted in the production of the low quality 120-A/2 models using some of the Skynet subroutines, and... (And remember kids... It's all pretend...)

But while searching I looked at Wikipedia's entry and it referred to the knife game under these names: The knife game, nerve, bishop, or 5-finger fillet
Heh heh, Bishop. I wonder if it's named after the character from Aliens or vice versa. Or pure coincidence.
