Space Age Side-Kicks Bishop Aliens
After one or two dodgy experiences with an anthropomorphised android on the Nostromo, you can't blame Ripley for being a bit wary when she finds herself lumbered with another one on the Sulaco. Bishop, though, is proof that not everything that comes out of the Weyland-Yutani corporation is going to try to kill you. He's courageous, loyal, useful and he looks a lot like Lance Henriksen. He also has a handy line in badass knife-wielding party tricks. Bleeds milkshake though, which is a bit weird.
