Holy Space Jesus, the Engineers in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus are ripped. Those milky abs, goodness — they look like they came from Planet Albino Crossfit. Get a good hard look at all the rippled Engineer flesh in these amazing behind-the-scenes photos from Prosthetics Supervisor Connor O’Sullivan. We’ve got shots of their thighs, their super space suits, their sleeping forms, and a creepy “Elder” Engineer that didn’t appear on screen. There is no explanation for who or what the Elder is, so we assume it’s just that other guy’s trainer.

Spoilers ahead…

Plus check out the high-res shots of Guy Pearce’s old man face. If you’re still curious as to why Guy Pearce was cast to play an old man, and never the actual infinitely more youthful version he currently is, we got the answers right here in this massive article about the design of Prometheus.

All images are from Connor O’Sullivan’s Facebook page (which has even more hot Engineer action). Now there’s only one thing left to ponder: Where are the Engineer ladies, and why aren’t they allowed to work with the other bald, presumably male, Engineers?

Thanks for the tip Eldee Smith!
