The piece, called “alien queen,” is 1,200 pounds of recycled steel and has more than 4,000 parts, polished and lacquered to create a replica that would make any tinsel-town art director proud. A sci-fi horror film released in 1979, Alien featured a band of aggressive extraterrestrials that killed humans on a spaceship. In the sequel to the movie released in 1986, the alien queen is a 15 feet tall, a terrifying monster whose power comes from being the only fertile member of the predatory species. In RoboSteel’s real-world version, the queen is about half the size (2.5 meters, or 8 feet) but still impressive in its details. Nearly 90 percent of the parts for the sculpture came from Yamaha motorcycles collected from scrapyards, says RoboSteel. All the parts were hand-welded.
