So the game gives you more reasons to fear the SA-X, not only have the X hijacked full power Samus, theyve taken her metroid killing tactics too.
Note how the SA-X freezes then super missiles you.

Also re: the galfed not being in the up and up, early in the game theres something that implies that.

I'm starting to think a self-destruct mechanism is mandated by space-OSHA.

If youre a horrible biological (space) horror containment facility then yes, it is.

We are glad to say that Umbrella corp is fully OSHA compliant.

I'm pretty sure that Energy Tank you struggled with in PYR has one of those pillars in the floor that you have to bomb to make appear, and that you were a tile or two from unintentionally bombing it. I was screaming at my computer that whole time.

You can keep your shinespark if you spin jump, but the timing is super tight though since it disappears pretty quick.

What did you expect Samus? You know the X reproduce by asexual division.

You get setup to think theres just the one SA-X, and youre more inclined to think that thanks to the conventions of gaming, and all X infected bosses thus far being unique craetures. ...but you also keep getting told the X are parasitic shapeshifters with a hive mind with a growing ability to learn, so why would there only be one?

TLDR, both are immune to conventional weaponry but metroids aren't sentient and require people to move them around, X can learn to use ships and weapons and is capable of infiltration among other things, the only short term thing X fears is metroids.

Its implied that the X are why the Chozo made the metroids.
But I can totally see how the metroids are much bigger threats than the X would ever be, especially now the galfed found a way to mass produce and raise the drat things.
Rip that research i guess.

Id say Tourian is part of how the galfed can raise and rapidly evolve metroids, since Mother Brain was using tourian as a base to breed them. They basically finished what she started.
And the Aurora Units are based off of Mother Brain too HMMMMM


God metroid could go in so many varied and interesting ways. I love it.

No, mother brain is a chozo original. The AUs are made by the galfed, and the pirates did steal one to take to phaaze.

Then what was that one video that they made for Prime 3 that shows them talking about the AUs and "here, enjoy this wireframe rendition of the final approach to Motherbrain"?

Yeah the AUs are based off of Mother Brain.

See what I mean about this possibly going in super interesting ways?
Galfed repeating the mistakes of the chozo but on a rapidly accelerated timescale, and with much less heed or understanding for the consequences.
