The Alien in the first movie wasn’t a queen. Using the hive model, I suppose you could call it a soldier. The egg-laying alien queen concept was James Cameron’s, and though the creature design is clearly derived from H.R.Giger’s alien, the queen seen in Aliens was based on Cameron’s sketches.In the original movie, the scenes in which the alien “cocoons” its victims - and the cocoons somehow become eggs - was cut because Scott thought that they slowed the pacing of the end sequence. Cameron said that if they’d been left in place, it would have precluded the creation of his queen character for Aliens.
Follow Ups:
Quite so. I had the book on the making of the original movie including a stela in the large dead alien's ship that showed the life-cycle of the nasty aliens and there were no queens. Each and every alien could reproduce itself asexually by planting an egg in a victim and wrapping them up in a cacoon like a living larder that would eventually turn into one of those pod things. In all, a much more terrifying concept since they don't need a queen to reproduce and take over a planet. But, then they had to go and make a bunch of space westerns out of it, and you know they gotta have a big guy in a black hat for a western. /_-)
