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.
