Now let’s all say it together: “Get away from her, you bitch!” It’s the moment Ellen Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, suits up in the yellow Power Loader and takes on the Queen Alien to protect Newt. And while Weaver is the actual star, and the Queen Alien is impressive, the real standout of the scene is that Power Loader, the awesome construct that allows Ripley to stand toe-to-toe with the Queen.
