Fantastic Slur: The humans call the synthetics "gearhead" or "milkman." Oddly, the synths don't seem that offended by this, but then again, they are beyond done with humans.

Noodle Incident: Something happened that turned the synthetics of Steel Team against the United Systems, and gave Eli in particular a grudge against humans in general. Exactly what that was is not explained.

Off with His Head!: Eli wrenches a Xenomorph's head off with his bare hands. Even more impressively, he does it without being soaked in its acid blood.

Decoy Damsel: In the first issue, when General March's soldiers attack Steel Team's home on Europa-5, Nora falls on her knees claiming to be the synthetics' human prisoner and babbling that they made her "do things". The troops fall for it, and get Killed Mid-Sentence once they're close enough.

*Drool* Hello: In the first issue prologue, the guards trying to hold back the panicking civilians on Tobler-9 don't realise they have a bigger problem until Xenomorph drool drips onto the barrel of one's gun. They're dead seconds later.

Killed Mid-Sentence

comment
Killed Mid-Sentence: In the first issue prologue, one of the Tobler-9 guards is barking orders and threats at the civilians, then abruptly has her head torn in half by an unseen Xenomorph while she's still talking. General March's soldiers are hopelessly outmatched by Steel Team and at least three get killed mid-sentence during the first issue's fighting. Nora later mentioned that they're not all dead, but it's unclear who actually survived.

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Seth gets skewered from behind by a Xenomorph's tail, then held aloft by the tail and carried off. As they're synthetic, it's not immediately fatal, though.

 Alien (2022) (Comic Book) / int_e0c00a95
comment
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Steel Team has knives and swords that are easily able to cut through Xenomorph armored carapaces, at least when backed by combat synthetic strength. The blades are drawn as glowing, and don't seem to be ruined by the Xenomorphs' acid blood, though precisely what mechanism they use is not explained.

comment
Contrast Montage: The first issue opens with Weyland-Yutani's promotional film for Tobler-9 and the 2205 Conference for Human Innovation. Scenes of a spacious, sunlit city are intercut with panels of panicked faces and a child's toy, both under red emergency lighting. A holographic presenter provides an upbeat welcome speech over the montage. The scene then fully shifts to the chaotic evacuation, with sirens sounding and Xenomorphs breaking in.
