Haven't had the time to read this yet, but it looks like a really extensive look at the designing and tendering of the creatures for the film. Can't wait to give it a read. cinemotion.bg/blog/202/Tremors-5

Interesting reading it definitely is, thanks! Can't resist adding a couple of comments tho:
I'd really want to see what Giger would say to that piece of...! :)
... achieving the exact opposite. Whilst personally I'd prefer AB's never to be invented, the T3 ones at least did look right and were immediately identifiable as another part of the graboid's life cycle.
This ugly abomination looks like a TIE fighter which got some sort of a really ugly cancer, a pair of legs, and a vagina dentata. It is, in my personal opinion, one of the strongest reasons why T5 is that bad (along with detachable tongues, second only to a rather unburtlike Burt).

The ABs make evolution sense; since Grabiods eat anything and everything (except 4-12 - series episode) it is up to the ABs to get far enough away from the worms for the eggs to have a chance. In T3 the ABs LOOK like Shriekers who have changed. In T5 the ABs are absolutely different and can not be explained by evolution. They look like nothing in the Grabiod world and that very strangeness is for me, the problem.

Hear, hear.
After seeing the redesigned ABs and Graboids, I'm thankful that the new films haven't attempted to tackle Shriekers.

There was SO much potential with the African variations.
I know Stampede said when they were doing their Tremors 5 (set in Australia) there were going to be some regional differences to their Graboids as well, but by and large they were still going to look like Graboids. That's... not the case in Bloodlines.

Agreed. There is a lot of room for variations and similarity in the various critters. A Panda, Polar, Grizzly and Black are all bears and identifiable as such in spite of their differences. There are mammals and marsupials that are almost identical in form and appearance as they fill the same niche in their respective environments. This is logical. Still, in T5, there is NO explanation as to how the ABs develop from a worm. Except for El Blanco, worms and Shriekers/ABs do not exist at the same time. Since there is a "hatching" from a clutch of eggs all of the worms change at about the same time. Shriekers also change at the same time. The T5 scenario just does not make logical sense. I don't mind the suspension of belief required for a good movie but I really, really hate it when, after giving the plot the basic background they asked for, they are then so careless with the rest of the movie.
I guess I'm grumpy this morning.
