Needs Help: Xenomorph Xerox

The current image for Xenomorph Xerox is this:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2362628_nes_xenophobe.png
While I think it does a decent job of illustrating the trope, the page for Xenophobe does not currently have an image of its own, and I think the one on the Xenomorph Xerox page might be a better fit there. To replace it, I suggest this one, which includes the Xenophobe picture cropped and put in a collage to show the various permutations of the trope:

From the top left by row: an alien monster from Xenophobe, Frieza's 3rd form from Dragon Ball, a Zeta Metroid from Metroid: Samus Returns, and an Outrider from Avengers: Infinity War.

I was the one who originally suggested the Xenophobe poster for the Xenomorph Xerox page, but that was before the Xenophobe page was made (apparently it was just made just a little less than a day as of this writing). I honestly expected Xenophobe to remain an obscure, lost game but that's TV Tropes for ya.

[tup] to the collage.

I think the three besides the Xenophobe image should be made transparent, and the game image should have the Sunsoft banner cropped off.

Since we're pretty much in agreement about the collage, I've gone ahead and pulled the pic from this page and put it on the game's page.

Cropped out the Sunsoft banner on the Xeonphobe box art and made it smaller to fit the short description. A transparent Zeta Metroid image can be found on its folder on Characters.Metroid The Metroids, and a transparent version of Frieza's third form can be found here.

Is it just me, or do Frieza and the Metroid look kinda fuzzy?

They do. I also find it a bit weird that Freeza's feet cross over into the lower panel. I'd prefer the non-transparent version, honestly.

^So you think the original collage would be better?

Yes. Let's keep the characters from crossing over to the others.

So does everyone else think it's time to put that collage picture on the page?

I still prefer the transparent one, but could we at least make the background of the Zeta Metroid black for consistency?

An idea - remake the collage so that the sections are large enough to fit all of Frieza, with a slightly different crop of the Outrider and the Zeta Metroid moved around to compensate, if there's not a different shot of one that can be used.

Here's a new take on the collage...unfortunately, when I tried to make it transparent the webpage took away everything except the Outrider.
