Why do the working Joes (And most androids) Bleed white "Blood"?

[tupe12342]

So from all sources I saw that took place in the alien-verse, all "Synthetics" have a white goo within their systems. From Bishop to those damn working Joes. But I never saw an explanation as to why they have said "Blood", does anybody know?

Maybe their synthetic organs works in a similar way to human organs and the liquid is for transport of things these organs need. Or it just looks good on screen and adds to the viewers emotions of their deaths, in movie as well as game.

Well they are synthetics. They are robots powered by artificial organs. if you watch the alien movies you will see this closer. this goo flows around powering them. they have some sort of synthetic muscles that uses it to work i think. also other systems that maybe uses it as fuel. when they charge i think they switch this goo to get fresh goo and leave waste goo. It makes them move and work more natural. maybe even more practical than standar metallic robotics that uses electric engines and hydrallics to work. I think future robots/androids whatever will work like this. So they store their energy everywhere in their "blood". Like we have our energy in our blood after it has been filled with O2 by our lungs and stuff from the food we are eating so it can be processed.

Bloody is red for a reason.
Androids don't need an Atmosphere to exist in, though they must have some form of artifical respiration and liquid mobility in their systems so they can perform complex animation.

They reflect an organism that doesn't essentially need to be alive to exist.

hydraullics, lubrication, coolant...could be any number of things

Alien is in the Blade Runner universe. The androids are not the typical robotic ones found in most films with, metals, motors and CPUs. They are derived from the artifuicial body organs we see today they prefair to call themselves artificial people. Blade Runner is about the early models they are very hard to detect from real people. Most of the ones In Alien Isolation are cheap low tech ones made by another company.

The Voight-Kampff test only gives an indication of an android and you will have to administer a bone marrow test to without a doubt sort out an android from human. The androids of Alien is clearly much more machine-like in nature.

It Is Either Liquid Silicone Or The Organ Liquid Stuff

[I'm Ant]

They eat human food so would need artifial organs to emulate what we have and liquid to transport stuff around like our blood does.

Think of it as food to them they consume it and it goes to the parts of their body's and possibly a type of oil to keep them in a good condition
