My locust Queen theory....

[II Coffey II]

My theory is that the locust queen is some sort of mother nature. And that she speaks telepathically to the locust(and in the game cut scene's) with the English accent representing the clearness of it.

This part is separate as I'm unsure about it and it has lots of flaws but I also believe she raised the locust as some sort of tool to destroy humans from the planet because they "p1ssed her off".

Now people would think, but why do the locust have families etc and why have they not just raised up from the ground like zombies etc. Well as a supreme being of some sort she probably doesn't have "time" like we do, so for her it is like that.


I just wanted some opinions on what people thought of this idea or what they could add to it if they think it would work.

My theory? Shes a giant corpak with a human head that spawns the locust from her spider like abdomen. The Locust were created from the things that live below Sera in evolution like the spiders breeding with rockworms to create. Corpsers and then Brumaks and then Corpaks. The Corpak later spawned drones and regular infantry out of its eggs. Only the Queen Corpak of course. CORPAK k im done.

Ah now this is a very interesting theory. It definitly sounds plausible. (I feel like mythbusters when I say that hehe) Anyway, It seems right when you explain it like that. She could have also formed this thing weve come to know as, the hollow, to breed and mature the Locust.
But yes, this is probably the best theory Ive heard on the Locust Queen. Its nothing too dramatic, but its completely reasonable. Nice.

My theory: Anything is possible, because we know nothing of the Locust Queen, or even if there is a Locust Queen.

[UKS_BulletPoint]

Stop saying Corpak, it may not even be a creature and even if it is why give it such an uninspired name like Corpak?

Back to the point, I still believe that the Locust Queen has some physical presence. The Locust seem to have a hive structure no matter what people say, at the end of the first Gears of War you see Boomers and Drones moving barrels, these being the primary workers, then there's the theron guards that would act as the soldier class with the generals and of course there must be the queen. Even if the Locust are smarter than most creatures they still don't seem to have complete independent thought, like as if they don't think, they're just driven, all that matters is to protect the queen, which the humans are threatening so they protect the queen by removing the threat. If so was the case I would expect there to be an actual queen for them to serve.

I always thought they were driven by pure instinct until I found out there may be a queen. This discussion is open to such a variety of interpretation, I cant wait to find out what the Queen actually is.

you cant say you feel like mythbusters until you say "well, weve tried everything else, might as well blow it up" (good times, good times"

what i think it is, is that the Queen might be an actual monarch, not a queen in a typical bug sense. and also, the therons are the professional soldiers (spartans from 300), where as the grubs are the citizen soldiers (the other, non spartan, grekans)

Sorry if implyed that I thought she was a bug because I think she's a human, what I ment was I think they treat her like this (then again she could be like the brain bug in Starship Troopers that consumes peoples' brains using a feeding tube, I loved that film). Also, workers bees do fight when necessary, especially when protecting the hive/queen, but it is the main job of the soldier bees as the queen's 'personal' guards.

Gotta love the brain bug!

Locust have belly buttons=they are born, not hatched

Can people stop assuming what I think? I said they may have a basic hive like structure, I never said they were layed from eggs. They may have seperate parents but all work goes towards keeping up the hive and helping the queen.

Thanks, I tried to think of something less crazy.

Oh yeah I still believe she could be physical as well, or made herself physical. My theory covers the locust having all their roles etc, as this would be the same person who probably made humans, but now wants to get rid of them.

I really don't think she is human, the locust kill all humans and wouldn't take orders from one, unless she is manipulating them.(not showing her true self)

no, you didnt imply that, its just something ive heard alot, and i dont think its like that at all..... though i wouldnt dismiss the brain bug theory

[B00MxHeadshotx]

I think the Queen is sort of a God (or Goddess) to the Locust.

Serve the Queen!

[PossiblyANinjaHobo]

I think she's a sort of mythical, God-like creature described in ancient Locust legends or something, and the person talking is one of her priests or monks or something. She's not an actual Locust.

My Theory:

I believe the Locust Queen is Dr.Helen Cooper, the one who invented the way to use raw immulsion as energy. I believe the Locust felt threatened that their source (which is immuslion) was being taken from me, thats why they have waged the war

i have only one issue with that, if locust do infact kill all humans, i would figure the first theyd go after would be the woman responsible for them losing what is most precious to them

[bowleyjake]

female locust= beserker
so i believe thet the locust queen (if there is one) is a human.

[Joekicks02]

all i know is it better be a pretty sweet boss battle

but i think she is probably a little bigger than Raam and has a throne she sits on, just a shot in the dark

Yeah it's gotta be Helen Cooper, the Locust took her in and thought she could help get their immulsion back maybe? or she created the Horde?
