It makes some sense as Prime's final form looks like a Core X. Also there is MP's form changing.

Prime is not related to the X...Prime eats X... and Phazon...
Anyway, Prime's final form looks more like a Hunter Metroid that's on steroids and lost its hard outter shell.

However....what happens when you expose the X to Phazon?

I think that somehow an X got exposed to Phazon, and then was able to take over a Metroid because of the mutagenic effects. Then it advanced the Metroid's evolution, resulting in Metroid Prime. It later absorbed Space Pirate tech resulting in Metroid Prime's first form. Then after Samus did her thing it reverted to it's true form, a Core X of some sort. Then it tried to effect Samus, but was only able to absorb her suit's Phazon, allowing it to replacate her suit after recuperating a bit. So Dark Samus would be Phazon Sa-X. This is theoretical, but I think it's possible.

Don't forget that the X weren't discovered until Samus killed off all of the Metroids on SR-388. An event that took place after she saved Aether...

Also, how could the X get from SR-388 to Tallon IV in the first place?

I have no idea. That's a problem with my theory.

The Metroid Prime had no need for X parasites to get a copycat of Samus's form. It stole the phazon suit from her, acquiring all the necessary stuff to fully mimic Samus. No X-parasites required.

Furthermore, it is likely to have been like Samus was in Metroid fusion to X Parasites: Immune to their disease and likely to absorb them.

If anything, one would wonder what sort of coincidences were involved, and how cool it'd be for SA-X to fight Dark Samus.

What I would find awesome is a three way battle between Samus, SA-X, and Dark Samus...

the tallon IV metroids were brought in by the space pirates, and the ones in the crater were possibly brought in by the chozo to get rid of the Phazon by absorbing it but they evolved into fission metroids and Metroid Prime.

Maybe the Chozo who visited SR-388, discovering the X, brought some to Tallon to study in some sort of secure, X-proof lab. They couldn't excape. These studies eventually developed the Metroid. Possibly the Chozo sent most of the Metroids to SR-388 for further study. However the X broke out of the containment chambers and killed the Chozo within. The lab was locked down, but there was no way to destroy the X. The lab was forgotten and the X survived. Tnen, one day the Phazon asteroid hit, decimating the lab. The X where changed and assimilated the last surviving Metroid. Then, Metroid Prime was created.

The space pirates are the ones who stick highly dangerous things in tubes to see if they could make an army out of it. The Chozo were going for a totally different peace and harmony thing where they didn't spend their time messing with radioactive materials and conquering planets. I don't think they'd bring the X over anywhere.

But they did create the metroids (Fusion manual). So I believe it is possible.

In the Chozo Language, Metroid means Warrior...

Oh yeah, they didn't come out and say that actually. But it was implied.

Well, I'll be damned.

I would not have guessed that the Chozo were behind the creation of Metroids. That's what I get for not buying Metroid Fusion and instead downloading it illegally. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Still, you have to keep in mind a number of things:

</font>
  1. The wise Chozo don't seem the type to take the creation of life forms lightly. Metroid were probably a last resort to take out the X.</font>
  2. The Metroid probably weren't bad when the Chozo were around. I mean, in Super Metroid it was shown that Metroids can be downright loyal. Could the Chozo have done the same with the X?</font>
  3. If the X were so bad that the Chozo created an entire race of creature to destroy them, why would they bring them over and cultivate them in labs?</font>
  4. If the Chozo created metroids, why would they need to study them? And they couldn't have sent metroids there for "further study" if they were already there, designed for the purpose of exterminating the X.</font>
Your theory is implausible.

Metroids are only loyal to thoes that are present at thier birth.

Another thing, No X can absorb Metroid DNA. Metroids Absorb them and break them down for energy.

The Chozo wanted to study the Metroids as a peaceful energy source.

they created them but they probably never realized that they are capable to be used as an energy source.

#1 is irelevant, #2 is irrelvant, #3 however is a good point. #4 they may have wanted further testing on how the Metroids would perform on SR-388. As for the X not being able to assimilat Metroids, the Phazon changed them so they could. For 3, they needed to get them to the labs so they could study them to find there weaknessess, so they could make the Metroids able to destroy them.

If you can create a life form, chances are you understand what makes them up pretty damn well.

That bit about SR-388? Since SR-388 was home of the X, and since the Metroids were created to drive out the X, that means that the Metroids were probably created on SR-388.

The Chozo were so wise that they could see into the future. They aren't bringing the X anywhere.
