Thargoid-ified human “zombies” has actually been pretty high up the speculation list ever since the abductions were introduced into the story. Some people are more pessimistic than others in what it will end up looking like (in terms of their visual appearance) but a lot think that would be what is given as the on-foot AX experience (but I doubt it would be unless they find some way to make it significantly different from the regular Odyssey combat feature against humans… and even then it would get flak for not being real Thargoids).
Not that I’d have any actual expectation that we are going to see live Thargoid drones walking around in this game, but maybe they’ll surprise us.
And in response to Shg - yes, my RP for my character does include a connection to the Thargoid hivemind, which is why I am paying close attention to these recent developments. I already have ideas but the realities of the world mean I’m a bit behind on the writing when it comes to logbook entries. (Which is not a subject particularly for the game talk thread)
