The Predator: 8 Ridiculous Plot Holes That Make No Sense

1. Why Doesn't The Fugitive Predator Wear The Predator Killer Itself?

The film of course ends with the fugitive Predator's present to humanity being revealed: the Predator Killer Iron Man suit. But if the suit's so damn good at fighting Predators, why didn't the fugitive wear it itself once it arrived on Earth?

It knew the Ultimate Predator was on its way, so why not give itself the best possible chance of repelling its attack, rather than risk being killed before it had time to inform the humans about the weapon, which is exactly what happened?

You could argue that a) the Predator is an honourable creature and wouldn't want to "cheat" to beat the Ultimate Predator or b) the suit was tailor-made for humans to wear, but they're ultimately both pretty damn flimsy attempts to hang a lampshade over a movie with no consistent logic.
