Rumor: Skorge predator playable in Gears 2 mp

With yesterday's release of the latest Gears of War 2's video featurette "Weapons of War", we got a glimpse of an evil, staff wielding, predator-looking Locust baddie which is known around the Gears community as the "Skorge". He's a total "badass" Locust that any Gears loving fanboy would probably be honored to use as a character in multiplayer. A wish that just may come true.
The screen you see above was grabbed from the latest video featurette and showcases a portrait icon (sourced from the top left of the screen) that depicts the other team's leader. And (big surprise) it looks eerily familiar to a certain Skorge. Is this confirmation of the Skorge predator in Gears 2 multiplayer? Not exactly, but it does make a good case for his multiplayer appearance.

This must be the other multiplayer character they said would be revealed soon. The guy who's supposed to make Raam look like a pussy.

Looks like General RAAM with hair.

Could be a "boss" in Horde mode.

Maybe he's the "meatflag".

Hopefully it will be you can acquire the skin by beating the game on the hardest difficulty...kind of like how the 'Special Ops' skin was unlocked for MP in Resistance:Fall of Man which I thought was a great idea.

maybe a multiplayer mode similar to the halo 3 "juggernaut" gametype. ie: one or two players are very powerful and all the rest of the others have to take him down. round over, alternate the "predator" to the next players. would be an interesting gametype.

I think think the "skorge" is reference to the skarjj in the Unreal series (not tournament or championship)
They look highly similar, see for yourself:
