[Alien] would the Xenomorphs even care about a synthetic?

The movies prove that they’re typically after human hosts so they can either kill them or use them as fodder to increase their numbers.

There's examples of them both ignoring and attacking synthetics, though the latter was a Queen who had already demonstrated higher intelligence.

That said, all the xenomorphs may have that same higher intelligence, just different priorities. For example, even if the Queen somehow "gave the order" to cut the base power in *Aliens*, the Drones still carried that order out. It is likely that, since the primary purpose of Drones is to defend the hive and expand its breeding facilities, they simply see no reason to concern themselves with a synthetic unless they perceive it as threatening the hive.

The Queen, on the other hand, was seeking revenge when she attacked Bishop. Could Drones also seek revenge under the right circumstances? Hard to tell. The lone Drone in *Alien* decides not to attack Ripley in the shuttle at the end, and that seems to be because either it's too tired at the moment or it wants to preserve her as the only living host it knows about.
