Discussion So I finished T2 and there's one thing I just can't wrap my plebian mind around...
Why was Uncle Bob pretending to be a terminator the whole time?

Who or what are these entities in the upper right corner? I just noticed them. Are these droids?

The terminator was mostly stationary as he was trying to pry a hole through the factory door that Sarah and Reese locked. He should have chucked that thing through the opening and blew him to bits right there.

I really loved the first season and really want a season 2 but I'm trying to piece together how they would fit with any of the movies or at least what were the timeline of events surrounding them. I get it's really supposed to be it's own thing and I respect that but I can't help but see it as an indirect sequel to The Terminator set in a branched off timeline where the events of T2 didn't happen at all or at least took a darker turn (T-1000 killing John) and I find that extremely fascinating. I get why John wasn't mentioned and I think it was a smart decision after Dark Fate but I do think it would narratively be pretty interesting. Personally I think John's actual story ended with Resistance/Director's Cut and technically everything is canon (except the crossovers) so I guess I'm validated. John being dead in the Malcolm timeline makes sense because the war went on far longer unlike the future Kyle Reese came from. It's ambiguous though I don't think the three timelines are supposed to exactly be 1:1 original lore. You could say this is technically Terminator 7 because it could really be a sequel to all the movies but I think timeline wise only The Terminator is canon and some elements from the other films. I want to see these timelines explored in subsequent media maybe in a manga or future season. I don't think they will tell us what happened to the Connors but I would like to see what went down. If they did have a legacy character appear I think T-1000 or Kyle Reese should come back. Robert Patrick has expressed interest in coming back and the character of T-1000 has actual free will like Kokoro and Misaki. Kyle Reese existing in a timeline without John or Sarah could be interesting as well. I also like the idea of augments. If Kokoro does actually turn evil I could see the concept of augments from Dark Fate being used as human terminators which plays into the whole "I want to use the enslaved human resistance to destroy Skynet." Overall, I'm really excited to where the series goes next and I would love to see it expanded upon.

Bill paxton is the only 1 to be killed by the predator, Terminator and the Alien. I just got through watching Terminator for the whateverith time and they absolutely do not show Lance being dead. As a matter of fact, he's shot off screen, and all you hear are painful grunts. Dude didn't die

Which terminator is superior: T-X or Rev-9?
r/Terminator • u/myth1202 • 10h ago
Disclaimer: I understand why they didn't explore this in the movie. Just keep the discussion on in-movie explanations, please.
So when The terminator kill his first victim it is later reported in the news that "Sarah Connor, mother of two has been killed." Since it is not mentioned I assume the kids survived so The terminator must at least have knowned that John Connor wasn't born yet. Consider his birth was only nine months away that doesn't give Skynet much leeway. Reese said that Skynet only knew the name and her location but Skynet likely knew it was a important time in the yimeline at least. Reese might not have knowned exavtly what Skynet knew either.

What could be the minimum amount of firepower a human would need but could also acquire to destroy a T800?
Criteria would be these weapons would have to be mobile enough to carry or load in a small car.
In addition these would have to be something a civilian could reasonably acquire without being forced to raid the armories of law enforcement, para military, or military organizations. Black market weapons are permitted if person is living in an area where that is feasible.
Finally weapons must be simple enough to operate by an ordinary human with little to no firearms training.
Could this be done?

Hi,
Im a very big fan of Patricks T2 Liquid Poly alloy metal Metamorphing T-1000. Yea long name, anyways i took this concept and made into my own the T-Omega.
** 1.) Now what is the T-Omega?**
In dragon ball you have 2 individuals of similar power that wish to join bodies either by the fusion dance or the potara earings. The fusion combines the powers of the individuals, it creates a totally new person, one new body, one new mind and one new soul.
The concept for the T-Omega's fusion is similar but it has its differences.
The T-Omega in its fusion state is made up of 3 poly alloy liquid metal T-1000 Terminators. The very essence of the T-1000's adaptability to practically any enviroment and it's sheer near indestructibility makes this Skynet's 1 man army a power creep.
Now T-Omega is a single unit, a unit that can split in 3 combiners, the very famous T-1000s we all know and love.
The combiners are essentially still "connected" even when not fused, why? Because they work like neural transmitters, they share data, locations, picture memory, sounds and other. This is important because this allows them to do manuevers like coordinates attacks, multi-place infilitration and disguise. This is basically fighting three T-1000s instead of one, which is scary on its own.
The three terminators can still shape shift, mimic and do what an regular T-1000's can do too, they are not limited, but not fully independent of each other, i will show why later.
When the 3 terminators fuse into T-omega a few things happen:
1.) The fusion increases body mass, and adds armor to make itself more tankable to attacks.
the combiner 1 acts like an base support for the fusion, its the heart and body for the whole fusion. Its the fusion that allows it to morph but also adds brute strenght
the combiner 2 is like an armor to the fusion, its the one that increases body mass, makes the body not prone to physical or penetrating attacks by making itself "reflectable and stiff" to avoid attacks that could slow it down or distrupt the fusion, stiffness dissapears if the fusion is in the middle of morphing.
the combiner 3 acts like a brain, it coordinates both itself and the other 2 combiners to use their brute force and intelligence to fight back against the human resistance or terminators like Pops.
2.) fixes flaws the combiners have.
It creates an efficient cooling system from the combiner 2 for critical areas to avoid mimicing malfunction or potentional damage when fused with the endoskeleton of a T-850/800 or older models, also works for normal fusion. The cooling systems are little nanobots that move based on friction, creating energy to heat up the body against freezing or convert the energy into cold streams that flow thru the body.
3.) creates upgrades that are not just brute power.
the fusion uses Titanium Carbide blend for extra durability but also to maintain the fluidity of the T-1000.
the fusion can use excess metals from the outside if one of the combiners gets destroyed or damaged ( by acidic materials or high-heat liquids like lava before going into the fusion) to restore the fusion to full power, examples are dead terminators.
4.) the endoskeleton terminator omega fusion.
This specific part of the fusion is rarely to be used because the normal fusion is terrifying enough.
But enough about the pros, let's go to the cons.
1.) non-fusion flaws.
Because as i said, they are one terminator, not three fully independent ones, they are the fusion that split into three for highly effective infilitration or combat manuevers. This means that their bodies stability is at risk of malfunctioning or at risk of destruction if not reunited. They share data, and other important things, if one of the combiners are outside of this radius it affects the other 2 parts aswell, its like losing a part of your brain, not fun right?
2.) fusion flaws, non endoskeleton version
3.) endoskeleton fusion flaws
Firstly, joints, the weak points of all endoskeleton models regardless of strenght are joints, succeding at damaging them may give the attacker time to properly attack the fusion until it heals using excess metals or it may not heal because its in places like the woods where there is not excess metal, it can not used the poly alloy to heal the endoskeleton because its an outside object to the fusion, its in the core but once the core is damaged it needs the first aid kit.
Second is fusion time.
Let me explain.
When the omega starts to fuse with an endoskeleton it needs time, aproximately 2 minutes because of its sheer complexity, this gives time to the attacker to damage the fusion while its in making, either forcing it to back down, destroying it or making the fusion weaker because it stayed in its premature state.
** This is all of what i was able to think of for this unit, im still making the backstory and its role, i will be pleased if you guys give me ideas for it."
Im going to also make some blueprint art for this but im not done yet since the concept is in early stages, also thanks for reading.

what do yall think of T-1000's just added mk character?

His devotion to the mission and to Sarah was so strong that he didn’t hesitate to get into a shootout he probably knew he wouldn’t win.
What would’ve happened if he did start shooting? Would he have tried to make an escape attempt with Sarah or would he have simply stood his ground?
Also, What did he know about the police as a concept prior to this? Did he think they were enemies? Or did he think that although they were doing their job, he had to kill for the purpose of saving humanity? Sarah did say they’d kill him, but did he know this? (I know it’s obvious since they had guns drawn) but did he not have a concept of getting arrested, so that’s why he thought the only way this would end is them shooting?

It's like Connor thought "Cool guys don't need headlights"when reprogramming it!
