Yeah. The T-1000 was able to scan by touch. Besides, if Skynet has John Connor's DNA on file, couldnt it use technology to construct what his face would look like at any age it wanted? If so, then why did the T-1000 have to get a photo of John if Skynet has his DNA on file and can find out what he looks like.We can do it nowadays, so why cant skynet?

i do not think you can tell what a person looks like as in exact facial impression from a dna sample? facial features can also be affected by external features, ie if a person is stressed out a lot they get wrinkled and have bags under their eyes and sunken cheek bones or the person may be fat or chubby due to eating and not because of a genetic reason know what i mean. i dont think we can have a facial feature just by dna now, however you can match up dna to certain things like hair color and skin color right now perhaps not sure there.

Yeah, but this is a sentient supercomputer far more advanced than anything we can possibly imagine. So I think it could compensate for that

i dont know scientifically if u can compute facial features though from dna, i mean i dont know if its possible even in the future. Like cloning a entire person from a hair follicle just one cell sample that is. But from a fantasy standpoint sure Skynet maybe able to do that.

well t-1000 is better in some ways and T-x is better in some ways but who will win depends upon who gets the oppurtunity to use its power first.

Quite possibly. Also the T-X doesnt conform to the other terminators for one simple reason: lorries. They ALWAYS steal lorries or tankers. Sure the T-X stole a crane, but you cant compare a crane to a lorry tanker carrying something nasty (fuel, liquid nitrogen etc). She had a great oppurtinity to steal a lorry, the drive had even ran off (i was waiting for her to kill him when he came over to help, but neither of that happened so i was disappointed)

haha the trucks eh, yeah always those damn trucks around, but if she did that..it would be literally the same thing again would n it, this time she should stole a mclaren f1 or something and crashed it into them.

*Murray Walker voice* "And Michael Schumacher and Mikka Hakkinen are vying for the lead, the race is almost over, who is going to win this epic tournament- oh look! Theres another car on the track! Well I havent a clue as to who it is but its gaining speed, oh my god! A blue bolt of energy has just blown up Mikka Hakkinen! And the car is approaching Michael Schumacher, and-a burst of flame has just incinerated him! And it looks like the race goes to the mystery driver! What the-? A helicopter has just crashed into the car, oh lord, the medics are going to have a field day with this one! We'll be back after the break"

exactly see doesnt that sound cooler!!

Better still, she steals a lorry which is in the middle of transporting formula one cars! So if the lorry is disabled, she runs around to the back, and steals one of the cars. OR better still, uses her pointy thingy and sends loads of them after arnie

u like them lorries dont ya!!! but yeah that would be cooler, the only reason why i suggest a sports car was, a lorry is so slow compared and isnt agile enuff, with a sport car she could catch up crash the car into arnie and john etc or use her flame thrower etc

Yeah, but lorries plow through anything and make fantastic explosions when they are destroyed

their slow though...a nice sports car with racing fuel isnt that a perfect catalyst for nice intense explosion, i like the idea of a truck carrying some racing cars and tx uses nano to send all the cars chasing after them ....budget goes way up though with wrecking the sports cars.

Id love to see a terminator break into a military base and steal a tank

iwas actually gonna suggest that but the point of the plot is john and arnie running from another terminator, a tank would be to slow to chase them though unless its a scene where arnie and john are in a building and the terminator has stashed a tank nearby and fires at it while charging at the building or something.

Hmm, tanks can go around 45mph these days so they arent painfully slow. They could have a scene where arnie and the heroes are trying to get through really thick traffic during rush hour and the tank is after them, crushing cars underneath it and taking potshots at them

yeah that would have been cool then again if the terminator is chassing them and they are stuck in traffic she could just run after them jumping over each car 🙂 i am sure they thought about the tank or the exotic cars it was probably cheaper to crash an ol crane. Was still a great scene though!

i think it wud hav been kewl if the txs endoskeletan was made of liquid alloy as well.

yep but then critics would have said that even the bad terminator was a copy from terminator 2. u cant stop critics from finding complaints from somewhere or the other.

since terminators are cybernatic organisms, i think the terminator for t3 should have been a regular terminator but been able to inject its nano bots into humans and turning them into cyborgs as well, for those of u guys who know and love star wars yes i am refering to the borg. The tx really was very creative from a production standpoint, polymorphic outter layer with a inner seketal structure. Thats it
T2 saw real creativity with the t1000
