Would there really be any logic in seeing a fourth Terminator model that, on paper, appears to be a more advanced model than any of the previous Terminators we have seen?
I think it would be far more logical (and interesting) to see the growth of Skynet and what kind of form Skynet takes in terms of "hardware" (e.g. will it be contained in a metal endoskeleton or within a PC that sits on a desktop that runs off Windows XP?)
Enough of all these different Terminator models. It's finally time to see what the dude itself (Skynet) looks like, and how it creates/controls the bad ass army of cyborgs that try to eradicate mankind!
I don;t think there will be a new one. Best guess maybe a whole army of endo T-800s or other models of the T-800. Or maybe they can create the head of Arnold by computer.
Because when the T-X went through time, Connor was already dead, but they had won the war. (they were close to victory in 2029 already). T-X was the most advanced (but I found T-1000 more efficient), but Skynet was down, so how can there be a more advanced Terminator?
Samas-adian - Don't worry about it! So - do you have any thoughts on a new Terminator model?
Zero - I hope to see both an army of T-800's PLUS a new model. After all, many people used your logical argument about skynet being defeated in 2029 to explain why there couldn't possibly be a model to follow the T-1000! But there was! So anything's possible...
But Arnie's head computerised? Erm, no. Just... no.
Okay, the third Terminator should have been a refinement of the T-1000 technology ie, a liquid metal creature that is more intelligent and can morph faster and to a greater extent. The T-1000 did that cool thing at one point in the helicopter where it sprouted an additional pair of arms 😎 but it was unable to gain eight limbs and move like a spider.
That would have bridged the gap to my blueprint for the fourth which can convert to a vaporous form and can interpret brainwaves.
Arnold - it is possible to read someones mind to a certain extent using no technology, all that is required is to know them well and have an extensive knowledge of body language.
Shaber - A vapor, huh? That's a cool idea. I'm not sure about that "multiple arm" feature though...
And I see what you're saying about reading a person's mind - but surely body language can only tell you so much? And this new terminator will probably not have an extensive knowledge of many people...
Oh, and it's "Ahnold", not "Arnold", thank you very much!
Skynet advanced so far in the eleven years from when it built the T-400s (oh please!) to when it manufactured the T-1000s 😎 Surely it would soon be able to programme a very wide knowledge of different human temperaments into a terminator so that it can decide whether they're the sort of person to eg move their legs in a sexual/aggressive/defensive manner?
And what precisely is wrong with the multiple limbs faculty? 😒 It would be able to move much faster as a result. An improvement on the T-1000 would be a liquidine creature that can move with greater fluidity.
Since we're talking about a new Terminator model...
A Terminator that can burn/melt things simply by touching them with its hands would be kinda cool. Like not everything the Terminator touches would burn, simply things it wants to burn/melt.
And the name for this new model would be T-GF (Terminator-Guy Fawkes).
how about the T-1500?
Since the t-1000 was a protype this would be a final versian. the difference b/w t-1000 and the t-1500. the t-1000 was liquid metal that could form simple blade weapons. the T-1500 is liquid metal that would have a set of preprgramed configurations of more complex weapons. such as a plasma cannon and stuff.
why would this be any different that the T-X?
no endo skeliton. and i guess the recovery delay would be fixed.
the only flaw i see is that we, and john would already know how to defeat him.
