Hot Toys - DX13 - T2: T-800 (Battle-Damaged Version) 1/6-scale Collectible Figure

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, that sounds great - if I had an endless supply of cash, I'd buy it. I'm just trying to stick to my budget though, & still get the key pieces. I think I'm doing ok so far.

That said - Arnold looks much scarier in the first movie after his face gets busted up - as opposed to T2 BD, so the figure would kick major aiss.

I love the whole "GHETT OUTTE" scene when he steals the trailer

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah - absolutely. I was going to use that quote in my last post actually..

It almost feels as though T1 T-800 would wipe the floor with T2 baby sitter T-800.

They both were the same exact Endo's, but muscle mass wise T1 Arnie looked way bigger in the 1984 film. He was still built like Mr. Olympia and it was the exact physique Cameron wanted for the T-800.

T2 Arnie was still big but he looked a lot smaller and older, they waited too long to do the film. But the technology wasn't available to do it sooner. I still can't believe what they were able to pull off over 20 years ago, along with Jurassic Park which to this day still is a marvel of CGI.

Films like T2 and Jurassic Park combine a perfect blend of the old technology with the new which is why I think they can still hold up today.

And it was NEEDED CGI, not a lazy studio that doesn't want to produce tangible effects by hand. It was a perfect balance of CGI and practical effects.

Stan Winston is God.

 

[stshammgod]

Yes, a LOT of places now don't understand NEEDED CGI vs. the typical BUDGETARY CGI.

Sad really.

I hope they revisit the T1 franchise.

We need the Police Station version... 1/6 DX....

Hoping for this, as well. Police Station assault Arnie is maybe the most iconic of all the versions to me. Definitely him at his meanest.

After DX-13, all I'm really after to be honest.. is a revisit of the 1:6 Endo.

Endo's the only other figure I'd want (Reese is tempting because I really liked the character, but not sure what he'd add to a display in that context... 3 Arnies, an Endo and Reese... dunno if that works). That'd bring it to 4 and all the most iconic looks. I'd be happy with that configuration on a shelf, for sure.

Police Shootout in 1/6

Yesssss! FTW, Jimmie!!!

I speculate that MMS200 will be police shootout T-800.

If it isn't, I'll eat my hat.


Or a bagel, whatever.

Police Shootout will be a DX I think.

Sure hope this comes to pass and I agree a DX would be the best format, so long as they don't go kinda stingy like they did with clean T-800... although if they do I guess I'm still buying it!

You're doing great, but I still think you'll fold like a cheap tent if a police assault T-800 comes out, Vintij!

Yeah, I know all that.. but that wasn't what I meant.

My point, was that T1 was sent / programmed to acquire & kill it's target efficiently - & nothing else. T2 was sent as a protector & had more scope to work WITH humans, not just against them, & so would inevitably have a few 'chinks in the armour' for the T1 to exploit.. if you take my meaning - so while he still could match T1 in strength etc, his other mission priorities would render him perhaps open to the T1's relentless disregard for anything other than killing.

I still can't believe what they were able to pull off over 20 years ago, along with Jurassic Park which to this day still is a marvel of CGI.

Totally! I still consider them hugely important benchmarks & really are unsurpassed.

The 1984 T-800 in the first Terminator got up out of the police car in the garage and ran away when the cops came instead of pursuing Sarah and Kyle Reese further (who were only a few feet away).


Your argument is invalid.


Uncle Bob would kick the 1984 T-800s *** because 1. He's the good guy and 2. the script would call for it.

I like that. If it weren't bound by movie requirements to have the hero win, thats how it could play out.

Although it could also simply come down to where they end up having their final battle. Conveniently in T1 and T2 the heroes found themselves in environments where there happened to be things that could destroy the villain - the compressor in T1 and the lava-pit in T2. I doubt there was anything at the Galleria that could have saw the T-1000 to its doom. And unless there was a stockpile of major explosives and bazookas at the police station in T1 there was nothing there that could have seen off the first T-800. So where the fight would take place could be important in a T1 T-800 VS T2 T-800 battle.

Yeah that part still doesn't make much sense to me. His target was but a few feet away and held at gunpoint by an armada of cops who knew no better. He could have easily killed her there and after having done so it wouldn't matter what happened to him.

Actually that'd be really interesting to see. What would the T-800 do in that scene if he did kill Sarah. Would he bother to defend himself against Reese and/or the cops? Or maybe kinda like the TX he would have had a bunch of other targets.

Either shut down completely (to advance/further Skynet's existence with that endoskeleton) or maybe "Rampage Mode", where it just shoots down any human that it comes into contact with before being subdued (which would result in scenario one anyway).

 

[Invictus Sol]

I think while T1 terminator would have an advantage in being single-minded, T2 would have a creative advantage, since they removed the inhibitor chip. Think T2 would come out on top, to be honest.

Remastered Terminator just arrived at my door from Amazon!

 

[DiFabio]

I think the first Terminator was able to learn as well. He uses the "**** you *******" line that it picked up from that punk afterall.

Was it ever stated that the T-800s had a self destruct mechanism? I honestly don't think Skynet would want a 21st century cyborg being found by 1980's humans. Although, without that Skynet would not come to be anyway

Both good points. But the T1 T-800 just used snippets of dialogue for him to at least somewhat seem human.

T2 T-800 was modified to pick up on Human traits and was much more personable. And the fact his chip was removed he was able to think for himself and make his own decisions albeit still being programmed to protect John.

Nah.. I'm just looking at things 'outside' the parameters of what the films imply..

..& there we are.

Here's we - the fan, get kicked in the b@ll$.

He got blown up, and rightfully so... T3... ew.
