The arnold lookalike in T:S is crap. What a joke. Btw, T800 endo looks bigger in T:S than on T1 though. Anyone know what's up with the different in scale?

And HOW would it know that if they haven't invented time travel until 2027?
And how would Skynet know that Kyle Reese is the father of John Connor to target him as number 1 on the kill list? Why didn't Skynet simply kill Kyle Reese when he was captured?

Insufferable S.O.B.
The Skynet in Salvation seems to be aware of the events, which is why they had Arnold T-800 attack John. Maybe the T-X may have uploaded information when she programed the early unit prototypes? As for not killing Reese, just a dumb moment in the film.

Here's some answers from McG: Posted here originally
https://screenrant.com/mcg-asnwers-some-terminator-salvation-plot-questions-kofi-10690/
Q: In the earlier movies, Skynet is not aware of Kyle Reese. So, why are they aware of him now?
McG: It’s a function of their recon during the dark period, and a function of their awareness of the events that had happened since Kyle Reese traveled back. By virtue of John Connor being alive, that means Kyle Reese did meet Sarah Connor and impregnate her. That data exists, and was brought into the fold at Skynet.
Q: If Kyle Reese had been killed in “Salvation,” what would’ve happened to John Connor? Would he simply cease to exist?
McG: Will he be erased in the photograph, like in “Back to the Future”? That’s an excellent question that theorists have been bandying about for the ages. We play it more simply. Kyle Reese must be kept alive, so he can be sent back in time from 2029 to protect Sarah Connor, impregnate her and she’ll give birth to John Connor who will save us all. And the simplest way to understand that is to protect the triangle of Kyle, John and Sarah. Any deconstruction of that leads to more headache than satisfaction.
Q: How come lava melted a T-800 in “T2,” but it doesn’t in “Salvation”?
McG: That’s not lava. There are different characteristics of molten steels, and that was an earlier steel process after it had been separated from the coke. We went over this with a metallurgist, discussing which metals burn at which degrees. And also, if it had stayed on [the T-800], perhaps it would’ve melted him, but it was frozen quickly enough by the [liquid nitrogen]. Plus, we make the transition from the molten metal to the cooling property so quickly — as a function of the T-800 being on [John] Connor — that it wouldn’t have had time to melt the existing titanium exoskeleton in time.
Q: When Marcus is inside Skynet and learning about how he was created, the visage of Dr. Serena Kogan mentions that he’s managed to do something that none of the other Terminators have been able to. Is Skynet aware of the alternate futures and other events that have taken place?
McG: Skynet is aware of the alternate futures, and the way that we play it is in the spirit of parallel worlds, as theorized by Einstein. We try to pay attention to that approach to a fundamentally theoretical construct. So yes, they are aware of the other attempts on the life of John Connor, and they’ve always subscribed to a bigger-gun philosophy, from the T-800 to the T-1000 to the TX. Now they’ve decided to bring in a machine with enough humanity in it to properly infiltrate the Resistance and lure John Connor to their lair. That’s why Serena speaks of thinking differently, thinking radically.
Q: At the end of the film, is John Connor ever made aware that Marcus was an infiltration unit? Or does the secret die with him?
McG: That’s an interesting question. But I think it’s of very little consequence. What Connor is focused on [at the end of the movie] is that Marcus did come through for him and Kyle Reese. It wasn’t clear, when he gave his word at the riverside, whether that was an example of Skynet using the best of ourselves against us…his action transcends the question, if you follow me.
I hope this helps clarify things

I wish ChaserFan could show us the full version of those leaked pictures since they were all cropped but he lost the memory card they were on. So we gotta wait.
My only complain is who's in charge for the script?
JC: What are you?!
Marcus: *while swimming* I don't know..
WTF?!
And why couldn't they just kill kyle, the minute they got him? And when connor finally made it up to skynet, why couldn't they just lure him into a gas chamber and kill him? ^^^^ just doesn't make sense.

The editing was crap too.

hopefully the DC of T:S will clean up the mess, if not, Then I think we'll need to send back a T-800 to kill McG to abort the mess he made
Hyrdobot without question now.
And before anyone asks, I've looked over the white background shots in this montage, and none of them appear to be the exact same shots as the leaked ones, so if you want to see those, visit the ToyWorld links posted around here, but for now SSF will continue it's no posting policy.

Just re watched T:S, and I noticed that the swat team costume comes with a pretty sweet backpack.
I can't remember other than the PDA device because that stood out to me having Sony written on it. And unfortunately, it'll still be another 3 months before I see T:S again on DVD.
They used the alternate future idea to make it 'look cooler' cause Laing sucks at plausible design. Everything in that movie exists to look cool, not to be believable.
The T-X uploaded the real Skynet program with all of its knowledge when it accessed the internet by phone to find John's Lieutenants. That's what the virus was that suddenly started to take over. It just needed CSR to give it full access at that point.
Evil's got it right with the Kyle answer.
You know I think a T1 'Arrival Arnold' would make a good sculpture, plus it could be considered 'Art' cause it'd be a sculpture of a naked guy
That would be excellent, actually. And if his package is an issue, the statue could be of him still in his crouched position with his fists on the ground.

Whay are the pics so small?
Because he's doing teases and he's just showing how many photos he's snapped of the figure, and actually probably even more.
I'm fine with it, there's no detail but we get confirmation of the Hydrobot and the T-600 base.
