Love the T-1000, badass as one can get!

Like the T-800 more because of the Endo, but T-1000 is more frightening in appearance..
 
The only reason I'm not a huge fan of the 1000 is it isn't as believable in the real world and the 800. Not nearly. It is a bit too fantasy for me since it is based on no such real technology like a robot, or even a cyborg could be. That, and the effects difference between the early CG effects of the 1000 and the silver painted physical 1000 were too obvious to ignore.

The concept, for what it was, was used great, and the character is very cool. But, despite the crappy movie, I like the T-X better since it still employs an endoskeleton, and it's a hot chic. I like the poly alloy better as an improvement over cyborg skin, not as a total creature all itself.

If anything, I like to think of the 1000 as being more advanced than the T-X.

Yeah I agree that he seems far too advanced, although wasn't it your idea about him comprising alien technology? That actually seems the most plausible explanation. And I was always convinced that the 1000 was more advanced than the TX, even though the film audience were clearly intended to think otherwise.

Anywho despite this, I voted, obviously, that hes a badass. Robert Patrick really nailed the role and I too am a big fan, majorly hoping for NECA and Hot Toys to make him in their respective lines.
 
Random but true, but only sometimes.

Yeah, that was my way of making it plausible. Alien technology can be accepted as an explanation for lots of stuff that doesn't seem truly possible. And since I have no idea if aliens do exist, but they certainly could, so too can the 1000 from that point of view.

Otherwise, I like to think that Skynet isn't designing random advancements to kill mankind, but turning mankind's machines against him. The T-800 was Cyberdyne's design after all.
 
From the tech available now the T-1000 is just minituarised versions on a massive scale.

Thats with a electric current being run through it.

Modular Robots

There's the essence of the T-1000 today. It doesn't seem quite so far fetched.

The T-X always seemed like a step back in the evolution as well. It's endo-skeleton limited so much more to it's pouring and squeezing through areas.

Plus the T-1000 being able to take on anyform could also be a Hot Chick whenever it wanted ;)

seems like the TX being able to form energy weapons and cutting tools with moving parts is a pretty good trade off for not being able to squeeze through a keyhole.

The T-1000 is a prototype... which suggests its technology is meant to be applied, not fielded as it is. My personal belief is that the T-1000's mission was a field test.

Whereas the T-X was built for a specific purpose - to terminate machines, hence it's arsenal of inbuilt nanotech weapons, combined with mimetic polyalloy as an exoskeleton.

T-1000 is basically raw technology...

What's the purpose of humanoid Terminators from the 600 series onwards? Basically infiltration units - disguised with the intended ability to blend in with humans. The evolution actually makes a bit of sense:

T-600: rudimentary endoskeleton, ineffective rubber skin
T-800: refined endoskeleton, perishable flesh disguise
T-1000: prototype technology fielded as a functional model
T-X: advanced endoskeleton, in-built weapons, applied mimetic polyalloy skin - almost infinitely versatile and restorable disguise

And no, I don't think the concept of mimetic polyalloy is that far off... it's basically nanotechnology infused with alloy, each atom a thinking, working machine that communicates with one another, actively changing rigidity as required.

Damn, I feel so geeky...
