T-1000 is One Bad Ass?

[FACEBOX]

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...

Atom? Wow!
I was with you until you said that.

Maybe microscopic, to the point of the size of maybe a virus?

Who the ^^^^^* said the TX was better.. The tx is a far fetched piece of ugly crap..(yes, i know t1000 is but nowhere near as bad as tx.)

The T-X could rape you... and then control you

 

[Endomania]

The tx is non existent to me.. In my opinion, Its a bad design and doesn't belong in the Terminator Franchise.. Its an awful awful bastard

ok. if skynet can make molecule-sized machines, then what is the point of making them all glob together into a big machine so it can look like people?
why not just use them as a human killing virus?

and in any case, "infusing them with alloy" would make it impossible to use the time displacement thingy.

the movie said it was better.

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.

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

Very nifty videos. I can totally buy into the 1000 now.

 

[hardstyle lover]

t-1000 kick's ass!

 

[Kaijuboy]

Holy crap nuggets! Those videos are

Wow, for the first time ever, I can actually see the T-1000 as a plausable thing...

But it still shouldnt have been able to go through the time machine...

a virus is a far more complicated thing than a non-biological machine. machines can't breed, can't mutate, can't alter DNA structures. if the T-1000 can't form complicated machines like guns and explosives, i don't see how it can function the way a virus does.

what it can do however is mimic very well

it can mimic the shape, color and texture of multiple materials - skin, hair, fabric, the floor, only on surface level... so if it can make its surface take on the physical appearance of human flesh, then using the time machine isn't that far off

my theory (backed by the info on the t2 ultimate edition dvd) is that the t-1000 is comprised of advanced nanobots which collectively generate a kind of energy field similar to the so-called "field created by all living beings" that kyle reese spoke of in t1, thus allowing the t-1000 to pass thru the time displacement equipment...

Or as Kyle said "I'm not good with Tech stuff..." he may have misheard or misunderstood the technician or something along those lines

or (most likely) james cameron forgot/couldn't be arsed about his own "rules" that he laid down in t1, just so he could have the liquid metal t-1000 travel thru time in t2.

viruses by definition are incredibly simple organisms. and a mass of artificial microbes don't need to breed or "alter dna" to kill you.
it just has to destroy enough if the right kind of cells to do the job. all that takes is removing or attaching en extra molecule to it.
if your theory posits that skynet is advanced enough to utilize nanotechnology, then why are you drawing the arbitrary line at whether it can behave like a virus?

in any case, the T1000 couldn't form complicated machines because it wasn't nanotech anyway. it was liquid metal.
and looking like a person isn't the same thing as being organic living tissue. it's still metal - the chemistry is too different.

don't hate me

i just like movies, games and toys

 

[ENDO-HUNTER]

I like the T-X better. The T-1000 is a badass for sure but I just like the design of the T-X much more.
