What's the difference between Arnold's model, he was the T-800 right? and the T-888. Was he a triple 8 in T-3? I'm lost, lol. Thanks in advance. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Arnold played a T-800 in Terminator 1 and 2, and an upgraded T-850 in Terminator 3. The T-888s in the new series are a new model. Do you find this valuable?

Ok, thanks! So, heres another blonde question, what is the difference, just a nother upgrade or a new model all together? Do you find this valuable?

I think the T-850 is just a normal T-800 with some upgrades (possibly added by the resistance, the difference wasn't made clear in the film). Do you find this valuable?

The T-850 had 2 hydrogen power cells iirc and probably better armored, the T-888 has 3 cpu's, we don't know what else yet except it seems to have the ability to send/recieve some form of wireless signals over a long range. Do you find this valuable?

The T-850 also had an advanced CPU, including psychology sub-routines.

In addition, the T-850 had upgrades made to its "skin" to allow easier access to internal components.

Why is Skynet sending back the T800 series and not the T1000 as seen in T-2? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

T-1000 was a prototype. it was just in testing and i guess they decided that it was ineffective compared to the others.

Skynet didn't trust the T-1000 or the T-X.

They were powerful Terminators that were a threat not only to John Connor, but Skynet as well.

What makes you think that? Because they didn't make any morE?

Not made up, more like repeated.

This has been stated on other Terminator sites. Whether canon is debatable. I repeated it here so you can form your own conclusions, which, evidenlty you have! :-)

Hey, that is what the Terminator is all about. Trying to keep up with all the new changes and thinking about why and what next?
His answer might be made up, but it sounds good.

No, LiquidMetal didn't make it up.

One of the web sites, in particular, that talks about the danger T-1000 poses to Skynet is the GoingFaster web site. I've seen it on another one as well.

The mass that the T-1000 could dedicate to AI functions is much larger than that of any of the terminators that came before. This meant that the T-1000 was more capable of being self-aware and of having self-will than its predecessors. It also doesn't have a Read-Only switch, unlike the T-800 in T2 and was the only one ever made because it was so dangerous. The T-1000 was essentially a mini-Skynet. Skynet had "images" of itself spread over the hundreds of pieces of hardware in existence, and the T-1000, also, would have had "images" of itself spread over its nanomachines.

Programming a liquid metal shape-shifting terminator would be much harder than programming the solid endoskeleton ones.

Skynet included special mechanisms, which I would call "mental blocks" to prevent terminators from turning against it. These mental blocks would filter out any thoughts that might lead to a terminator turning on its master. Mental blocks would have been easier to implement in the earlier terminators than the T-1000, due to its fluid nature, its dynamic, ever-changing structure and greater AI-supporting mass.

The T-X was less dangerous than the T-1000 because just like the earlier solid-state endoskeleton terminators, control rested in the chip in its skull.

Web sites that talk about the dangers of the T-1000 say pretty much what I and LiquidMetal have told you, though I will admit that I have, actually expanded on the idea with my own imagination.

But Canon or not.....It's out there.

LiquidMetal and I aren't the only ones who have the theory in our heads, it's just that a lot of us here have spent more time focusing on TSCC.

There are a lot of wacky theories. I'm not trying to insult anyone. But I'd think it's a good idea to make clear that it is just a fan made up theory, and not state it as a fact.

Anyway I think a more plausible theory is that those super-advanced units are simply very complicated to produce. Skynet doesn't have unlimited resources. And their cost effectiveness isn't worth it.
