that would be a prequel, not a sequel, friend

but i would crowdsource this

would it? What if the main plot of the movie is characters from after Terminator: Genisys going back in time to witness the events from the first time travel attempts?

As a commentor on Cracked.com posted (and it must be true. He said he's an expert).

The other two robots are made of/coated with "poly-MIMETIC alloy" - as in it 'mimics' human flesh.


Can someone check the math on that?

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

i seem to remember them saying the humans locked the time machine to not work with not flesh things because they didn't want robots using it and then the robots just removed the lock at some point???

It was to get around the inevitable question of why the Terminator didn't come back with future weapons or a nuke and had to scavenge for 80's weaponry.

now ive never actually seen these movies, but from what i understand it is something about how the time machine only works with living material so like cloth and stuff wont work.... but then the robot guy is made of metal so i dunno is it like living metal or what

Real talk, the particles get all broken down for transport only to be rearranged on the other end. throwing clothes & whatnot would lead to some unusual results

LOL, dun ended up 12 parsecs away, yo.

Although the wormhole exits at the specified time in the past it actually exists at all points between the point of travel and the destination. It has negligible mass so the gravity of the earth is enough to keep it rooted in the same place in three dimensional space.

Well sure, but what about the T-1000? He didn't have to search for clothes. And then that begs the question if the Time Machine scans for human genitalia.

we dont have weapons with flesh grown around them sent back through time because the timeline works out such that time travel is always a last-ditch effort by an about-to-lose-the-war skynet
presumably up until that point skynet is too unsure about whether it will work and not willing to take the risks or (since the timetravel time loop is cyclical) in every iteration the timing of events of the war just happen to match up such that time travel development is finished by skynet just as they are about to lose the war

and its possible that john connor in his lifetime could just as easily encounter a series of terminators sent back not even progressively more dangerous since its always a new skynet
he could get a t-800, t-800, t-600 (rubber skin), t-1000, t-800, t-600, t-x, t-800...
as long as john survives he is better positioned to directly learn from the experience meanwhile each skynet never necessarily has to even know its not the first skynet john connor has encountered terminators from

anyway its bullshit that sarah connor chronicles didnt get another season right when it got amazing

If a terminator went through the machine alongside a human; would they merge like in 'The Fly'?

And, if so, would the machine then know why we cry AND be able to do so?

Because the trees released a pheromone, which caused the center of the Earth to stop rotating, which induced birds to attack humans.
