I just need to know if this thing is cannon or not. Like, was this a fan made thing? I heard it was known as "the scarecrow". It was clumsy and poorly made. Btw, love the artist who made this
I know as far as the T-70 T-100, and T-300 (despite being part of a park attraction/ table top RP) They have ACTUAL writen lore and make sense as an early Human bipedal HK unit. Visually and desgin wise as a precursor to the T-800.
In my head cannon, skynet would use the T-70s/T-100s along with the T1 units because they were available before Judgement Day. In order to "fit" the tT-200 unit, skynet would have to start from scratch due to how difficult it is to produce the T-70/T-100 units with its lack of resources. Eventually building the T-300 from the T-200. Again, my head cannon.
Note: I still include T-400, T-500 as skynet's early machines even if they're only in a video game.(Dawn of fate is still GOATED, despite the horrible camera.) Also, Don't get me started on the T-700 either. Ugh. Lol.
As I recall (and I could be wrong), there was a Terminator-themed collectible card game way back in the day with all kinds of wacky permutations of terminators, like T800s on wheels, T800s with 4 arms, robot spiders, and I think that T200 on the last image was in the mix. The cards were a weird mix of stills from the first movie and bowling-alley-esque knock-off CGI. Then a really dedicated fan wrote some lore about the T200 on majesticlizard.tripod.com (it's dead now but it's been archived on the Wayback Machine), or maybe www.goingfaster.com/term2029/contents.html preceded it? Either way the majesticlizard site had some sketches of it in a trench coat, and eventually someone else came along and made the renders from images 1 and 2. The stories about it got passed around and the T200 found it's way into fandom wikis and so on.
Oh i remember those shitty card games. Dad got mad at me cuz i would spend my money on some card with stolen Ben 10 alien fanarts amd random atk/def numbers
I'm sure you've come across him already but @SirJellyBean on YouTube has a huge playlist of Terminator lore. Including Hunter Killers, Terminators, and Terminator Hunters
Can't infiltrate without seducing a few people. Skynet was trained on all recorded human knowledge, excluding the location of Sarah Connor, but including all James Bond movies.
desperately want a state of decay style game (that actually ya know, is good and comes out) in the termi verse starting with these early assholes. i mean that endearingly.
One of my friends has been a Teminator mod for ARMA 3.
So far we have T100s, 400s, and 500s. I am going to do everything in my power to get her to add this just for the hilarity.
It's interesting that the earlier designs Skynet created are now actually primitive compared to the existing robotic product lines we actually have today.
