It is an artificially-intelligent, self-aware, strategic computer network. It is stated that Skynet was built by Cyberdyne Systems. Terminator units are just one variation of its future agents and forces. Two possibilities have been suggested: 1 This was an error or omission in Skynet's programming of the Terminator since directed energy weapons had not yet been invented in , or 2 Reese explains to Sarah that many records of the past were lost.
The Terminator was just being thorough in its acquisition of weapons. As the gun shop owner says, the Terminator could take the rifles, but there's a waiting period on the handguns required for a background check on the buyer. The Terminator wasn't going to go through the proper legal channels, such as paying for them or waiting out a background check, in order to obtain his arsenal.
Had he stolen them and let the owner live, the owner would have called the police and given his description. While this may not be a major obstacle for the Terminator, it could seriously inconvenience him.
Killing the owner allows him to take everything at once and not leave any witnesses. The Terminator, being an infiltration unit, knows when to kill and when not to.
As stated by the character Kyle Reese, the Terminator is covered in living tissue, allowing it to go back in time as a living organism. Of course, this illustrates that the the feature in question concerning the machine is conditional or, so to speak, subject to a loophole. Thus, things like clothing, jewelry, armor, equipment and effects outside of the living body presumably do not travel with the body, whether they are left behind or destroyed in transit, or they present a hazard that precludes the very attempt to time travel in the first place.
Reese also explains that he doesn't know "tech stuff", so his statement that the time displacement machine "only" allows living organisms through may not be exact, and his explanation of how the Terminator came through may be something of a layman's inference, but more importantly Reese covered the basics of why he as an individual couldn't bring any non-living material of interest with him from the future. This was actually part of the original shooting script. A scene was filmed in which Sarah traced the creation of Skynet back to a company called Cyberdyne; she suggests to Kyle that they go there and stop Skynet from being made.
This would also eliminate the Terminator from existence. But Reese refuses, saying his mission is to protect her, not alter the future, which leads to a confrontation between the two that ultimately results in Reese suffering the emotional breakdown of being a man out of time.
Another scene was set right after Sarah crushes the Terminator in the factory. Employees find a chip fragment that came from the Terminator's head, and suggest sending it to the company's Research and Development department.
It is then revealed that the factory belonged to the Cyberdyne company. So the Terminator's mission to protect Skynet actually ensured its creation. This plot element, together with Sarah's intention to prevent Skynet from existing, was revisited in the sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day The real-life answer is because that is how the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger talks.
The Terminator universe answer is that Skynet obviously can't have every Terminator they create and send out on infiltration missions looking exactly alike. If they did, people would easily recognize them.
Skynet's source for various likenesses are probably from either people they have captured and held in custody, or people they have encountered, killed or fought out in the field. Tissue samples would be taken for cloning, tissue cultivation, etc , visual images captured, and if possible, voice patterns and sound recorded. In a deleted scene from Terminator 3, Arnold's character is shown to be modeled on a military man, Sgt.
William Candy who has a high voice and southern dialect. An official says, "I don't know about the voice," followed by another official, with Arnold's voice, who says: "We can fix it. Also, as the scene was omitted from the final cut, it cannot be considered canon. Another problem with this explanation is that it has been established in The Terminator and Terminator Salvation that early Terminators had very obvious rubber skin.
Several possibilities exist. As such, it takes less time to start there, than going back and forth to different locations. After all, there's no reason why the filmmakers would show us every dead-end along the way.
It isn't actually known how many Terminators that Skynet sent backwards through time in general, only that one was sent to Los Angeles with Sarah Connor as the target.
Perhaps sending more than one on the same exact mission would have been poor use of resources, including the resource of "time travel" especially considering that there is just one target and no more than a single operative is needed to eliminate the target.
Sending back an army millions of units or so to the same date would imply another objective altogether, likely one uninteresting to Skynet as explained hereafter. According to Kyle Reese, "Skynet's defense grid was smashed; we'd won"; meaning that John Connor's forces had defeated Skynet and the supercomputer's defeat was inevitable.
Sending a Terminator back was a last ditch effort on Skynet's part to try to erase the leader of the Human Resistance from history. It is unknown whether Skynet had the time, resources, or troops in general, to send back more than one Terminator just to kill Sarah Connor, regardless of her importance.
However, unused parts of the script from Terminator 2: Judgment Day detailed a backstory in which the Resistance enters the Skynet facility, which contains the Time Displacement Device. They also find a cold storage full of inactive T model Terminators, of which only one has been sent, indicating that lack of infiltration units was not the issue. Most likely, the process of time travel takes a lot of time and energy, only allowing for one person or object to be sent at a time; so if more could be sent at a time, the Resistance would most likely have sent more people back than just Kyle Reese.
We can also assume that time travel is pretty much Skynet's last resort, something it would only do on the brink of destruction. The reason for this may be that time travel always carries a danger of making unwanted changes to the past, which may lead to unpredictable, but very negative consequences in the future.
So Skynet probably did not start sending back Terminators until the very last moments; whereby they had enough time to send just two one T and the T and got interrupted before they could send a third one.
After sending Kyle back, Connor and his team destroyed the Time Displacement Device to insure that neither Skynet or anyone else could use it again. However, assuming they were able to send back a few Terminators or a whole army, they would likely be detected and run into significant resistance from present day human armies pretty quickly, which number in the millions and are backed by intact governments with fully functional industrial bases.
Not to mention, while Terminators are virtually impervious to bullets, they don't fare so well against explosives. So it wouldn't take long for a modern army to discover this. It therefore makes sense that Skynet sends Terminators sparingly and to different time periods. It would minimize the risk of detection, while at the same time doubling the chances that one of them will be successful. Remember that Skynet was able to virtually wipe out humans only through a surprise first strike nuclear attack which destroyed their societies.
The human survivors were ultimately able to defeat Skynet using scrounged weapons and an improvised military force. Skynet's army of terminators would not have stood a chance against a pre-"judgement day" human military force. The Terminator's eye was badly damaged during the car chase with Reese and Sarah.
The living tissue covering the Terminator's body heals in a manner similar to regular human tissue. The same would also be true for injures that are sustained to a Terminator's exterior flesh that cannot be easily heal or heal at all. In this case, the T's eye was damaged beyond repair and, more than likely, was clouding his vision through his true cyborg eye, so he removed it to regain his perfect cybernetic vision. The Terminator Enhanced Script Presentation, with highlighted dialogue and over screenshots placed in sync with the story.
Not in the context of this movie. In the film we see that Kyle Reese fell in love with Sarah from looking at a picture of her which had survived Judgment Day. He describes how he was attracted to the melancholy look she had about her. In the final scene of the film we see the picture being taken and that the melancholy look is caused by the fact that Sarah is thinking of Reese, her dead love. Within the context of the first film, this should probably not be considered a paradox.
What we see in The Terminator is that history is unchanging. The Terminator came back to stop John Connor from ever being born, but in doing so, it actually caused him to be born. In the first movie, time cannot be changed and there is no version of history where Sarah was not attacked by the Terminator in The second film doubles down on the circular nature of the timeline by making clear that Cyberdyne creates Skynet using technology which they reverse-engineered from parts of the Terminator which Sarah and Kyle fought.
Thus, not only John Connor, but also Skynet itself are the result of the attempt by Skynet to eliminate John. The second movie, however differs from the first in arguing that time can be changed. The photograph, which is created by information from the future and then contributes to its own creation, is inspired by the time travel romance film Somewhere in Time , starring Christopher Reeve a difference of only one letter from "Reese" and Jane Seymour.
That film, which involves Reeve traveling back in time and meeting Seymour, has a pocket watch which exists in an eternal "loop". It is never actually created but is instead passed from Reeve to Seymour and back again. From his point of view, she was already unprotected. At least, unprotected enough for him to make an attempt on her life. The police can't stop him and concerns for his own safety do not enter his calculations.
But he was programmed with one goal in mind: Kill Sarah Connor. When he sees an opportunity to do so, he takes it. He knew where she was. To wait would be to risk losing that information. Skynet may not have been aware of the then-modern technology that would allow a target to be tipped off in the first place. Several possibilities: 1 It uses visual aiming, just like humans do.
Also, the gun in question, the AMT Hardballer, was notoriously unreliable. Not aiming weapons. It wouldn't have done anything. It would've changed Silberman's view of him from "delusional whacko" to "delusional whacko with a tattoo. So-called "alien abductees" have been known to do the same thing. For all we know, he did show Silbermann the tattoo and he just dismissed it.
The Terminator doesn't initially walk around in public with assault weapons. It uses a pistol and an uzi which it conceals under its jacket while tracking Sarah. After the police have Sarah it retrieves the rest of its guns for the assault on the police station, and it drives there rather than walking. When he leaves the apartment carrying the assault rifle and shotguns, one person does notice, and says "Daaayumm! Who's going to willingly tangle with a big guy with a pair of huge guns on their own Edit.
Reese probably didn't go in through the front where the bouncer was, He's clearly noticed that Sarah's noticed him following her, so he probably snuck in through a less well-guarded back entrance. The Terminator, who did go through the front door, only attracted notice from the cashier and bouncer because he didn't pay the cover, not for carrying more and bulkier weapons than Reese is. A full-size UZI, especially with the round magazines, is bigger than Reese's shotgun in every dimension that matters in regards to concealing it, even for someone as big as the Terminator.
We don't see the terminator modifying the AR and Uzi carbine to fire full-auto either, but it did in the novelization. It was America, in the 80's. Reese could have walked in to a local department store and bought or stolen a box of shells. Its assumed the bunker massacre was just Sarah's dream, being influenced by whatever Reese was talking about at the time. There were always little details in it that struck as odd for Reese to note when they'd just be business as usual for someone raised in a apocalyptic world.
Quote: Whine: Why do the terminators have humanoid skeletons? They aren't infiltrators yet so why do they have to be humanoid? Answer: Really? Yeah, I've actually seen this complaint. The fact of the matter is that a human body type is probably the most efficient physical configuration that can be found on Earth except for maybe When it comes to traversing all kinds of terrain, there's no better body type out there.
Why wouldn't lots of the machines be humanoid? There's also the psychological component. A walking skeleton with red eyes is something that would evoke fear in anyone who sees it approaching, right? Fear makes people make mistakes, and mistakes make people dead. Really, there's no reason not to have the terminators be skeletal even before the development of infiltration units.
This I agree with. Quote: Beef: Why does molten steel not destroy the T, when it worked in Terminator 2? Answer: Because in T2, he was completely submerged in it for a bit of time, long enough to disintegrate.
In this movie, molten steel only pours onto the T for a few seconds. It wasn't submerged or exposed to sustained ultra-high temperatures. That steel was still thousands of degrees in temperature, and the Terminator was rather thoroughly doused. While I agree that it would not have been enough to completely melt the Terminator, it was enough heat to cause damage to moving surfaces and thin parts, as well as overheat temperature-sensitive components.
The Terminator in T2 started suffering from critical overheating warnings before it became completely non-functional. Even completely disregarding the heat issues, what happened next was even more problematic. As steel heats up, it softens.
Conversely, as it cools it hardens. So if the Terminator is having trouble fighting against the steel even before it cools completely, then the Terminator would have even more trouble fighting against the steel one it has cooled completely.
There is no way that the Terminator should have been able to break its way out of completely hardened steel if it couldn't do so while the steel was still relatively soft. Quote: Bitch: Why do terminators in this movie like to throw people so much?
Why not just kill them? The terminator in T1 was a killing machine! Answer: The terminator in T1 did indeed punch through a guy's chest in the first five minutes of the movie. However, for the most part, the terminators in the other movies threw people a lot too. Terminators throw people. For some reason people nitpick about this in Salvation while totally ignoring the fact that it happens in the other movies.
In T1, the only person the Terminator spent any time throwing around was Matt, and after four throws directly into solid obstacles, he was dead. Matt did not last long at all. Also, it's worth noting that throwing Matt around wasn't the Terminator's first choice. It attempted to punch a hole in him first, only resorting to throws when Matt woke up in time and started fighting back.
In T2, the Terminator was under orders not to kill people for much of the movie, so its options were limited. Even before that, none of the people at the bar were primary targets.
It couldn't justify punching a hole in the biker whose clothes it wanted, and the biker behind him was in a sufficiently awkward position that grabbing him and throwing him was the easiest way to take him out of the fight.
Yet in Terminator Salvation, the T had every reason to kill John Connor, but was just tossing him through the air instead of slamming him directly into the closest solid obstacles available. John Connor was getting tossed so far that he actually had time to get away. Even worse was the T from earlier in the movie. It was missing its legs, yet still opted to throw John Connor instead of keeping him as close as possible.
It's worth noting that in the first two movies, throwing people around didn't prevent a Terminator from getting the job done. Matt didn't live to fight back, and everyone tossed around by the Terminator in T2 immediately stopped being problems.
But in Terminator Salvation, the throws end up being tactical mistakes that allow John Connor the opportunity to keep fighting or to escape. Quote: Grievance: Why doesn't the helicopter get knocked out of the air by the nuke at the end of the movie? Answer: Admittedly, they didn't wait very long to set the nuke off when they were flying away.
A little distance would have been a lot smarter. Plus, a precedent was set earlier in -the same movie- when a nuke went off at the beginning and caused Connor's helicopter to go spiraling back to the ground. That said, the "nuke" that goes off at the end of the movie is a small energy core from a terminator, not a high-powered nuclear bomb.
Still powerful enough to level the Skynet tower, but we don't know the properties of this cell. The flip-cocking the Terminator does is an homage to that show, which James Cameron or one or more of his writers might have watched as a kid. During the shoot, Arnold Schwarzenegger actually did injure his hand a few times when his skin got pinched in the mechanism. He had to practice quite a bit to master the technique without hurting himself. The T is frozen solid in the accident with the CryoCo semi-truck, then broken into pieces by a bullet from the T's gun.
Although the heat from the steel mill allows him to melt and regenerate, this incident damaged the T considerably. He begins to malfunction, first noticing this when his hand begins to meld with a steel bar against his will.
He quickly starts losing control of his mimetic processes and begins to inadvertently emulate everything he comes into contact with. He is able to take on Sarah Connor's appearance to try to lure John, but his identity is quickly given away when John notices that his feet meld to the metal flooring, again, against his will.
This may also be a factor in why the T was finally finished off by a grenade fired into his stomach by the T, which damaged him to the point of not being able to regenerate fast enough before stumbling into the liquid steel, killing him. As pointed out before, while the T is technically a superior model, he is still just a prototype, and is possibly not up to date enough to be able to fully recover from an incident like that.
The T model played by Robert Patrick is the only T model we see in the film. In the opening futuristic battle sequence we see an army of T models as well as several other types of Skynet weaponry, such as aircraft fighters and tank-like machinery, fighting the resistance, but we never see any Ts fighting the resistance.
There are three possible reasons for this. The first is that the battle sequence we see at the beginning might have been taking place before the T was ever created. The second is that the T in the film, while far more advanced, powerful, and durable, was still just a prototype and not ready for mass-production. The third, and most likely reason, is that the T, unlike its predecessor, seems to have a limited emotional range. He is easily able to convince others that he is human: he smiles, can talk in modern day slang as opposed to the T who stills acts very robotic and uses words like "affirmative" and "negative" instead of saying yes or no and conducts himself in the manner of a real police officer.
In the clothing store he sees a mannequin that resembles his liquid metal form and seems somewhat surprised by its likeness to him. At the finale of the film, in the factory, Sarah shoots him several times with a shotgun. After he quickly recovers he wags his finger in a "tsk tsk" type fashion.
Then, in perhaps the best example of his ability to show some emotional range, while torturing Sarah to call John out from hiding, he is thwarted in his interrogation by the T who cuts him in half with a large metal rod.
Previously in the film, The T and T engaged in a small struggle in a mall while perusing John. The T throws the T through a glass window, then immediately goes back to chasing John without bothering to see if the T was capable of a quick recovery. However, after being stopped by the T yet again, he seems to become extremely frustrated and proceeds to mercilessly beat the T, ripping off one of his limbs and impaling him with the metal rod until he is certain that the T has been terminated and will not be able to hinder his objective anymore.
He was unsuccessful in doing so, and in another display of an emotion, he exhibits a shocked expression when noticing the T has come back, and after being shot with the grenade launcher which leads to his demise.
The final point being that Skynet would not want to mass-produce a model that has the potential of thinking for itself in fear that their own creation might turn against them. Instead, they make a limited number of Ts for specific missions only, such as the mission of the T in this film to kill John Connor.
Basically three main versions of this movie exist: 1 the theatrical version, 2 the Special Edition and 3 the Ultimate Cut plus there are special cuts in the UK the T Edition which is a censored Special Edition version and the Australian theatrical version that is kind of a hybrid a mix out of theatrical version, Special Edition and Ultimate Cut.
This cut included the alternate ending of the Ultimate Cut and some scenes of the Special Edition. The dream sequence where Sarah meets Kyle Reese is included while the punishment by the nurses is missing. But back to the basics. In , a Special Edition of Terminator 2 was released that featured more than 15 minutes of new footage. Today this is probably the most common version.
Some of the "new" scenes are Sarah's dream sequence, the "learning upgrade" of the T and several other sequences. In total 18 scenes were added. Aside from the 3D effects themselves, there are only minor digital corrections done to the theatrical cut of the film. Most notably is a few scenes where it was obvious a stuntman was used, the face has been digitally replaced with the actor.
The scenes show Sarah Connor beating down the carer with the broken broom stick a little longer, and how she later hits Dr. Silberman in the back of his knees with a bat. In addition to those two cuts, additional scenes with a runtime of 18 seconds had to be cut out. Dyson was dying, He was holding the detonator like that as a literal "dead man's switch".
He needed the swat team to get close enough before he would die and drop his arm or warn them to get away, showing the urgency of the situation. One look at him and the lead guy knew they had to run, allowing the others more time to get away. He sacrificed himself to buy more time. Dyson's plan was to blow up the Cyberdyne office, but didn't want to cause any casualties in the SWAT team. He held an object above the detonator as to allow them time to escape, so that when he died he would drop it onto the detonator, the office would get blown up but no innocent people got hurt.
He likely knew he wasn't going to get out alive, but made sure none of the data in the office was going to stay behind. Were they explicitly designed to mimic those two features? Sweating could be important for thermo regulation, which is what the human body uses it for, and halitosis could just be a by-product of having internal organs made out of metal.
Now, one could argue that tear production would be helpful if, say, the Terminator got something in their eye or was in a particularly bad dust storm, but since the organic eyes themselves are only covering bionic eyes behind them, I don't think tears would be necessary. I dont think that line refers specifically to the act of crying, more to the emotion behind the tears.
He's saying he can never cry out of sadness or joy, because he cannot feel those emotions. In the first movie, Kyle Reese said, "The series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero on him. I believe that by the word "cry" he means "grieving. The T can't fake any emotion.
Even humans have a hard time faking sadness and tears believably. Crying is not a common bodily function like sweating is so Skynet doesn't waste their time and resources creating that. He doesn't blush, cough, sneeze, bruise, drool, throw up, eat or go to the bathroom either.
He sweats, he gets bad breath and he bleeds a little , the bare minimum to pass for human. Even if T can mimic tears, he's an emotionless machine. What he does isn't crying, or sweating, or having bad breath; it's a simulation of those things. He probably doesn't think of it as "crying" in the emotional sense that a human would, any more than he "sweats" in the way that a human would or has "bad breath" in the way a human would.
To him, it's leaking fluid from his eyes, or releasing fluid through his skin, or exhaling with a scent that is displeasing to humans, and what does a robot care if its eyes or skin leak fluid, or when it exhales humans don't like the smell?
Even if he can mimic them, he can't do them in a way a human can because he lacks the emotional and human connection to those concepts that humans have. Even if he can simulate the physical responses, he'll never be able to cry when a loved one dies, or if he ever holds a newborn baby, or if he steps on a Lego, because he lacks the ability to feel the emotional and physical responses that make humans cry in these situations.
The "something I can never do" wasn't the crying, it was the feeling sad. As in, the reason why humans cry. The T was, in effect, suggesting that John shouldn't grieve on its behalf, because it isn't capable of feeling sad about its own necessary destruction. Why else would it bring up the subject in the first place? Terminators, even reprogrammed-to-be-friendly ones, don't make Non Sequitur comments: it was trying to fulfill its "protect John from death or injury" assignment right to the end, by attempting in its socially-untutored way to ease the boy's pain.
And it did so indirectly, referencing their previous conversation, because it's learned from observing John and Sarah that humans or at least those particular humans tend not to state their feelings outright Edit. But shattering it and then letting it melt, then having to rebuild itself may have taken just as much time.
The Terminator may have also hoped that it may cause some malfunction in the T He doesn't seem to notice the vats immediately, and even if he did, the solid pieces took like 50 seconds to completely melt.
Carrying them closer to the heat source would only cause them to melt in Arnie's hands. Even if he started throwing the largest pieces to the vats, he couldn't get rid of more than a few percents of T's total mass. So, that was the starting point" - James Cameron Starlog Reese couldn't know what happened after he left his time, and also couldn't be told.
When Reese disappeared, John Connor knew he had to send one more protector because he knew that another assassin was sent, and this time to He alone had this knowledge. The extended T2 script, novelization and T2: Nuclear Twilight 4 comic book all depicted the scene the same way. Set your charges. Let's blow this place back to Hell. Connor shakes his head no. Mustering his strength. There's one more thing we have to do. After the second protector is sent, then they destroy the TDE It is not clear when exactly Skynet sent his two terminators.
It was shortly before the war was over, but when exactly is not clear. The Resistance was able to sent their protectors only after Skynet was defeated and all machines stopped functioning, in July of It was then that they could enter Skynet's facilities, access abandoned TDE and do their part. Reese still suspected that Skynet might've sent more than one Terminator before getting destroyed.
Different country, different name, everything. In case they send another one. It was already made clear in the first movie that Skynet's fall is inevitable at that point and its last try was to try to erase Connor's existence. Skynet, being almost infinitely smart, was also infinitely tricky.
It knew it was losing, so it thought of a way to rig the game Technicians have pulled up floor panels and tapped directly into cabling of the machine, using portable terminals that they have wheeled in.
Many of the soldiers in this war against machines are technical specialists And now, though we've won the war, there is still one battle left to fight. The most important one. It will be fought in the past, almost four decades ago The novelization, T2: Nuclear Twilight comic and extended script itself confirm the victory, which also allows Connor and his team to enter Skynet's facilities The sudden silence takes the humans by surprise.
They slowly emerge from their rat-warren emplacements and approach the frozen machines. We hear a voice speaking over a radio headset. It is filled with awed emotion. The Colorado Division confirms that Skynet has been destroyed The war is over I repeat, Skynet has been destroyed. Valley Forge with better weapons. The wounded soldier in the ruins of the building cautiously approaches the chrome skeleton before him. He pushes against its chest with one finger.
It topples with a crash and lies still. The soldier turns to his comrades with an idiot grin. Tears are streaming down his face. A mighty cheer goes up from the men and woman of the Last Army. Since most of the records were lost in the war, they didn't have knowledge of the pre-war Los Angeles. Note that the T didn't know where the Reseda Mall is either and had to ask for directions.
In the omitted scene, the girls are laughing at T for not knowing where such huge and well known mall is. The novelization also explains that time is of no importance for the T He is in no rush at all: The target's escape meant nothing to it. The delay could only be a measurement of time. Although terminators had internal chronometers, the T did not. It was part of Skynet's new design. Knowledge of time had its uses, but in most cases of pursuit, it was an unnecessary element.
Time was only a temporary respite from inevitable. Novelization: He impulsively unlocked the cabinet and glanced inside at a larger object The fingers were as finely crafted as watch parts. Dyson would be the first and most important person Skynet would want to know about.
How, who, when, where. And he had all the records about him - the address, everything. Who knows what else T said to Sarah when she said that she wants to know everything.
Dyson, unlike any other casual citizen, was a major figure in Cyberdyne. That's even underlined in T2 Extreme text commentary, saying that he was such a big shot there that they allowed him the unthinkable - to have a top secret model for CPU prototype at home on his desk.
And again, he is the guy who'd done it all. Out of everyone around, Skynet would be the one to know all about Dyson. Out of all people, Dyson is the first choice. Novelization: Terminator searched his memory. There was a basic history of his time embedded in the circuits. Data useful as a basis for cross-reffing and scaling events in this time.
Terminator gained access to it with prioritizing it as tactical information. In the first scene shown there, as soon as Enrique and the rest come out of hiding, you can hear at least one dog barking continuously in the background. In most of the other scenes there in the desert, the T is either out of sight underground in the weapons bunker, underneath the truck , or the scenes take place after obviously quite some time has passed. By then the dogs have had time enough to get used to his presence.
This is most likely a device that allows terminators to communicate with each other and other futuristic Skynet machines. Since it's based on some kind of wireless signal, it's very possible that it allows terminators to sense each other's presence. The T cant do anything to T The T doesn't even consider him as a threat.
In addition to that, by this point the T has developed an evil and nasty personality as explained by James Cameron: "We saw the T as an advanced prototype, an experimental Terminator that could think and have a personality The next time he encountered him he realized that he's like an annoying fly and took him out with ease Edit.
At that point, even thought he was doing his best, T failed to fool John while imitating Janelle. T2 Extreme text commentary explains that T couldn't calculate the individual behavior for human beings, and that's what the machines couldn't do and why they eventually lost the war.
So before trying it again by himself, he tried to get Sarah to do it. Afterwards he does call John himself, and again he did not fool him. John suspected something immediately and stopped suddenly even before he saw second Sarah behind or melted feet. Another factor was that he was damaged and could not perfectly recreate given object anymore Van Ling: One interesting flaw of the otherwise analytical T - it could not decipher the human behavior factor accurately enough to know how to correctly imitate.
This is why AI has not been particularly successful in predicting and analyzing human behavior on individual level and why we can still beat the machines.
The T managed to track down Salceda Ranch and the very same night, right before going to Dyson's house, T arrived there and killed Enrique. There is an omitted but scripted and storyboarded scene of that. In his last ditch of effort, Enrique tries to kill T with a grenade, blowing his head off. The T then touches the head and reforms. The scene was also shown in T2: Cybernetic dawn comic book, which included creative input from van Ling and Lightstorm Entertainment.
One way or another, the future was altered by the events in T2. Novelization points out that it didn't happen the first time around, and instead, Sarah and John went into South America and waited until Judgment Day happened in Also, since Sarah and John went on record as terrorists who attacked Cyberdyne, such thing would surely be on records and Skynet would know about Cyberdyne attacks or Dyson's kidnapping by Connors.
Yet, T had no clue that they will head for Cyberdyne and only found out about it through the radio. If he'd knew it'll happen, he would wait for them there. The last deleted scene, the original ending, showed free of war, Sarah being a single grandmother and happy John Connor as being a father and senator.
The scene was cut for several reason. The scene was too much of a contrast to the rest of the movie visually and narratively.
The aged makeup on Linda Hamilton wasn't satisfactory for James Cameron either. James Cameron states that he didn't want to be so blatantly obvious in showing that it all ended well.
He said the audience 'got it' without seeing the scene. That would point out that the happy ending actually did take place in the intended Cameron's story, and its also included in the novelization. James Cameron furthermore explains: Basically, what I wanted to say in Terminator 2 was that everything is meant to be a certain way, everything has already been written. Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that Sarah hired a private detective to find Kyle Reese in this altered, war-free future but he couldn't find him and Sarah eventually called him off.
It's very likely that the chain of events that led to Kyle's birth in the original future didn't happen this time around. Remember that Kyle said that he grew up after the war in the ruins.
With no war it's possible that his parents haven't even met. The script, novelization and T2: Cybernetic dawn show the same thing. From the script: The cops have shown up, as they always do. There are black-and-whites everywhere, and ambulances are arriving. Two cops and an orderly are required to subdue poor Doctor Silberman, who is raving at the top of his lungs. It's quite pathetic.
