Awesome Terminator

To promote his new Omaze fundraiser, Arnold Schwarzenegger dressed up as the Terminator to surprise bystanders and visitors in Hollywood. Donate at least $10 for a chance to attend the Terminator Genisys premiere with Arnold.

(SPOILERS) The new trailer for the alternate timeline reboot Terminator: Genisys reveals one hell of a bombshell. But the plot twist  will just leave you even more intrigued and confused. What the hell is going on here?

For his latest edit, sample-master Eclectic Method took sound bites from the Terminator universe, and mashed them up into an edgy electronic track loaded with the sounds of weaponry and futuristic killing machines.

John Chapman put together this faithful shot-by-shot remake of the classic truck/motorcycle chase sequence from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, using nothing but Grand Theft Auto V. It’s too bad there’s no T-1000 character in the game.

If Bruce Wayne lived in the same universe as Skynet, you know he’d outlast us all. Obviously he’d try to take on the evil A.I. as well. That’s exactly the premise of this concept animated short film by Mitchell Hammond.

(NSFW: Language) 1A4 Studio speedily recaps James Cameron’s sci-fi classic. This is perhaps the studio’s most digestible and understandable Speedrun yet, although it’s still filled with action and irreverent humor.

A retelling of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, done entirely using Shakespearean prose. Apparently, Husky Jackal Theater did a full-length stage version funded via Kickstarter, which will arrive for all to enjoy on DVD this November.

While T3 wasn’t very good, that doesn’t mean plenty of effort didn’t go into creating its robots. Here’s some BTS footage from Stan Winston School showing how the tank-treaded, gatling-gun wielding T-1 series robots worked.

These palm-sized metal skulls by propmaker Faustus70 are like having a tiny T-800 Terminator you can carry with you. Made from aluminum sheets riveted over a resin form. Buy a dozen, and fill your fruitbowl with ’em.

This hilariously bad performance of “I’ll Be Back” from a 1991 Top of the Pops deserves at least one viewing, if nothing more than to be thankful that Schwarzenegger himself wasn’t there to sing.

A while back, Peter Clute dug deep within his warped mind to create his Buzz Lightyear x T-800 mashup. Guess Woody was feeling left out, so he became one with the machines too.

We have no idea what to make of Husky Jackal Theater’s attempt to mount a production of Terminator 2 set to the words of Shakespeare, but with enough of your pledges, the show will go on.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stan Lee’s The Governator animated series will premiere in 2012; a comic book, 3D film and internet programming are also being considered. (Thanks Jonathan!)

OneMinuteGalactica shows us in the most gentle and persuasive way that rudeness can kill, over and over and over again, with this mashup of retro instruction and the Governator. (Thanks Bort!)

While it’s a complete knock-off of Jimmy Kimmel’s Unnecessary Censorship, this potty-mouthed remix of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is still pretty funny, in our humble opinion.

Have you seen this toy? This awesome 12-inch figurine of Robert Patrick as the inimitable T-1000 includes a ton of accessories, including a split open head and hands with the pointy metal bits.

Neil Harbisson, born with achromatopsia causing him to see only black and white, created an eyeborg camera that sees colors and converts them to sound waves, which he uses to create art.

This T-800 was built entirely out of LEGOs, and is sure to scare the crap out of anyone who tries to stand in its way. Of course, you could always crush it in a compactor if you want to stop it.

What do you get when you take Buzz Lightyear, rip him from his suit, and a T-800 Terminator took his place? The Buzzinator, that’s what. Peter Clute’s toy mashup is truly deviant – and awesome.

Loaded with an arsenal that rivals small countries, this 12″ Sarah Connor figure will send any cybernetic organism packing; includes assault rifle, shotgun, pistol, and combat knife.

From the same DJ who brought us the fantastic UPular Remix: Arnold is back in a big way with Skynet Symphonic, composed of sound clips from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Arnold really meant it when he’d be back: this 12″, 1:6 scale T-800 figure is a spot-on replica of the Governator in Terminator 2, complete with detachable left endoskeleton arm.

Had James Cameron created the original Terminator in 2004 instead of 1984, it likely would be like this Textinator t-shirt; then again, Hasta La Vista, Baby might simply be TTYL kthxbye.
