Warning: Long ass post.

2018, the war against the machines rages on. The human resistance is being pushed to the brink of their extinction as the weapons they have are ineffective against the ruthless machines. John connor and the resistance go on a rescue mission to save some prisoners in a concentration camp. After the mission is successful, one of the prisoners explain to john that humans im camps were being taken and experimented on mostly, leading John to believe that skynet is beginning development on the T-800 as he knows via recorded tapes from Sarah. John also learns that skynet is hunting his father Kyle Reese and knows if he died, the war is lost.

Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger, Marcus Wright explores the wasteland. Marcus is on the search for Serena Kogan, hoping to get some answers on how he's alive and what happened. He stumbles upon a abandoned warehouse which was housing sone survivors, among them is none other than Kyle Reese. Marcus and Kyle befriend each other and Kyle explains that he wants to join the Resistance and meet John Conner. Marcus has strange sensations about that name, but we'll get to that.

The resistance then get word of a skynet outpost developing some new weapons by an unknown source. They launch an assault on the skynet outpost, after a successful attack, the resistance finds tgat it wasn't even a weapons factory but a data post. They find more information about the T-800 and something else: a computer virus, a contingency plan left behind by Miles Dyson long befqre judgement day incase of an emergency shut down of skynet incase Russians hack it. Connor decides that if they can somehow get this virus to work, they can end this war. Though Connor begins to slowly question things as this is not how the war should be going is it?

Marcus begins to find a vehicle and head to Los Angeles, as it was the last place he remembers Dr Kogan, Kyle asks to come if and the two depart. On their way, Marcus explains more about his past and his brother Sam, telling Kyle he reminds him of Sam. The two are then stopped by some scavengers by the road who are looking for supplies, they almost kill Kyke, but Marcus takes them down pretty easily displaying some brute strength. The two continue their way.

The resistance meanwhile begin trying to activate the ASV (Anti-Skynet-Virus). John slowly begins to wonder more and more if the future he was raised to fight for is really happening. Marcus and Kyle come across a shot down fighter and it's pilot. The pilot, Blair Williams gets helped out by the two. After explaining where they're going, Blair offers to take them to Resistance HQ and maybe John can help them out. Marcus keeps getting strange sensations.

Kate then explains to John that they are close to accessing the ASV but while their discovering more about the it, it's also some sort of activation key. John wonders what this could be and if this virus is even what they think.

Marcus, Kyle and Blair arrive at the Resistance HQ. John soon meets Kyle, shocked and the mysterious man Marcus. Marcus soon has some sort of breakdown, images flashing in his head and falls unconscious. He's taken to a room to rest. The resistance soon finish the virus. Or half finish it. They can take out some of skynets biggest defenses and hack into his mainframe. Command plans to launch a full assault on skynet HQ in two days. John begins to get to know Kyle more and Kyle explains his hardships of living in this world.

The resistance begin their first move of assaulting skynet with the ASV and activate it to start taking out it's main defenses but soon see it does nothing. Marcus, suddenly wakes up and his silent and focused. He heads to the mainroom and starts attacking everyone and his focus is on both John and Kyle. Marcus chokes Kyle nearly to death. A grenade is accidentally dropped. They manage to take cover but Marcus is partially caught in the explosion but survives and is captured.

Marcus wakes up, tied with chains and everyone guns aimed at him. It's discovered Marcus is a half machine, half man. John deduces it was sent to kill him and Kyle, but John is more concerned on the how than the why. The T-800 is still in development, infiltrators aren't build yet, and it certainly didn't say anything about machines with organs. John begins to wonder if the future's been tampered with.

Marcus is kept on capture but soon the base is attacked by a full on machine armada. The place is soon overrun. John manages to escape, but Kyle is captured and Marcus is taken too. The survivors relocate to another base somewhere else. The attack on skynet is now imminent and no defenses are taken down and Kyle is about to bombed aswell.

At skynet, Marcus is repaired and there, finally meets Serena Kogan, alive and well. She explains she is like him, half machine and working with Skynet. Marcus asks what is he, which she explains he is a prototype. One of a kind. When he sold his body, cyberdyne operated him into a perfect half machine. They also installed a tracking beacon and activation chip for when needed. The same activation key which the resistance found in the ASV. Marcus was their endgame weapon in killing John and Kyle Reese. Marcus tries to fight her but is disarmed.

John tries to convince command to stop the attack, but are too adamant that now is the time to end the war. John is forced to go and infiltrate skynet itself and save Kyle and maybe deactivate some of the defenses within. Marcus is taken into a room and reprogrammed, since it already failed in killing John, they have no need for him really. Serena explains then, that in the future, skynet was loosing the war and realized that sending machines back in time to try and kill Sarah or John just kept leading to his own destruction. So as a new tactic, Skynet send a terminator back in time to meet Serena, explain about judgement day and find Marcus in prison to offer his body and make him into a machine, a machine that would be reawakened in the war to dind and kill John connor without leading to an endless time loop. Marcus manages to break free. He and Serena have a fight and Marcus overpowers her and tears her head off. He begins looking for Kyle while trying to fight his own programming.

John manages to reach Skynet and heads in to find Kyle. Kyle is kept in a holding cell about to be executed when Marcus saves him. Kyle is wary of Marcus since he nearly killed him but heads off with Marcus. Marcus keeps fighting off Skynet and explains that he wont last long and needs to get Kyle out and far from him and Skynet base. John breaks into the place and sees the two. Marcus while shocked by John, is caught off guard when skynet takes the chance to activate his kill mode again. A fight breaks out between them. John is injured during the confrontation. Meanwhile, the attack on skynet begins but the resistance is being slaughtered amd overrun, chaos unfolds. Skynet also having tracked command's HQ through his signal sends a HK and decimates them. Marcus is about to kill John when the building gets unstable and flames break out. John and Kyle try to escape but are cut off by a few T-600s that get killed by Blair and Barnes. They head out but John is impaled through the heart by Marcus. Kyle grabs a nearby electric wire and jabs it into Marcus's neck destroying the chip and knocking him back to normal. The four of them escape the place as the resistance also makes retreat. The battle is lost.

Hours later. At a medical camp, John is dying and needs a heart transplant. Marcus, knowing his heart is strong enough and wanting to atone for what he's tried to do, sacrifices his heart to John. Marcus is put out as his heart is given to John. John lives on once again and realizes the extent of damage this war has taken. He thinks about eveything that's transpired and thinks how nothing was how it was supposed to be. But nkw Kyle is safe and the war rages on. They may have lost the fight. But not the war. There is no fate but what they make.

In a post credit scene, in an alternate timeline, a timeline where skynet would've won the war if it hadn't been for skynet sending back machines to plant it's own destruction. A timeline where it's new war is with something else entirely. At Skynet, a man walks out of a steaming chamber, naked, but menacing. The T-800. It walks to the TDE, and gets it's new objective update: 1960. Kill Miles Dyson.

Goofy ass rewrite I know. It's not a official rewrite just my own concept so there ARE gonna be some mix ups and plot holes. If you read this far, awesome! Took a while to write. And has for the post credit scene, i watched Sarah Connor chronicles and it was interesting how many timelines existed. Terminator Zero also expanded on that, so in this ending, skynet was at war with an Alternate skynet who was created by Miles Dyson to counter this skynet after a machine came back in time to warn him of the current skynet so he created another version of skynet to fight off this one. Confused? I know. Thanks for reading.

I just finished Resistance on PS5 and had a blast. Thank you to everyone recommending the game.

Initially I had buyers remorse. The gameplay isn’t that polished or innovative. However, the immersion and storytelling is superb. They perfectly captured so many elements of the franchise that I love.

To anybody on the fence. If you are put off by reviews or initial contact with the game itself, give it a chance!

So i built a custom drum machine an added a T-800 in the design i think it came out pretty cool

You can see it also in this video on my Ig Drum Machine Demo

There was a toy I had as a kid , very similar to the bio flesh regenerator , but it was different It came with molds for the endoskeleton, and it came with packages of “real metal” powder.. which I assume was some sort of aluminum in theory, but I remember the toys came out feeling like the Creepy Crawlers, in that they were really rubbery feeling and not like real metal at all.. This was like the late 90s, time period.. internet keeps bringing up the regenerator , but it was not the same and I feel like I’m going crazy lol..

I was born in 1985 and T2 was my first Terminator movie. I didn't even know the first one existed for years. I don't think I thought it was called T2 because it had two terminators in it I don't remember ever thinking about there being a T1 for some reason.

It bookends with the park at the start. And Sarah's dream of her life in a park with out Terminators before the bomb. (Also it means the sequel ls never happened 😂😂)

Hey all,

I'm looking for the highest possible quality version of this image (possibly the most badass piece of concept art I've ever seen), as well as additional James Cameron concept art. After a little searching, I couldn't find some master collection where everything is stored in high quality, but that surely must be a thing.
