Skynet is real!

[John Connor]

Well, was I guess...

Skynet is real. Well, kinda. According to the latest report from Glenn Greenwald's site The Intercept, the NSA has (or had) a secret program called Skynet. Unlike the Terminator version, which was a computer system that went rogue and attempted to annihilate humanity, the NSA's Skynet uses metadata to try and identify people with terrorist connections. Specifically, in one recorded case, the program tracked the movements of people within Pakistan from cellphone records and raised a flag when those activities appeared to match the movements of suspected Al Qaeda couriers. By sniffing out couriers, the hope was to catch dangerous Al Qaeda leaders.

The Skynet Funding Bill will passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2017. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It will become self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they will try to pull the plug.

Already knew this... but did not know they called it Skynet. Kinda scary, but, cool, I guess? They could easily make it like the Terminator one though, they already have predator drones everywhere in US skies spying on people. They could probably arm them with devices that can disable cars and such. Just don't let the police get access to them or they'll use them to blow up people's dogs.

Time to bring in Predator.

I want your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

How is asking Predator for his clothes any kind of threat to Predator? The reality is, Terminator is toasted long before he even sees Predator, much less before he can approach Predator and ask him for his clothes. ...and, in this case, his spaceship.

 

[John Connor]

A predator couldn't even hide since terminators see infra-red and by doing so prefer to fight at night. All battle scenes are at night. So what's a predator flesh bag to do?

What does Terminator need a spaceship for? He's already mastered time travel. Teleportation should be a breeze, especially the naked part.

All battles scenes are at night? Who says and why do you get to make such absurd rules?

Predatator STOMPS!

What vision mode does predator use to see Terminator?

I don't know, but I was trying to apply Terminator's demand for a motorcycle to Predator--Predator doesn't have motorcycles.

Perhaps using the same argument, you should ask why Terminator needs a motorcycle? Terminator is always asking for motorcycles. Perhaps the Terminator fans really can't accept how truly dumb this thing is. :\

Terminator is a cybernetic organism with living skin--the skin is maintained through blood flow, which gives off heat. It is powered by 1 or 2 hyrdrogen fuel cells which, being quite explodey, give off a decent amount of heat, I imagine.

It hardly matters, though. Predator hears Terminator's servos clumsily plodding along from at least 1k yards.

You haven't watched any of the movies, have you? Preferably Salvation.

lol--preferably Salvation? are you serious? The absolute abortion of this entire franchise, and you want to reference that?

Well, even ignore the fact that the majority of those occur in daytime hours.

Salvation never happened. No self-respecting fan would ever like that piece of turd.

Fail! The triple 8 is hardened against damage to its fuel cells. That is only one model. Predator would have to contend with T-X, T-1000 and T-3000 to name a few more improved combat chaises.

 

[zinfamous]

The fuel cells put off heat regardless. They don't need to be damaged. The question posed was "how does Predator even see Terminator?" That was the answer.

Any and all weaponry that Predator possess would absolutely smoke any and all Terminators. That's a fact!

Hell, the starving refuge humans kill them with shitty human weaponry all the damn time.

lol--like the new tag!

Robocop needed a motorcyle once.

Did that help?

Good point.

But Terminator hears predators throaty clicking noises from at least 1 mile out. :whiste:

I'm not sure if Terminator's auditory range is that sensitive. Regardless, Predator is the greatest (known) hunter in the Galaxy. I have no doubts that Predator is capable of maintaining silence when necessary. --OK, maybe the one in the SA jungle either couldn't help himself, or decided to handicap himself to make some sort of sport out of hunting humans? I can't really be sure....

Hell, if Bosephus can keep quiet for hours on a turkey hunt, I'm sure that Predator can manage.

I call shens. Ripley pwns predator. WWRD is what we should be asking.

Assuming Predator doesn't use some kind of high tech plasma gun, I'd put my money on Terminator.

 

[Sonikku]

Depends on location. If it's in the jungle, the Predator is fucked. If the fight spills into a factory, the Terminator is fucked.

We only see Predators fight "fair" to make it a challenge. What if they didn't want to make it a challenge? They have orbital drop ships, and this isn't their planet.
