The Terminator vs. The Predator

Predator sees heat. Terminator does not emit body heat (assumedly) Predator's cannon didn't kill Ahnuld in one shot in Predator 1. I doubt it could touch T101.
Terminator wins.
 
Ok, lets see, Ahnold was in Predator, and kicked the Predator's ass in the movie. He was also the Terminator.

Therefore the Terminator could kick the Predator's ass.

This is just logic, why are we discussing it?

1) Predator has many different vision modes, not just heat (read: HEAT, not just body heat, vibration, electricity, pheromone sp?, etc)
2) Predator did not hit Arnold, it only grazed him. Don't you remember the direct hit that had a 14" hole through Jesse Ventura?
3) Predator has Yatja shift-suit and the terminator doesn't see anything more than light so it couldn't see the predator
4) Predator's shoulder caster can track targets given certain vision modes
5) Predator is FAST moving, T-101 is slow moving
6) Predator is a race of hunters that set advanced traps for their pray while the T-101 is an all-out blow everything to hell kind of approach.

However, a single bolt from the shoulder caster couldn't penetrate heavy plated body armor so I highly doubt it would do damage to what the T-101 is made out of.

The predator would have to find a creative way to beat the terminator, but the terminator's body metal is the only advantage that the T-101 has over the predator.
 
Why would anyone even doubt the Terminator's absolute SLAUGHTER of multiple Predators?

In the first movie, the Predator was injured by regular bullets. And he was ultimately disabled by a tree falling on him.

Think that would stop a Terminator? All a Terminator needs is some sort of firearm and the Predator is history. It might not even need a firearm.
Only way Predator can win is by seeing the Terminator first and having some kind of missile or bomb strong enough to blow it apart. Unlikely.
 
predator no problem. its faster, more agile and has infinite ammo.

in close combat terminator would win but at a distance predator would just pound on him all day long with his cannon. terminator wouldn't be able to stand up.

See my post. The shoulder caster wouldn't do anything to the T-101 other than probably give away the Pred's position.

i'm not arguing that it would penetrate him, my point is that terminator still has to absorb energy, like when he gets shot with a shotgun and knocked on his ass. predators cannon would knock him to the ground and hold him against it. terminator being made out of something solid will develop stress fractures sooner or later

Yes, but if being covered with mud was enough to mask Arnold's body heat, the heat released by the Terminator's systems would be too low to register against the background.

And the humans were able to see the Predator once they knew what to look for. The Terminator has much more sensitive eyesight and an advanced AI system which would quickly learn to "think like" the Predator and know what a cloaked Predator would look like.
 
Predator is badass and all, but the T-101 would bust out a redheaded-stepchild beatdown on the Predator.
 
I'd imagine the Terminator has more modes of vision than what humans do. I know they can see fine at night, and I can't imagine a Terminator doesn't have some sort of infrared vision as well.

As far as the Predator's weapons, no way does that shoulder gun hurt the Terminator. If the Terminator has a human shell on, then yes, it would tear that up, but when that was gone, no further damage would occur, IMO.

And we all know the Predator has little to no armor, so pretty much anything the Terminator does to it will hurt.
The Terminator is basically a walking weapons platform, so it should be able to hit the Predator easily, no matter how fast it moves.

Um, no, the Arnold Terminator is T-101. T1000 was in the second movie, and TX is the 3rd.

1: true
2: true
3: doesn't the terminator have infrared too?
4: shoulder caster can track, but can it hurt?
5: true
6: true, but the terminator is pretty smart considering how it saved/hunted the conners. A little change in its programming and it could give the predator a run for its money in the smarts catagory.

My prediction, terminator wins.
 
Yeah, T-1000 was liquid metal terminator. Then came the Terminatrix or T-X from T3. The Ah-nuld version was T-101. The T-1s or T-100s (I forget which one) was also in T3. They were the big dual chain/mini-gun wielding caterpillar track machines.

ANY of these could destroy a predator.
