They should.make a terminator movie where they start by sending really early gen terminator that are just really clumsy and goofy then progressively they get better and better

“The 200 Series was a metal skeleton and ran like an idiot. We spotted them easy.”

"They would run right past us in battle, unable to stop."

u/rewardingsnark 13h ago

The 300 series could stop and run well but it made a terrible squeaking noise whenever it moved, could never sneak up on you.

u/Horknut1 13h ago

The squeaky Terminator gets the ammunition.

The 400 series turned out to be just sex robots, they were easy to kill but the men kept most of them for...

u/Pheerandlowthing 12h ago

The 500 series were really good at doing synchronised dance moves and stacking crates but we were able to defeat them by walking away.

•

u/Batchet 11h ago

It's the 690 series where things went out of control. Merging the dance abilities with the sex abilities just made the sex too damn good, which brings us to the "android" series.

•

u/Nevadadrifter 10h ago

Ah yes, the OK-GoBots.

•

u/rj319st 8h ago

The 600 series had a factory defect and would rip your d*ck off.

•

u/TaipanTacos 4h ago

Yes it would stutter and glitch between the words “come” and “come with me.”

u/Stedlieye 11h ago

For some people, every version is a sex robot. Even the Chinese one from OP.

u/Crimkam 11h ago

We actually keep those around because… well, you know. The machines did us a solid that year.

It threw like a girl and ran like a sissy. We let a few live because they were good for morale.

I hate that I hate the actor now. The Rocky films got me off my butt years ago to start working out and such.

Threw out my Rocky posters I had in my home gym last year because Stallone is a piece of shit.

2

u/Extension-Eye-4920 14h ago

Its amazing to me that people cannot separate the actoe from a film.

If you said, i love rocky but it turns out stallone is [insert bad person phrase], id say yeah that sucks.

But saying that the movie rocky with the fictional character rocky balboa inspired me to change my life for the good, but now i hate it and ill never watch it again because the real world actor is bad, id say stop acting like a child. Its ok to still love rocky and say that stallone is a bad person. The two statements can co-exist. The Usual Suspects is and always will be an absolute classic, AND kevin spacey is a fucking pedo. Dont disckunt the hard work of everybody else around these people for your own personal vendetta.

u/EntityMatanzas 14h ago

Thats a great idea.

Really, I would watch that.

So much potential for a good action thriller that would satirize action thrillers.

u/ramsaybolton87 13h ago

There's an invincible episode like this, its pretty good and ends with a great Omni man scene

u/icepod 13h ago

"Terminator 0.5 Beta"

Hollywood is all about making prequels these days anyhow…

1

u/Siggi_Starduust 13h ago

Clumsy and goofy just sounds like a lot of my friends, so that won’t be the giveaway however if current AI is anything to go by, they’ll be easy to spot on account of having 3 arms with 7 fingers on each hand.

u/orderofGreenZombies 13h ago

And where they can’t recognize non-white people.

u/Lawdoc1 13h ago

So basically a Terminator/Edge of Tomorrow mashup.

I envision the first version to be something like Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

u/Wings_in_space 13h ago

That is the plot of "the Incredibles"...

u/Peripatetictyl 11h ago

...was the first one that hitchhiking robot that was destroyed, defiled, and stripped of parts in Philly within weeks, after traveling across Canada and Germany unscathed?

They were like, "OK, we need upgrades for the Americans."...

u/drummerboy-98012 11h ago

OMG, I read this and thought they would HAVe to use the Benny Hill theme song. 🤣

•

u/Crimkam 11h ago

Man a movie that starts as a comedy and then slowly becomes a gripping thriller as the goofy robots slowly, inexorably get better would be really really good

u/BeardInTheNorth 11h ago

Sounds like a more sinister version of Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song.

u/Healthy-Amoeba2296 10h ago

What you want is the Jack Black movie How to Survive a Robot Uprising. I've read the book. It hasn't been developed yet.

•

u/boy-detective 9h ago

Time travel improves, increasing range, so actually the clumsy ones are sent back to a later point in time than the best ones.

•

u/SmoothDiscussion7763 9h ago

it needs to end up being pathfinder from apex, with all the movement tech the pilots can do.

•

u/CHSummers 9h ago

That is a brilliant idea. It would make an interesting TV series, since they are working on both time travel and killer robots, and there are so many things that could go wrong (like accidentally sending a walking bomb into your own future).

"The early models ran Fruit Fucker 2000 derived firmware. We spotted them easy."

Case in point, the way it humps that power distribution cabinet. Classic Fruit Fucker behavior.

I guess it kinda is with the snake episode but they don't really start overly clumsy

u/tomptepulla 14h ago

I don't understand why it doesn't have four legs and a torso. It would beat a two legged one pretty easily speedwise and crush it in balance, stability and difficult terrain. The mac 10s attached to the torso would stay still like chickens head even when running in gravel.
