What's a Terminator supposed to do once it successfully terminated its target? Let's say the 1984 one.

He was effay af

Probably melt itself so humans can't get its technology.

probably just chill out for a while

Jump under press?

>hide itself in a location known to not be touched until judgement day
>come out on judgement day

What if James Cameron is a terminator?

Wait.

causality loop..it just cant ever happen

Do a bunch of movies with shitty accent and become gouverneur of california...obviously.

According to T2, the Terminator would move on to secondary targets. They have a hit list.

Ensure the creation of Skynet, maybe.

Make money, fund the research, etc etc.

It would always have to be found for its components. Finding crushed Arnold in the press is how Skynet was developed so quickly. Without that it we wouldn't have Judgment Day as early the original '97 date.

Letting himself get caugh would be à better idea. Human will acquire new advanced technology from the terminator and that can only help the creation of Skynet sooner

He probably had other secondary missions to execute

Like killing important people of the resistance, helping create Skynet and so on

>According to T2,

You mean T3?

Shut down and wait for Judgment Day, probably. Or maybe Skynet programmed it with a secondary objective, like aid it's development.

>make money

>Scans the guy, scans the counter, checks the date, pulls up a a series of numbers and different locations.
>Highlights an odd number sequence

...

Keep killing humans to apprimorate the techniques and save the data in memory for future use.

probably kill itself. it wouldn't risk getting caught which would make people more suspicious in future. just kill the target, alter the future as little as possible otherwise

kek

>cannot self terminate

>probably kill itself.

If it said it can't self-terminate in the second movie why would it be any different in the first?

Continue to work behind the scenes to usher in Judgement Day

whoops. forgot about that.

but maybe it was specific to that rogue terminator. something programmed in by the resistance

>but maybe it was specific to that rogue terminator. something programmed in by the resistance

Objection, reaching!!

Go out to the desert and bury itself, emerging on judgement day to help Skynet.

Run for governer.

>hello gun shop owner man, i'm a robot from the future, do you have any guns with lasersight?

what did he mean by this

>phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range
Wouldn't his databanks know that that weaponry wasn't available?

It was a funny line

Eliminate the secondary targets

He actually was lol
