Moto-Terminator: Arnold gets his dream bike
Click above for larger shots of the Moto-Terminator
When artificial intelligence finally figures out that its creators are inconvenient pests in the way of its quest to control the entire world, some of the first machines created by the supercomputers will be motorcycles. Come on, it makes sense, doesn't it? Single-track vehicles can go places that their four-wheeled brethren can't fit, and are quicker in getting there to boot. Of course, it's a bit harder to fit a butt-load of weapons on a two-wheeler, but AI is smart enough to have that problem fixed with gyroscopic turrets on each side, particularly when there's no carbon-based rider.
Looking at the early preproduction pictures of the concept Moto-Terminator makes us pretty excited to see what else is in store for the fourth Terminator installment. We're pretty geeked by the way the bike's backbone is made up of a mechanized humanoid, complete with the requisite red eyes up front instead of headlights. In a word, awesome.

Thank God. He jacked up my state as the Governor. I don't want to see his mug on anything that would even remotely interest me.

But he said he will be back! ;)

Not in California. I'll move.

Hopefully this movie is better than the third one. With Christian Bale, I bet it will be.
I am looking forward to it either way.

I hope they don't try to bring in any story elements from the tv show. The movies do not need married terminators or terminators taking their kids to psychotherapy.

No need to worry about that.
Since the whole premise of the TV series is "Terminator 3 sucked, so we'll pretend it never happened.", I doubt that it will have anything to do with the movie.
Also has the nice side effect that if Terminator 4 is as bad as 3, at least the TV series won't be affected.

This has nothing to do with cars. Or motorcycles.

Really?
I don't know about you, but I can clearly see pictures of a concept motorcycle there.

No, you clearly see drawings of a CGI movie prop that is loosely based on a motorcycle. I doubt anyone is posting pics of T-800 skeletons as news on robotics blogs.

it's directed by McG - You know, the jackass that did the TV show "The O.C." and "Charlie's Angels- Full Throttle". Not even Christian Bale can save this turdsicle.

I wonder if I can mount gyroscopic turrets on each side of my Shadow? That would be the last time some SOB on a cell phone cuts me off.

The new incarnation of "Terminator" is supposedly doing away with a lot of what the first three represented. Hopefully

Yes, I believe it goes back to the future, if you will. It is the story of John Conner's rise to the leader of the rebels (or something to that nature), if I am not mistaken.

I believe it's designed to be autonomous or better yet, sentient.
