McG Blogs: New Terminators in T4, SPOILER Ending, PG-13

It didn’t take Warner Bros. long to send McG out there to tackle the recent rumor that surfaced just a day ago that purported to be the ending of “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins”. (You can read that here if you have no idea what I’m talking about.) In a sly attempt to put down the rumor that the ending as mentioned in the link is true, McG spent most of his second blog talking about the new brand of Terminators that will be showing up in T4, including the T-600 (we won’t see the T-800 yet), and as he wrapping up his entry, he throws out this: “By the way, there are only three people who know the ending.”

Now that’s pretty slick.

McG spent most of the blog talking about the new Terminators, about how silly his name sounds, but that it really is his name (he’s had it since childhood, apparently), about why we shouldn’t worry about the PG-13 rating, and just threw out that last part about the T4 spoiler as if it was no big deal. As if to say, “And oh yeah, that’s bullshit, but since it’s obviously bullshit, I’m not going to spend a lot of time telling you it’s bullshit, so this way it’ll appear even more bullshit because I just don’t feel the need to dismiss it with any real effort.” Nicely done, McG!

Anyways, here’s what he said about the new Terminators that will be putting down the Resistance in T4:

This movie takes place several years after Judgment Day, but prior to 2029. Just like it took a long time to get an HD plasma screen in our world, it took Skynet a lot of research and development to get to the T-800, and this movie explores that “space between.” We have all been fascinated with the world after Judgment Day. Here it is.

In this film, there are Hydrobots that patrol the water, Transports that move human prisoners around, Harvesters that collect human beings as lab rats for Skynet and Aerostats that survey all that is going on with the resistance the world over.

We’ve started shooting the T-600 - the bigger, grimier, nastier version that preceded the T-800.

Like Reese says, they’re easier to spot but they pack a mini gun and carry kick ass fire power. They’re eight-foot tall killers that prowl the badlands looking for anything with a heartbeat to terminate.
