Didn't the original cut for Salvation had the rubber skin? I don't remember them showing up.
This savages my nerd brain. Cool design but so tall. Why?
Some interesting T600 notes on the Terminator fandom Wiki page
John Connor notes that the T-600 Terminator is a primitive design. It's bulky and slow and the shoulder joints and the back are vulnerable to gun fire. Also, the motor functions are susceptible and can be momentarily impaired by a knife attack to the targeting system in the back of the neck. The T-600 is easily detectable due to its size and lack of covering over its mechanics.
- Despite its oversized hulking appearance as an Infiltrator, a seven to eight feet tall Terminator mocked-up as a human would only need to disguise itself well enough to get within firing range of a human camp, as it is very difficult to judge size from a distance, as Marcus Wright mistook the Los Angeles T-600 as a human.
As a result of these shortcomings, Skynet superseded the T-600 Terminator with the faster, and sleeker Terminator series known as the T-800, which featured living tissue over its metal endoskeleton and a hyperalloy combat chassis. However, the T-600 Terminator may still be encountered providing fire-support for the T-800 Terminators.
Additionally, the rubber skin on the T-600 is less durable to weathering, making it easily peeled off. Thus, the inner structure will be exposed, sometimes it even rusts.
I was only posting as it was informative, not because I had any issue with your original point.
Despite the silly humor peppered throughout, that movie has one hell of a bleak ending.T3 was gloomy?
I marathoned them all a few months ago. T3 wasn't holding up as well as I remembered but then it got to the end.The ending of Terminator 3 still holds up.
That's true, I forgot about that. I'll at least give them credit for leaning into Judgment Day.Despite the silly humor peppered throughout, that movie has one hell of bleak ending.
The ending of Terminator 3 still holds up.
Despite none of these films at all living up to T1 & 2, I can still watch them and get various bits of enjoyment out of them. Same goes for the Predator and Alien Franchises after the amazing starting films.
Yep, just a shame none of them have approached the same quality.Same with all the franchises. But with Terminator, I just look at all the sequels as alternate timelines.

T3 is such a mixed bag but for a PG13(12A in the UK) it had one brutal scene which rivalled the worst kill of the series (T1 in which the T800 punches through the blonde punk)

Ahh my bad man i just assumed. So R rated is what in UK rating. I often get confused, ours is U,PG 12A,15,18. I gather 15 is equal to your R rated or have i got that wrong again loolT3 was rated R in the US, probably thanks to that scene and the obligatory brief nudity when the Terminators show up in the beginning.
I think it varies depending on the movie but 15 is probably equivalent to R here. If it's something that's really racy then I think it gets slapped with an 18. It's funny now that I remember it because that summer of 2003 both T3 and The Matrix Reloaded were both rated R and they probably could have gotten away with a PG-13 with a few edits here and there.Ahh my bad man i just assumed.

This is especially true for me with Rise of the Machines and Salvations. I have only seen Genysis once though and I feel it's probably for the best.Despite none of these films at all living up to T1 & 2, I can still watch them and get various bits of enjoyment out of them.
