And This Terminator Goes “Vroom!”
With all the high hopes/bitching about the Star Trek, Watchmen and Dragonball movies (okay, no one has any hope whatsoever for the Dragonball movie), I think most of us have forgotten there’s a new Terminator movie coming out. Since having Christian Bale as the lead at least somewhat mitigates having the film directed by McG, Terminator Salvation hasn’t really earned the optimism or pessimism of the previously mentioned flicks. Until now.
This is a “Moto-Terminator,” which?and I’m totally guessing here?might be short for “motorcycle terminator.” It’s one of the many terminating machines that will be in Terminator Salvation, as you might have guessed from its glowing red eyes. Now, I just have to think that fans will think this is awesome, or a total affront to the franchise; I’ve never been that invested in the Terminator, so I’ll happily set this one out. Is it an awesome ray of hope? Or has McG just farted in your face? (Via Geekologie)
