Images?[]
Is it possible to get any images of the TS-300? Also, what does the "S" stand for? Darth Raivon 10:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Easily, I can generate 5 from book scans. This goes with my intention to place pics in some kind of Models gallery for the terminators. The "S" stands for Stealth IE: Terminator-Stealth. This is in deference to the upgrade in infiltration specific modifications to the design, organ emulations, bones, and personality scans etc.Fulongamer 11:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
So is the TS-300 part human or are the organs and bones artificial? How strong, tough, resilient is it compared to the other models (T-800s, T-900s etc)? Is it similar to the robots in the film "I, Robot"? Darth Raivon 12:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Um, did you read the article? Synthetic. Artificial organs. Ceramic endoskeleton. Stronger, faster, and more limber than 800s. Very similar to late-generation I, Robot I guess, or perhaps more realistically identified as Replicant analogs from Blade Runner. Timeline-wise it may exist parallel to the 900s, TX, and T1000, but they were a MIR design fielded in Siberia only, and only had contact with HK Aerial transports, Series 800's, and an HK Tank variant (mini) in the comic-verse.Fulongamer 12:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry, I couldn't quite picture it, hence the obvious questions. I get it now though, less like "I, Robot" more like "Bicentenial Man". Thanks for humouring me during my momentary stupidity. Keep up the good work. Darth Raivon 17:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Stealth Terminator[]
This section is really interesting. It reminds me of Cameron's little memory mishap in "Allison from Palmdale". She actually thought she was Allison. I wonder if this comic book is where the writers got the idea?? sec_1971 22:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
It would be very interesting if Cameron turned out to be a TS-300-esque Terminator. The only problem though, is that she has a metal endoskeleton, whereas TS-300s are ceramic. Then again, discrepancies occur all over the place, so who knows. Darth Raivon 23:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Not to nitpick, but ceramics can and do often have a metallic appearance, for example Titanium-Carbide. Also Tantalum/Niobium-Carbide(derived from Coltan) are both ceramics and are EXTREMELY hard(diamond like). Developements for rocket engine nozzles are using high-tech ceramics and cermets(ceramic-metallic) due to their extreme strength, corrosion and heat resistance(like from episode "Heavy Metal"). And an intersting note: synthetic rubies and sapphires are made from ceramics(alumina, corundum) for use in kW and mW laser systems. -Grimace427 13:12, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- Some other cool ceramics...
- -Silicon Carbide..."Dragon Skin" personal body armor, high performance automotive braking systems.
- -Boron Carbide...current U.S. military issue Interceptor body armor ballistic plates.
- -Tungsten Carbide...various cutting and drilling tools, vehicle armor, armor-piercing projectiles.
- -Titanium Boride...future advanced armor development.
- -Titanium Nitride...ultrahard coating for cutting and drilling tools. TiN coating is commercially available for high-end knives.
- -Halfnium Diboride...possible future use in atmospheric reentry heatshields for ICBM's and spacecraft.
- ...the list goes on... _Grimace427 14:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
