| Sep 12, 2019 at 7:52 | comment | added | komodosp | What do you mean by humanoids not being efficient? Even though it's shaped like a humanoid it can still run very fast and perform feats of great strength (keeping up with John on his motorbike and taking on Arnie in a fight) | |
| Sep 11, 2019 at 20:41 | comment | added | Alex S | "It cannot do Complex Machinery & Systems" As defined and described in the Movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-1000 | terminator.fandom.com/wiki/T-1000. Search for Complex in these pages and you'll see. | |
| Sep 11, 2019 at 19:14 | comment | added | Almo | It allowed the trailer to confuse people about Arnold and the T-1000 which looked like a cop. | |

| Sep 11, 2019 at 14:33 | comment | added | TripeHound | If "can become anything it touches" is an accurate description of its abilities (it's a long time since I saw the film), then it doesn't matter that "Humans aren't very efficient" – they just have to be more efficient than anything else nearby. Which – if it "cannot replicate complex machines" – probably means humans or dogs. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 17:18 | comment | added | AdamV | I'm pretty sure the T800 (Arnie) says it can change shape but cannot replicate complex machines (or moving machines, or something like that) or chemicals such as explosives. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | Stian | Since it looks like you are asking for an "in universe" answer, I will leave this as a comment. As for the movie-creation part: It is well known that human-like non humans is really really scary. The uncanny valley is a known thing. Thus for the movie to be a better thriller, the robot should be alternating between very human-like and human-like-but-not-at-all because it is the changes between them we find extra scary. Ref the first time you realized John's mom actually was the T1000... It is a part of what makes the movie successful. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 14:14 | comment | added | Hans Olo | @Darren Human != humanoid. Asking if T-1000 is human, then the answer is clearly no, as T-1000 is not flesh & blood etc etc. Humanoid refers to the more general human-like shape (two arms and two legs, a torso, a head etc), so it's more clear (perhaps concise was the wrong word there). | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 13:46 | comment | added | Darren | @Rebel-Scum how does making the question longer make it more concise? Are there any instances of it not being a human that would make using the word humanoid more accurate? | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 10:33 | comment | added | Hans Olo | I've slightly edited the question to make it more concise, ie human -> humanoid. Feel free to revert if you think it changes the meaning of your question. | |
