| Jul 5, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | Gianluca Ghettini | why always a cop? because James Cameron didn't want to pay many people interpreting the T1000 !!! | |
| Apr 3, 2015 at 4:50 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @enorl76 Not necessarily for mild heat.. | |
| Apr 2, 2015 at 19:47 | comment | added | enorl76 | The quote where the T800 noted that the T1000 cant form complex machines or bombs (ie chemistry). You'd need some kind of chemical reaction happening to generate heat. | |
| Apr 1, 2015 at 2:41 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @enorl76 Do you have canon backup to say he doesn't give off heat? Claytronics is more complex than you think. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 20:53 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | @Daft "Arnie could identify him on sight." Where in the movie was that established? | |

| Mar 31, 2015 at 17:53 | comment | added | enorl76 | Of note, the T1000 probably didnt give off body heat, hence, easy for a T800 to identify as non-human. | |

| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:47 | comment | added | phantom42 | related, possible dupe:Why doesn't the T-1000 retain the shape of the slain security guard?. Richard's answer explains that the robert patrick form is more energy efficient and that its mass is similar to his own base size. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:44 | comment | added | Daft | @phantom42 Yeah he changes multiple times while he's tracking John Conor, but once he encounters Arnie, he just seems to default to that cop. There's probably some in-universe reason like the cops symmetrical face inspired respect in humans, or something to that effect. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:42 | comment | added | phantom42 | Uh.. he does change into different people through the movie. He changes into at least two cops, the step-mother, and sarah. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | Daft | @SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 well when they first meet in the hallway when Arnie has the shotgun in the box of roses. He seems to be able to identify him at a distance. I've no reference to back it up really, but that's what it looked like to me. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:38 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @Daft Yes, being a cop can give him benefits, but couldn't he change into different cop? BTW, if you have canon backup to prove that Arnie could identify him irrespective of his look, then it can be an answer. | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:38 | comment | added | Ashandes | This is probably a plothole (possibly due to the cost of the effect or concerns the audience would get confused), but... was there ever a point in the film when he could have walked near him in a different form? I'm trying to remember the chronology, but after their initial encounter and chase is he ever in a position to surprise them again? | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 15:35 | comment | added | Daft | What was the point of changing? Arnie could identify him on sight. Plus being a cop gave him all the benefits of being a cop. | |
