Over at Popular Mechanics, there's a maniacally detailed comparison of every Terminator from all the movies and the new TV show — including helpful information on how to defeat them. Writer Erik Sofge even gives you information on how each Terminator was made, and speculates about its level of A.I. So which Terminator comes out on top?
Sofge writes:
The T-X [from Terminator 3] could, in theory, take over all of the others—and that's it, fight's over. Or it could assume control of the T-1000, which, so long as the cage match isn't happening in a foundry or near an active volcano, would get knocked down a lot, but like a robot Hulk Hogan (or possibly Hollywood Hogan, his later, evil incarnation) always, always get back up. Without firing a single shot or throwing a single punch, the T-X would become mistress and commander of its Terminator opposition, either by assimilating the competition, or having its shapeshifting champion clean house.Well, you'll have to read the rest of the article to find out.But if a single suicidal T-850 shows up, the T-X's party is over. With an overloaded fuel cell constantly up every T-850's sleeve, the question becomes, Can a T-1000 survive that sort of devastation?
See how the Terminators measure up at Popular Mechanics.

What type of terminator is that new one from the tv show?
Isn't the point of the last two movies to show that the T-850 would always win in the end because it somehow becomes imbued with a spark of humanity which the others never do?
T-X?! T-100? T-850? Phhiit!!! My T-SR80 would kick all their @$$'s
Their entire premise is flawed; T3 never happened. Never, I say, NEVER!
(God, what an awful movie.)
@diverguy: Did you mean T-RS80? Because that would have been kinda funny.
@MatthewT:
Yeah.. that's what I meant.. I realized the typo after I'd pressed submit. But I couldn't edit the message so I just sucked it up as a funny joke lost in time... damn
My Roomba can kick all your asses.
Who cares. What I want to know is who would win in a mudwrestling match between the Taminator and Boomer from Battlestar Galactica.
@seanohara:
Well, the answer to that is obvious: Starbuck.
@Macloserboy: The T-850 can learn the true meaning...of friendship.
@JosephFinn: T3 was not a scifi movie, it was an action movie.
@braak: Today on a very special Terminator LXIX, the T-850 makes a life altering decision.
@Lars: It was a steaming pile, is what it was.
@JosephFinn: Damn straight. Even the production values were crap on T3.
Mario Van Peebles as SOLO. Now that guy was a bad ass robot.
And an Ass Bad movie.
The T-1 million would won hands down if it had been included.
Think T-1000 the size of Godzilla. You need that kind of muscle to protect one of the main terminator assembly plants powered by SkyNet.
Meh. I sat through the Terminator 3D Show at Universal. All you need is a lot of liquid nitrogen, a grenade or two, and a lot of electricity to knock it out apparently. If a T-850 and a teenage kid can kill the T-1M, then it's no big thing.
I think a long reading of Daniel H. Wilson's "How To Survive A Robot Uprising" is in order >:P
