Then why does the Terminator flinch when it fires the .45 long slide. Or looks surprised and scared when Reese is jumping around at Tech Noir.
because, as i mentioned, terminator has live nerves in its flesh and uses them. T1 measures pulse, T2 feels Sarah's wounds while sewing her wounds. T1 has pissed, shocked or disgusted faces. T2 -
after his chip was restarted - makes tired, worried, smiling faces. shock twitches must be a part of mimicry program. remember the one eye doll whose flesh definitely doesn't like the post-cut feelings!
that's easily explained by mentioned nerves channels in his skull, similar to actual nerves channels on a human skull. a terminator doesn't have wires in his flesh, but he has to articulate words, mimic different faces to be an infiltrator. so actual nerves must be used - and that is proved by nerve channels in the skull, by emotions on both T1/T2 faces, by moving flesh on a doll that played a cut-out eye.
BTW T2 behaviour could be explained by said above. T1 is definitely not in "read" mode from the beginning. he learns as easy as T2 begins only after a chip reset, he has fake emotions from the beginning. being programmed by Skynet, he could have Skynet's attitude towards humans from the beginning as well: something like despice that made skynet "decide human fate in a microsecond".
T2 could be just blank, with no pre-written attitude. that could easily explain no special efforts for killing: where T1 kills just because he can, T2 goes away. remember "mom's cabin" - T1/T-1000 kill the parent, T2 drives away. T1 kills for a knife threat and attack, T2 lets everybody go for a multiple weapons threat and attack.
yeah that explanation works for me. in this way T2 and T1 just aren't the same from the beginning (while T-1000 definitely is, getting the same "base profile" from Skynet).
BUT the same explanation would explain T3, who was not "blank" anymore, just rewritten over basic skynet severity: he wasn't as soft as T2 for sure ))
"- are you here to kill me? - hmmmm... not yet."
T1 Terminator has more feelings than T2 Terminator.
T1 had more programmed emotions than T2 from the beginning. plus he had to take many of them from murdered victims. T2, as i mentioned, after a chip reset learned to have mimics, too. people around him could worry, smile or feel tired or sad, those are the faces of terminator in the second part of the movie. i hope i don't have to put screenshots for every face, as you have the movie, too. i can only find a pic of skull holes compared to human skull, if you need it, but i'll need some (big) time to find it in some old thread, as i posted it when DX13 wasn't even selling as i recall.
now i have to go to sleep, as it all definitely tries to turn into this ))
