Discussion: Who is better, T-1000 or T-X?

"T-1000:
Can flatten itself into a floor
Can pass through small openings
Can form blades and stabbing weapons
Can make his front his back and vice versa
Uses a cop as its default form
Can regenerate lost bodyparts

T-X:
Can use advance weaponry such as plasma canons
Can take shotgun hits without geting stunned
Is triple jointed
Can control other machines

"Where's the power supply and where's the CPU?
Neither one of these things can morph or change.
CPU's can't change shape mid-process and not have the computer crash.
I bet the right metal in a shaped charge would vaporise a T-1000 to stinky hot mist.

Rigid endo-skeleton makes more sense to me."

"I always thought that the T-1000 was kinda a cheat.

"I think it depends on the mission. For infiltration/surveillance, NOTHING could beat the T-1000. It could get into your house without anyone noticing it and then it would -be- your house and you could end up getting stabbed by the -floor- for crying out loud!

As for terminating, the T-X is a superior adversary. No, it may not be as adaptive and versatile as the T-1000, but it doesn't have the T-1000's main drawback, that it would either need to get its hand on a weapon or get up close to kill someone. The T-X has built in weapons that can be used from some distance. Remember, the T-1000 was forever running after them, sometimes very close, but almost never in a position to effectively use its main weapon: itself! Stabbing blindly at something you can't see (in the lift scene) is not effective, it only ended up scratching Sarah Connor. The T-X on the other hand, could have taken them out at such a close range. The T-X at least got her hands on John and would still have taken him out if the T800/101 had not intervened! A T-X with a good, long range projectile weapon would have been a huge threat. Also, the T-1000 seemed to be much more affected by gunshots and even metal stabbing weapons than the T-X. Constantly having to adjust its appearance seemed to slow it down, if only a little. The T-X also was capable of fulfilling at least part of her mission, taking out several key Resistance fighters. It even took out General Brewster, right under the nose of the T800/101!

I think the main difference between more advanced Terminators like Cromarty, in ep1, and the T-X is their capability to carry weapons with them. Neither the T800/101 nor the T-1000 had any weapons with them. Without weapons lying around everywhere (it is the United States after all) they would have been much less useful. Being able to take your own weapons with you, especially advanced weapons from the future, is a HUGE advantage. I wonder why Cameron doesn't have one!"

"as far as pure killing goes, T-X all the way. T-1000 is good but some circumstances it will just be useless. remember the particle accelerator? only a T-X could have survived & escaped that. T-1000 would not be able to retain its solid forms & as for the 800s models, they would be stuck on the accelerator unable to move. you could just pop its chip out
also, shot gun could slow the T-1000 down, can't do that with T-X"
