"This is what i originally thought Cameron was. I think it may have been a cool route fo the show to take, and certainly would have made the John/Cam shipping much more believable. Up until AFP aired, it certainly could have been that way. But as it turns out, she is just a plain-Jane T-800 style Terminator with a few technological upgrades (smarter chip, ability to eat, color vision etc.)

Maybe that would be a good AU fanfic for someone to write. Kind of follow T4 continuity. The Marcus Wright project failed, but Skynet had one more "true" cyborg prototype to use. Hell... it wouldn't even have quite so AU if you assumed that Skynet made the android Cameron Phillips, then used the dead body of Allison Young to build a Marcus-style cyborg.

Sorry... getting off topic and allowing my imagination to ramble..."

"This is something my brother, Thecomputerw, tried to make but he was booed out of Dodge. "

"... and then she totally gonna get him to make out with her once, you forgot! *lol*"

"I don't believe Vick Chamberlain's relationship with his 'wife' was intimate for him, he was simply following a personality program designed to produce the proper reaction from her."

"I am a Temporal Cupid model TC-77 (my friends call me Tee-See, or Double-Sev') My mission is to hook up Mr. Connor and Miss Young. My weapons are Imagination-Stretcing Arrows, Canon-Braking Cannon, and a bale of straws to grasp at. I also have a magical Gibson SG, and every time I break out into a wailing guitar solo, all males and females within earshot become uncontrollable horny. It's the perfect combo make Jallison magic happen. "

"To be a cyborg it would have to have something from a "human" , marcus had a heart and maybe his own human brain. i think the brain would be the main reasn to make a cyborg, what would be the point in something all machine, but it has a human eye or leg or hand ?
6 million dollar man had machine legs and I think 1 machine eye, 1 machine arm?
but rest was human, so he was a sensible "cyborg".
Cameron had skin but it wasnt from a human, it has rapid healing abilities, so was skin that was made or grown in factory/ lab.
she would be a android, but who cares if she is android or cyborg?
and all terminators aside from marcus have been androids not cyborgs.
I think the reason for this is cyborg just sounds better than android, also sounds meaner, scarier."

"Funny you should bring up the Six Million Dollar Man because the book that series was based on was called “Cyborg.”

Strictly speaking, Terminators are nether androids or cyborgs but robots in the classical sense.

A cyborg is an organic being that has had some of it's organic components replaced with artificial components. Example, the Borg/Cybermen/Daleks/Marcus/Steve Austin

A android is a completely artificial being made in human form. Example, Data/Ash

A robot can be anything in shape or size but in scifi denotes a mechanical automation.

Because Terminator's are Endo's and don't require or depend on the organic parts to function they are not cyborgs, and in Endo form do not appear human so aren't androids.

However when these designations were coined there was no description for a robot that is made to look human with organic parts, so because we need to call it something, stretching either description, to cover a Endo in infiltration disguise, isn't strictly breaking any rule, but isn't what I call a good fit."

"So did I, sorry.

Pretty short topic tho. Thread title says it all."
