Nov 13 2008A Peek At The Terminator Salvation Bike

Allegedly this is the 'Moto-Terminator' bike set to appear in next year's Terminator Salvation featuring Christian Bale and Dick Dragon.
Production director Martin Laing was responsible for envisioning some of the near-future killing devices, and has created (among a lot of other scary looking metal) this Moto-Terminator motorcycle. The bike seems to be the chilling Terminator character we know and love in motorcycle form (note the signature red "eyes"), replete with plenty of new mean toys attached.
ZOMG, the Terminator as a motorcycle. What will they think of next?
A: Transformers.

Thanks to Jordon, who once fell off the back of a motorcycle and into a homeless bag-lady's heart.

awesome.

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake, the shadows are all wrong.
This looks a lot like Max's brothers bike in the movie Never Back Down.

I'd ride it.

@1 really awsome.
It's way better than the tumbler.
Bale is really lucky to ride on this baby.
Btw? Will there be any motorcycle-like robots on the new Terminator?

That's a whole lot of f***ing awesome! If they had this instead of that R.V. in Stripes, it would have won the Oscar!
7. Gizmo Mogato - November 13, 2008 12:11 PM
I meant TRANSFORMERS 2...
8. Douche McAllister - November 13, 2008 12:12 PM
@5 That is the terminator

A "PEEK", not a "PEAK".

dude
Christian Bale? Come on
I hate famous actors in big movies
11. McGloin - November 13, 2008 12:15 PM
Forget the Terminator, the real judgement day has come and passed, and guess what? HUMANS lost, a rotten microphone headed ape made it into the oval office. Seeing that shit on Deep Impact was bad enough but in real life, thats TOO FAR!
You new age American wretches!
12. guate6 - November 13, 2008 12:15 PM
They need video of this thing. Looks neat, let's see it in action.
13. Ellerman - November 13, 2008 12:16 PM
Wait, wait, wait...
Isn't that the motorcycle that one guy used in Never Back Down??
14. Moose Knuckle - November 13, 2008 12:23 PM
Crap, does Christian Bale have to have a motorcycle in All his movies, wasn't that a Tomahawk he was riding in "Empire of the Sun"?.
15. manbull7 - November 13, 2008 12:29 PM
Are you all as_ holes! You don't ride it!, it is a Terminator! Independent and just as in all the Terminator movies just another machine to remove the human race. Damn! has any of you even seen the movies!
Sorry just a little roid rage popping through..
16. Davo - November 13, 2008 12:32 PM
@15, duh, it is its own killing machine, but I'd still ride it nonetheless.
What I want to know is, can it change its own flat tire?
17. RIMTUCK - November 13, 2008 12:41 PM
@3, no wonder your hack failed. You have an A: drive floppy disk, LOL!!
18. windoshoppa - November 13, 2008 12:46 PM
Why the hell would the Terminators make a motorcycle version of themselves? That's retarded. Low mobility, falls over, I mean WTF? Is the hovering/flying thing not good enough?
19. Gizmo Mogato - November 13, 2008 12:48 PM
@15 scrawny little white boy! You meant to say Ritalin side effects poppin through? Something is wrong with your name, change it to Pete Langley. Sounds more appropriate for your true physique/body structure.
Terminator sucks without Arnold. I won't be surprised if they drop it. And whoever thought of making another Terminator sequel is just one piece of assf***.
Hollywood nowadays is composed of unoriginal film-makers that rip-offs other peoples works. Senseless sequels/prequels, video game films, 80's & 90's cartoons to movies, live action adaptation, japanese film remakes and a whole bunch of friggin remakes.
I sure am paying to see this shit and complain about how John Connor didn't butt-f*** the Terminator. The only good thing that comes out of Hollywood is porn.

THIS IS F*ING AWESOME! I DONT CARE IF YOU CAN RIDE IT OR NOT I WANT TO SEE SOME VIDEO!!!!
21. Anthony - November 13, 2008 1:21 PM
I'm with windoshoppa, why the hell would they build a frickin motorcycle when they have terminators that can fly and hover. This is just another director thinking he can market his film to men ages 17-49 if he shows them a really cool motorcycle. And by taking a quick count of the "awesome" posts, it looks like he was right.
22. LSDiesel - November 13, 2008 1:22 PM
If I could make a motorcycle version of myself, it would probably be a motorized scooter that backfired every time you sped up.
23. Warren Piece - November 13, 2008 1:31 PM
18 & 21 - EXACTLY my thought. Do they also have auto-engaging kick stands? 'Cause the minute they stop moving they fall.
24. Think of a cool name - November 13, 2008 1:37 PM
@23 um, they probably should be able to stand on their own. Haven't you heard of Segways? Yah, motorcycles should do that kind of stuff too. Kickstands are so yesterday.

Dick Dragon? Really?
What a coincidence - my nickname in college was Draggin' Dick.
26. mr quackums - November 13, 2008 4:29 PM
think about the terminator future timeline for a second. the terminators (all 5 of them) were sent after/just as john Conner lead a successful rebellion against the robots. Connor's dad (guy from the 1st movie, i forgot his name) even said that realistic humanoid terminators did not appear until the end of the first robot war. it makes sense that because skynet is a modern defense program it would use contemporary styles of robots to kill.
hell, even at the end of #3 (which was god awful except for that 1 chase scene) they showed a terminator with tank treads.

How does this fit in with the post apocalyptic scene?
Remember everything has been blown up by nukes and its all a nuclear wasteland.
And its not going to be Terminator because ARNIE isn't in it!!! How the fk is it Terminator without Arnie???
Just gonna be a spin off made by a selfish director looking to drain fans of the true films!
28. manbull7 - November 13, 2008 6:25 PM
Hmmm, the chances that this "Thing" even shows up at all in the movie, and if it does, its appearance would probably be very brief... SO why all the talk, lets just hope we never have to go with out the movie industry producing films for us to enjoy.
29. bR1an - November 13, 2008 9:39 PM
I hate this movie already.
30. Dr.Freak - November 14, 2008 12:51 AM
Why isn't this in I Watch Stuff?
31. smon - November 14, 2008 4:49 AM
This is rubbish. I much prefered it when, if you were going to be hunted down like a dog, it was by a really fit woman terminator thingy.
32. Stiles - November 14, 2008 4:57 AM
Christian Bale + cool motorcycle = $$$MONEY$$$
wtf?
33. mr quackums - November 14, 2008 5:33 AM
How does this fit in with the post apocalyptic scene?
Remember everything has been blown up by nukes and its all a nuclear wasteland.
that is part of skynet's plan to capture/kill the humans. in this movie skynet is till in its infancy, it probably wont even go self aware until the movie is 1/3 in and wont turn on ppl till the 1/2 way mark, so no nukes till 2/3, prison camp at 3/4, complete uprising and send back arnold at the very end. will it be a rushed story? probably. will it suck? almost definitely. but i hope it wont deviate too far from the future timeline (i dont care if the movie itslef sucks, i care more about the integrity of the story).
i cant believe i am the only terminator fanboy posting here.

First off, street tyres: only good on the street and flats would require another machine to fix. Hopefully the machines paved everything after the holocaust and don't mind wasting energy creating and operating a support machine for the primary hunter/killers.
Second, short suspension travel: Once again, only usable on the pavement. Due to the probability of massive debris after a holocaust this would be a terrible design flaw.
Thirdly, two mini guns: massive ammo consumtion, no storage for ammo, need other machine to reload.
Fourthly, feeders/tubes: easily snag on debris and are none too aerodynamic.
Fifthly, Gyros: I can see that, due to the mini guns' ability to remain level during manuvering, there must be gyros on board. This feature would allow the bike to remain vertical when stopped. However, they will definitely impede the ability for the machine to deal with pitch/roll/yaw characteristics usually experienced by vehicles. This will reduce the manuverability of the machine greatly.
Just sayin'

Hi,
It has a kind of post-holocaust feeling to it.
I like its design and I guess that will go along well with the screenplay.
Kind regards,
José

You guys are missing the true point here:
There's actually a person in this movie with the name "Dick Dragon".
37. GHynson - November 19, 2008 1:25 PM
It still won't help you get a girlfriend.
38. Oscar Wilde - November 21, 2008 9:22 PM
Wouldn't Dick Dragon be a cool name?
39. Clubit.tv - December 28, 2008 5:08 AM
Looks amazing! Looks totally freeeakking aweeesome!
