It stands to reason that before the Schwarzenegger models, there were other, less-successful models of Terminators that were eventually replaced. Buddy Terminator is one of these. I’d use the tagline “your plastic pal that’s fun to be with” but would probably get in trouble with the company that builds Marvin the Paranoid Android (who may eventually grace these pages as a consultant sometime).
This is how Terminators get their clothes after transport. At least there is always a conveniently nearby victim in cool attire nearby. Imagine if a Terminator appeared, say, backstage at the Clown College.
It just wouldn’t have the same impact, you know?
There are only so many things you can say when a naked man appears out of nowhere, right? Did you notice the pixelation? Minifigs are not anatomically-correct, but this is after all a family-friendly comic. I originally wanted to have various things like trash cans, flowers, and a wandering monkey cleverly imposing themselves in front of the naked guy instead but in practice couldn’t make it look the way I wanted. Have you figured out who this guy is yet?
Hmmmm…strange glowing sphere of energy with arcing lightning…naked dude with sunglasses…what does it all MEAN?
