Summary
Terminatorsare some of the most formidable and deadly Sci - Fi villain in the history of the genre , but they did n’t reach their extremum until they merged with another scientific discipline fabrication monster , Alien ’s Xenomorph . The hybridization of the two creatures unlocked theTerminators ' ultimate weapon , one that it could never have wielded without Xenomorph DNA .
Despite the fact that these respective franchises in the beginning had nothing to do with each other upon their films ’ initial freeing , their crossover voter comic seriesAliens vs Predator vs The Terminatorasserts thatAlienandThe Terminatorhave been a part of the same continuity all along . seemingly , Alientakes place in the future after Skynet ’s flak on Planet Earth and the AI ’s subsequent frustration to the Human Resistance head by John Connor . It seems Skynet ’s sovereignty was pretty curtly - lived , though remnants of the malign contrived intelligence remained scattered across the galaxy . As humanity rebuilt from the ash of Skynet ’s assault on the planet and became the blank space - fare subspecies of human introduced in 1979’sAlien , a rascal squadron of surviving Terminators is plotting the return of Skynet . By the clock time of this crossover - which takes place afterAlien Resurrection- those rogue Terminators finally figured out how they were going to pull it off .
Terminators Fused With Xenomorphs To Bring Back Skynet, & Got Major Power-Ups
InAliens vs Predator vs The Terminatorby Mark Schultz and Mel Rubi , the remain Terminators are able to successfullycreate Terminator / Xenomorph hybrids . These beast have the biological weapons built-in in every Xenomorph , along with the fury and hive - mind - like coordination of the ‘ pure organism ’ , but that ’s not all . This hybridization also yield the terminator an entirely new power , one that is n’t derived from either the Xenomorph or the Terminators entirely , but is rather a singular consequence of their merging : the Absorption Matrix . This ability allow for the hybrids to literally absorb their forcible surround , which both makes themselves more durable in any give post with the add together benefit of utterly destroy their environs , which is an aspect to the power that can be weaponized in and of itself give the veracious circumstances ( like inside a starship or within a extremely explosive laboratory , for case ) .
This power manifested through the right-down malleability of Xenomorph DNA , and the Terminators ’ power to manipulate it to become their needs . It is well found inAliencanon that Xenomorphs conform gradually to their environment with each multiplication , as their hosts allow them to evolve through genetic embossment , which naturally makes them well suited for their environment . The Terminators know this , but since they ca n’t give piece of themselves with every new generation of Xenomorph in the more born agency ( if one consider Facehugger saturation ‘ natural ’ ) , they opted to speed up that process through experimentation .
These experiments conducted by the Terminators to create the best version of themselves for the revival of Skynet results in perhaps the most ferociousTerminatorin the history of the enfranchisement , one with an ultimate blast it could never have had without the DNA ofAlien ’s Xenomorph .
