Terminator Salvation (2009) T-600 practical (no CGI)

Great Terminator design, before more detail and new head appearance was added by use of CGI. This look was never meant to be final. But it's dark and menacing nonetheless, reminiscent of the bleak style of "Shock Waves" (1977) or "Outpost" (2008). Notice the sloppy neck-to-shoulders situation of the mask - intentional or not, it makes perfect sense for an early, rugged humanoid Terminator model. Also, the motion-capture dot-suit is visible underneath the costume. 

Nice shot from (semi-)behind the scenes of "Terminator Salvation", and it would actually be a very intriguing idea to explore a more decayed, "dead" Terminator design. Maybe something focused on the development of the T-600? Or a last-ditch war effort, where the earliest, cheapest models are sent into battle?
