Nah, the arm used in the research was a leftover fragment from the _first_ Terminator, presumably blown off in the home-made dynamite explosion that killed Michael Biehn’s character. The Terminator crawls after Sarah Connor, lunging at her with its left arm, I think. The right arm was gone at this point (to be salvaged by Cyberdyne, presumably). What’s left of the Terminator eventually gets crushed in a steam press. I may be misremembering, though, and I don’t have a DVD handy to check. ---

IIRC the Terminator had both arms at the end of T1 when he was crawlin after LH. The arm that they had in T2 was the one that he stuck out to grab her as he was crushed. The lef tarm was crushed with the rest of the frame in the Terminator Crushing Machine. “Your Terminated Mutha \*@#!@#” ---

Yes, I agree that the arm they used was the one not crushed in the steam press. But that was the same arm that John threw in the Terminator hot-tub in T2. There isn’t another arm left over. (Not that that means they couldn’t still develop the technology, but they couldn’t use that arm to do it). ---

Well, I still like him as an action hero. Let’s face it, he’s aged a little better than Stallone, Segal, Van Damme, et al. He’s still bankable. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/t3-what-is-the-fucking-point/117805.md?page=1)
