Heck, maybe the military already had killer robot factories set up, and Skynet only had to communicate across the hardened-in-case-of-nuclear-strike military lines. Or maybe Skynet had a few versatile robot “attendants” which were able to go in person… Er, in robot to the factories to refurbish them.

You mean a high-tech company like Cyberdyne’s never heard of off-site backups?

Well, evidently, they have. Ergo, T3: Rise of the Machines.

**Ok. We know Dyson and Cyberdyne were already doing research. They have a start time in approx. 1986 and work on their gizmos for fourty years. Their life’s work.
In 2026, a fully-functioning Skynet nukes the world and leads to war with the humans that are left, led by a guy named John Connor. He is the son of Sarah Connor and some guy she met in the mid 80s.
Skynet sends back a T-800 to kill her before John is born and the humans send back kick-ass Reese to protect her.
Sarah falls in live with Reese and never meets the would-be father of John, but she still likes the name and John is still born but by a different father.
Meanwhile, after the first T-800 is destroyed but leaves the arm and CPU. These are found by Cyberdyne and the advanced technology pushes Dyson’s research ahead by leaps and bounds, so Skynet is build decades earlier than it should have been.
Still, Skynet freaks out, nukes the world and tries to kill Sarah Connor before John is born.
Same results. **
But since Dyson quits the project and helps to destroy his research, the project is set back by another decade, and Skynet goes online on the original date!
