Terminator Genisys: 10 Questions It Failed To Answer

10. Is Arnie Now A T-1000?

The whole movie is building to the showdown between Sarah, Kyle and the T-800 and Genisys/Skynet, as the former attempt to destroy the latter. During the fight, Arnie€™s Terminator melds with the liquid metal of a T-1000.

So, does this mean that his classic T-800 has received a total upgrade, and he's now a T-1000? Or is he still technically a T-800 with some 1000 abilities, or an entirely new hybrid of Terminator that we haven€™t come across before?

Given all of the stuff packed into the film and left unanswered, it may not be the biggest issue, but given Arnie as a T-800 is the foundation of the entire franchise it€™d be good to know exactly what he€™s supposed to be now.
