Schwarzenegger’s T2 Robots Up for Auction

Would you spend $100,000 to buy the life-size Terminator exo-skeleton that was seen in the opening scene of James Cameron’s T2: Judgment Day? Well someone will get the chance when it goes up for auction along with a second piece, a fleshed-out model that was seen at the end of T3: Rise of the Machines. All the money raised will be going to charity. Head on below for more information on the auction.

From Bloomberg:

A chrome-plated T-800 “endoskeleton” featured in the opening scene of “Terminator 2” set in the Los Angeles of 2029, is expected to fetch as much as $100,000. A fleshed-out model that appeared in the “Terminator 3” finale is estimated at $60,000 to $80,000. They’re typical of collectibles that attract baby boomers seeking to relive movie memories, Profiles in History President Joseph Maddalena said.

The endoskeleton, made of steel and chrome, has eyes that glow red when illuminated by battery power.

On the second figure, parts of the metal frame show through burned and torn flesh, the result of the T-800’s climactic battle with the more advanced T-1000 played by Robert Patrick. The robot was built to serve as a double for Schwarzenegger in some scenes to spare him a three-hour makeup session, the auction catalog said.

Got some pocket change?
