That is until out of the shadows of the future steps the TX, a Terminatrix Kistanna Loken, Skynets most sophisticated cyborg killing machine. With incredibly advanced powers and beauty to match, she is the ultimate threat to humanity. Now Connors only hope for survival is the Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger.
