Well, if anything is proof that all Terminator media is canon, it's this. It references serveral different comic timelines as well as the films.

I based my theory on that.

This actually makes it seem like the NOW comics timeline could be part of the Original Timeline. I mean, the wiki says there's contradictions but I don't see how.

Like this, for instance.

The wiki is still probably right, but it's interesting.

I think that RPG does suggest The Terminator: Sector War and The Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy occur in the canonical history between The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day... maybe.


The first one is set in 1984 at the same time as The Terminator and The Terminator: One-Shot... so, that's fun. The second is 1985.

Interesting... in NOW comics, Judgment Day was in 2004. I mean, intelligence could have been wrong after that many years.

Cybernetic Dawn timeline

The Cybernetic Dawn timeline follows The Terminator 2: Judgment Day timeline and leads to the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Cybernetic Dawn and Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Nuclear Twilight. It should be noted that the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day occured in 1994 in this...

Terminator 2's ending is said to happen on June 9th, 1994, which matches perfectly with The Sarah Connor Chronicles (apart from the year), where it happens on June 9th, 1997.

I think that solidifies a June 7th-9th placement. Just place it in 1995 and say that characters and in-universe dates are stupid.
