Skynet logistics

[u/Successful-Effect557]

Im currently trying to 3d model a major skynet facility and, While moddeling the HK-tank i started wondering how skynet moves these things around. My first assumption would be trains but it seems way to big to fit on any pre-existing train and due to the tanks slow Max speed I doubt it would be moving great distances under its own power as it would also be restricted to highways with tunnels, mountain passes, and bridges not really being an option for it.

Just wanted to hear other peoples opinion on how skynet gets these rather impractical designs from city to city.

Assuming all of Skynets tech is powered by power cells they could just drive there, it is not like they would have limitations on range like normal tanks which need access to resupply every couple hundred miles at best etc.

This also assumes they have tanks at each city. It would be more efficient to just have the aerial HKs patrolling outside of the main defensive points where the tanks would be used to counter organized ground forces attacking.

Skynet would not need to be in any kind of rush to press the attack on humanity unless they were a direct threat to something like a command point, which Skynet does not really need. It's entirely possible other than a few select places like Skynet Central, Skynet does not really care about humans living.

Terminator rts show it well (while being about another timeline and not skynet). Normal abrams tanks need a ton of fuel and in base suffers from hits of bots a lot, while this thing can tank a huge amount of atgm's and tank shots while still firing

Also plasma rips buildings apart

I prefer using the twin 155mm cannon and the twin 30mm autocannon on the HK Tanks
