Which leading terminator lady will come to Fortnite?

@Fatbunny911 was quick to point out that there have been three different female Terminators in movies and television. They are also known as Terminatrix and played by Summer Glau, Kristanna Loken, and Mackenzie Davis. It should be noted that Davis played an Augment and not strictly a Terminatrix.

These 3 female terminators cause Arnold owns the Terminator model and he's known to sue unless you pay up and 💯 to his liking. But more than likely it's the dark fate one and skeleton terminator pic.twitter.com/T7rZESVcGG

There are three known Terminatrix models in Terminator lore: the T-X, the T-1001, and the I-950 Infiltrator. Audiences have also seen a T-1001, also known as Catherine Weaver, on television's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Shirley Manson - front-woman of the punk band Garbage - plays Weaver's role in the movie, though the chances are slim that she will be presented as the skin.

@sniperrpost thinks that audiences might see Sarah Connor alongside the traditional T-800.

This inclusion would make sense considering Linda Hamilton has been such a large part of the Terminator series throughout its history. Her inclusion into Fortnite would undoubtedly be a massive win for Epic Games, who want to capture the attention of Terminator fans.

Twitter users like @brianrip are clamoring for Terminator 3's T-X.

T-X seems almost as unlikely as Summer Glau's Cameron Phillips. Terminator 3 is not a popular movie in the franchise, and the T-X is not as well known as Glau's character from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

If audiences are to get a female Terminator character in Fornite, it will most likely be the Augment, Grace, from Terminator: Dark Fate. Being the latest movie in the franchise, one with positive reviews, the licensing opportunity is probably the easiest.
