SkyNet doesn't make the poll? What the hell!
SkyNet is my answer. SkyNet was an AI that knew how to get shit done.
I guess you never saw Salvation. That Skynet most definitely had no idea how to get shit done. It had Kyle Reese in custody! One bullet to the brainstem, and you just won! He's John Connor's dad!
For my money it's SHODAN, although I can understand why GlaDOS is winning. Back in my day, any insane AI worth its sodium declared itself a god!
Would have liked to see an option for Crow T Robot though.
It had no idea that Reese was Connors father, only that he was important to Connor.
And, honestly... Terminator got de-railed after T2.
Also, you have to take into account that there are, potentially, thousands of different SkyNets. We have no idea if SkyNet only tried to kill Connor 3 times, or if the Connor portrayed in the movies was only attacked 3 times. Skynet and Connor could have been going at this for combined centuries, and it might be possible that Connor was not the first, nor the last messiah. SkyNet has already proved that it is, in a manner of speaking, Destiny: it will happen, one way or another. Its possible that SkyNet has succeeded in the 'past' in killing messiahs, but each and every time a new one steps up, starting the time war again.
SkyNet '4' (T4) may have been pathetic (Which would explain how the US military survived so long, as it was previously told that it failed almost immediately), but SkyNet 1 and SkyNet 2 were most definably bad ass.
