T1: additional pipes in some of the neck pistons.
T2: CPU port and overall design, probably about 70% is T2 endo
T3: The killer eyes looking up, grin and head tilt. The overall thick/buff look similar to a T-850.
T4: T-Rip has double wires into chest hydraulic, which is also present in the blitzway bust. Out of all the endos, T-Rip has the most detailed inner chest cavity. Although blitzway added additional pipes in all chest pistons, which is not accurate as no other movie endos have additional pipes in chest pistons, though conceptually it actually looks good and realistic from an engineering perspective.
T5: the symmetry of Genisys endo skull and the current clean metal finish look.
In a nutshell, it is 70%-80% T2 endo with the remaining 20-30% elements being from a mash of several T-800s.

Great stuff mate! Would be super interesting if Blitzway provided some insight into their design philosophy for this one. Did they intend to create something that combines what they perceive to be the "best" elements from across all endo designs, or did they just roll with what they thought looks cool.
Hopefully a more in-depth promo video, similar to what Prime 1 did with their recent Terminator products would be awesome to see
I've mentioned it ad nauseam by now, but I'm in love with this design. So pumped to own this!
