No. Only an object of equal size.

Was that before or after it killed the dog, because they establish that it has to make contact with someone in order to take their form.

spoiler ahh

How do you catch somebody when you're a wheel?

Why didn't he just time-travel into hospital bed during child birth. Vaporize both them easy peasy.

So a man sized wheel, or dog.

I reckon he should have pre-downloaded some useful forms. :P

My dude there's a title in the topic. So if you didn't watch you shouldn't be clicking.
I also didn't reveal who's the T-1000 :P

By doing what wheel does? So spinning... duh.
He also didn't eat, so the mitochondria could produce energy that could power his muscles, because he also didn't have any of those.

I don't think a wheel/doggi would have had the same cinematic impact as Robert Patrick running at you with his stone cold stare.

Sidenote: It was so freaking cool to show my son Terminator movies in order without spoiling that Arnie is the good guy in the sequel.

Because growing up thats the first ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing they did in the trailers leading up to the movie.

Because the plot told it, that it needed to be liquidated later on.

A wheel still needs some means of producing forward motion (and the T-1000 explicitly cannot create a complex machine like an engine). It would also be unable to cross common structures like stairs, and would take too much time to morph back and forth.

Ah the almighty plot armor, figures. :P

A self powered wheel, I guess even the T-1000 had limitations.

There's no difference between how his wheel form could move to how his human form moved.
He didn't have muscles that allow a human to move.
Think about it as more of a track (like on a tank) than a wheel.

Apparently the actor was actually running fast enough to catch him and was told to slow down.

It's human form was a preset where I'd imagine every molecule/nanobot "knew" where it had to be and how to get there. IfI remember it right, the T-1000's structure is called a "polymimetic alloy". An alloy is a mixture of more than one element, so I'd assume the T-1000 was capable of forming soft and hard polymers to fulfill the role of bone, muscle, skin, etc.

Yup. At the end of the directors cut the t1000 is visibly losing is ability to control the nanites as it starts to involuntarily take on the appearance of surrounding objects it touches.

So when the damage is extensive enough to enough of its individual molecules it loses functionality. My guess is each nanite was autonomous to some extent.
