The three-minute-plus video contains a number of spoilers from the upcoming McG-directed movie set before the events of the first three Terminator movies (sort of — I mean, if you ignore that whole "in the past" part of all three movies). Most exciting is the apparent inclusion of shots of motorcycle and four-wheeled human-killing bots. io9's full report after the jump.

"There are no fewer than 10 new Terminators in this film, and Laing and company have obviously thought really carefully about exactly where Skynet's minions would be in their evolution during this time period. There's no need for the Terminators to appear human, so they show up in various forms, including the giant Transformers-esque Harvester, the motorcycle Moto-Terminators, and the underwater versions, which you can see snapping at John Connor in a brief clip."

Yeah, sure, it ain't no Dodge Ram, but that's probably a good thing. [io9]

<![CDATA[1948 IH Truck Plus Suzuki Samurai Plus Lots Of Work Equals... Parade Car?]]> Here we have one of those projects that's just downright puzzling. Say you've got a 1948 International Harvester K-1 truck with a '48 Chrysler straight-eight flathead engine, you're packing serious metalworking skills, and you want to make something different. There's only one logical choice: you graft a Suzuki Samurai body onto it, add a long Zimmer-style hood, and you get a "parade car" for the ages. The Buy It Now is under seven grand, which is a steal given the level of craftsmanship. We're thinking race-car tow vehicle here. Thanks to UDMan for finding this one! [eBay Motors]
