BtrflyV New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 11:08 pm Thank you for helping. I've tried looking at photos but can't seem to find any that look quite like numbers or letters. So I magnified by 30 to see if this helped any to rule that out or further support. Thank you so much. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12875 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 01:19 am That's kind of cool, really. Reminds me a little of the T1000 thrashing around in the molten steel in "T2". Report this Post to the Staff
