A Time Displacement Sphere
The Time Sphere, Time Displacement Sphere, or "Time Bubble"[1][2] is a distortion in the space-time continuum which allows an Infiltrator or human being to arrive to their predetermined time.
When chrono displacement occurs the atmosphere warps and condenses into the shape of a black hole that expands into a semi-transparent or translucent sphere, accompanied by a small electrical storm. Then the sphere will burn and/or melt anything around it. The reason for the Time Sphere taking this specific shape is due to the time machine employing a spinning crescent mechanism that accelerates movement by creating a spherical pattern that echoes through time, taking the form of a large sphere of energy. When it fades its traveler(s) will appear naked, in a crouched position or lying down.
The Time Sphere has different designs in various timelines possibly due to utilization of different technologies to the Time Displacement Equipment from the original timeline. In Rise of the Machines timeline, the object sent through the Continuum Transporter will arrive in a Time Sphere that appears as a reflective bubble with a grid pattern. Upon arriving, its temperature is so high that soil can be vitrified. In the Dark Fate timeline the Time Sphere lowers the ambient temperature of it's surrounding environment, freezing anything around it.
Notes[]
- In The Terminator, the Time Sphere that carried the T-800 did not cause much damage to the ground. However, in Terminator Genisys, the same Time Sphere created a "crater" or "pot hole"[3] when the T-800 arrived.
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day marks the first on-screen appearance of the Time Sphere.
- In T2 3-D: Battle Across Time, instead of a Time Sphere, a Time Portal showed up instead.
- Since the Time Sphere can burn or melt anything around it, it is shown to kill people or even make a human explode, or be ripped apart in various Terminator comics.
- The Time Sphere is used as one of the Dark Fate Terminator's Fatalities.
- The Time Sphere is Dark Fate Terminator's Support Kard that has 20-220% Bonus Recovery in Mortal Kombat Mobile.
