It was Judgement Day in London - when six TERMINATORS were spotted riding the Tube. The cyborgs went for a trip on the Central Line, red buses and later swapped Arnie’s iconic Harley for Boris Bikes. Special effects make-up artist Monika Swiatek pulled off the incredible transformation using prosthetics on six male models. The impostors, made up like the dreaded T101 from the Hollywood movie, also took in the sights as they took a stroll across London Bridge. The makeover was done to illustrate the findings of a survey by Rustlers into the robotic nature of the modern commute. The UK’s number one micro-snacking company conducted the survey in celebration of their Terminator Genisys on-pack promotion, which offers the chance to win a Terminator-themed home entertainment system. CONDITION OF USAGE: The following must be included in print and/or online: To enter the competition to win the ultimate home entertainment system, visit rustlersonline.co.uk or search #terminatethehunger on Twitter.
