Dominion:  Tank Police:  This'd be fun!  Having the police run around in
tanks would make for a bad day for T-101s.  T-1000?  Again, the higher
general tech level would make handling them easier.  Bonaparte would have
fun skeet shooting T-101s.  T-1000's are slowed by shotgun slugs, how'd they
handle tank rounds?  Each shot would cost them some mass.  Add in the
bacterial cloud.

Up close and personal, the tanks would be in some deep trouble considering
that, with the exception of Bonaparte, they are all made of... plastic,
wasn't it?

The other question to ponder here is:  With their track record, how much
damage would they do to everything else before someone finally hits the
T-1000 that is standing still?

Armitage:  Are you serious? T-101's would get slaughtered.  T-1000 would be
more difficult, but still...

Especially if you are referring to that really nifty weapons system that
Armitage was using at/near the end of the series.

PatLabor:  The terminators would have some difficulty here.  The general
availability of large robots make's the terminators good points (tough, no
morals) less of a factor.  After all, a labor bullet would take out a T-101,
and make the 1000 go splat.  For a little while, at least.  I see them
getting hot napalm rounds.  Or maybe freezing.  Sure, the terminator could
drive a patlabor, but what's the use?  They're only on equal terms then.
Just pity the poor cops sent to get the terminator out of the wrecked
labor...

As you say further down, the T-1000 is more assasin than war machine.  As
such it probably would not try to take on big mecha opponents unless it
doesn't have a choice.

Also, how would they know about the special ammunitions listed above?
History?  No one took Sarah Conner seriously.  Plus, there was no proof of
her story.

The other thing is, remember, the movie T-1000 was a prototype.  We don't
know if it has any special weaknesses to stuff that could be found/exploited
in a higher-tech society.  Like how would it react to an EMP gun?  What
happens if you microwave it?  Add in that it's probably very expensive to
make the material of a T-1000, and you won't have many of them.  It's an
assassin, not a pure war machine.

T-1000 versus the Founders (ST:DS9)?  Hmm...
