Terminator Salvation Plot

As I've already posted a couple of Terminator Salvation stories I thought I would post this little snippet of the plot (I may have already posted it ages ago so apologies if this is old news).

In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

That's the plot. What are yout thoughts on what the terrible secret is? Probably that Skynet is taking humans and converting them into Terminator cyborgs. Basically hollowing them out and using them as shells for the endo-skeleton. That's what Marcus Wright will have been and for some reason they use his original memories as cover for the infiltration of human strongholds. Then it will turn out John Connor is one or something like that. That's my thought on it anyway. I always liked the Robocop v Terminator comic book where it turned out Murphy was the spark Skynet needed to gain self awareness.
