abstract	Powerhouse Productions was unofficially founded in 2004 and primarily released crude stick-figure short comics. Many comics were produced up until 2005, but members of the staff soon lost interest, and Powerhouse Productions's comics division was dissolved. Machinima first caught the interest of Powerhouse members in January 2006 when they were first introduced to Red vs. Blue. Seeing the web series's phenomenal success, crew members devised a way to create a machinima of their own. Getting influence from the 2006 Winter Olympiad in Torino, Italy, producers green-lit a "Halo Olympics" film which would feature a Warthog demolition derby, a synchronized banshee competition, and "convict battles" (a sort of deathmatch). Two other events were created (sniper-jousting, and wraith-rodeo) but were later cut. The movie featured a mock sports coverage with two announcers reporting on the action seen. While expectations were high for the film, it was panned by machinima-goers. Realizing that the Halo Olympics had eventually failed, Powerhouse producers regrouped. It was decided that an actual film (as opposed to mock sports cast) would be a better route to go for the next project, as the monotonous tone of the Halo Olympics was universally criticized. Because a crew member had become interested in The Terminator (1984), producers ran with the idea and a Terminator remake was green-lit. Very little is known about Powerhouse Productions's version of The Terminator, as it was never released to the public. Later, crew members would say that The Terminator was "certainly an improvement over the [Halo Olympics], but not quite up to the quality that we wanted."
