Ok but for real, I have some actual input. Mostly little stuff but still.
Why wizzies?
Why are the wizards so heavily involved with this whole thing? Why are they aware of events that have not happened yet? IIRC their lore doesn't include anything relating to time-travel.
Teleporting onboard.
Look I get that the terminator needs to get on the station somehow, but I'm not sure spawning as a consistent human or without a disguise is a good way to do it. Very quickly, the crew will mob it. Even if it nabs a costume before they can do anything, the crew will know to mob the person it killed from that point on and anytime it kills anybody after that. The only exception being maybe if it leaves the person it copies alive. Maybe instead it could be able to use a randomized one or start with one "free" disguise it doesn't need to photo.
Auto-shuttle call.
30 minutes seems kinda early. Maybe it could be after 50 or something? Alternativly it could just allow a shuttle call instead of forcing one, so the round doesn't need to end at pre-determined time, and the crew can take their time defending the chosen ones or killing the terminator. It could also be like old blob where the shuttle can be called as soon as the terminator as dead, since the chosen one prevents the hyperspace jammer and shit from even existing.
The tyrant himself.
I'm very interested in this little part. Why is he sending robots? Is he an AI like the inspiration? Could the fact that this is from the future have a bizzare impact on the round? IE if a chosen one dies, the tyrant sends more bad shit to the past.
Chemical immunity.
I love this part, an antag that can't be instamemed by chemicals as much would be nice.The fact that it doesn't react to chemical burns is also interesting. However, the immunity to styptic powder might make it insanely easy to expose.
Flashes.
Why do they work? I'm not sure they should lore-wise. Also, an easy ability to be stunned might take away from the crew mob thing since if you stun enough one guy can just beat it to death.
Hacking borgs.
This ability seems kinda...pointless. Lore-wise it's weird. Can the terminator just take over robots due to being another robot? And this antag is going for the "whole crew vs X" thing, which should probably include the synthetic crew. It also doesn't really make sense that it can also hack smaller robots for...some reason. Maybe it could just spawn a couple hostile critters instead? The EMP thing that screws up electronics is kinda cool, though.
Chosen one powers.
Like somebody else mentioned, these seem kinda pointless. It would also probably be more interesting for the crew to defend a guy themselves without anything "special".
