Interesting, looks like the Stan Winston animatronic shots were open-matte, just like in the first Terminator.
To explain, I've seen 35mm frames/strips of T1 on eBay, including strips containing the cut from a regular live-action shot to an animatronic shot where it goes from hard-matted to open-matte (or where it goes from animatronic to a regular live shot, and it goes from open-matte to hard-matted).
