In the absence of her co-star Schwarzenegger, Linda made do with a larger-than-life replica of the Rev-9, an advanced Terminator prototype played in the film by Gabriel Luna.
In the movie, which opens in theatres on November 1, Reyes plays Danielle Ramos, a young woman targeted for termination by the new advanced Terminator prototype Rev-9 - who Sarah Connor seeks to protect.
Mackenzie Davies, plays a cyborg from the future who also wants to protect Dani, and Diego Boneta, plays Dani's older brother Miguel.
Edward Furlong, who played John Connor in the 1991 film, is also slated to reprise his role.
Hamilton, who was previously married to Terminator creator James Cameron, left Los Angeles several years ago and acknowledges it took a while for her to decide to come out of acting retirement to reprise a character she last played 28 years ago.

'It wasn’t the script but just the thought of returning to this whole, big thing again after living such a quiet, normal life for so long,' she explained in an interview published in The Sunday Post.
'Then there is the thought of being compared to yourself as you were back then. That’s not easy for anyone but in the end I knew I had to do it.'
Getting back in shape so she convincingly looked like she could take on a Terminator and win was, naturally, a hard thing to do at 63.
'I did military training, stunt training, scuba lessons, Spanish lessons,' she said. 'It was extremely hard. At one point I was in the desert in Texas sobbing because it was so hard to be fluid with those weapons.'
Where is he: Terminator icon Arnold Schwarzenegger was not seen at the conference

'They loaded me up with 35lbs of weapons and I said, ‘Forget firing the weapons, I can’t even get out of the car!' she joked. 'There were days when I felt like it was almost physically impossible to keep going but we did it.'
As for the anticipation and excitement of seeing her and Schwarzenegger back together on the big screen, Hamilton gets it.
'I don’t want to let our fans down or the franchise down and I don’t want to let the character down,' she told The Sunday Post.
