Pops fights the T-3000 inside the time bubble as Sarah and Kyle escape to the bunker. As the T-3000 is destroyed, Pops is thrown into a pool of polyalloy. The explosives detonate, destroying the Cyberdyne building and the Genisys countdown stops. Pops rescues Sarah and Kyle with his new upgraded T-1000 abilities, and they head to Kyle's childhood home to tell him that Genisys is Skynet. In a post-credits scene, Genisys is shown to have survived the explosion in an underground bunker.
Continuity mistake: When the T-1000 walks past the deactivated T-800 just after being shot at by Kyle Reese, you can see that the T-800 has taken a lot of damage to the face and the nose is missing. Once the T-800 gets up after being reactivated you can see that the nose is back with a lot less damage to the face with a close up shot.
Question: Why did the old T-800 prevent his younger self from killing three punks and stealing their clothes? I mean, these punks were meaningless to it, so why did it save them?

Answer: The T-800 "Pops" was working with Sarah Connor, and they were trying to eliminate any Terminator sent back in time. The punks were incidental and the aim was not necessarily to save them, but Sarah probably also wanted to minimise the collateral deaths as much as possible by destroying the machines as soon as they emerged.
