T-800
Model 101
The Cyberdeyne systems T-800 Model 101 is a cyborg android, programmed to kill, in the Terminator movies.
The Terminator was to be the ultimate weapon devised by the military supercomputer Skynet to be used against the remaining human resistance movement. It was thought that a machine designed to the specifications of the human skeleton, and subsequently encased in specially-grown flesh and tissue, would be able to infiltrate military structures disguised as a human and, subsequently, terminate human life from within the outpost. Every aspect of this organsim is geared toward infiltration without detection. Not only does it look human, but it sweats, smells, bleeds and can even mimic human voices. However, animals can sense the presence of mechanical moving parts, and dogs were often used at guarded checkpoints to detect any entering the area.
To aid in its role as a killer, its endoskeleton is constructed from a hyperalloy to form a hardened combat-chassis, and thus is rendered all but immune to 20th C small arms fire. They can operate for up to 120 years without needing new power cells. If the power cells are depleted or damaged, the unit can access an alternate source of power that allows it to continue functioning for some time.
The Terminator CPU is an artificial neural unit made from advanced materials, and has the ability to learn, though this function is turned off by default to prevent them from becoming too human, and thus limiting efficiency.
A T-800 series, model 101 Terminator, played by Arnie, is the main antagonist in the first Terminator film. Another Model 101, having been reprogrammed by the resistance in the future, is one of the protagonists in T2, while yet another is featured in T3 as one of the main protagonists, also reprogrammed by the human resistance as he returned to save both Kate and John.
