James Cameron’sTerminatorfranchise has preface various cyborg exemplar with different names , but the model numbers of Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s character have make some confusion for years , as it ’s refer to as both 101 and T-800 . The franchise begin in 1984 with the film simply titledThe Terminator , which introduced two of the main characters of the saga ( Sarah Connor and the T-800 cyborg ) , as well as the canonic premise : Skynet , an stilted intelligence service system from the future , broadcast a terminator back in time to avoidJohn Connor’sexistence so he could never become the leader of the human resistance .
Skynet ’s mark has changed throughout the saga , and inTerminator 2 : Judgement Day , the target was John Connor himself , and the terminator theoretical account that was send to kill his female parent years back was reprogrammed and send back to protect him , and end up becoming a friend and the father form John never had . Both exterminator social unit were played by Arnold Schwarzenegger , and while they are essentially the same , there has been some confusion as he has been addressed by different model number in both picture show .
The Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 Terminator ( tenacious name ever , but that ’s the time to come ) was created by Skynet and was part of a series of machines made with the purpose of infiltration - base assassination missions . These cybernetic organisms lie in of living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton , thus giving the appearance of being a even human being – until they show their murderous skills .
In thefirstTerminatorfilm , he was mostly call in 101 , and the example number T-800 was introduced inTerminator 2 , but they are in reality the same , and without one the other would n’t be potential : T-800 is the endoskeleton and 101 is the skin and therefore the physical visual aspect of the manikin . In the commentary ofTerminator 2 , Cameron explained that all model 101 building block seem like Schwarzenegger , while the 102 is another skin . In fact , the succeeding view show a Terminator infiltrate a immunity sand trap depicts a 102 fashion model , which is in the similitude of Italian musclebuilder Franco Columbu .
Because this model is the only one with Schwarzenegger ’s features , the terminator inTerminator : Dark Fateis a T-800 101 example – how and why it ’s still around is yet to be figure . eradicator : Dark Fateis a lineal sequel toTerminator 2 , fundamentally rebooting the franchise and treating the other continuation as effect that pass off in alternative timeline , so this T-800 model will have a story of its own .
