ALL Terminators & Hybrids Explained

May 11, 2020
Hello guys, Kroft is here, today I will explain to you all the terminator models that we have seen so far in the Terminator movies. I will also include

hybrids

and some of the lesser known models that appear in the Terminator comics and TV series, this way this video will have a complete list of all

terminators

. These

terminators

are scattered across different timelines, however, I'll explain them in order. Before Skynet created the shape-shifting T1000 model or the carbon particle-based T3000 terminator, it went through an evolution process updating previous terminators and optimizing them to be as lethal as possible.

T-1 was the first terminator created by Cyberdyne Systems to appear in Terminator Rise of the Machines. It is equipped with two machine guns but does not yet have a human appearance because it was built to be a battlefield robot. Shortly after creating T1, an advanced AI Skynet became self-aware and identified humans as a threat to itself. As he controlled all the military systems at that time he started a nuclear war to destroy humans. After the nuclear attack known as Judgment Day, Skynet needed to wipe out the rest of the population and, to do so, began developing new models of terminators optimized to kill human survivors called the Resistance.

The next three models were T-7T Tetrapod, T-20 and T-1000000, which were designed as service robots to protect different Skynet facilities and the Skynet core. Before creating the famous Terminator T-800, Skynet had some steps to follow that are worth mentioning. Skynet created the T-70, T-400, and T-500 terminators that appear in novels and video games. With these models, Skynet tried to imitate the shape and size of human anatomy, but they were easily recognizable by their resistance and looked like robots. For that reason, Skynet began developing infiltrator-type terminators that were specifically designed to be as human-like as possible, along with improved CPUs and other specifications.

The T-600 was the first infiltrator-type terminator with a human-like titanium endoskeleton and rubber skin. This model had some design and CPU improvements, making it stronger and lighter than previous models. It appears in the television series Sarah Conor and Terminator Salvation, but in the film the skin was completely torn off. The T-700 was a stepping stone to the T-800. It is only mentioned in the novel Terminator by Randal Frakes. The T-800's next advancement, Terminator, was the first cybernetic organism, with living tissue instead of rubber skin covered over a hyperalloy-reinforced endoskeleton. It had many improvements compared to previous models, including the Neural Net CPU processor, which gave this model the ability to learn, which is actually

in the Doomsday deleted scene, after which T -800 was able to learn some social skills.

Additionally, the T-800 was much more durable than the T-700 and had the ability to withstand many small and medium-sized firearms; however, it was vulnerable to plasma blasts, acid, and high electrical current. The reprogrammed T-800 appears in Terminator Judgment Day and Genesis. We also get to see one of the first T800 models produced in Terminator Salvation. There is also a theory that the Dutch model of the 1987 Predator was the T-800, and you can watch my video explaining this theory. There are some variants of the T-800 terminator that have some distinguishable improvements. The T-850 appeared in Terminator 3 and had increased armor and a tougher endoskeleton that made it resistant to plasma blasts and other major attacks.
It also had two hydrogen fuel cells as a power source instead of a single nuclear cell that the T-800 had. Another important improvement was the addition of psychological and social modules that allowed it to be more effective in communicating and dealing with humans. The next variant was the T-888 or T triple eight, which appeared mainly in the television series Sarah Conor Chronicles. Compared to its predecessors, the T-triple eight had an even harder endoskeleton and a new design of plates in the arms, legs and back. Despite the additional armor, it was much lighter than the T-850, giving this model incredible speed and agility.
There were 9 more variants of the T-800 appearing in video games and card games, but they were quite similar to the original model, so let's move on to the next terminator. The T-900 of the Sarah Conor Chronicles is an advanced infiltrator who is programmed to perceive himself as a human. This model has the same endoskeleton as the T 888 but is capable of displaying emotions and other human characteristics. The next model Skynet produced was the T-1000, made of a liquid metal called a mimetic polyalloy. This terminator could imitate any texture it touches, it can also change its shape, impersonate people, and generate all kinds of swords from its limbs.
The T-1000 has a molecular CPU that gives this model advanced reasoning and self-awareness capabilities. One of the main properties of the T-1000 is self-healing, which allowed it to withstand firearms and explosions and then return to its original state without suffering permanent damage. The liquid metal molecules are programmed to bind to the main mass of the body and can do so within a radius of about 15 km. However, T-1000 is vulnerable to attacks that affect it on a molecular level, such as extreme cold or heat, acid blasts, and plasma. After being frozen and shattered, T-1000 suffered some permanent damage that resulted in unintentional failure and random shape changes to objects and surfaces it came into contact with.
In Terminator Genysis, Sarah Conor melted T-1000 with hydrochloric acid and in the comics T-X destroyed T1000 with a plasma explosion. Before continuing, I wanted to briefly mention some of the garments I designed. I like the aesthetic look of late 80s and 90s sci-fi movies, so I created some t-shirts and hoodies in this retro or synthwave style. If you like this type of clothing, definitely check out the link in the description or just click on some of the t-shirts below the video. T-X was another terminator created by Skynet, it is a very advanced model that is sometimes called the Terminatrix.
Skynet noted the success of the T 1000 model, so it decided to combine liquid metal technology with a hyperalloy endoskeleton resulting in an extremely durable and deadly terminator. Liquid metal allows this model to change its appearance and imitate humans. T-X has ceramic armor with carbon and titanium nanofibers, allowing it to resist all types of attacks with less effect. This model also has incredible joint flexibility and range of motion that allows it to move its limbs in all kinds of different ways that would be unnatural for a human body. T-X has a variety of weapons integrated into its endoskeleton that distinguishes it from previous models.
The main weapon is the Palsma Canon, which is capable of destroying many previous terminator models with a single explosion. T-X has about 20 more weapons she can form and in Terminator Rise of the Machines, we saw her testing which weapons still work after the chase scene. This model is also used to transfer nano robots to any electronic system to reprogram and control it in Terminator Genysis. Skynet realized that the best way to create an infiltrator that was indistinguishable from humans is to transform a human into a terminator while preserving the host's memories and human characteristics. That's why Skynet created the T-3000, a highly advanced terminator that is made by exposing a human being to infectious particles called machine phase matter.
These nanoparticles rewrite the host's generic code and transform biocells into nanomachines, permanently reconstructing a human being into a terminator. All of the test subjects died while Skynet was developing this technology, making John Conor the only successful model. The machine phase particles allow the T-3000 to regenerate, impersonate other people, and develop stabbing weapons similar to the T-1000. Overcurrent and high magnetic fields are the main weakness of the T 3000; however, they can only temporarily disable it, but not destroy it. Only a high magnitude explosion from the Time Displacement Team was able to completely destroy the T3000 at a molecular level beyond reconstruction.
T-5000 In the Terminator Genisys timeline, before the final battle, Skynet created the T-5000 terminator and transferred its consciousness into that model after the resistance was able to shut down the network's core. So in a way, T-5000 was Skynet and has the ability to infect humans with machine phase particles, which is how John Conner transformed into T 3000. Because T-5000 appears only in Terminator Genisys, we have very limited on him. REV 9 This is the last terminator to appear in Dark Fate, which is a direct sequel to Judgment Day. Rev 9 combines some features from previous terminators. Like the T-X, this model has a solid endoskeleton covered by a mimetic polyalloy, however the outer metal is capable of completely separating from the skeleton, so in a way this terminator can be separated in two.
Like the T-1000 Rev-9, it is capable of generating bladed weapons and is extremely human-like in terms of behavior. In addition to the models I just

explained

, there are some interesting human

hybrids

and other terminators worth mentioning. Grace Grace is a modified human with cybernetic enhancements including a layer of armor under her skin, increased strength, and a smart interface built into her eyes. Marcus Wright was a convicted criminal who donated his body for genetic research and later became a hybrid human. After the execution, his body belonged to the Cyberdyne systems and Skynet replaced everything other than his brain and heart with endoskeleton parts.
Marcus has superhuman strength and was able to dismantle the T-800 in hand-to-hand combat. In the end, Genisys T-800 was upgraded and was able to transport liquid metal in his endoskeleton. However, we don't know much about this model other than the fact that it can spawn edged weapons like the T-1000. An interesting terminator from the comics is T - Infinity, who has time displacement equipment built into his endoskeleton. Skynet made this model to ensure that time travel paradoxes do not occur when creating multiple timelines. Another terminator that not many people are familiar with is the Moto Terminator that appears in Terminator Salvation.
This terminator has incredible speed and agility with a top speed of 200 miles per hour. Here you go guys, that was a complete list of all the terminators and hybrids we know so far. Dark Fate isn't out yet, so we'll probably get more information about Rev 9 and his origins. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know if you want to see a full detailed video on some of these Terminator models and comment on your thoughts on Terminator Dark Fate. You can also check out my other videos on the complete timeline of the alien and predator movies or the explanation of the origins of the Engineers in the draft of the Prometheus script.
If you like retro or synthwave clothing, you can check out the hoodies and t-shirts I designed below. I would really appreciate it.
