Weaver Confronts Terminator

T-1001 terminating a T-888 with overcurrent

Like with any ordinary electrical appliance, an overcurrent, or electrical overloading, could cause a Terminator to temporarily shut down, or even be destroyed.

Notable examples[]

Notes[]

  • A suitable amount of current could be used as a defibrillation for a Hybrid whose heart stops beating.[2]
  • Due to being entirely composed of mimetic polyalloy, the T-1000 Terminator is just like a huge mass of metal, thus making it electrically conductive, and, unlike endoskeleton-based Terminators, can withstand a high-voltage charge without being knocked offline.[3]
