The "Future Terminator" was an Infiltrator that assaulted a Resistance bunker where Kyle Reese was located.
History[]
While resting after a patrol, Kyle was looking at the photo of Sarah Connor given to him by John Connor, the Terminator attempted to infiltrate the base, but was detected by the guard dogs of the entry security team. Immediately upon detection, it threw off its cloak and revealed a RBS-80 and began killing every human within its range. Kyle himself fired his Plasma Pulse Rifle at the Terminator, but the machine was undaunted. The Terminator then killed the dogs that the bunker employed to spot Terminators. The Terminator shot behind Reese, causing an explosion, throwing the soldier forward as the Infiltrator endlessly fired at the soldiers. Kyle looked up only to see the faint glow of the Terminator's infrared eyes as it continued to kill the inhabitants of the bunker. The Terminator
Notes[]
- The Future Terminator's appearance is used for the images of the T-808 and the T-810 Infiltrators from The Terminator Collectible Card Game with its model number being referred to as CSM-102 and CSM-107 respectively.
- The Terminator RPG classifies the Future Terminator as a T-700, adding that the reason for its eyes behind visibly red at the end of the flashback sequence is a defect in said series.
- There are several Infiltrator whose design apparently based on the Future Terminator, such as an Infiltrator in Mary Randall's flashback in The Terminator: The Enemy Within issue 2, and T-800 Infiltrators in The Terminator: Dawn of Fate.
- The T-800 from Terminator: Resistance [Infiltrator Mode] bears resemblance to the Future Terminator.[1]
- The Rogue's action in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode "Dungeons & Dragons" is similar to the Future Terminator. Also in the same episode, the apparent aftermath of the attack on the base from the Future Terminator is seen by Derek Reese and a few other soldiers when they return.
Behind the Scenes[]
