Original timeline

The Cyberdyne Systems Series 700 Infiltration Unit,[1], also known as the 700 Series[2] or simply T-700, is a Terminator that served as an infantry unit along with the T-600 and T-800.[3] The T-700 is also one of the first true Infiltrators, serving as the stepping stone between the T-600 and T-800. The Resistance referred the T-700 as "Dog-Killer".[1]

Specification[]

The T-700 is the first Terminator type to be housed in living tissue.[1] Unlike the 600 Series, thermal scans cannot differentiate T-700 cyborgs from humans. Therefore, 700 Series Terminators are a huge step past previous infiltration units. Despite these advancements, T-700s are still not very adaptative or capable of true independent creativity. Their behavior is based on the observation of labor camp detainees and is too basic to pass for human, so the T-700 is usually used for short term infiltration missions. They will often pose as gruff war veterans, passing their stilted speech patterns and artificial mannerisms as mere reclusiveness, if not trauma. As dogs are usually the first to give them away, T-700s make them a priority for elimination. This has given them their "dog killer" nickname.[1]

The T-700's visual sensors are not as advanced as the T-800's. They do not receive a constant stream of HUD data. Instead, the 700s activates a scanning mode that will cause their eyes to gleam red. Undercover Series 700 units will often wear goggles or sunglasses to hide the glare from their IR mode from onlookers.[1]

A T-700 is possibly easier to be incapacitated by contemporary fire arms, as Kyle Reese expected the T-800 to be disabled for far longer like the 700 Series after blasting the Terminator through the window at Tech-Noir, but the speed at which the machine recovered alerted him that it was a more-advanced model.[2]

Necrotizing Tissue[]

The T-700 living tissue is not self-sustaining. Human captives are slaughtered in flesh farms to harvest the necessary blood required for epidermal generation. The flesh is then grown in vats and applied to the Terminator. It will begin to rot within ten days without immersion in a rejuvenating nutrient bath. In a month’s time, the flesh becomes fully rotten and the T-700 becomes easily detectable by both the stench and the number of scavenger animals in the area.[1]

Quotes[]

Reese was still spinning on the barstool, his coat snapping back, the Remington coming up into both hands, when Terminator drew the .45 automatic. He had moved fast. So very fast. Faster than Reese had expected. Is he a [seven hundred] or an [eight hundred]. Reese hoped he was a [seven].
(...)
He must have been a [seven hundred], Reese thought to himself. He stood there for a heartbeat, the adrenaline still pounding through him, making everything seem slower, feeling the rush, as if he were riding on top of the wave.
(...)
He pulled the dead girl off and took Sarah’s hand. She shrank away from him like a terrified animal. Then Reese glanced out the front window and realized things were worse than bad—it wasn’t a [seven hundred]. Quickly, he kneeled down beside Sarah and took hold of her arm. His voice was full of urgency. “Come with me if you want to live,” he said.
