T-700

The T-700

The Series 700 Terminator is a Terminator series which served as the stepping stone between the Series 600 and Series 800 Terminator. The T-700 is the first generation of the Series 800 Terminator. Individual Terminators within the series are often referred to as the T-700s. The Series 700 was introduced in 2014 (Assuming the T-600 Models were introduced in 2009).^{[citation needed]}

The Series 700 Terminators are structurally identical to their Infiltrator cousins but are built solely for combat as they have a more durable endoskeleton and have a CPU less advanced than the Series 800. Units of the 700 Series are also entirely reliant on Skynet for command and control functions as they lack the ability for independent thought.

2018

In 2018, the Series 700 Terminator was mass-produced by Skynet at least in one factory, which is beneath the Skynet Central in San Francisco. Shortly following the Mission to Skynet Central, the Series 700 had become Skynet's primary battle unit having had replaced the Series 600 and were armed with G11 caseless-round submachine guns. Like the Series 600, the T-700 was capable of repairing itself and could function with severe damage to its structure in order to complete its objectives. Also, like the T-600, the Series 700 could have its targeting systems disabled by piercing the back of the neck.

Relationship to the Series 800

Early concept of the T-700

• The early concept image shows the T-700 as a much larger machine more reminiscent of the T-600 and bear many distinguishing differences between itself and the T-800.

• The final version of the T-700 resembles a T-800 with a darker tone and few slight structural differences, for example: the T-700's teeth are metallic in appearance, whereas the T-800's resembles that of a biological human; the lower jaw of the T-700 is slightly more angular than the T-800's; and the T-700's eye colour is not pure red, instead containing the same orange tint found in T-600s.

• The color difference between T-700 and T-800 mentioned above is presented in the Playmates Terminator Salvation toyline. T-700 and T-800's (as T-RIP) toys share similar molds with different painting application. The molds differ in height by about a third of an inch and feature slight differences, such as the 5 splines protruding from a T-700's lower back instead of the 4 splines of a T-800.

• In Terminator Salvation film, John Connor refers to the T-700s in the factory as T-800s. This is probably because the T-700 and T-800 were structurally similar to each other. Also, Barnes described the T-800 as the refitted T-700 endoskeleton with synthetic skin in the novel Terminator Salvation: Trial by Fire.

Notes

• Terminator Salvation marks the first appearance of the Series 700 Terminator.

• In the early concept art, the T-700 is depicted as a 6'9"-tall Terminator.

• In Terminator Salvation video game, the T-700's character model is the one from the concept art instead of the one seen in the film

• In Terminator Salvation, the Series 700 Terminators in the factory are not protected from the grime of production, resulting in their chassis being covered in oil and other matter that renders their endoskeleton a dark hue.

• The packaging of Playmates action figure for Marcus Wright identifies him as a Series 700 Terminator, though this is likely an error on their part as the official novel does not confirm him as one and stresses his unique design.

• The website for Playmates toys shows the T-700 as the Terminator first encountered in the film Terminator: Salvation. However, this is proven to be incorrect as the first on-screen Terminator is clearly a T-600.

• It should be noted that due to the lack of information surrounding T-700, it is completely possible that the endoskeleton itself may not have changed much due to being relatively sound in design. However, it is possible the T-700 is designed for rubber skin only and does not have the onboard equipment necessary to equip it with living tissue and allow it to sustain it in the field, such as the micro pumps in T-800 allowing it to "bleed" and making longer periods of living without rotting.

A T-800 Infiltrator

The Infiltrator is a type of Terminator that features a human appearance, created by Skynet to mimic humans and infiltrate the Resistance.

Specification

See also: Living tissue

An Infiltrator is usually a Humanoid Terminator with an outer sheath of human appearance, in order for a machine to infiltrate human groups.

If the CPU is set to read-write, an Infiltrator can become more human-like and even blend in human society.

Some Terminator Series can consume sustenance. Cameron, a T-900 from The Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline, is capable of eating a corn chip and later a piece of a pancake. The T-1001 is also shown to have this capability.^{[Episode needed]} The T-888 presumably consumes food, given Vick Chamberlain's ability to maintain a human cover for years while married to a human woman.

The T-600 Terminator was the first Infiltrator developed by Skynet as an attempt to infiltrate the Resistance. However, Skynet used the rubber skin as the covering sheath for the T-600 Terminator, which made it easy to be spotted by the Resistance.

The T-800 Infiltrator was the first truly successful Infiltrator unit, consisting of living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Such Infiltrator features every human feature, including hair, blood, tear, sweat and bad breath. Some of the units can even highly mimic human emotion and behaviors, such as Carl.

Later, Skynet developed new series of the Infiltrator based on mimetic polyalloy, allowing the units to impersonate any person molecularly sampled by physical contact. The first Infiltrator series with mimetic polyalloy is the T-1000 Terminator and its variants, such as T-1001 and T-XA. Those series are entirely composed of mimetic polyalloy, so they are capable of altering its form and appearance into any person or object of similar volume.

Infiltrator Series from various timelines

In the Rise of the Machines timeline, Skynet created the T-X Terminatrix, which used mimetic polyalloy as outer sheath over an advanced metal endoskeleton that featured various onboard weapons, such as plasma weaponry and flamethrower. In the Dark Fate timeline, Legion applied a similar design concept to develop Rev-9, an Infiltrator made of a carbon-based endoskeleton covered by mimetic polyalloy, able to separate into two units. Rev-9 featured a more convincing human behavior mimicry.

The T-799 "Eve" was the first Infiltrator prototype with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton in The New John Connor Chronicles timeline.

In the Salvation timeline, Skynet used the research from Cyberdyne Systems to create T-H Hybrid Human as the Infiltration Prototype before it could develop the Terminator Resistance Infiltrator Prototype (T-RIP). Near the end of Future War, Skynet developed New Terminator, which was able to mimic human emotion, and even thinking about the concept of aesthetics.

Specialized Infiltrator

Additional research was put forward into increasingly-organic Terminators able to more efficiently evade detection and infiltrate human organizations, such as the TS-300 Stealth Terminator created by MIR, the T-900, and the I-950 Infiltrator.

TS-300 Stealth Terminator

TS-300

Main article: TS-300

Additional to the ceramic endoskeleton mimicking human weight and structure for scans, the TS-300 Stealth Terminator uses personality transfer software called "Stealth Infiltrator Personality" to create undetectable one-off copies of real human beings. The TS-300 is equipped with the EM sensor masking/stealth unit which enables it to defeat other electronic detection systems as well.

T-900 Infiltrator

T-900 (The Sarah Connor Chronicles)

Main article: T-900

Despite being designed without the ceramic endoskeleton, the T-900 Infiltrator from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline is able to copy and possess the personality, along with the memory, from the target for replacement. In addition, it can highly mimic human behaviors and emotions.

I-950 Infiltrator

I-950

Main article: I-950

Unlike other Terminators, the I-950 Infiltrator from T2 Trilogy timeline was born rather than created with technological enhancements added over time; the I-950 starts out as a baby with a neural net processor attached to the brain, providing an uplink to Skynet. Because of I-950's almost purely-organic nature, it is harder to detect using metal detectors and is undetected by dogs.

T-H Hybrid Human

T-H

Main article: T-H

In Salvation timeline, Skynet developed T-H Hybrid Human by transferring the brain and organs from a human body to an endoskeleton from the R&D left by Cyberdyne Systems. Thus, a T-H possesses every aspect of a human and is utilized as an Infiltration Prototype.

New Terminator

New Terminators

Main article: New Terminator

In Salvation timeline, Skynet developed New Terminators from T-800. A New Terminator features more human emotion and behaviour mimicry than its predecessor, even capable of lying or discussing, debating with humans.

T-3000 Terminator

T-3000

Main article: T-3000

Near the end of the war, Skynet tried to create a new breed of Infiltrator, known as the T-3000, made of humans transformed through exposure to a type of machine phase matter. All of the converted humans went insane and died, however, but Skynet successfully converted John Connor into one T-3000. It had abilities similar to a T-1000 while still retaining his own memory, knowledge and personality, though loyal to Skynet, of his human self, making him able to perfectly blend in with humans. It proved to be nearly impossible to destroy as well.

Non-humanoid Infiltrators

• In The Terminator comics series published by NOW Comics, Skynet created Big Bad Wolf, an Infiltrator based on wolf.
• In the comic Terminator: Revolution, Skynet dispatched Dire Wolf, a powerful wolf-type Terminator, to destroy the T-Infinity.
• According to the comic The Terminator: The Dark Years, Skynet tried a new type of infiltration network using rat robots. John Connor discovered that Skynet was not only studying rats but all sorts of animals, even humans.
• In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode "Allison from Palmdale", a similar program may be in play with the reveal that Skynet has captives, small apes, bears, and tigers in an Infiltrator interrogation and production facility on an aircraft carrier.

Notes

• In at least one timeline, the T-799 is the first Terminator with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton instead of the T-800.
• In the unofficial film Terminator II, a "Replicant" is a cyborg with many similarities to Infiltrators from the mainstream Terminator series.

Quotes

Kyle Reese: The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him.
