The T-600 in Terminator Salvation timeline

The Terminator T-600 "The Walker"[1] is a primitive, hulking Infiltrator in excess of 7'3"-tall[2] with rubber skin, which is designed by Skynet as its main foot soldier during the early years in the Future War. The T-600 Infiltrator is referred as "Skin Job" by the Resistance.[1] It is mass produced since 2016.[3]

Specifications[]

Combat[]

The T-600 has three modes of operation: direct, automatic and autonomous. The T-600 can be directed by Skynet defense computers like soldiers in a war game, it can react automatically to a wide variety of preprogrammed conditions, or the individual units can be relinquished to their own control and act independently for months on end, combing the ruins on extended search and destroy missions.

The T-600 is usually seen armed with a (presumably) Skynet-upgraded variant of the modern-day M134 minigun, which seems to be not hardwired and mounted onto the T-600's arm. Some of the T-600 Terminators, such as the Los Angeles T-600, have been equipped with a grenade launcher on their left arms.

On some occasions, the T-600 would carry other weapons, such as the F-2000 instead of a minigun. Though not accurate, the minigun delivers a lot of fire power, as seen when a T-600 is in pursuit of Marcus and Kyle. T-600s have been known to play dead to lure humans into a false sense of security and then attack.[4] It will also shoot off its own limbs if it becomes trapped.[5]

A T-600 features electromagnetic cores built into their joint to help reassemble themselves if arms or legs are blown off the main body.[6]

Weaknesses[]

John Connor notes that the T-600 Terminator is a primitive design. It's bulky and slow and the shoulder joints and the back are vulnerable to gun fire. Also, the motor functions are susceptible and can be momentarily impaired by a knife attack to the targeting system in the back of the neck. The T-600 is easily detectable due to its size and lack of covering over its mechanics.

As a result of these shortcomings, Skynet superseded the T-600 Terminator with the faster, and sleeker Terminator series known as the T-800, which featured living tissue over its metal endoskeleton and a hyperalloy combat chassis. However, the T-600 Terminator may still be encountered providing fire-support for the T-800 Terminators.

Additionally, the rubber skin on the T-600 is less durable to weathering, making it easily peeled off. Thus, the inner structure will be exposed, sometimes it even rusts.

Notes[]

  • Despite its oversized hulking appearance as an Infiltrator, a seven to eight feet tall Terminator mocked-up as a human would only need to disguise itself well enough to get within firing range of a human camp, as it is very difficult to judge size from a distance, as Marcus Wright mistook the Los Angeles T-600 as a human.

Behind the Scenes[]

Terminatorpanel1

The revised T-600 for Terminator Salvation unveiled on San Diego ComicCon 2008.

  • The T-600 from Terminator Salvation is designed by Stan Winston.
  • The T-600 from Terminator Salvation timeline is at least 8 ft tall and bigger, grimier and nastier than before.
    • This does not contradict the confirmed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles appearance of rubber-skinned Series 600 Terminators, since this can be a result of the change of the timeline.
    • As described for Terminator Salvation, this other "tank-ish" version has far more in common with the T-70 previously established.
