In Skynet's World timeline, a T-800 was destroyed by a Centurion. Dark Futures

During a raid on Skynet's Denver base, John Connor found the factory of Centurions and piloted one of them to rescue Tara Holden and her unit. Terminator Infinity #05
Terminator: Resistance
A T-800 Infiltrator breached a Resistance bunker, where it found schematics of a Centurion drawn by members of the Resistance to analyze any weaknesses of the unit. Terminator: Resistance [Infiltrator Mode]
At a certain point, an Centurion was among a Skynet force that ambushed Jacob Rivers and Kyle Reese. Another Centurion was later encountered and fought when Jacob Rivers and Kyle Reese are searching for Jacob's father, who was imprisoned by Skynet. They neutralized it by shooting at its sensor nodes on its head.
It is equipped with dual plasma cannons, dual chain guns and missiles that leave burning pools of plasma when detonated.
Specification
The Centurion is nearly twenty meters tall and consists of an upper torso similar to that of the HK-Tank set on four pincer-toed legs. It's armed with independently tracking weapon arms, each equipped with a plasma cannon and a grenade launcher. Centurions are often supported by smaller versions of the same design.[1]
Mission Profile
The Centurion was designed to pursue humans into rugged territories that HK-Tanks couldn’t navigate.[1]
Notes
- The Centurion was featured in concept art for Terminator 2: Judgment Day and later in the story of comic Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Nuclear Twilight.

T-7T "Tetrapod"
The T-7T Tetrapod, also known as "Spider" by the Resistance, is a Skynet Terminator series and quadruped HKs used to defend key points of interest for Skynet. They resemble the HK-Centurion in some aspects, as the legs and general shape.
Specification
The Tetrapod has crab-like upper body, twin machine guns as its arms and four arthropod legs. It is often accompanied with a swarm of tiny hovering Aerostats.[1]
Though heavily armored, they are vulnerable from behind by targeting their battery packs, or from the front via their single red eye. However, shooting the red eye will only deactivate the unit for a short period of time.

The Terminator Series is a line of nearly identical Terminators mass-produced by Skynet. Units within a Series share common technological design, programming, material construction, and like chassis elements. Advances in Skynet's design theory that intended to improve infiltration success rates have also increased the available chassis sizing options within a Series, much in the way that like vehicles can be purchased with a wide variety of option packages. Additional features may be incorporated into subsequent production runs as situational demands merit. [1]

Other Series
Notes
- It is not clearly established if the word "Series" or the series number should come first, such as "Series 800" or "800 series".
- The word "Series" is used before the series number in The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
- In interviews, James Cameron consistently puts the word "Series" after the series number. For example, he used the phrases "800 series" and "1000 series" in an interview on the T2 DVD.
- Main article: Terminator
- The term "Series" has not been applied to certain one-off Terminators. For example, the T-1000 was reportedly a prototype and was not called a "Series 1000" in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, though James Cameron did call it a "1000 Series" in his DVD commentary. The T-1000000 was also a unique Terminator, and was not part of a series.
- The film/theme park ride T2 3-D: Battle Across Time does not use the word "Series" to refer to the T-70 line.
- The movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines doesn't use the word "Series" to refer to either the T1 or to the T-X. It does, however, use the phrase "Series 850" to refer to the T-850 in the DVD extra.
- The term "Model" is used instead of "Series" in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. [2]
- In Terminator Genisys, Model is also used to refer Series as seen in the Original T-800's HUD screen.

- ↑ Anti-tamper modifications were introduced to T-888 Terminator CPUs to counter Resistance reprogramming efforts.
- ↑ In the pilot of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John Connor asks Cameron, "What model are you? Are you new? You seem... different." He does not refer to her series, at that point or later. Series 888 Terminators on the show are often called "T-888", "Triple-Eights," or "T-Triple-Eights," but never "Series 888".
