This page is about Uncle Bob in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, for Uncle Bob from Terminator 2: Infinity, see Uncle Bob. For a list of other meanings, see T-800 (disambiguation).

Main

The Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 Version 2.4 Infiltration-Combat Unit was sent from the future to arrive in Acton, California on June 8, 1995. Its mission was to protect young John Connor, which it successfully completed. He is main protagonist of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (film)

Personality

This Terminator had all the strength and capacity of the first unit, but he was very logical, and at first seemed to have a limited capacity for human emotion and learning.

After his learning capabilities were activated, the Terminator began to exhibit other human traits such as humor such as quipping "I need a vacation" after defeating the T-1000, and perhaps even love, as he tenderly wipes John's tears away and hugs him like a father before allowing itself to be destroyed to save humanity.

Biography

To protect his younger self in the past, John Connor reprogrammed this Terminator and sent it back in time via the time displacement sphere. Upon arrival, it encountered a group of bikers, stealing one's clothing and the bar owner's sunglasses and shotgun.
