Personality
Although physically similar to the T-800, the T-850 has a number of noticeable differences. For one thing, it appears somewhat older than the T-800 and displays less of the sense of humor exhibited by its predecessor. He almost seems to stand up for himself when he replied that he is a"cybernetic organism," not a "Robot," as John said. It states that one of its basic subroutines deals with human psychology, and despite its lack of humor is still able to make an emotional connection with John when he fights the T-X's reprogramming of his systems and again later when he says goodbye to John.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
When it emerged from its time displacement sphere in Joshua Tree, California, it went to a club to acquire its clothing and then proceeded steal a truck and get sunglasses. It approached Conner in a veterinarian clinic where Brewster worked and took the two with him in the back of a van to escape the T-X sent to kill them. While driving, John asked him about its memories, assuming that this would have the same memories as "Uncle Bob." It stated that the Terminator sent from last time was a different unit and he was chosen by Skynet for infiltration due to John's emotional attachment.
At a graveyard, the three went to Sarah Connor's grave. The Terminator dropped her coffin to find weapons inside. When the police arrived, they got out and confronted the T-X. Later, at a campsite, the Terminator revealed that if the T-X failed to kill John and Kate, it would kill John's future officers as secondary targets, including Kate's father, Robert Brewster. While driving, the Terminator revealed that it was Katherine who sent the machine from the future, not John, because the Terminator killed John and was captured and reprogrammed by Kate.
In the Cyber Research Systems facility, the Terminator battled with T-1s. It also fought the T-X, but lost. Controlled by the T-X, the T-850 began to attack John and Kate, but shut itself down to prevent itself from killing John. Later it rebooted, regained control of itself, and again battled the T-X at Crystal Peak. It managed to detonate its last hydrogen fuel cell to destroy itself and the T-X.
It is seen during John's narrative at the end, with only its head still intact and online. As the viewer watches, its eyes fade and it 'dies'.
Terminator: Salvation
It is implied that the endoskeleton of this T-850 was salvaged by Skynet and used in the creation of the T-RIP. [citation needed]
