History
The T-600 were a series of Terminators that were designed by Skynet after it took over the world following Judgement Day. They were tasked with the elimination of human beings and had rubber skin in an effort to ambush their quarry. In time, the Resistance and other human survivors began to develop tactics in responding against these Terminator units.
By 2018, Skynet had developed a more advanced series of Terminator to replace this model with this being the T-800.
Overview
In appearance, the T-600 were humanoid skeletal machines that towered over humans with their role being as soldier on the battlefield or as infiltrators for assassination missions. Typically, they were adorned with clothing and had sheets of rubber skin to make them pass off as humans from a distance. This was designed to trick human survivors so that the Terminator can easily ambush and eliminate them. They were noted for being a slow moving design with primitive characteristics. One feature was a motor cortex that was partially exposed at the back of heir neck with a well placed hit from a knife able to disorientate their tracking systems for a short period of time. This can lead to behavioral glitches including disorientation, failure to correctly recognize humans as a threat, and random discharges of on-board weaponry. The machine recovered from the damage after a while allowing it to resume its operations even when temporarily downed. Typically, they had heavy firepower in the form of a chaingun that they carried with them along with a grenade launcher by the other arm. A T-600 was single-minded in the pursuit of its quarry and were known to destroy their own limbs if they prevented them from reaching their target.
Notes
- The T-600 was created by Stan Winston where it was portrayed by actor Brian Steele and Chris Gann in the setting of Terminator: Salvation.
- In Terminator: Salvation, the T-600s shown in the live-action film were designed by Stan Winston, Martin Laing, and ILM. McG has stated that, "[we] wanted to achieve that bummer, rubbery skin, prosthetic look that cloaks an unrelenting machine with a singular focus of killing." They have been described as "the bigger, grimier, nastier version that preceded the T-800."
