In appearance, the T-600 was a cybernetic organism meant to look human in appearance, functioning primarily as either a soldier or an assassin in various situations. In addition, some T-600 units are covered in a sheet of rubber skin, meant to resemble that of a human. In the game Terminator Salvation these T-600s are referred to as "Skin Jobs", a term borrowed from the movie Blade Runner in which Replicants were also nicknamed 'skin jobs'. The game also uses the nickname 'The Walker' for T-600s generally. T-600s are typically used by Skynet for espionage and infiltration rather than direct combat. However, the T-600's importance in these roles may have diminished due to the development of more advanced terminator models such as the aforementioned T-800 and the T-1000. Additionally, the T-600 has an apparent design flaw, the cybernetic cortex being too exposed and subject to piercing damage that, should it occur, causes the cyborg to experience a number of behavioral glitches including disorientation, failure to correctly recognize humans as a threat, and random discharges of on-board weaponry. The machine recovers from the damage after a while allowing it to resume its operations even when temporarily downed.

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.
