History
Overview
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.
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."
