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.
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 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.
In appearance, the T-600 were a humanoid machine that was coated in a rubber skin in an attempt to make them appear as human. This was designed for the purpose of ambushing human beings though in time they became easy to spot. Typically, they had heavy firepower in the form of a chaingun that they carried with them but they were slow and had a primitive design.
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."
