The T-800 is a terminator model played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Robots in this series become the protagonists of the films Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator: Genesis. Also, the T-800 appear in the film "Terminator: May the Savior Come." This model of robots is considered the most successful, despite the constant emphasis on its "obsolescence". Compared with newer intelligent machines, the T-800 terminator , whose photo can be seen in the article, is much more durable and durable.
Model Specifications
- The terminator’s energy source is located in the chest — a small reactor with two fuel cells.
- The T-800 has very reliable armor, since it is based on a titanium alloy frame that repeats the outline of a human skeleton.
- In the skull of the terminator is a device that allows machines to detect each other and communicate. This processor can operate in two modes. Advanced is used by terminators when performing single tasks - it allows you to learn new things. The standard mode is set for most robots.
- Vision is provided by sensors that are hidden behind organic eyes. Robots have the ability to record thermal radiation, so it is easier for them to find people in the dark, and in ruins. The visual system is very strong, it continued to function even after such injuries as a fuel truck explosion and heavy fire to defeat.
- The organic coating of the terminator is capable of regeneration. It is possible to heal minor injuries, even to grow a skin coating on an entire limb. But the stronger the damage, the more time it will take to recover. At the same time, the robot does not feel pain from injuries, but simply feels damage, reading information about the damage.
Armor Reliability
T-800 armor was tested for strength in a variety of ways. So, in the first film, the terminator sustained a shot from a shotgun in the eye, an accident, a collision with a road train, an explosion of a fuel truck, numerous shots, burning in a fire. Even torn into two halves, the T-800 continued to try to complete the task.
In the second film, he withstood the fight with the more modern T-1000 terminator and police bombardment. He was also pierced through with a steel bar.
In the fourth film, the T-800 was shot three times from a grenade launcher and several dozens of times fell from a firearm. After that, several tons of molten metal fell on him, and he also fought with the cyborg of a completely new model.
In the fifth film, the terminator's hand fell under the flow of acid, but this only damaged the skin membrane, while the T-1000 model was completely dissolved.
Features of the T-800 model
- Terminators of this series can be both without skin, and with a shell that mimics human living tissue. Not disguised as humans, the T-800 was actively used to hunt for surviving people. And models with an organic shell were used in tasks when robots had to invade human groups.
- After analyzing the facial expression of a person, the robot can copy the movement of muscles. So the terminator (model T-800) learns to smile, although it turns out to be unnatural.
- The robot is able to imitate the voices of various people, capturing a very wide range (even female and children's voices). The T-800 records someone else’s speech and then uses it as a template. The terminator's own voice is very dry and mechanical, not expressing any emotions.
- Terminator T-800 can not be distinguished in the crowd, because both the look and feel of the robot is identical to humans. They even have their own smells, and organic camouflage creates the perfect camouflage. Only specially trained dogs could distinguish a terminator from a person.
- Analysis of weather conditions, calculating the distance between yourself and the object, reading the emotional state of a person, calculating weight - all this can be done by the T-800 terminator. Photos of objects are loaded right into his head, as well as various data obtained from information databases.
Interesting Facts
- The idea of creating terminators came to James Cameron after the installation of the film “Piranha 2”, when he slept with high temperature and had a dream about a cyborg killer with red eyes.
- When choosing clothes, the T-800 prefers a biker subculture, and it distinguishes motorcycles from transport. However, if necessary, the terminator selects a transport that is more suitable for a specific situation.
- Fans are happy to collect various paraphernalia based on movies. There is a robot skull on sale, toy weapons used by movie heroes, a T-800 terminator figure, as well as figurines of human characters.
Model T-850
The T-800 series has two enhancements. The first of these is the T-850, which becomes the main character in the movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
The T-850 is similar in appearance to the T-800. Technical characteristics differ: it has a more durable endoskeleton, it is easier to remove human flesh. The terminator’s head contains knowledge of various sciences, and the internal computer itself processes information faster than the old model.
T-888
This T-800 update only appeared in the series Terminator: The Battle for the Future.
T-888 has a frame made of refractory coltan. It is able to recover even with the complete separation of the head from the body. Unlike the T-800 model, whose goal was the elimination or protection of people, the T-888 can perform diverse tasks. So, he was looking for material from which in the future they will produce robots. The model has more developed abilities for implementation in human society, the terminator even has a sense of humor.
Arnold Schwarzenegger brilliantly played the role of a robot in several films of this series. Model T-800 gained great fame and popularity among fans of films about terminators.
