Ranking Every Terminator Model By Deadliest

10. T-600

When Kyle Reese first explained the Terminators, he said that the earlier models were easier to spot due to their synthetic latex skin. Resistance Soldiers often called these models "Rubbers" because of their covering. While they may not have been the most efficient infiltrators, they were nonetheless dangerous.

Prior to the development of the T-600, Skynet exclusively used non-humanoid hunter-killers, which were poor infiltrators. The T-600 introduced a shift in tactics, where infiltration of hunter-killers became more important than widespread destruction carried out by the various HK models. Strategic targeting and assassination became Skynet's primary means of dealing with the Resistance.

T-600s were mass-produced by Skynet, though they were based on the original designs of test models created by the Cyberdyne Systems Corporation. Each unit stood six-feet tall with a weight of 800 lbs. Its size and strength made it particularly deadly, as a T-600 could tear through walls and punch through concrete without damaging itself.

The T-600 was an efficient killer despite being a poor infiltrator. Many of the enhancements made for its design were carried over to subsequent models. The working jaw, humanoid endoskeleton, and skin concept were all reused in the T-800, though, with vast improvements overall.
