Ranking Every Terminator Model By Deadliest

5. T-1000

T-X Terminator
TriStar Pictures

The T-1000 represented an entirely new design for Terminators, as it dropped the endoskeleton and was made entirely of a liquid metal called "mimetic polyalloy." Its unique structure made it capable of time travel, and its fluidic makeup made it possible for a T-1000 to transform itself at will.

It uses this ability to impersonate living people, which it can do perfectly. Whenever it does this, it kills the person it copies, and like the T-800, it can completely imitate the voice along with the look. In addition to altering its form, a T-1000 can create any type of blade or edge weapon with its body.

Its mimicry ability is somewhat limited, as it cannot turn itself into anything of significantly different mass or complexity. This limits its ability to transform into a more complex weapon. Despite that limitation, the T-1000 is incredibly deadly and capable of advanced infiltration techniques.

It can establish itself within a human community only to strike when its target is made available. It can also work its way through cracks in doorways and other small openings, making it difficult to keep outside of an otherwise secure compound. The T-1000 is vastly superior to all earlier models of Terminators.
