Ranking Every Terminator Model By Deadliest

2. T-3000

T-X Terminator

A T-3000 is composed of machine-phase matter, making it significantly more advanced than the Terminators comprised of mimetic polyalloy. Unlike the other Terminator models (save for the T-H), a T-3000 was once a human being. Once infected/exposed to machine-phase matter, their genetic code is completely rewritten.

Their body is transformed at the cellular level into billions of nanomachines capable of operating together as a single unit held together by a strong magnetic force. Most humans exposed to machine phase-matter simply went insane. Still, one successful transition occurred when John Connor was successfully exposed, turning him into a deadly T-3000.

A T-3000 is far stronger and faster than a T-800, which it can easily pick up and throw long distances. It can phase through matter by altering its density via magnetic wave manipulation. This makes it possible for a T-3000 to let bullets and explosive concussive forces pass harmlessly through its body.

It can also create bladed weapons similar to the T-1000, but its real strength is the human mind it overtook. It can completely understand human emotions and respond accordingly, making it a vastly superior infiltrator. Its only real weakness is a susceptibility to strong magnetic forces, which can disrupt its nanites' magnetic bond.
