Terminator: Dark Fate - Every Easter Egg & Reference We Spotted

11. The T-800's Weight

The weight of the various Terminators featured throughout the series has been a constant point of nerdy nit-picking among fans, if only because in theory a flesh-covered robotic skeleton should be pretty damn heavy.

The first two Terminator movies make it pretty clear that the cyborgs are relatively light and close to the size of a regular human, but T3 complicated everything by having a fireman be unable to pick up the T-850 ("this guy weighs a ton"), and having the T-850 and T-X (Kristanna Loken) destroy a tiled bathroom with their brawling.

But Dark Fate seems to have a decisive compromise of an answer, as Sarah refers to the Terminators as weighing around 400 pounds.

While she could've just been guessing or exaggerating, it makes a good deal more sense than supposed infiltration machines that weigh a literal ton or more.

400 pounds is on the heavier side of being noticed, but it feels like a realistic medium between implausible and impractical. Plus, with T3 now ditched from the continuity, we can forget about all that ton business.
