Well it is that time again for another Tribute Thread. This time on one of my favorite Comics Series and Movies. The Terminator! Now I really do not believe I need to give the info on the franchise, if you do not know it, watch Terminator 1 and 2. Great movies and instant classics.
Terminator cannon may seem all over the place, and it kinda is, however both Dynamite and Dark Horse have made a pretty well balance reason as to how all this happens.
It all starts with the Time Machine. When you mess with time, things get screwed up. The whole plot of Terminator is "The future is not set, there is no fate but what we make."
This leads to the alternate futures and time lines.
Proof shows here when a T-800 disappears from the Time Line when it failed a mission. In the alternate Time line this Terminator was never created.
Dudley, a half human and half Terminator, CPU documents and deciphers the changes in the future with that of the establish past. Every battle across time affect the war in the future.
In the Dynamite Comics John destroys Skynet shortly after Terminator 3 Movie. He saves the future and lives in a rebuilt society. Yet he feels the alternate versions of him still waging the wars from various time lines.
Now that is out of the way. On to the Terminators themselves.
T-800 and T-850
The T800 is Sky Nets crowning achievement in Cyborg bada$$ness. The T-800 model proves time and again that even the more advance models of T-1000 and TX can still be brought low to the T-800. The only real noticeable difference of T-800 and T-850 is the Plasma resistance. T-850s were made in response to Plasma Weapons used by the resistance.
What is a T-800?
What he said.

T-800 Strength is over 3 tons for sure.

1) T-800 getting shot by Reese and point blank in the back
2) T-800 takes shots in the back by mini Hunters, and yes Terminator 3-D was cannon as James Cameron who written and directed meant it to be.

Speed
Many people believe Terminator is not fast. Untrue.

7) T-800 analyzes the situation, processes various outcomes, picks a response, and blasts the resistance guy in a "Blink of a Eye".

12-14) T-850 series uses the Close Combat to match a T-X in a brutal hand to hand exchange before being overpowered.
CPU
T-800 CPU is its pride and joy. It allows for micro second processing and suplies Terminator with all the combat knowledge it has.
As seen it is located in the skull and surrounded by shock resistant buffers.
It is also learning chip with tons of pre install knowledge and gathers more on its own.
1) Detail Files on the Human Body.
2) A Learning Chip as per the Cannon Theatrical Release. It is constantly learning to be a better machine in its mission.
3) Proves unable to be hacked by TX.
4) Commented by Dudley who is half Terminator that one can only Temporary reprogram a Terminator, not override it or hack it.
5) Scans and points out the most relevant addressees of a phone book.
6) Hacks and obtains information from a government computer shot to hell.
7) Scans and understands the targets weakness.
8) Scans and breaks down how to drive stick shift.

1) T-800 reroutes power source after major damage.
2) T-800 doing minor repairs.
3) T-800 does major repairs with scavenge parts from another T-800.

The T-800 models have very advance scanners. Including X-Ray, Infrared, Nightvision, and more.
1) Using Heat Signatures to find targets.
2) Scanners pick up resistance behind a car.
3) X-Rays through Marcus Cyborg body and at his heart, his weak spot.
4) Scans targets a mile away and deep in a mine shaft with X-Ray scanners.
5) Scans through the door to ambush resistance.
6) Scans target half a mile away in a group of people through a building.
7) Switches to X-Ray.
8) X-Rays through the earth at a grave.
The only hindrance to scanners seems to be vast distances, energy sources, and moving mechanical machinery.
Explains how the resistance can sneak around the battlefield.
Accuracy
T-800s have incredible accuracy as a machine should.
1-2) T-800 with orders of no deaths, fires on the cops with a wild minigun and grenade launcher. He successfully takes out the cop cars while forcing the cops back. All with no deaths, not even accidental ones.
3) T-850 fires off 700+ rounds as its scanners counted, and performs the same feat as the T-800 above.
4) T-800 on motorcycle and air born takes out squads of cops before landing.

Gear
Terminator Universe is filled with cool gear and powerful tech.
Plasma Weapons.

4-6) Laser Hand Cannon! This Plasma Laser Gun is handheld and does serious damage.
7) Plasma Rifles, your typical Plasma Rifle can pierce Tank armor with ease.
8) Plasma Mini Gun.
9) 40 Watt Plasma Rifle, the standard weapon for T-800s. Powerful enough to blow a solid concrete pillar to pieces.
T-800s also have access to flight packs.
Pretty useful for mobility issues.
There been time T-800s have shown to have built in and directed EMP.
Accurate EMP pulse that seems to rely on line sight.
Now onto the Battles!
Battles
For many battles you can watch the movies. For the Comics there are some good battles.
The T-800 called C890.L, the one in the car, along with another T-800 tries to catch Mary, Dudley, and a nobody scientist.
C890.L uses Stealth, speed, and tactics to kill a whole police precinct. He actually jumps over a ramming car and moved too fast for the cops to keep track of.
C890.L fights a Female T-800. He then repairs himself in a few short months.
C890.L vs Biker Gang after rebuilding itself into combat mode. Impressive showing of accuracy with Saw Blades!
C890.L disposes a Cycle Cop.
C890.L takes on the Cops to acquire Guns for its last mission.
C890.L fights Mary, Dudly, Sloan, and the Swat Teams of LA in one last hooray!
Later on history two T-800s and T-1000 was sent to kill Sarah and John after T-2 movie. Here Sarah and a few friends barely dispose of one T-800.
The Plasma Resistant T-850 of Terminator 3 movie battling the TX in a brutal hand to hand fight.
Two damage T-800s face a top secrete Navy Anti Tank Drone.
Uncle Bob vs a HK. Uncle Bob, a T-800 sent back to protect John Conner much in the same way in T2 movie.
Uncle Bob, battles the super powerful T-Infinity. Think of T-1000 with TX weapons and all around better! As seen is the skill and finesse of the T-800s programmed skill.
Uncle Bob fights T-Infinity again. We see the skill and durability of a T-800 model battling a foe superior in most ways.
