The "Future Terminator" was an Infiltrator that assaulted a Resistance bunker where Kyle Reese was located.

History

After completing patrol on the surface, Reese and his unit take shelter in a bunker. They are checked at the door by stationed guards, who let them in. A German Shepard IDs Reese as human. Reese walks through the bunker, past starving and dying refugees, including children who hunt rats for food. Reese finds a quiet spot and relaxes while looking at the photo of Sarah Connor given to him by John Connor. Sudden barking by the Shepards at the door alerts Reese to danger. The future Terminator attempted to infiltrate the base, but was detected by the guard dogs of the entry security team. It quickly threw off its cloak and revealed a RBS-80 and began killing every human within its sight. Reese raced toward the infiltrator, firing off a few shots with his own rifle. The Terminator then killed the dogs and began to advance, killing everyone it could spot. One of the shots set off an explosion behind Reese, throwing the soldier forward onto the ground. Kyle looked up only to see the faint glow of the Terminator's infrared eyes as it continued to kill the inhabitants of the bunker. The Terminator

Notes

Mary Randall recollects patrolling the Future War with dogs and detecting an Infiltrator in a poncho.

• The Future Terminator's appearance is used for the images of the T-808 and the T-810 Infiltrators from The Terminator Collectible Card Game with its model number being referred to as CSM-102 and CSM-107 respectively.
• The Terminator RPG classifies the Future Terminator as a T-700, adding that the reason for its eyes behind visibly red at the end of the flashback sequence is a defect in said series.
• There are several Infiltrator whose design apparently based on the Future Terminator, such as an Infiltrator in Mary Randall's flashback in The Terminator: The Enemy Within issue 2, and T-800 Infiltrators in The Terminator: Dawn of Fate.
• The T-800 from Terminator: Resistance [Infiltrator Mode] bears resemblance to the Future Terminator.
• The Rogue's action in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode "Dungeons & Dragons" is similar to the Future Terminator. Also in the same episode, the apparent aftermath of the attack on the base from the Future Terminator is seen by Derek Reese and a few other soldiers when they return.
• A similar Terminator is seen in the video game The Terminator: Dawn of Fate. With this game being a prequel to The first movie it could possibly be that very same scene reenacted.

Behind the Scenes

• The Future Terminator was portrayed by Franco Columbu, who is actually a good friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a fellow bodybuilder.
• The Future Terminator was originally going to appear in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The scene is preserved in Randall Frakes' novelization of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
