A Hydraulic Press is the piece of machinery in which Sarah Connor ultimately destroys the Terminator. As the crippled cyborg attempts to crawl through it after Sarah, she reaches the start button just in time, taunting the Terminator with the phrase; "You're terminated, fucker!" before starting the press and crushing the pursuing cyborg flat.
Trivia[]
- Even though the hydraulic press is strong enough to crush the endoskeleton of a T-800, it's shown in Terminator 2 that it's cpu is impossible to be crushed by the hydraulic press.
- Obviously T-1000 and T-3000 can't be destroyed by the hydraulic press as they have no endoskeletons.
- It's unknown whether Terminator models with more advanced endoskeletons such as the T-900 and T-X can be crushed by the hydraulic press.
