Nanotechnological Transjector

A Nanotechnological Transjector^[1] is an advanced tool utilized by the T-X to manipulate independent machines.

Specification[]

By retracting the mimetic polyalloy skin from the index finger of the right hand, a 1.6 mm diameter titanium alloy drill bit and data transfer probe can emerge from the fingertip. This is then used to drill into the casing of any electronic system, and a narrow blue aura flows through the data transfer probe, transferring a stream of data into the system. In a matter of milliseconds, a T-X can connect with the electronic system and reprogram it, controlling it by direct link or ultra-high frequency contact via a downlink with military communications satellites under Skynet's control.^[1]

In this way, a T-X can take control of any machine (up to at least four at once, using its head-up display), including such things as electronic locks, automobiles, or even other battle units. If it chooses to take over another battle unit, such as a T-850, the T-X can corrupt the other Terminator's systems, leaving its CPU intact, but unable to control its other functions, such as mobility. However, the T-850 is shown to be able to crash its own systems and reset itself to regain full control of itself after rebooting.

History[]

The T-X sneakingly used its Nanotechnological Transjector to reprogram several cars, including police cruisers and an ambulance, to chase John Connor, who was driving a veterinarian van in which Kate Brewster was trapped.

Later, the T-X used the device to reprogram all the T-1 Battlefield Robots in the garage in the Cyber Research Systems facility at Edwards Air Force Base.

After the T-X incapacitated the T-850, the Terminatrix used Nanotechnological Transjector and reprogrammed to the Terminator to hunt Connor and Brewster. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Notes[]

The T-X is the first Terminator seen on screen that demonstrated this ability to control other machines.
It is unknown if the T-X could control battle units such as the T-1000 with Nanotechnological Transjectors.
The ability of the T-X to affect machines should not be confused with the T-XA's brainwashing ability, which were observed to have a similar effect only on humans.
