- The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human — sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him.
- —Kyle Reese to Sarah Connor (The Terminator)
The rubber skin, or synthetic latex[1], was among the first type of infiltration disguises used by Skynet on the Series 600 Terminators in order to pass off as a human being.[2] As the infiltration sheath was a prosthetic rubber, the Terminators were easily spotted by resistance members, thereby making the disguise and infiltration attempts worthless.[2] This has led to more advanced methods of infiltration, such as living tissue, which would be used on later Terminator series and types, such as the T-800 Terminator.[2]
Notes[]
- The image used for the rubber skin in The Terminator Collectible Card Game is actually the T-800 in the motel washroom when it was severing the damaged artificial human eye as seen in the film The Terminator. It is actually a dummy head used for special effects to replicate Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness.
- In the Resistance timeline, T-600s covered with rubber skin are designated T-650.
