The Cyberdyne Systems Series 000 Sweeper Unit, or T-000, also known as "Triple Zero" and "Sweeper", is a humanoid Hunter-Killer deployed by Skynet 2.0 in the late stages of the war.
Specification[]
A throwback to a time before actual Terminators, the T-000 is a serious step down from its T-800 predecessor. Tech-Com considered the T-000 to be nothing but resource-efficient mass-produced cannon fodder deployed in significant numbers to protect Skynet's key facilities.[1] The T-000 had basic infantry programming[2] and a reputation for being stupid and clumsy.[2]
The T-000 is just an armored upgrade of the obsolete T-70, a carbon fiber chassis with a layer of segmented hyperalloy battle plate body armor. Despite this upgrade, the Resistance learned that there were gaps in the torso plating that could be used as a weak spot. Skynet 2.0 deploys these units for battlefield clean-up, finishing off wounded soldiers left behind and cataloging any prime targets who might have been killed in the battle.[1]
Quotes[]
John Connor: "Skynet would unleash its jackals now. Puppets of horror created in the machine's sick genius."[2]
John Connor: "Stupid robots were never built for climbing. They can only operate when both their feet are on solid ground. But still they keep coming like the idiot toy soldiers they are."[2]
Notes[]
- The T-000 were created by famed comic book artist Alex Ross for Terminator: The Burning Earth. All of their lore, including its name and the connection to the T-70 units from T2 3-D: Battle Across Time, are later establishment from The Terminator RPG.
