T-70

The Cyberdyne Series 70 Automated Fighting Infantry Unit "The Terminator"^[1] (also known as Cyberdyne Series 70 Autonomous Infantry Unit),^[2] or simply T-70,^[1] was the first Terminator with a humanoid form. It is a primitive Terminator model designed as a basic foot soldier that stands 8 feet (2.4 m) tall.^[3]The T-70 is equipped with a Gatling gun with Motion-Tracking Laser Designator, rattling off six hundred rounds a minute.^[1] It can travel up to 20 km between recharges. Additionally, there were two colors available: Battleship Gray and Apache Green.^[4]

History[]

During the late 1990s, the new Cyberdyne Systems had developed and created the T-70^[2] along with the T1 and used them to impress investors and people with military interests to finance them to improve robot technology.^[5]

In the Salvation timeline, by the year 2015, Skynet had mass-produced and deployed T-70 Terminators. Molly Kookesh met Geir Svensen when her Resistance group freed a number of prisoners from a Skynet interrogation facility in 2015. They fought a number of T-70 Terminators side-by-side in order to escape.^[6]

In the The Terminator RPG timeline, Skynet 2.0 upgrades the T-70 by covering it with a layer of segmented hyperalloy battle plate body armor^[7] and updating its combat programming^[8], creating the T-000.^[7]

Notes[]

The T-70 unit shares several physical characteristics with the T-800 Terminator possibly because it may be reverse engineered from the wreckage of the first T-800.
