The T-882 HCC-91 Tactical Command Unit,[1] formally Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 HCC-91 Advanced Tactical Command Unit, also known as T-882 Series 800 Advanced Tactical Command Unit or T-882 Terminator Tactician,[2] is a variant of the Series 800 Terminator developed by Skynet. The T-882 serves as a general for Skynet's forces, equipped with advanced capabilities for adaptability and strategic decision-making.[2] It is a superior and rarely seen model.[1]
History[]
Faced with the Resistance's signal jamming and gestalt mode disruption tactics, Skynet recognized the need for a more complex command unit capable of taking control of Terminator units in such situations. The T-882 emerged as its response: an advanced variant of the T-881 programmed with comprehensive knowledge of warfare and detailed psychological profiles.[2]
Specification[]
The T-882 incorporates key upgrades from both the T-850 and T-881 models, including a nuclear power cell, hyperrefractive UV coating, turbocharge mode, bioplast skin, protection against metal detectors, and a secondary T-500 CPU. Most importantly, the T-882 introduces an enhanced HUD and the groundbreaking Tri-Core CPU to the Series 800.[2]
The Tri-Core CPU consists of three serial CPU chips set within its endoskull. Linked together, the chips provide redundancy in case of catastrophic damage. This triad of CPUs operates synergistically, enabling the T-882 to dynamically adjust strategies based on real-time conditions. However, this capability is only accessible when the T-882 is in read/write mode. In Read-Only mode, the Tri-Core serves as little more than a strategic textbook.[2]
To ensure optimal operation, Skynet mandates redundant copies of master protocols for all T-882 units. This safety measure allows the resetting of compromised CPUs by the remaining functional units, maintaining the unit's integrity in the field.[2]
Notes[]
- The T-882 was created by The Terminator Collectible Card Game in 2000. The T2 RPG Sourcebook (2024) includes it among the new units and the book expands its specification, making it a predecessor to the T-888 from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
- The image used for the T-882 in The Terminator Collectible Card Game is the skinless T-800 after it rises up from the wreckage of the tanker from The Terminator.[1]
- In The Terminator Collectible Card Game, the T-882 unit is programmed with two skill upgrades: Marksman and Veteran.[1]
