The term "T-XA" should not be confused with T-X.
The T-XA, standing for Terminator - eXperimental Autonomous, is a Terminator series produced by Skynet in the future.
The T-XA is a further refinement of the T-1000 Terminator concept. It is entirely composed of mimetic polyalloy just like the T-1000, though it boasted considerably enhanced capacities. In its default form, it is an eight foot tall, humanoid male, however, while infiltrating, it is able to split this mass into several units for the purposes of camouflage.
Abilities
The T-XA is able to split itself and, unlike its predecessor, function in many communicating parts. As such, it is able to impersonate groups of humans, such as families, and dogs (an effective camouflage). To search large areas in twentieth century urban environments, it is able to split itself into a large number of cats. The first T-XA brought a large plasma-gun into the past, concealed within its body.
Perhaps the most frightening ability of the T-XA is its ability to implant elements of itself within humans, performing alterations to the host's brain to ensure loyalty to its own goals.
Known units
Notes
- Despite the similarity of names, and some common elements, it should not be confused with the T-X, which possessed an endoskeleton.
- The T-1001 from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles possesses a similar ability to the T-XA by splitting her mass into at least one independent unit. It could lead one to speculate that T-1001 may be a "bridge" between the technology of T-1000 and T-XA.
- The ability of the T-XA to affect a human should not be confused with the nanotechnological transjectors used by the T-X, which were observed to have a similar effect on machines.
