Usually deployed in a crouched, compact position, the T-1 will rise up, deploying its weapons, until it stands approximately eight feet tall - an imposing sight on the battlefield. In particular, the T-1's head and neck assembly is relatively weak and exposed, as are its extended arms and exposed wiring. However, all of its internal mechanics are not covered by this structure and are thus vulnerable to attack.
#Terminator salvation robot series
The Series 1 is constructed with a reinforced structure to provide great strength and durability even then, it can be penetrated by heavy artillery. If a human target keeps still and quiet, and masks their heat signature by positioning themselves in front of a hot object, such as a small fire, they will not be detected. This basic sensor package does however mean that the Series 1 has several weaknesses.
Using a primitive (by today's advanced standards) targeting system, the Series 1 is capable of identifying and eliminating multiple targets, using auditory, heat and motion sensors. Mounted on a platform capable of rotating 360 degrees, the Series 1 has a wide field of attack, with various optical sensors and a laser beam targeting system mounted inside a "head" unit. These units lacked the numbering systems on the torso as they are mass-produced.Īdditionally, the design concept of the HK-Tank is apparently an evolution of the T-1. The tank treads had been fitted with track guards to ward off enemy fire, however, the rear track for stability has no such coverings. T-1 seemed to be more heavily armored, showing less exposed wiring. The sensors themselves have all been combined into two "eyes" which were structured at the side of the "head" unit. Additionally, FK Tank Light and FK Hunter share similar design concept with T-1.Ĭompere to T-1 Prototype, T-1 Terminators in Salvation timeline included a more basic torso shape and the head unit has been lowered down, simplified and armored to dispel sensor weakness.
Rise of the Machines timeline ĭuring the Future War in Rise of the Machines timeline, there are known two variations: T-1-5 and T-1-7 Warrior Robots deployed by Skynet. Though it was the first Terminator class robot to be developed by CRS, the Series 1 underwent several prototype stages. Unfortunately for Cyber Research Systems, the exposed hydraulic systems and motors visible just above the tracked wheels made the T-1 Series vulnerable to precision attacks from the sides. As can be seen below, the track arrangement, which is similar in fashion to that of early 21st Century snowmobiles, makes for a very stable and secure base. This makes them very versatile, and excellent for deployment into nearly any form of environment.
The T-1 Proto Type unique tracked multiple wheels give the T-1 superior grip and maneuverability over loose rubble and uneven terrain combined with the speed that a wheeled vehicle brings. Cyber Research Systems created this first-generation fully autonomous ground offensive system in 2003.Ĭyber Research Systems could not perfect bipedal walking military robots and therefore the earlier Terminator series were fitted with tank-like treads. The T-1 Proto Type was originally built in limited numbers, each unit individually numbered and stored under individual anti-static dust coverings.
