* DualWielding: Thanks to its strength, it can use an assault rifle and semi-automatic shotgun simultaneously when attacking the police station.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: Initially, it uses the smaller of its two firearms to try to kill Sarah, and is successful against the other two Sarah Connors, Sarah's roommate and her boyfriend with its pistol alone. After getting busted up and fixing itself up, it decides that fucking around is not an option and takes its larger two guns to take the fight at the police station. Further justified in that it no longer had the element of surprise on its target; unlike the other two women, Sarah ''knows'' he's coming and has a protector.

* CoolBike: The 1990 Harley Davidson Fat Boy model FLSTF it steals to a biker.

* ChildSoldiers: According to the novelization she's only 15
* EconomyCast: She's played by Linda Hamilton's stunt Double
* NoNameGiven: The only way you would know her name is from [[AllThereInTheManual the novelization]]
* RedShirts: She has basically no characterization and exists just to show [[MonsterMunch how terrifying the HK tank is]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Considering it killed ''billions'' of people, many of whom were undoubtedly kids, this is a given. For more a more direct example, it tries to kill young John Connor numerous times. Also, [[AllThereInTheManual according to the novelization for the first film]] the female soldier killed in Reese's flashback is [[ChildSoldiers only 15]].

* RedShirts: She has basically no characterization and exists just to show [[MonsterMulch how terrifying the HK tank is]]

* MissedHimByThatMuch: In the first movie he leaves the police station as the T-101 arrives, he happens to be looking at his pager right as the Terminator walks past him.

* VocalEvolution: Linda Hamilton gives her a more softer voice in the first movie. In the sequel, she gives her a more assertive and commanding voice to fit her ActionMom status.

* AFatherToHisMe: ''Possibly?'' In a flashback of the future he's shown sadly lowering his head when a soldier he's finding alongside dies. Although this may have just been because he liked her personally or something.

* CanonImmigrant: The fact that a Terminator's flesh cover ages like humans do was brought up in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' to make the casting of a nearing-70 Arnold Schwarzenegger believeable. The latter film has been rendered AlternateContinuity due to ''Dark Fate'' being an {{unreboot}, but this fact has been kept to allow the casting of Schwarzenegger in the role once again.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator, would never stop. It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice."'']]
