History Characters / TerminatorResistance

* InsufferableGenius: He can be pretty uptight and full of himself at times, but to be fair, his living and work conditions are far from stellar.

* BackStab: If you have Terminator Knives, you can instantly shut down a T-800 by stabbing it in the nape. That said, [[InstantDeathRadius be very careful not to have it turn around while you're sneaking up on it]].

* EliteMooks: The T-820s are an upgraded variant with almost twice as much health and armed with harder-hitting violet plasma rifles (which do about 50% more damage). Your first encounter with them is a WolfpackBoss fight about halfway through the game in which you need to clear out an abandoned mansion that's occupied by several of them. T825Vs are essentially T-820s armed with dual plasma rifles.

* DegradedBoss: After you first fight it, copies start showing up in regular combat as EliteMooks.

* MadeOfIron: They have about twice as much health as T-800s ''and'' armor plating that significantly reduces the damage they take. However, they can be shot in their glowing eye or rear battery for extra damage, and until T-800s they can still be harmed by bullets. However, the ones fought in the first few levels lack the armor plating and have half as much health.

Small Hunter-Killer units that act primarily as reconnaissance units.

Hunter-Killer units that patrol the ruins around Los Angeles. They're usually equipped with either twin miniguns or plasma guns.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: They take extra damage to their glowing eye.
* GatlingGood: Most are armed with dual miniguns.

* PivotalBoss: The one HK Tank you fight in the campaign was immobilized by a earlier rebel strike, but that doesn't mean it will go down easily.

* ScratchDamage: They're so tough even a rocket to the head does, at most, a sliver of damage. You'll need to stun it with headshots and target its weak spots to take it down.

* TankTreadMecha: It's essentially a towering main battle tank with a massive plasma turret.

* HellIsThatNoise: Lovingly replicated engine noises from the original T1 and 2 films are a MAJOR INDICATOR that, if you don't have any real proper weapons to fight against it, the moment you even hear a whispering oncoming of its trademark twin jet engines on a course to patrol your current location, you'd best find ample cover to hide behind before its twin searchlight-guided cameras fully spot you, since not only does it have its deadly [[PurpleIsPowerful violet plasma underbelly plasma gun]], it also is equipped with equally deadly [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]] that, if they make a direct hit, they easily [[OneHitKill instakill]] you. The only real reliable way of taking them on when they start actively patrolling an area you're in is by [[HackYourEnemy hacking a Skynet violet plasma turret]] so that it downs the HK Aerial for you whilst you make yourself as scarce as possible to the overhead flying mechanical dragon.

Helicopter-like Hunter Killers that patrol the ruins of Los Angeles.

* HumungousMecha: Aside from the HK Tanks, this is arguably the single largest machine fielded by Skynet.
