History Main / TerminatorImpersonator

''[[Webcomic/BlackHole2019 Black Hole (2019)]]'': In the "The Young Man of Mystery" arc, a [[NakedOnArrival naked]], [[TheStoic stoic]] KillerRobot from the future traveled to the present on a mission to kill someone. [[spoiler:That someone being Nathan Slater, [[Webcomic/EnnuiGo Izzy, Darcy and Tanya]]'s son. He ends up becoming [[CrossoverExclusiveVillain the main antagonist]] for the second crossover "Crisis on Three Comics" as he invades Key Manati to complete his mission.]] He's also a {{Sexbot}} as he has a built-in vibrator, though having sex is not it's main imperative.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Terminator Peter is a ShoutOut to both the T-800 and the T-1000, with the episode "Peterminator" veiny a {{homage}} to ''Film/Terminator2''. In the future, Stewie created a Terminator version of Peter that he intended to kill Louis. However when Terminator Peter gets sent back in time, for some reason he targets Stewie instead. Terminator Peter has several scenes lifted right out of the film, including the famous DownLaDrain ChaseScene. Later on it's revealed that Terminator Peter was sent from a BadFuture where Stewie and Brian became enemies and began warring with each other. The episode later adds Terminator Louis who is a more clear-cut T-1000 Liquid Metal stand-in, who fights a now re-programmed Terminator Peter in the climax.

** ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers'' has the Sequel Police cyborgs, whom Vohaul, having had his mind uploaded to a [=SkyNet=]-esque supercomputer in the BadFuture of ''Space Quest XII'', sends back in time to terminate Roger at the start of the game.

* ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'': The boss Abore is a CompositeCharacter of various forms of TheAhnold, including having elements of the characters Schwarzenegger played in ''Film/{{Commando}}'' and ''Film/{{Predator}}''. His most blatant Terminator send-ups are the thick black shades he wears and the [[RedEyesTakeWarning red glow that can be seen beneath them]].

''[[Webcomic/BlackHole2019 Black Hole (2019)'': In the "The Young Man of Mystery" arc, a [[NakedOnArrival naked]], [[TheStoic stoic]] KillerRobot from the future traveled to the present on a mission to kill someone. [[spoiler:That someone being Nathan Slater, [[Webcomic/EnnuiGo Izzy, Darcy and Tanya]]'s son.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'': Synth machines created by The Institute fall into several types of this:

** Rainier Wolfcastle isn't so much a Terminator {{Expy}} as he is TheAhnold, but nonetheless has directly referenced the character the actor plays, such as in "Don't Have a Cow Humanity", in which he bursts into the Simpsons house with the iconic line "Come with me if you want to live!"

# They [[DeceptivelyHumanRobots look human on the outside]], but on the inside are [[Skelebot9000 partially or mostly cybernetic]].

* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** Sergeant Metallic[[note]](known as "Major Metallitron" in the Funimation English dub and "Film/FullMetalJacket" in the Viz translation of the manga)[[/note]] is a blatant {{Expy}} of The Terminator, right down to his large hulking physique, leather outfit, and CoolShades. Although Goku is unaware that the being he's facing is a robot until the very end, we get copious amounts of a mechanical HUD (said HUD has text taken from another James Cameron-related franchise, MUTHR from the first ''Alien'').

* ''Anime/BlackLagoon'': In-universe example with a living character- after watching Roberta annihilate a group of Colombian gangsters and do an UnflinchingWalk OutOfTheInferno after setting fire to the Yellow Flag, Rock says she's got to be a killer robot from the future. When she tracks down the Lagoon Company in the next episode and proceeds to NoSell everything Dutch and Benny try to stop her, they start agreeing with him. There's even a seen where her eyes are shown reflecting light to make it appear that they're glowing red and she functions as a OneWomanArmy in both her arcs.
* The original ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' had boomers with human skin and super strength. When they accumulate enough damage, they reveal themselves to be robot skeletons with synthetic muscles.
** The 2040 remake had their own version of [=SkyNet=] in the form of Galatea.

* ''Manga/{{Yaiba}}'': downplayed but still noticeable in Gozuma, the cybernetically-enhanced warrior used by Platina Groups in the Oda Nobunaga Tournament: he's huge and imposing with sunglasses, wear military clothes and acts and talks in a rather robot-like manner. He uses a sword rather than guns though and rather than being part machine he's covered in several "microunits" which grants him superhuman power and speed. While he takes a lot of damage before biting the dust, he has some HiddenDepths (ultimately revealing himself as a NobleDemon who's willing to engage in fair play even when it wouldn't be pragmatic).
* ''Anime/Interstella5555'': The Earl de Darkwood employs an implacable cyborg as henchman. The ShoutOut becomes obvious when, after his car is crushed by a truck, the damaged cyborg emerges from the flaming wreck, and he has a red eye visible behind his sunglasses, like the Terminator.

** Prime Sentinels are a model of Sentinel which are humans that underwent an UnwillingRoboticization and were then released to [[ManchurianAgent live ordinary lives until they come into contact]] with a Mutant. After activation, the cyborgs will attempt to terminate the mutant with extreme force, often undergoing more and more of a RoboticReveal until their entire bodies have transformed into a human-sized Sentinel in order to annihilate their target. Often, their target is a mutant that is either closeted or [[TomatoSurprise unaware that they're a mutant]] and thus an X-Man is sent [[TerminatorTwosome to protect them]] and get them to safety.

*** The first is Cortex a [[spoiler: Jamie Madrox duplicate]] who was captured and subjected to UnwillingRoboticization by Damian Tryp and Anthony Falcone. Cortex was sent back in time to kill the ancestors of the Summers Rebellion, a resistance group consisting of mutants in Falcone's future.
*** While travelling through the multiverse, Jamie Madrox wound up in Earth-[=TRN193=], a universe where all but ten percent of the population was turned into monsters by the [[ComicBook/HouseOfM Scarlet Witch's spell]]. In that universe, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica had become his universe's version of a Deathlok cyborg and was now dedicated to hunting and killing humans.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** The Cyborg Superman sports much of the aesthetic of a Terminator, what with half its body being a {{Skelebot|9000}} complete with GlowingMechanicalEyes. You could basically call him a "Terminator in a Superman costume", but he is a human whose intelligence was merged with machinery and then created an artificial body to impersonate Superman. His similarity to a Terminator was played up in ''Superman Versus The Terminator'', where he allies himself with a Terminator so that the two can destroy their mutual enemies (Superman and John Connor) and pave the way for machinekind to rule. Further, in order to combat the increased threat that Kryptonians pose, Skynet upgrades its Terminators with abilities like [[EyeBeams Heat-Vision]] and {{Jet Pack}}s.
** Some portrayals of Metallo incorporate various similarities to a Terminator, such has the Skelebot9000 look, GlowingMechanicalEyes, and on occasion, an external human disguise. In particular, his appearance on ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' had ComicBook/LoisLane refer to him as "a RealLife Terminator".
** Superman, traditionally, has also employed a number of [[ActuallyADoombot robot doubles]] to help handle crises when he is unavailable, or to help maintain his SecretIdentity by having both Superman and Clark Kent be accounted for at the same time. On occasion, these robots [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters go rogue]] or become reprogrammed by one of his enemies, in which case they become terrifying Terminator Expies with all of the powers and abilities of Superman, complete with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]] via [[EyeBeams primed Heat Vision]].
* In ''ComicBook/NinjaHighSchool'', Hotaro no Kenterminator is a dual homage to Kenshiro from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' and Schwarzenegger's role in ''The Terminator''.
* ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'';
** With Dr Rotwang from ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' helping the Nazis, his Machine Man is a parody of the terminator. Having her skin burned off by fire and having a RoboticReveal.
** Satin Astro says that in the future there will be a war between a rogue A.I. and Blazing World descended BeastMen. We see an image of robots from the future scenes in the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' movies fighting ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' gorillas.

* ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'': Alice, a "Pretender" variation of the Decepticons, is a KillerRobot disguised as [[HoneyTrap a beautiful woman]] with the goal of seducing and then killing protagonist Sam Witwicky. To really sell the comparison, while chasing Sam, she pursues with TheSlowWalk in a very Terminator-like manner.
* Mr. Hinx, the main henchman from the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' was confirmed to be based on the Terminator; to that end, he's a stoic, taciturn giant of a man who shrugs off insane amounts of damage in his single-minded pursuit of the heroes, and it doesn’t hurt that he typically wears all-black ensembles and has metal implants in his hands that prove to be deadly weapons.

* While they don't look human, {{Golem}}s in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' are stoic figures with glowing red eyes, which move slowly but implacably (the Patrician finds they make good parole officers) and at least some of them can rebuild themselves. The climax of ''Literature/FeetOfClay'' is a close riff on the movies, with Dorfl as the T-800 and [[spoiler: the Golem King]] as the T-1000. (And Carrot and Angua kind of Reese and Sarah.) Mr Pump in ''Literature/GoingPostal'' can also "[[VoiceChangeling Speak With All The Voices Of Men]]", and on being told the Uberwaldean pronunciation of "Lipwig", calls Moist "Mr Lipvig" in a way that irresistibly calls Ahnold's accent to mind.
* In ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets'' Harold suggests defeating the toilets with a robot urinal called the Urinator but George says [[BreakingTheFourthWall they wouldn't get away with that in a children's book.]]
* In ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' gholam is, in essence, a Magitek version of T-1000. Thing is incredibly hard to kill, relentless in his pursuit of target and can became amorphous.

* IG-11 of ''Series/TheMandalorian'' walks up to a fort mechanically reciting the bounty hunter's guild code, dual-wielding blaster rifles with deadly precision and shrugging off the guards' fire until they bring out an E-Web blaster cannon. Then when he and the Mandalorian find their quarry is a child he prepares to terminate it without remorse [[spoiler: but Mando headshots IG-11 at point-blank range before he can fire. Later IG-11 is repaired and reprogrammed by Kuiil as a nurse droid, only to sacrifice himself by self-destructing and taking out a bunch of stormtroopers in the season finale.]]
* ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' - which takes several cues from ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', has two examples, one serving as the heroic version of this trope while the other serves as a villainous version. The heroic version is the Black Ranger Dillon who has cybernetics hidden under his skin which make him susceptible to being corrupted by the Venjix virus. The villainous example is Tenaya-7, a cyborg whose human appearance allows her to infiltrate human society. [[spoiler: She is also Dillon's sister]].
* The third series of ''Series/StrangerThings'' has Grigori, a Russian mercenary with an imposing build and a deep voice. Hopper manages to fire several rounds into his chest that he shrugs off (due to wearing a kevlar vest) and [[spoiler: he's killed in an industrial site towards the end of the series]]. The Duffer brothers confirmed he was an intentional homage to the Terminator.
* The revival of ''Series/TwinPeaks'' has Cooper's doppelganger; an artificial construct of a man from another world working for an overarching villain who wears a leather jacket, talks in an off-puttingly calm voice, shows impressive physical strength at one point and can survive fatal injuries.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The Necrons are based in large part on Terminator skeletons, being ridiculously hard-to-kill {{Skelebot 9000}}s with a special rule giving them a chance to self-repair after being killed (said special rule -- until it was renamed "Reanimation Protocols" -- being named [[ShoutOut "We'll Be Back"]]). This is less pronounced in later editions, where they take on an AncientEgypt InSpace aesthetic.
* ''TabletopGame/GammaWorld'': ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine #104 article "The Exterminator". Exterminators are based on the T-800 Terminator. They're two meter tall humanoid robots with a duralloy skeleton covered by synthetic skin that makes them look identical to Pure-Strain Humans. Their sole purpose is to hunt down and kill specific targets. They normally carry a plasma rifle, but can pick up and use other weapons. They are vulnerable to high explosives.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', the creatures known as Mezlans bear many similarities to the T-1000, being intelligent, amorphous constructs that can adopt humanoid forms and [[ShapeshifterWeapon morph their limbs into weapons]], and can regenerate from most forms of damage.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Literature/ShadowrunStorytime'': The Final Run is preceded by Aztechnology sending a full body combat cyborg to hunt down Locke - essentially a human shaped war mech using a human brain as a processor. It wears biker leathers, rides a motorcycle, and does not stop in its pursuit even as its fake skin is destroyed, revealing the metal monstrosity beneath. The team nicknames it "El Terminador".
[[/folder]]

* Executor from ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}''. He has a [[TheStoic stoic,]] [[TheSpock robotic]] personality, to the point where many other operators are convinced he secretly ''is'' [[DeceptivelyHumanRobot a robot]], has [[MadeOfIron much higher health and defense]] than other ranged operators, fights with a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] modelled after the Winchester M1887, and if his Skill 2 is in effect, [[GunsAkimbo he'll bring out a second one]] and cock both by spinning them. His introductory scene in ''Operational Intelligence'' establishes him as an ImplacableMan, [[ArrowCatch catching arrows]] and disabling hunting traps as he tirelessly pursues [[LittleMissBadass Vermeil]] through the woods. The event ends with him becoming her bodyguard, forming a BadassAndChildDuo reminicent of the T-800 and John Connor in ''[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Terminator 2]]''. His codename can even be read as a synonym for "Terminator", although it's supposed to refer to him as an executor [[BadassBureaucrat in the legal sense]].

* ''VideoGame/JetpackJoyride'': one of the "clothing sets" is a robot head and robot body for Barry, which look similar to the Terminator robots. Not only that, one of the {{Powerup Mount}}s is the "Bad As Hog", where he rides on a hog bike while wielding a shotgun a-la the T-800.

** The servants of the Reapers are often paralleled with Terminators, often being living and dead beings from all over the galaxy with various organic systems replaced by cybernetics until they're obedient slaves that will fight and die on their masters' behalf. Most of them are more like robotic zombies or {{Mechanical Abomination}}s than this trope, but there are quite a few which are roboticized sleeper agents. GlowingMechanicalEyes are common. To top it off, when trying to convert humankind into one of them, the Human-Reaper hybrid was a gigantic Skelebot9000 that looked decidedly Terminator-like.

** In a blatant nod to the Terminator, [[VideogameCrueltyPotential Renegade Commander Shepard]] undergoes more and more of a RoboticReveal as they perform immoral acts, to the point that cybernetic components under their face become visible, and his/her eyes ([[GlowingMechanicalEyes which are now mechanical]] after being resurrected) glow a [[RedEyesTakeWarning bright, menacing red]].
* One of the bosses in the first ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' game is a pair of Terminator-inspired robots/cyborgs, who were originally named [[TheAhnold Arnold]], but [[ClumsyCopyrightCensorship renamed Bloody Brad in re-releases]].

** ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'': The SA-X is a shapeshifting BlobMonster like the T-1000, which is common of all X Parasites, but the SA-X goes in to Terminator territory by impersonating Samus Aran at her full strength, which prevents Samus from attacking it head-on for most of the game, forcing the player to avoid it.
** ''Videogame/MetroidDread'' has E.M.M.I., a NighInvulnerable android with [[CyberCyclops a single glowing red eye]] that is relentless in their pursuit of Samus. And there are seven of them!
* ''VideoGame/MechanizedAttack'' have various muscular, robotic mooks that [[RoboticReveal sheds their skin exposing their interior wiring]] after being shot at, not unlike the Terminator. The game's arcade flyer even have a Schwarzenegger look-alike on it's front to enforce the reference!

** The Tyrant boss type, especially [[Videogame/ResidentEvil2 Mr. X]] (who never says a word), are a bio-engineered example of this trope. Some of them are deployed by the Umbrella Corporation as superpowered assassins whose job is to seek and destroy any survivors or witnesses of whatever crisis Umbrella has recently caused. The more incognito versions are often dressed in a BadassLongcoat, complete with a nice hat that might almost let them blend in as a very, ''very'' large human. They are utterly relentless at pursuing the protagonists, who usually are forced to either run away or use heaps of precious ammunition trying to take it down temporarily.

* In ''VideoGame/TheRevengeOfShinobi'', the Stage 4 boss is a cross between the T-800 and the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], revealing a robotic exoskeleton that explodes when defeated.

* [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Metal Sonic]] is a robot made in mockery of its enemy who keeps coming back no matter how often it's destroyed. Taken even further in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', where he's now made of liquid metal and can shape-shift.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' has a RareFemaleExample in [[spoiler:the fake Queen of Keves, who is a robotic copy of [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Melia Antiqua]]. She is a KillerRobot meant to impersonate a human-like being, and has purple GlowingMechanicalEyes and [[Skelebot9000 a skull-like face]] hidden underneath her CoolMask. Behavior-wise, she is TheStoic and is laser-focused on destroying the Ouroboros, much like how villainous Terminators in their home franchise were fixated on killing the leaders of the human resistance. And of course, she is not the real BigBad, serving under Moebius' command despite her alleged position of authority. While the fake Queen of Agnus (a copy of [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Nia]]) would likely be this by association, she doesn't qualify because her lower screentime compared to her Kevesi counterpart doesn't give her as much time to show off Terminator-like traits.]]
* ''VideoGame/XKaliber2097'' has Chainsaw, a muscular brute in military gear and combat boots looking like Arnie, wielding a Gatling-gun that he uses to attack you. But defeating him once leads to a RoboticReveal where he's a Terminator-like machine underneath.

* When ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' reviewed ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}''. Pepsiman was portrayed as a parody of the T-1000. The Nerd ended up killing him by pushing him into a vat of Coca Cola mixed with Fanta.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Barry Dylan gets seriously injured at one point and is rebuilt as a cyborg. Driven mad from the operation, he begins stalking Archer and attacking anyone close to him. After getting blown up, he returns as a skelebot with red eyes [[spoiler: and survives getting hit by a truck]].
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Zim creates a robot called a "Hunter-Destroyer" (which has a name and appearance incredibly similar to a "Hunter-Killer" robot from the ''Terminator'' franchise) to go back in time and and kill Dib before he can become Zim's enemy. However, in addition to the TemporalParadox this would create, the robot proves incompatible with TimeTravel anyway, so the scheme never gets off the ground.

** Rainier Wolfcastle isn't so much a Terminator expy as he is TheAhnold, but nonetheless has directly referenced the character the actor plays, such as in "Don't Have a Cow Humanity" where he bursts into the Simpsons house with the iconic line "Come with me if you want to live!"
** Multiple Terminator endoskeletons have appeared throughout the series usually in throwaway cameos.
** "Itchy & Scratchy Land" had the Itchy and Scrathy Robots possessing RoboCam, and wind up rebelling against their programming to attack humans.
** In "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", a deleted scene from "Burns' Heir" has Mr. Burns summoning a Robotic Richard Simmons. When it goes out of control, Smithers shoots it in the head, only for it to heal up the wound T-1000 style.
** "The Falcon and the D'ohman" straight out has Homer envisioning a Terminator apocalypse, where a Terminator endoskeleton has overtaken his and several other people's jobs before killing Homer himself.
** Homer himself impersonates the Terminator in "Principal Charming", as he uses RoboCam to look for prospective dates for Selma. And on "Homer Loves Flanders" he emulates the T-1000 by disappearing through a hedge and chasing after the Flanders' car while wielding golf clubs.
** In "I Love Lisa", Bart portrays John Wilkes Booth this way in the Presidents Day show, greeting Abraham Lincoln (Milhouse) with "Hasta la vista, Abie".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents: WesternAnimation/{{Wishology}}'' introduces the Eliminators, the robotic agents of the Darkness who eliminate its enemies. While most are goofy, cartoonish mooks, the Lead Eliminator acts the most like the T-800, wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, using two weapons on both of its hands, impersonating Trixie with Yugopotamian technology, pulls himself back together after being shattered, and most importantly, does not stop trying to eliminate Timmy even after the Darkness rescinds the order.
* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'': The Dollar-nator is a robot built by Fanboy in the future, sent to the past to help the titular duo out of jams. Not much else to do with The Terminator besides having a thick Austrian accent, imitating the speak patterns of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' sneaks into a movie about one called ''Target Man'' that ends up giving him nightmares in a KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms episode.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' when Bender goes back in time to kill Fry, he verifies(using various verbs) what he needs to do, notably avoiding using the word "terminate." Which his masters do anyway. Once in the past he scans the phonebook for Philip Fry (much like the Terminator and Sarah Connor). He also dons a pair of CoolShades before disappearing into the time vortex, insisting "It's really bright in the past."
* The ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' episode, "First Day On Sodor!" features an ImagineSpot from the Sodor Construction Company where Miss Jenny Packard unveils The Roadinator, a ''Terminator''-esque road-paving machine.
-->'''Roadinator''': I am the Roadinator. Come with me if you want to pave!
* The very first MonsterOfTheWeek in ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' was the X-Terminator, who was blatantly a Terminator pastiche, right down to his last line of dialogue in his debut being "I'll be back".
* The titular villain of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' episode "The Legend of Kid Friendly" shares some traits with the Terminator, most notably being a skeletal robot in his true form and being able to regenerate like the T-1000 at the end of the episode.
* In the short video ''The Itsy Bitsy Spider'', during a piano lesson, a music teacher discovers a harmless spider, so she calls in The Exterminator. After being blown up, all that was left of The Exterminator was a metal skeleton like that of the original Terminator.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', a WholeEpisodeFlashback of how Grandpa Max met Ben and Gwen's grandmother was an entire nod to the film, including helping her escape from a robotic alien pursuing her which was clearly heavily inspired by the Terminator.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': The Fright Hound is a cybernetic dog patterned after Scooby-Doo. When it attacks the Animal Asylum, part of its face is shot off, exposing one of its glowing red cybernetic eyes, and when it strolls through a patch of flames -- burning off the rest of its fake fur -- the music homages the theme to ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.

# Spouts familiar {{catchphrase}}s like "[[Film/TheTerminator I'll Be Back]]", "[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Hasta la vista]]", or another familiar line.

* ''Film/TheNakedGun'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va-emyrZ2kU This TV Spot]] for ''The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear'' is a blatant spoof of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', with Creator/LeslieNielsen dressed in the T-800's iconic outfit upon a motorcycle, using his {{catchphrase}}s and carrying a large minigun. Even the film's TitleCard is a note-for-note send up of ''T2''.

* ''WebOriginal/ShadowrunStorytime'': The Final Run is preceded by Aztechnology sending a full body combat cyborg to hunt down Locke - essentially a human shaped war mech using a human brain as a processor. It wears biker leathers, rides a motorcycle, and does not stop in its pursuit even as its fake skin is destroyed, revealing the metal monstrosity beneath. The team nicknames it "El Terminador".

* ''Film/{{{ROTOR}}'': The titular antagonist robot is a prototype android cop designed by the Dallas Police Department with a hard-wired zero-tolerance attitude on crime (it was TheEighties and he was explicitly supposed to be perfected for deployment twenty-five years later when crime was projected to be ''that'' bad. He was accidentally activated early). The "Sarah Connor" of the tale is a poor innocent bystander running for her life for allegedly resisting arrest as the accomplice (actually passenger) of a guy R.O.T.O.R. killed for speeding.

** The Tyrant boss type, especially [[Videogame/ResidentEvil2 Mr. X]], are a bio-engineered example of this trope. Some of them are deployed by the Umbrella Corporation as superpowered assassins whose job is to seek and destroy any survivors or witnesses of whatever crisis Umbrella has recently caused. The more incognito versions are often dressed in a BadassLongcoat, complete with a nice hat that might almost let them blend in as a very, ''very'' large human. They are utterly relentless at pursuing the protagonists, who usually are forced to either run away or use heaps of precious ammunition trying to take it down temporarily.

** Arnoid the Annihilator in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIIIThePiratesOfPestulon'', who is a bluish metallic robot with a huge reflective visor for eyes, also sporting a belt that can turn him invisible, though his dialogue is all text. He is sent by the Gippazoid Novelty Company to hunt down Roger Wilco and kill him for supposedly failing to pay }}'' Space Quest II]], as well as the slot machine Wilco broke in the game before. Wilco has to outwit Arnoid by luring him into one of two traps on planet Phleebut to survive.

** Arnoid the Annihilator in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIIIThePiratesOfPestulon'', who is a bluish metallic robot with a huge reflective visor for eyes, also sporting a belt that can turn him invisible, though his dialogue is all text. He is sent by the Gippazoid Novelty Company to hunt down Roger Wilco and kill him for supposedly failing to pay for the Labion Terror Beast Mating Whistle he ordered in [[VideoGame/SpaceQuestIIVohaulsRevenge Space Quest II]], as well as the slot machine Wilco broke in the game before. Wilco has to outwit Arnoid by luring him into one of two traps on planet Phleebut to survive.
** Carried onward into ''[[VideoGame/SpaceQuestVTheNextMutation Space Quest V]]'' with WD-40, a female variant sent to finish Arnoid's job. This model makes it clear that she intends to kill Roger and use his body parts to pay for compensation. [[spoiler: When Roger defeats her, however, [[TheEngineer Cliffy]] actually decides to put her back together and use her as the ''Eureka's'' science officer, though on Roger's condition to not be as hostile towards him.]]
** ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIV'' has the Sequel Police cyborgs, whom Vohaul, having had his mind uploaded to a [=SkyNet=]-esque supercomputer in the BadFuture of ''Space Quest XII'', sends back in time to terminate Roger at the start of the game.
** In [[VideoGame/SpaceQuestVIRogerWilcoInTheSpinalFrontier Space Quest VI]], [[Film/BladeRunner Blaine Rohmer]] hires Roger to hunt down an Endodroid he was after, which looks like a blonde Terminator with an Arnold-esque voice, and you even see him repairing his eye when you find him. Since it's made of a certain metal, Roger has to [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay freeze the Endodroid with liquid nitrogen]] to take it out.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The Necrons are based in large part on Terminator skeletons, being ridiculously hard-to-kill {{Skelebot 9000}}s with a special rule giving them a chance to self-repair after being killed (said special rule is called [[ShoutOut "We'll Be Back"]]). This is less pronounced in later editions, where they take on an AncientEgypt InSpace aesthetic.

** He struggles with the choice between good and evil, ultimately picking the former. His mechanical elements are usually representative of the latter.
