24 Facts About T-1000

The T-1000 is described in Terminator 2 as being composed of liquid metal, or a mimetic polyalloy that it can manipulate to assume various forms.

In Terminator 2 and T2: 3-D Battle Across Time, the T-1000 is presented as a technological leap over the T-800 Terminator, known as a Model 101.

Cameron's original pick to play the T-1000 was rock musician Billy Idol, and storyboards had the android resembling him, but a serious motorcycle accident prevented Idol from accepting the role.

In Terminator Genisys, the effects of the T-1000 were made by British effects company Double Negative, responsible for the T-3000 and T-5000 terminators.

The T-800 explains that the T-1000 is a more advanced Terminator, composed entirely of a "mimetic polyalloy", rendering it capable of rapid shape shifting, near-perfect mimicry and recovery from damage.

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the T-1000 is sent by Skynet back in time to kill a young John Connor, the future leader of the Human Resistance against Skynet.

T-1000 then pays a visit to John's foster home and takes the place of his foster mother, Janelle Voight, intending to wait for John to return, but John calls ahead and the T-800 is able to confirm that the T-1000 has infiltrated the house when it incorrectly names John's dog.

T-1000 is frozen solid by leaking liquid nitrogen, allowing the T-800 to shatter it with a single pistol round.

The T-1000 then continues the hunt for John, unaware that the T-800 has rerouted power and reactivated itself.

T-1000's successor is the T-X, designed to not only terminate humans but rogue Terminators reprogrammed by the Resistance, an "anti-terminator terminator" as stated by John Connor.

The T-X is a composite of the T-800 and T-1000, combining the former's solid endoskeleton covered with the latter's liquid metal "mimetic polyalloy", allowing it to take the shape of any humanoid it touches.

The T-1000 attacks, killing Garber, and almost killing O'Brien and Reese before it is interrupted by the arrival of Sarah Connor and the Guardian in an armored truck.

T-1000 is drugged and, while in a delirious state, questioned by Skynet about Tech-Com's acquisition of a T-800 unit.

The T-1000 finds his targets on a naval base, set up by RoboCop.

T-1000 gets in, but the vessel they are on begins to sink, but even with some help from the re-activated T-800 unit, John Connor is dead and the vessel sinks to the bottom of the sea, with everyone on board possibly drowning in the fight.

T-1000 is featured alongside the T-800 in Call of Duty: Vanguard, where they are playable operators.
