Promotional art of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. In addition to all three being major science fiction action/horror film franchises from the 1980s and 90s, they also share several other connections: The franchise, particularly the film series, has many behind the scenes links with the Alien and Predator film series. The Terminators are the titular characters in the Terminator series, created by James Cameron in association with Gale Anne Hurd and Wiiliam H. While created as killing machines, Terminators have, on occasion, been reprogrammed by the human resistance to protect certain human individuals from more advanced robotic machines that attempt to kill them. Terminators, specifically humanoid infiltration units, were also sent back through time by Skynet to find and execute its enemies in the past before they could become a threat in the present. In the future, Skynet employs Terminators to clean up the remaining human population after wiping out most of mankind, whom it judged to be a threat, by instigating a nuclear holocaust, which was dubbed Judgement Day by the survivors. Some Terminator models are also cyborgs, with the earlier Terminators being covered in rubber, due to the nature of Skynet's logic at that time, which later led to the development of advanced models covered in living flesh and programmed to imitate the appearance and mannerisms of humans in order to infiltrate and eliminate the human resistance enemies of Skynet.

They are notable for their armoured, metallic endoskeletons, enhanced robotic strength, glowing red eyes and inhuman endurance. The Terminators are a series of combat and infiltration robots created by the artificially intelligent computer defense network Skynet in the early 21st Century.
