Top 10 Terminator Characters


it’s one of the greatest action
franchises of all time so it’s only
right that the characters are fantastic
as well welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten Terminator characters
for this list we’re looking at the best
characters throughout the Terminator
film franchise and excluding the
television show and 2015 film
we’re also counting each Terminator
separately as they’re technically
different machines and therefore
different characters but the child and
adult versions of John Connor are all
one in the same for our purposes we be
funny a long time and we’ve all lost so
very much so many loved ones gone number
10 the TX Terminator 3 rise of the
machines the first female Terminator
seen in the series the TX proves to be a
menacing villain and a literally
unstoppable killing machine
she’s so threatening that she’s dubbed
the anti terminator Terminator with
hybrid features of the t800 and t1000
models
she also has an attractive physical
appearance which she uses to her
advantage along with her sheer strength
unwillingness to die and internally
hidden artillery she puts up a
respectable fight against the t 850
throughout the third Terminator flick by
showing off her advantages in all of
their full powerful glory played
menacingly by Christina Logan the
Terminator X looks tough and acts even
two other number 9 Marcus Wright
Terminator Salvation
played by Sam Worthington who is
personally recommended by series creator
James Cameron Marcus is a death row
inmate who becomes a cyborg my name is
Marcus Wright you Thank You Jana I am
human with a mechanical endoskeleton
Marcus not only appears human but acted
as well better this way this makes him a
trustworthy and respectable companion to
hero John Connor
especially when fighting the original
t800 in the end he makes the ultimate
sacrifice signifying his allegiance to
the resistance and his good character to
audiences you cannot save John Connor
watch me number eight Myles Bennett
Dyson Terminator 2 Judgment Day the
catalyst behind the development of
Skynet himself dr. miles Dyson is a
family man at heart but also one that
will bring about the destruction of the
human race it’s not every day that you
find out you’re responsible for three
billion deaths he took it pretty well I
feel like I’m gonna throw up
when Sarah Connor finds out about
Dyson’s work in the first Terminator
sequel she hunts him down but he’s
stopped by her own conscience and the
arrival of the Terminator Shh
what follows is one of the greatest
action scenes in cinema history where a
miles and the group destroy his research
and fight off the cops
he’s a nice and relatable character it’s
just too bad we’re his career choices
led him number seven
Peter Silberman The Terminator
Terminator 2 Judgment Day and Terminator
3 rise of the machines Sarah this is dr.
Silverman all right Sarah when someone
claims to be hunted by a time-traveling
cyborg from the future it’s inevitable
that a few people will call you crazy
and this computer thinks it can win by
you killing the mother of its enemy
killing him in effect before he’s even
conceived sort of retroactive abortion
enter Sarah Connor psychologist dr.
Silberman who provides a realistic voice
to an outrageous story at first
Silverman is calm and collected
providing Sarah with a listener and some
much-needed therapy even if ultimately
he believes her to be crazy I don’t see
any choice but to recommend to the
review board that you stay here for
another six months however his rational
demeanor is destroyed when he finally
witnesses the terminators in action Earl
Bowens cameo in the third movie makes
him the only actor aside from
Schwarzenegger to appear in all three
movies of the original trilogy you find
yourself imagining things impossible
things crazy things
number six the t800 the Terminator the
original and the scariest the Cyberdyne
systems model 101 series 800 was the
unstoppable killing machine that chased
after Sarah Connor to prevent the birth
of her future child John get out
remorseless and unrelenting the t800 was
a massive hulking figure that petrified
audiences and provided the perfect
vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger to
show off his talent and strength can’t
do that as memorable as he is the t800
remains one of cinema’s most enticing
villains number 5 Kyle Reese the
Terminator and Terminator Salvation not
a man machine terminator calories father
– John Connor
is one of the most morally sound
characters in the entire franchise as he
often only tries to do the right thing
to protect Sarah Connor
in the first film Kyle puts up a great
fight against the Terminator holding his
own against an immortal cyborg
despite being mortal himself although he
is eventually bested the action is
intense and memorable
it doesn’t feel pity a remorse or fear
and it absolutely will not stop ever we
can tell why John decided to send Kyle
back as he provides security both
physical and emotional to a vulnerable
Sarah thereby proving his good character
a few years from now all this this whole
place everything it’s gone number four
the t1000 terminator 2 Judgment Day just
when you thought the t800 was hard to
kill
enter the t1000 a cyborg made from
liquid metal that can survive pretty
much anything and even more through bars
and create knives with his arms he’s a
terrifying villain made all the more
perfect by Robert Patrick’s Deadman
performance in typical sequel fashion
these abilities out match everything the
t800 hats making him a formidable foe
and one of cinema’s most creative
on top of all that the CGI that went
into making him still holds up today
proving the characters lasting legacy in
film history get out number three John
Connor Terminator 2 Judgment Day
Terminator 3 rise of the machines and
Terminator Salvation this is John Connor
ever the headstrong never give up type
John Connor takes after his mother Sarah
and proves to be a memorable hero for
the franchise you’re not here to kill me
I figured that part out for myself
so what’s the deal my mission is to
protect you played by several different
actors throughout the film series chief
among them is the career-making
performance by Edward Furlong she knew
nobody believed her and though John has
gone through some physical changes he
remains as strong as ever in his
determination that’s just John Connor
crystal pitch we watch as he grows from
a juvenile teenager to a respectable
leader and the transitional journey is
as emotional as it is exciting
we’re state of course we are dead we are
Oh dad number two
Sarah Connor the Terminator and
Terminator 2 Judgment Day I was looking
forward to seeing my son like her son
John we get to watch Sarah’s progression
from innocence to full-on badass
starting out as a waitress with an
amazing 80s mullet Sarah grows into a
warrior out of necessity and through her
battles with the Terminator you’re
already dead everybody mu you’re dead
already
there’s only so many using is good while
she remains blood and seemingly crazy by
some we know the truth and her on her
side the whole time broke my arm there
215 bones in the human body that’s 1
while actress Linda Hamilton was asked
to return for the third movie she said
that she felt that Sarah had completed
her journey and her ending is one of
poetic beauty while the actresses
voiceover is used in Terminator
Salvation but if you don’t send Kyle you
can never be and Skynet will win the war

few honorable mentions by signing this

obsolete design DX is faster more
powerful and one telogen it’s a far more
effective killing machine oh great move

number one the t800 terminator to
Judgment Day a reprogrammed t800 this
model protects John and Sarah rather
than hunting him down and he’s all the
more memorable for it come with me if
you want to live the Cyberdyne systems
model 101 series 800 version 2.4
infiltration combat unit arguably goes
through the biggest changes in the
franchise learning about human emotions
and forging a father-son bond with John
while also delivering memorable
one-liners I need you close your boots

drew critical acclaim making the t800
both one of the greatest villains and
thanks to this incarnation one of the
greatest heroes of all time hasta la
