Biography

The T-1000 was a cyborg sent to 1973 by the Skynet that turned John Connor into the T-3000 to change the course of the future and win the war by killing Sarah Connor as a child. It was only able to kill Sarah's parents due to the T-800 known as the Guardian stopping it and rescued the young girl raising her. Upon its arrival, the T-1000 disguised itsself as cop when it tried to lure Kyle Reese before Sarah came to rescue him.

After Kyle arrived in a street in 1984, the T-1000 appeared and found Kyle, who was also being pursued by police officers, and chased after him. Kyle went into a clothing shop where he was hiding from the T-1000. When the officers captured Kyle Reese, the T-1000 hid inside a large mirror before attacking Kyle and killing one of the officers before Sarah Connor came to rescue Kyle Reese from the T-1000. Some of the T-1000's slime landed on the van and used it as a tracking device.

The T-1000 later pursues Sarah, Kyle and the Guardian in a police car. The T-1000 stopped for a while when it's police car was blown up.

The T-1000 finds Kyle, Sarah and Pops in their hiding place of an abandoned warehouse where it dropped some of its metallic slime into the T-800 that was disabled by Sarah and the Guardian, reactivating it.

After another confrontation, the T-1000 later appears, disguised as Kyle Reese, to Sarah in a large room. When the real Kyle finds Sarah, it tried to confuse her stating that he was Kyle. Sarah guessed correctly and shot the T-1000's foot which reveals him. She shoots the ceiling from which acid spills and the Guardian T-800 holds the T-1000 in the acid rain with only the T-800's arm in the rain. The acid rain melts and destroys the T-1000.

Trivia

• This version of the T-1000 was credited as Cop.
• This T-1000 only has one line of dialogue in the entire film (not counting impersonations).
• In an interview with Robert Patrick in 2014, he said he would not return for the role of the T-1000 in Genisys because of his bad hip problem and he wanted his performance as stand-alone, hence why Byung-Hun Lee portrays it's default form in the film.
  • Had Patrick reprised the role, this version would most likely would not be considered separate from the ones shown in the Mainstream and Salvation Timelines.
• It is possible that the T-1000 killed Officer Michael Nydefer from the first film because it replaces his role of cornering Reese before being asked what date it was in the film.
• In real life, Byung-Hun Lee was nicknamed "Terminator" in high school.
