The ''T-800'' / ''T-850'' Terminator—a cybernetic organism,〔an automaton in the form of a human being. - Dictionary Definition〕 initially portrayed as a programmable assassin and military infiltration unit, and then as a bodyguard and construction worker—is any one of a number of fictional characters portrayed by both Arnold Schwarzenegger and numerous actor stand-ins digitally overlayed with "Schwarzenegger's likeness" via using archived footage in the ''Terminator'' franchise. It is known in-universe as Model 101. The T-101 (an abbreviation of its designation as Series 800, Cyberdyne Systems Terminator, Model 101, and its Series 850, Resistance Infiltrator Terminator, Model 101 variant) character first appeared as the titular antagonist in ''The Terminator'', a 1984 film directed and co-written by James Cameron, and its sequels. The first film in the series features only one android: the one portrayed by Schwarzenegger, although a second T-800 played by Franco Columbu is shown in a future flashback scene. In the first two sequels, Schwarzenegger's Terminator is pitted against other Terminators; it appears briefly in the third sequel as a T-RIP (Resistance Infiltrator Prototype) CGI model. In the sequels, ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'', ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'' and ''Terminator Genisys'', Schwarzenegger reprises the role, albeit as the protagonist instead of the antagonist, playing a different but visually identical "''Terminator Model 101''" in each film. Within the ''Terminator'' universe created by Cameron, Terminators of the same "model" share identical characteristics. In the production of the films, this has allowed multiple Terminators to be portrayed by Schwarzenegger (with varying model iterations accounting for Schwarzenegger's physical aging as the series has progressed). In the context of the stories, this plot device provides a certain continuity for the human characters by exploiting their emotional familiarity with a particular "human" visage associated with each "model". The "Terminator" title has also been used as a generic name for other human-simulating characters in the "Terminator" universe, notably the liquid metal shapeshifting T-1000 antagonist in the sequel ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' and a T-850 in the sequel ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines''. ==Character nomenclature== The Terminator is the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the credits of the five ''Terminator'' movies. At different times, the character is given more specific designations such as "variant", "model" and "series" numbers, in efforts to distinguish Schwarzenegger's character from other mass-produced Terminators. For his role in ''Terminator Salvation'', Schwarzenegger reprised the role via facial CGI, used because Schwarzenegger's duties at the time as Governor of California prevented him from working on the film. The character's body is physically portrayed by Roland Kickinger. Schwarzenegger returned to the role in ''Terminator Genisys'', a prequel/reboot of the series focusing on an alternate timeline where a T-800 is sent to protect and train young Sarah Connor. The end credits of the first three ''Terminator'' films list Schwarzenegger's character as simply "The Terminator", while in ''Terminator Genisys'', he is credited as "Guardian". Later films call the newer terminator characters by their series numbers (T-1000, T-X, etc.). The only consistent name for Schwarzenegger's Terminator character has been "The Terminator". Kyle Reese in ''The Terminator'' and Schwarzenegger's character in ''Terminator 2'' refer to it as a "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101". In ''Terminator 3'', the Terminator refers to itself as a "T-101", which could be an abbreviation of its model number. In ''Terminator Salvation'', the ''T2'' Extreme Edition DVD, and the ''Terminator 2'' video game he is referred to as an 800 series and a T-800.〔''Terminator 2 Extreme Edition DVD'' 30-page booklet; DVD interactive documentary titled "Data Core", Chapter 9: "Casting"〕 The ''T3'' extras refer to him as an "850 series Model 101", a "T-850", ''and'' a "T-101". Additionally, most merchandising for ''T2'' and ''T3'' - both at the time of their original releases and retroactively - (e.g. Action Masters miniatures, Cinemaquette statues, Sideshow Collectables replicas, Hollywood Collectibles statuettes, ArtFX kits, Medicom figures, Hot Toys, and McFarlane Toys) have all used the T-800 and T-850 nomenclature, contributing to this designation having arguably the most popular and widely disseminated usage, especially in direct juxtaposition to the explicitly named T-600s and T-1000. ''Terminator Salvation'' has the first on-screen usage of the term T-800, when John Connor sees blueprints of said series' endoskeleton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terminator (character)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
