See the paragraph on nomenclature in the Terminator article. Does as good job of addressing this issue.

== Cyborgs? ==

The article refers to the T-600 as a Cyborg in various areas. While this may be true in some situations, the T-600 is an Endoskeleton system that at best has been shown to dawn synthetic rubber coverings as a "skin". The "skin" its self has shown to have no living properties. The T-600 contradicts what a Cyborg is in a traditional cyberpunk definition of the term. The T-800s '' '''can''' '' be cyborgs, but they too are merely a computer driven weapon designed to look like a mechanical skeleton. At least the the T-800's "skin" is a living organism, which is the missing half of a T-600 "Cyborg". I'm of course using the street/cyberpunk definition of a cyborg, there are a lot of things about the T-600 that technically qualifies it to be a cyborg, but most hardcore cyberpunk fans like me don't immediately think of that definition. I think more of Bionics when I think about the T-600s, rather than a cybernetic/organic hybrid being. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Victis Kato|Victis Kato]] ([[User talk:Victis Kato|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Victis Kato|contribs]]) 01:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

merged

[edit]

The previous content of this article has been merged (and slightly reworded to blend in nicely) with the T-800 article, as a result of this VFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:15, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
