The Terminator is one of the 40 starting characters in Psychedelic Taco. He is the titular character of The Terminator franchise, and as of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, a protagonist. He was added to the roster of Psychedelic Taco as he is an icon of the action genre and one the star of one of GG's favourite films.
A T-800 Model 101 was first sent back in time from the year 2029 by Skynet to kill John Connor's mother, Sarah Conner, because she could give birth to her son, who was the leader of the resistance against Skynet in the future. Kyle Reese was sent back to stop him, during which time he fathered John and defeated the T-800 at the cost of his own life. Another T-800 was then repogrammed and sent back in time to defend a young John from a different Terminator, preserving the future.
The Nightmare spawned to rivla Terminator is Jason Voorhees, a similarly unstoppable being, though he is of a mystical origin rather than a scientific one.
==Gameplay==
The Terminator is a slow, heavy fighter capable of inflicting serious damage. His combos have a long startup, but they deal more damage than most other fighters. He attacks by swinging his fists.
The Terminator's passive is T-800 Endoskeleton. When his health reachs 0, the Terminator regains 15% of his health, and his skin burns away to reveal the Endoskeleton underneath. In this state he has reduced speed and jump height, but he deals more damage and has super armor. He cannot use any of his specials in this state, except for Winchester 1887.
*Neutral Special: Winchester 1887 - The Terminator fires his shotgun. After the first shot, the Terminator can move forwards or backwards while firing. This projectile has high speed and damage, and is mid-range. This move utilises the shotgun which was famously used by the Terminator for most of Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
*Side Special: Chill Out - The Terminator leaps forwards, spiking his opponents down with an overhead swing. If the button is held, he will instead grab the opponent. This is based on his Endo Lunge attack from Mortal Kombat 11.
*Up Special: Time Bubble - The Terminator steps through a Time Bubble, then exits through one a few seconds later. The direction he reappears in can be controlled with the analog stick. The Time Bubble is the common name for the method of time travel used throughout the Terminator franchise.
*Down Special: Unstoppable - The Terminator turns his back, deflecting any projectile attacks that hit him. This is based on a scene from Terminator 2: Judgement Day where the Terminator protects John Connor from gunfire with his body.
*Reality Break: Judgement Day - The Terminator mounts his motorbike and charges forwards, slapping land mines on anybody he passes. The land mines explode into time bubbles, sending anyone caught into the future, where they must survive against unkillable, highly lethal Terminators for 10 seconds before being sent back.
==Deep Rest==
The Terminator's Deep Rest partner is Vin Diesel.
Having defeated PT, The Terminator had secured the future. But this left him without a purpose. The Terminator decided to give itself a new purpose: it would wander the Endless Dream until it found a worthy cause. If he did not find his new cause, he would instead find someone he could trust to destroy him and ensure that his technology was never used to change the future.

Design NotesTerminator 2: Judgement Day is one of my favourite films of all time. Absolutely iconic 90's action masterpiece. The fact that since I added him to the roster he's been announced (and released) in MK11 made his moveset a lot easier to create, but there's enough to the character for a cool moveset.
