26. T-800 Terminator
The Terminator
A hulking cyborg, the T-800 Model 101 Terminator is not designed for speed or intelligence, but for power. And for guns, I guess. Power and guns. A special cyborg out of a whole group of Model 101 Terminators, this one is sent back in time with one mission: Destroy Sarah Conner before she can give birth to one who will lead the human resistance against the robots.
A formidable assassin and soldier, he has the ability to appear human and can speak naturally (or as natural as a giant Austrian can speak). In more capable hands, the Terminator could have been a complex and far less interesting character, but Schwarzenegger's limited acting gives something else to the character. A quiet menace with wit and strength.
Defining moment: Getting half his face blown off. Only to have it regenerate.
