Biography[]
After emerging from the time displacement sphere, at 1:52 AM on May 12, 1984 at the Griffith Observatory, the naked Terminator encountered three punks roaming the streets: Johnny, Rick, and Mark. It began to imitate what the punks were saying, before forcibly demanding their clothing and killing two of them when they responded with aggression. At some unspecified time later, in the earlier hours of the morning, it went to a gun shop to acquire weapons for its mission, killing the shop's proprietor so it could pocket the ammunition. The Terminator then checked a phone book for a list of Sarah Connors, finding a total of three. It proceeded to kill Sarah Anne Connor and Sarah Louise Connor, before tracking down its intended target - Sarah Jeanette Connor — in a bar named Tech Noir. For his actions he was called "The Phone Book Killer" by the press. The Terminator nearly succeeded in killing her, but Kyle Reese - a soldier sent by the future John Connor to protect Sarah against the Terminator in the past helped Sarah to escape by delaying the Terminator. Because the Terminator was part of a newly developed line in the future that made advance detection near impossible, especially in the past, Reese was forced to wait until the Terminator approached Sarah before he could interfere in an attempt to "zero" her assailant.
A chase ensued and the Terminator was injured in a car crash, damaging its arm and left eye. After removing the useless flesh eye (exposing the cybernetic optic underneath), the Terminator wore sunglasses so as to conceal its cybernetic eye and continue passing off as human. Armed with an assault rifle and shotgun, it then went to an LAPD police station to terminate Sarah, and while it went on a shooting spree which killed 17 police officers, it failed to eliminate Connor before she escaped with Kyle.
The Terminator later went after and murdered Sarah's mother, and by impersonating her over the phone, was able to trick Sarah into revealing her and Kyle's whereabouts at the Tiki Motel; but the two escaped again. The Terminator proceeded to pursue them on a high speed motorcycle through a tunnel, then tried to run Sarah down with a commandeered tanker truck, while Kyle inserted a pipe bomb to destroy it. However, while the truck was destroyed, the Terminator survived; its living tissue was burned away by the fire, but its endoskeleton had survived and continued functioning, with only a disabled left leg joint.
Death[]
The Terminator chased Kyle and Sarah into a factory, where Kyle attempted to blow it up and was mortally wounded in the process; though the explosion succeeded in crippling the Terminator further by blowing its legs, pelvis and left hand off, its endoskeleton from the waist up still survived and continued crawling through the factory after Sarah. Sarah managed to trap the Terminator and activate a hydraulic press on it just as it was about to choke her to death; the press crushing and flattening the machine beyond repair. It was finally destroyed, leaving little more than the arm it had attempted to choke Sarah with.
James gave his death the Golden Chainsaw because it lasted for a long time and proved just how much of an unstoppable killing machine the T-800 Terminator is.
