Arnold Schwarzenegger acted in Terminator 2. (PROSE: The Algebra of Ice, Timeless)

Behind the scenes
Promotional photo of Matt Smith's character in the 2015 film Terminator: Genisys.
- Skynet is very similar to WOTAN. Both are self-aware supercomputers that create robotic servants to take over the world. Also, WOTAN's War Machines are reminiscent of the T-1s from Terminator 3. Although the War Machine is simpler in design, the two have a similar shape: both have firearms mounted onto the top-left and right on their structures and numerical designations can be seen on the T-1.
- The Cell 114 sleeper agents in TV: Sleeper share similarities with the T-1000 in the Terminator movies: both are infiltrators who are able to turn their hands into stabbing weapons. The Torchwood The Official Magazine Yearbook (2008) says that James Moran was inspired by the Terminator movies in creating Cell 114.
- Matt Smith, who played the Eleventh Doctor, played the T-5000 in the 2015 film Terminator: Genisys.[1] Matt Smith also exists in the DWU.
- As a story featuring the sunglasses-wearing androids the Men in Black, TV: The Vault of Secrets alludes to the franchise. Clyde says the phrase "hasta la vista" shortly after killing two Men in Black androids, which a line associated with both the T-1000 and John Connor in the second and third films. He later describes the androids as being as "Clydenated", a pun on the term terminated. After being drained of power, the Man in Black Mr Dread says "I need a holiday," similar to the T-800's "I need a vacation" in the second film.
