'''The Terminator''' franchise were a series of movies and television shows released during the late [[20th century|20th]] and early [[21st century]]. The premise was that of a supercomputer, called Skynet, devastating [[Earth]] with [[nuclear weapon]]ry in an attempt to wipe out [[human]]ity. Skynet then created armies of [[robot]]s called ''Terminators'' to fight a war with the survivors. The plot of the first movie was Skynet sending one Terminator [[Time travel|through time]] to kill the mother of the leader of humanity, John Connor, before he was born. | '''The Terminator''' franchise were a series of movies and television shows released during the late [[20th century|20th]] and early [[21st century]].

In [[Brussels]], [[Fitz Kreiner]] and [[Dave Young]] witnessed a man apparently die in front of them, then arise in a twitchy, robotic fashion. Young likened the awkward resurrection to ''[[Terminator 3]]''.

[[Clyde Langer]] made two [[Men in Black]] inadvertently destroy each other. He picked up a pair of sunglasses worn by them and put them on, saying "hasta la vista", in a similar fashion to the Terminator, which wore sunglasses in the movies. Clyde later stated that they were "Clydenated", a pun on the term ''terminated''.

*Skynet is very similar to [[WOTAN]]. Both are self-aware supercomputers that create robotic servants to take over the world. Also, WOTAN's [[War Machine]]s 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. | * Skynet is very similar to [[WOTAN]].

*The [[Cell 114]] sleeper agents 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. | * The [[Cell 114]] sleeper agents share similarities with the T-1000 in the ''Terminator'' movies: both are infiltrators who are able to turn their hands into stabbing weapons.
