Non-Humanoid Hunter-Killers are robots that don't have the shape of a human body or skeleton of any kind, but intsead resemble vehicles. These machines were developed for combat.
Several machines where developed and created by Cyberdyne Systems, Cyber Research Systems, or Skynet.
HK AERIAL
An HK-Aerial is referred to a wide variety of Skynet's large airborne VTOL-capable Non-Humanoid Hunter Killer. Derived from the original HK-Drone, it retains the form and maneuver system but on a much larger scale. With wingspans of up to 108 feet and a devastating array of under-slung and wing mounted lasers, missiles, and plasma cannons, the HK-Aerial is fearsome and terrifying to behold.
Often operating in support of ground sweeps by swarms of Series 800 Endoskeletons, they are one of the more dangerous targets for the members of the Resistance to engage. HK-Aerials can be brought down by shoulder fired surface to air missiles.
HK DRONE (T-4 AERIAL)
The HK-Drone, also known as T-4 Aerial is designed by Cyberdyne Research Systems to be an unmanned aerial weapons systems which the organization was attempting to market to various military powers prior to 2004. As thousands were produced, when Skynet came on line, it immediately had access to a small army of sophisticated tactical air craft. One setback is that it has difficulty discerning a non living object from a living one. To it, anything warm and moving is a target.
T-1
The Series 1 Terminator, also known as T-1, is the first Terminator class robot to be produced by Cyber Research Systems. Designed for extreme combat, the Series 1 was built to clear battlefields of enemy troops with its powerful weaponry.
The T-1 was originally built in limited numbers, each individually numbered and stored under individual anti-static dust coverings. Cyberdyne created this first-generation fully autonomous ground offensive system in 2003 as part of their program to re-create the work of the late Dr. Miles Dyson. The design of the HK-Tank was an evolution of the T-1, while the concept of T-835 may originate from the T-1.
HK TANK
The Hunter Killer Tank is one of Skynet's Non-Humanoid Hunter Killers as a principal ground-based combat vehicle. Developed from the original T-1, the HK-Tank is several stories tall and vaguely humanoid in overall shape, possessing a rotating, conning tower-like "head", two steel "arms" equipped with twin-barreled directional plasma cannons, and two legs" consisting of massive individual tank treads. While formidably armed, the HK-Tank can be easily destroyed by a well-placed demolition charge.
With the increase of effective anti-HK tactics used by the Resistance to not only disable these units but to scavenge them for heavy weapons, power sources, and armor, Skynet has started equipping some units with crew compartments, containing concealed endoskeletons to counterattack the human assault teams.
AEROSTATS
Aerostats are a type of Non-Humanoid Hunter Killer produced by Skynet sometime before 2018. They are scout units that survey the land and the Resistance by air. Aerostats sends signals to Harvesters.
T-7T TETRAPOD
The T-7T Tetrapod, also known as "Spider" by the Resistance, is a Skynet Terminator series and quadruped HKs used to defend key points of interest for Skynet. They resemble the HK-Centurion in some aspects, as the legs and general shape.
The Tetrapod has crab-like upper body, twin machine guns as its arms and four arthropod legs. It is often accompanied with a swarm of tiny hovering Aerostats. Though heavily armored, they are vulnerable from behind by targeting their battery packs, or from the front via their single red eye. However, shooting the red eye will only deactivate the unit for a short period of time.
HYDROBOT
A Hydrobot is a Non-Humanoid Hunter Killer unit produced by Skynet sometime before 2018. It features a serpent-like structure with a claw at their head. It is used to patrol the waters. The Hydrobot is based on the present day model of Skynet Research's Aquatic WorkBot, which was used to maintain kelp and seaweed, find minerals and oil, and seek out organic matter.
As the name implies, a Hydrobot has difficulty operating on land, but they could jump incredible distances and use their metal teeth to cut through even metal.
HARVESTER
The Harvester is a large bipedal Non-Humanoid Hunter Killer unit produced by Skynet sometime before 2016. Its primary function is to capture the humans to do lab testing on their stem cells. This research on humans led to the creation of the Series 800 Terminator.
When a Harvester has captured any human test subject, it calls a Transport, which arrives and lands somewhere near the Harvester. After a Harvester has collected the humans, it drops the humans into the large container on the Transport.
MOTO-TERMINATORS
Moto-Terminators are automated motorcycles, produced by Skynet sometime before 2018, whose main purpose is to hunt down humans. Two of these are stored in the lower legs of a Harvester and released to round up fleeing humans and make them easier to capture. The Moto-Terminators are seen to possess incredible agility, with the sensors calculating debris or obstacles ahead, even viewing them in slow motion. With this trait, they easily avoid any obstacle, such as a car wreckage.
TRANSPORT
A Transport is a large flying Non-Humanoid Hunter Killer that transport humans to Skynet Work Camps. As large VTOL-style craft, the transport is also capable of carrying a Harvester and at least two HK-Aerials.
