The T-1000, also known as a Series 1000 Terminator, is a fictional shapeshifting robot assassin, serving as the primary antagonist in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the secondary antagonist in Terminator Genisys. The new T-1000 demonstrated the ability to sever one of its limbs and hurl it like a javelin at its targets. It also demonstrated the ability to hide within a large mirror.
Original timeline
The first T-1000 is sent by Skynet back in time to kill a young John Connor, the future leader of the Human Resistance against the machines. The T-1000 ambushes a Los Angeles Police Department police officer on arrival and takes on his identity, tracking down John Connor through the police cruiser's on-board computer and eventually confronting him in a SHOPPING mall, where it meets a T-800 Model 101 similar to the one from the first Terminator film. The T-800 is revealed to be Connor's protector, and the T-1000 the assassin.
The T-1000 uses its morphing capabilities to track down John Connor and eliminate all who stand in his way, including John's foster parents, his dog, and a security guard at a psychiatric institution where Sarah Connor is being held. After tracking the Connors and T-800 to Cyberdyne Systems Corporation headquarters, it gives chase and crashes a truck carrying liquid nitrogen into a steel mill.
The T-1000 is frozen solid by leaking liquid nitrogen, allowing the T-800 to shatter it with a single pistol round (hasta la vista, baby). After the T-1000 reforms the T-800 engages it in hand-to-hand combat, to buy time for Sarah and John, but is defeated and shut down in the process. The T-1000 then continues his hunt for John, unaware that the T-800 has rerouted power and reactivated itself. The T-1000 duplicates John's mother, and John is faced with both - however John identifies the T-1000 by its feet which have melded to the walkway, and tells Sarah to blast at it repeatedly. The T-800 then fires his last grenade, detonating it inside the T-1000. Severely contorted and unable to reform itself quickly, it lost its balance and falls backwards into a vat of molten steel, and unable to stand the high temperature of the molten metal, dissolves beyond its ability to reform. The T-1000 gave one last metallic scream of mindless terror as it literally turned itself inside out, vomiting forth its own face from within before dissolving into nothing, its mission a failure and its existence ended.
New timeline
A new T-1000 model was sent back in 1973 to terminate a young Sarah Connor, much like how the original T-1000 was sent back to 1995 to terminate young John Connor. It only succeeds in killing Sarah's parents, but was defeated by a reprogrammed T-800 Model 101, who was sent back in time to protect Sarah. It spent the next 10 years taking on various forms while attempting to find Sarah and the Guardian, who had since gone off the grid. Shortly after Kyle Reese arrives in May 1984, the T-1000 masquerades as a South Korean policeman and chases Reese into a clothes shop (reminiscent of Reese's arrival in the original film), where it attempts to terminate him. Sarah arrives in an ambulance and rams into the T-1000, shooting it several times in order to stall it and get Reese to come with her.However, the T-1000 attached a piece of itself in the form of a latch to the back of the truck which allowed it to follow them. Chasing the truck in a cop car, it catches up after the Guardian detects the piece of alloy and blows it off the truck. First the T-1000 tries shooting Kyle and Sarah and when that fails, jumps onto the truck, attaching itself with its swords. Kyle and Sarah manage to blast it back onto its car and Kyle blows it up with a grenade launcher. The blast temporarily liquefies the T-1000 and allows them to get away.
The T-1000 follows the three to an abandoned warehouse where it pins the Guardian to a wall with a pipe, reactivates Skynet's T-800, sending it after Kyle and chases Sarah itself. Taking on the form of Kyle, the T-1000 tries to trick Sarah who gets confused when the real Kyle enters the room, having deactivated the T-800 once more. Finally, to figure it out, Sarah shoots one of the two in the foot which reveals it to be the T-1000. The T-1000 chases Kyle and Sarah towards a nearby tunnel, but it turns out to be a trap as Sarah shoots the pipes overhead which are full of hydrochloric acid. The acid starts to dissolve the T-1000, but, badly damaged, it gets through it and tries to strangle Sarah. The Guardian appears, having freed itself and holds the T-1000 under the acid shower. The acid dissolves the T-1000, completely destroying it.
