I won't have a Terminator because of one thing. No emotion.

I usually add emotion into my characters to make them lively, So NF299 Terminator will probably never happen Well, a terminator is not exactly a living being in the first place. A computer can never be called "living", even if living skin tissue covers it. Do you call your PC "he" or "she"?

What did they consider terminators? Here's a part of a deleted scene from the second movie.

(Sarah is about to smash the CPU of the terminator protecting them (he had it removed so that they could set it from "read-only" mode to "read-&-learn" mode, but obviously, Sarah didn't trust the machine))

"NO MOM, YOU'LL KILL HIM!"

"Not him, John. IT."

"Ok, IT. But we need IT."

Terminators can be called "he" or "she", but, if one is to consider their mechanical nature rather than their programmed default physical appearances & voices, the machine is an "it".

The people associated with terminators are biological beings, though. Bio-beings both revolve & get encompassed by machines: Bios made them, targeted by them, protected by them, interacting & affecting together in many ways.
