The T-600 is a line of fictional robots in the Terminator series. It can be considered a prototype to the more well-known T-800 terminator units in the series.

The T-600 is a Cybernetic Organism meant to look human in appearance, functioning primarily as either a soldier or an assassin in various situations. In addition, some T-600 units are covered in a sheet of rubber skin, meant to resemble that of a human. In the game Terminator: Salvation these T-600s are referred to as "Skin Jobs", a term borrowed from the movie Blade Runner in which Replicants were also nicknamed 'skin jobs'; the term was also used 2003-2009 television series, Battlestar Galactica to refer to the humanoid Cylons. The game also uses the nickname 'The Walker' for T-600s generally. T-600s are typically used by Skynet for espionage and infiltration rather than direct combat. However, the T-600's importance in these roles may have diminished due to the development of more advanced terminator models such as the aforementioned T-800 and the T-1000. Additionally, the T-600 has an apparent design flaw, the cybernetic cortex being too exposed and subject to piercing damage that, should it occur, causes the cyborg to experience a number of behavioral glitches including disorientation, failure to correctly recognize humans as a threat, and random discharges of on-board weaponry. The machine recovers from the damage after a while, as seen in Terminator: Salvation.

In The Terminator, the T-600 series is briefly alluded to by Kyle Reese. Contrasting it with the T-800, he mentions that T-600s were easy to spot and discover due to their unconvincing rubber skin disguise, but this was not the case for the newer T-800s, which were surrounded by living tissue, giving them a much more human appearance.

Their first physical appearance is in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in a series of flashback scenes in the future.

T-600 has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
