T-800
Robotic killing machine
The T-800 is a fictional cybernetic assassin from the *Terminator* film franchise—a robot with a metal endoskeleton covered in living human tissue.
The term has become shorthand for any relentless, unstoppable pursuer or emotionless enforcer: He just kept coming like a T-800.
Sometimes used admiringly for someone who performs with machine-like efficiency or endurance.
