They can also have a synthetic skin wrapped around them which makes them look like Arnold Schwartznegger (series T-101 model T-800), Robert Patrick (T-1000), or Kristanna Loken (T-X) (althogh the last two models can theoretically look like anyone), which theoretically allows them to infitrate human encampents to target specific humans (although why the humans don't use metal detectors has never been explained). Skynet is the computer Overmind that directs all of the subsidiary battle hardware, and in fact is largely responsible for the creation of most of it. It has decided it doesn't like humans, and wishes to destroy or subjugate all of them. John Connor is the leader of the human resistance. In the first movie, the earliest model Terminator is sent back through time to kill John Connor's mother, Sarah Connor. A human resistance fighter is sent back in time to help John Connor's mother. As you might guess, he ends up impregnating her with the kid who will turn out to be John Connor.
