In Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines (2000) and its Italian-localized counterpart Terminator 3: Le Macchine Ribelli (2000), these units represent a critical gameplay transition, appearing in both first-person shooter levels and third-person action sequences. Players encounter them in high-security military installations, where their patrol routes and heavy armor require strategic use of cover and explosive weaponry.

By the release of Terminator 3 The Redemption (2004), the unit's combat capabilities were expanded to fit the game's vehicular and rail-shooter segments. In this title, they utilize rapid-fire energy weapons and homing missiles, forcing players to engage in high-speed evasion while targeting the units' exposed propulsion systems.

Visually, the design serves as a canonical link between modern military prototypes and the iconic aerial combat units of the future war. Developed during the peak of Atari's licensing of the franchise, these digital representations allowed players to experience the immediate chaos of the automated takeover. Their presence across these three specific releases highlights the era's focus on expanding the cinematic universe through interactive media, offering a tangible look at the immediate precursors to Skynet's global arsenal.
