Its official SkyNet classification is T-X Enhanced Logic Weapons Systems Cybernetic Warrior/Infiltrator Unit. T-X's utilization of nanotechnology gave it advanced regeneration and limited shapeshifting abilities through body contact, much like its precursor, the entirely liquid metal T-1000, which appeared in '. Besides incredible strength and speed, it also had various kinds of innate ranged weapons and has the ability to infect computers with viruses and take over computer-controlled machinery. Its main power source is a miniature plasma fusion reactor housed in its torso. Projectiles appear to have no effect on the T-X's exterior. Its primary weapon is an inbuilt plasma cannon in its right arm. If the T-X's weapon is damaged, for the purpose of the film audience, an on screen display chooses a new weapon.

The T-X's prime directive is to assassinate by any means possible John Connor and his wife Kate Brewster, by being sent back in time from SkyNet, and thus prevent them from saving what is left of humanity in the postapocalyptic machine controlled future. Other members of the future resistance hierarchy were made secondary targets. In the film, John Connor refers to the T-X in an unnofficial fashion as the "Terminatrix".

The T-X was not completely indestructible. Though the T-X gets through the film with minimal damage, it is destroyed when the T-850 ignites its last power cell in the T-X's mouth.
