The only Terminator that we know cannot self-terminate would have been Arnold in T2. In T3, he may have been reprogrammed to self-terminate if it would save John, or possibly terminate the T-X. Remember, that is the first case of a Terminator fighting against a machine designed to terminate other machines.
One thing I caught was that the Terminator, while replying to John’s idiotic question about if he remember “hasta la vista, baby”, said “That was a different T-101.” In the first two films, he is a T-800, Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. Now he is just calling himself a T-101. Is that because Cyberdyne was destroyed? Shouldn’t 101 still be his model number, and T-800 be his series number? It just sounded wrong.
The other quetion I had was how many power cells does a Terminator have anyway? In T2, after getting stabbed through the back, he has reserve power that he connects to (which the T-1000 apparently didn’t know about). In T3, he still functions after removing two.
2, I think. I’d imagine the half-second of operation he had after removing the second one was due to capacitors still being charged, or something like that.
I apologize for the bump and a resurrected thread, but hey, we’re talking about resurrected movies here. . .
I caught this too. I thought the original T1-based Terminator was a T-800, as described in T2. I thought the producers did a damn fine job in covering their tracks as far as canon storyline is concerned, but did I miss something? T-1000 was the molten Jason Patric Terminator. T-X is the Christianna Loken Terminatrix. The T-101 doesn’t exist. . .
. . . or is this some indication to tell us the thing can lie, like it did when telling John and Kathryn about Crystal Peak?

Ooooh gaws, this is my favorite of all sci-fi storylines.
