The '''Terminator Shanks''' are massive [[Heavy Shank]] imbued and enhanced by various tech used by the different races of the [[Solar System]]. Built to serve as powerful, automated war machines, they are primarily used to defend the [[Forum:Den of the Disgraced|The Jackal's Den]] within the ''Manhattan Nuclear Zone''. 

Later on, Many Jackal deserters would join the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]], as a couple of Terminator Shank units would be seen working with the Lion forces, mostly the Flamer Variants of the Terminator Shanks. However, the use of these would be more so used for Heavy Assault Units or Security to High-Important Figures or Important Supplies. They can also be seen in use for Gladiator battles and challenges within the House.

==Gameplay==
These Shanks are seen in their own aptly named [[Adventure]] and in the [[Forum: Den of the Disgraced|Den of the Disgraced]] [[Raid]]. They are basically the same except the Adventure variants are slightly more resilient, while the Raid variants drop the charges required to power the [[Scorch Cannon|different]] [[Shock Cannon|elemental]] [[Null Cannon|Cannons]]. There are 3 archetypes of the Shank:

===Suppressor Terminator===
{{Quote|Wait...[[Forum:Skorik, Siege Professor|Skorik]] come here! What is that tech inside that Shank?!" "It look like [[SIVA]]! Destroy it now, [[Guardian]]!|[[User:Joskaa, Lion Kell|Joskaa, Lion Kell]] and [[Forum:Skorik, Siege Professor|Skorik]] examining the Suppressor Shank}}
These [[Heavy Shank]]s are coursing with a heavily modified form of [[SIVA]] with the ability to negate Light-based abilities. Much like that of a basic Heavy Shank, this variant utilizes [[Void]] Rotary Cannons which can quickly sunder a [[Guardian]]'s health and a [[Void]] [[Absorption shield]] to protect it. Following it is an aura which swarms with SIVA nanites capable of sticking to a Guardian and suppress their abilities such as their Grenades, Melee, and Super abilities. They also utilize Cloaking technology, which they use when close to death to retreat and self repair. Once killed, they drop [[Void]] Elemental charges, which makes [[Null Cannon]]s.

===Flamer Terminator===
{{Quote|Wait, do you see the flora around that thing? It's all withering- no, burning. Stay clear of that thing!|A [[Forum:House of Lions|Lion]] scout discovering a Flamer}}
These Heavy Shanks are burning with heat coming from their A.I. Cortex. They utilize Flamethrowers which coat their foes in a fire which can quickly sunder health and a [[Solar]] [[Absorption shield]] to protect it. It emits a Burning field which can slowly chip at shields and make the player more susceptible to outside damage. They also launch Blaze Missiles, which they fire when their targets are behind cover. Direct hits from these Missiles can devastate the target's health, and leave behind a burning area-of-denial which negates cover. Once destroyed, they drop [[Solar]] Elemental charges, which makes [[Scorch Cannon]]s.

===Assault Terminator===
{{Quote|Hold the line! There has to be a break in it... I hope there is a break in the line.|[[Forum:Magnusk, Lions' Wrath|Magnusk]] and his forces dealing with Assault Terminators firsthand}}
These Heavy Shanks are armed with various weapons and tech which it uses to set up defensive perimeters and press enemy lines. They utilize Grenade Launchers which quickly fires arcing Grenades with a devastating explosion and a large blast radius, and an [[Arc]] [[Absorption shield]] to protect it. It deploys [[Web Mine]]s which immediately detonate when a player activates it. They also utilize a Frontal Shield when threatened with death; this shield can be depleted by concentrated gunfire. Once destroyed, they drop [[Arc]] Elemental charges, which makes [[Shock Cannon]]s.
