[Chapter Concept] The Terminator — Pure T-800 Endoskeleton Killer

Hello Behaviour Team and DbD Community!

I would love to suggest an iconic crossover with The Terminator franchise in Dead by Daylight.

Killer Concept: The Automaton / The Endoskeleton (T-800)

• Visual Design: Pure chrome endoskeleton ONLY (no human skin / no actor likeness required). This keeps the licensing straightforward and lean while delivering an incredible pure horror aesthetic with glowing red eyes in dark maps.
• Power Idea (Breach & Clear): A heavy, relentless pursuer. Beyond breaking standard pallets and breakable walls, T-800 can see weakened wall sections at various tiles/loops (highlighted specifically in his HUD with a slightly different texture/tint). Using his power (M2), he can charge straight through these weakened wall sections, creating brand new shortcuts, catching survivors off-guard, and completely altering loop safety.
• (Concept video demo: https://youtu.be/1xuDhoqsrQ4)
• Scanner HUD: An active Infrared scanning mode to track survivor heat signatures and highlighted breakable structures.
• Why Pure Endoskeleton Works Best: It fits the classic 1984 sci-fi horror vibe, simplifies licensing, and makes the killer visually terrifying.

Thank you for considering this!
