The cyborgs went for a trip on the Central Line, red buses and later swapped Arnie’s iconic Harley for Boris Bikes.
Special effects make-up artist Monika Swiatek pulled off the incredible transformation using prosthetics on six male models.
Using a selection of prosthetics, some homemade.
Monika made up dreaded ‘T101 Terminators' from the Hollywood movie. The latest installment in the franchise, Genisys, opens in the UK today. (THURS JULY 2)
During their patrol through the capital they also took in the sights strolling across London Bridge.
And while drawing gasps from some, commuter Clare Namayanta, 26, felt a pang of recognition.
She said: “When I first saw the terminators they scared me, I wondered what was going on.
Bystander Paul Smith, 43: “When I saw the terminators I thought, ‘It’s happening - Terminator’s back’.
“The effects are really, really, cool."
Monika, from Poland, has been living in London for seven years and works in fashion and the film industry as an expert with prosthetics.
The makeover was done to illustrate the findings of a survey by Rustlers into the robotic nature of the modern commute.
The micro-snacking company conducted the survey in celebration of their Terminator Genisys on-pack promotion, which offers the chance to win a Terminator-themed home entertainment system.
Research found that commuters were so oblivious during their daily travels that only 18% could remember the person sat opposite them.
However, 52% became more aware of their surroundings when a well-known piece of music was played.
And a massive 89% when the smell of a cooked burger and chips was wafted in.
Terminator model Matthew Checketts said: "Most commuters weren’t paying attention then looked up and saw me and said, ‘wow’.
“After the initial scare everyone was entertained - especially some of the younger children.
“It was a lot of fun being a terminator for a day. It was fun to scare people a little.”
