pah, watch the film.
the machines took over because sky-net gained sentience, sky-net proceeded to create a massive army of machines (before going Rebel) and then took over.
this was prevented (Terminator)
then, i forget what the second film is about...
oh yeah, the other dude managed to find a piece of the Teminator unit from the first film and back-engineered it to created the humanoid terminators.
he was summarly killed and so could bring about judgment day (yayeth!)
again, no humainoid Terminators (Terminator 2: judgement day)
unfortuenty, unbeknowsnt to Sarah connor (well, apparently not given all those guns she has in her coffin) Skynet was rebuilt in a top secret lab (isnt it always?)
probably in the cheyyenne mountain complex, cant remember just everything is.
anyway, skynet achieves sentience, and other Terminator units are produced (the T-1000 comes later as an assassin drone, and for instilling fear into the rebels) Skynet goes nuts, spreads a virus (computer) and then takes over when she is given command.
proceeds to cause a nuclear war, all-but wiping mankind out.
Judgement day occurs, mankind bites it.
Terminator 3: somthing or another.
nothing to do with human-esque androids as you see.
