Why not just multiply the body weight of, say, 80 kg for an average male by
the specific gravity of steel (~7)? Humans roughly have a specific gravity
of 1, so that should give a good indicator -- 560 kg. Still, that assumes
the whole Terminator would be solid steel, which isn't entirely realistic
either...
