There's an Alexa speaker that is modeled after the Terminator, as reported by CNET. Standing 18-inch tall, the speaker is called Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton Multimedia Speaker and features red, glowing eyes.

The speaker has a camera that can be used to monitor your home while you're out, and you can ask it questions and order services. AC Worldwide also made a range of Start Wars speakers recently and built the latest Alexa speaker. 

AC Worldwide launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for this speaker way back in 2017. The funding gave the T-800 speaker the gift of sight. It also has motion sensing to keep an eye out for intruders. 

Additionally, you can apply a filter to shots taken with the speaker's camera to replicate the T-800's head-up display.

Similar to Amazon's Echo, the T-800 can connect to your WiFi network, and it features a tweeter and subwoofer for that crisp, clear sound and powerful bass. Suppose you don't have a Bluetooth-compatible music player, don't worry; the device comes with an auxiliary port. It also comes with a built-in microphone for voice calls. 

Furthermore, you can command the T-800 to control smart home devices, such as door locks, thermostats, and alarms. Also, wouldn't it be so cool to ask about the weather, too?

The Best Alexa Speakers

Most of the best Alexa speakers today come from Amazon. For one, their Echo lineup has the deepest assistant integration today. If you're not up for some Terminator action in your home, then here are some other Alexa speakers you can choose from.

If you want a full visual experience, then you can't go wrong with the Amazon Echo Show 10, which has the best smart display for Alexa so far. The screen can follow you around to keep you in the frame, which is very handy for all those video calls or when you're running around the house. The Echo Show 15 is a bigger version you can mount on the wall. 

On the other hand, if you take your home audio even more seriously, the Sonos One is an excellent choice. Although it's a bit pricey at $199, the sound is excellent. It works with hundreds of streaming sources. 

Now, if you're looking for something portable, then the UE Megablast is perfect. It's wireless and waterproof, so you can take Alexa wherever you go. 

You can still get the 3rd-gen Echo Dot along with the 4th-gen Echo if you are having a hard time deciding. 

But still, the T-300 speaker may look so cool in your home.
