To be specific, it’s the metal face of Skynet’s robot apocalypse in the form of the Terminator T-800, the original model of the death machine played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the classic 1984 film. The device is the creation of UK-based ACWorldwide, whose CEO, Karl Grimsey, told me that they have a worldwide license to produce the Alexa-powered speaker using the iconic sci-fi image.
