While technically phages are viruses, i think it is important to label them as phages.

Typically a virus does not look like a robot. The by now rather well known SARS-CoV-2, with its spherical shape is a more common depiction of a virus: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus

Bacteriophage look like little robots and from the view of a bacterium - they probably are the equivalent of a terminator: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

But phages are the most ubiquitous form overall. Maybe not as relevant if you mean viruses that infect humans.

I'm basically a needle for injecting drugs into you without consent, fight me (I'll win anyway, some percentage of time).

These fuckers make me think they're some kind of robot. They look man-made AF.
