One thing that has always bothered me about Terminator. Why would Skynet put the "brain" in the thing's head? It's the least armored part of the robot. It would make more sense to put the processor in the torso where it would be much harder to damage. It's not like terminators are limited by signal time across biological neurons, which is why animals have the brain near the sense organs. Transmission times from eyes in the head to a brain in the torso along fiber-optic lines would be irrelevant.
You make a good point, however you need to remember that the power system, both power storage and motors, need to go somewhere.
I could easily argue that the power storage is just as critical a part as the central processing unit, but takes up a lot more space. So why not put the CPU in a hardened "head", and the battery pack in the torso?
