even in the Terminator saga, the terminators are controlled (for the most part) by Skynet. Skynet isnt evil. Skynet was tasked to destroy the evil people in the world. however, in all of mans' hearts lies a taint of evil and thus Skynet deemed all humanity evil in some way, shape, or form. and its primary programming was for itself to survive at all costs and to destroy any and all threats to its existence.
That's debatable. Skynet was a defense grid. It wasn't necessarily tasked to destroy "evil" people--just enemies of the USA. It became sentient and made a conscious decision to exterminate mankind. Not because all men have some taint of evil (huh huh, taint), but because humans could pose a potential threat to its existence.

Did you ever read any of the Robocop vs Terminator comics? They do some crazy stuff with the timeline, and it was written by Frank Miller. Awesome stuff.
