My argument is that a terminator is a terminator no matter how you slice it. The only thing that was different was their programming. Why did the terminator from T2 not kill people? Because he was told not to. Call John Connor the hero of that movie. He killed the terminator in the end because the terminator couldn't even do that himself.

One aspect of a hero is the inspiration it gives to others. T2 terminator, programmed or not, was single-minded and selfless. Sarah even commented that it was the closest thing to a father John ever had. The actions of that machine (along with the training of his mother) were huge inspirations to a John Conner that until then had shunned his destiny. Since Conner went on to be the savior of the human race I think that speaks highly of the T-800's heroic qualities.
