When Anakin has burned on the lava bed, we see his mechanical hand dragging himself up, and later, when the mask is lowered, we see the eyes closely resemble that of the Terminator's.
To me, this was a superb way of portraying Vader as the machine he will soon become. Also, the use of machines as evil is reminicent of the Terminator.

The use of visuals used by the Terminator really helped sum up the fact that Vader, like the Terminator, was nothing more than a monsterous machine. That is until he finally redeems himself.
