more accurate description to the fluff is that the teleport chamber is
extremely temperamental and whilst all terminators are equipped with
Teleport homer beacons the chance of locking on to an entire squad and
teleporting them off a battle field is remote at best. or that the various
rituals needed to keep it working preclude its use on the "spur of the
moment".

Hi,
You can tell him that the termies dont actually carry the
teleporting equipment with them, they are teleported by a
machine. I dont know if this is in corrolation with the fluff,
but it would explain why to a logic freak (like myself :)
And no, they cant beam around like Star Trek, cause their
technology only allows one way travel unless they have a ground
based teleporting machine. Of course, this could lead to the
question of why they dont teleport one of these in with them,
but they are probably to big to fit :) If he asks why they havnt built a
smaller one yet, tell him that he can always make one himself
(I suggest reading Calvin&Hobbes on how to make timemachines,
teleporters, replicators and the like ;)
