unfortunately cameron missed Back to the Future when he wrote the script, or he would have clearly seen that machines can travel through time at 88mph.

One moment. You asked for expert help and you will get it. Paul Markham is probably already typing a wall of text that will answer all your questions about time travel, terminators and explain why sales will go up when Skynet kills 90% of your competition.

Because they were surrounded by living tissue.

It's because they eat bacon. Bacon is so awesome it can break through the time warp and bend space, allowing them to travel.

You're asking a question of logic about a sci-fictional movie.

There's your answer.

Perhaps the machines have better technology.

In the first episode of season 1 of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, Cameron explains that when they travel through time, they can't take anything with them... no clothes, no weapons... nothing. That's why when someone arrives in that big ball of lightning, they are always naked.

So, that makes sense for humans. The 'material' that's alive makes it through and the other material, like their clothes, stays behind.

This weird rule is actually explained in the first Terminator movie. The machine can travel back because it is "wrapped" in skin. It's a really weak and stupid argument that I just tend to gloss right over when watching those movies.

James Cameron made Terminator in 1984. Back to the Future wasn't released until 1985. Cameron had nothing to do with the Sarah Connor chronicles.

The best Science Fiction movies have excellent logic. It can be far fetched as long as it is true to itself.

There's a really good sci-fi movie that came out about 8 years ago called "The Core". It has all kinds of impossibilities in it but it actually doesn't matter because they establish the "rules" for the movie and surprisingly break none of them. As far as I remember The Terminator movies and TV show didn't break any of their own rules either, which fortunately gave us a very sexy Summer Glau, naked. (Hidden, but naked).
