Terminators through Time

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

The movies establish that only biological material can transfer (and I guess mimetic alloy that looks like biological material for the T-1000) back through time. Hence why they show up naked, and hence why the terminators are metal wrapped in a meat shell to transport. So yeah, it's still a plot hole that Cromartie's head bounces through after Sarah zaps him.

Of course, if it was Cromartie's severed head with the biological covering still on there, it might slide.

Of course, the bigger plot hole is what about the rest of his body? What happens to it for 8 years? One would think that the cops would find a headless body, do an autopsy and figure out he's a tin man...
