* The 1986 film ''[[Biggles
* ''[[Terminator]]'' is probably the most famous example of the "arrives naked" version. However, the titular killer robots are able to travel back in time because they're covered in living tissue. Presumably, the liquid metal that more advanced models use is able to mimic living tissue closely enough to work.
** Averted in the third movie, where the T-X has an energy weapon built under her skin.
** In the pilot episode of ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', the human resistance gets around this by sending an engineer back to the 1960s, where he builds a plasma rifle and time machine and stashes them in a bank vault.
** And one of the Dark Horse series of ''Terminator'' comics had a group of T-800s sent back to the past accompanied by a very unfortunate human in whose abdomen they'd surgically implanted future weapons prior to coming back. They ripped him open upon arrival and were good to go, rayguns-wise. Why Skynet doesn't do this more often (or just wrap the weapons in synthetic flesh, the same way it does the T-800 exoskeletons) is [[Fridge Logic|unexplained]].
* ''[[12 Monkeys]]''{{context}}
* In the movie ''Timeline'', the time travelers make sure not to bring anything modern back. {{spoiler|Except for one bloody idiot, whose bringing along a few grenades screws the whole thing up when he blows up the transfer point.}} In the original book, they bring [[Translator Microbes|translator earpieces]] along, but no other modern technology.
* In the third ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie, the magic scepter that was causing the time travel caused the people on each end of the time warp to switch places, with all their possessions staying in their own time. Michelangelo notices this when the Japanese nobleman appears in April's clothes, and makes a point of donning some trunks before he and the other turtles go back in time to retrieve April so that the person he switches with doesn't arrive naked.
