This extraordinary device uses inter-dimensional capability to transport the user over short distances via a dimensional flux. The energy level depletes according to the distance jumped, but it recovers over time.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

Size: 2 × 2
Weight: 8
Base Price: $18200
Battlescape Score: 10
Recharge Rate: 10seconds (each jump)

Note: over short distances and energy level depletes according to the distance jumped is an error.
An exotic device able to move a unit instantaneously over any distance. This alien technology has enough dimensional flux to allow one teleportation action before needing to fully recharge, allowing another in about ten seconds. This highly technical device can be manufactured with great effort and expense, but is not worthwhile since it will become be available in limited quantities on the battlefield if not destroyed by explosives.
A teleportation location which is obstructed, will be disallowed. An X-Com unit without flying capability will only be allowed to teleport if there is ground underneath whereas, a flying agent can teleport to any valid location. Unexplored areas are also valid destinations.

-With careful [[Teleporter Management]], multiple Teleporters can employed to extremely good effect in Real Time combat while the game is paused.

-== Usage Examples ==
-A handful of the many examples that can be done with the teleporter include escaping dangerous combat situations such as when a dimension missile or [[Popper]] explodes next to your agent. It can be used to teleport right behind an enemy such as shielded [[Anthropod (Apocalypse)]] or [[Megaspawn]] to put you in perfect position to unleash a full-auto dual [[Power Sword]] or [[Toxigun]] assault at point blank range before they even know what hit them. It can be used to get out of the way of an Entropy or Dimension Missile at the last second, or flee the explosion before any damage is done. In Real-Time, Agents can teleport around the battlefield dropping blast-on-impact [[Vortex Mine]]s or [[Alien Gas (Apocalypse)|Alien Gas]] grenades all in one pause session. Teleporters can also be used to allow ground based units to reach areas that normally can only be reached through flight, and those that have flight can teleport in mid-air.
