I haven't read it in a while, though, so I may not have it 100% correct.

I am pretty sure they don't have to be out of the vehicle. (But then I call them wimpy cowards...) So hopefully one of us will actually look it up.

OK, I just pulled it up. (Grrr, Adobe Reader slows this machine to a crawl.) Surprise, surprise, it doesn't actually address this issue

It does, however, refer several times to Transported Units not actually being present on the table. If they aren't on the table, it seems to me it would make it rather difficult for them to be within range to hold an objective. So I'm standing by my previous statement unless someone finds something from GW that explicitly says otherwise.

Looking at the FAQ under the vehicle section how it says that "transported models are not physically on the table, they can not do anything (unless differently specified)." This makes me think taht they can't take objectives since that would fall under doing something.
