Of course, as with SUVs, there's that problem of stepping in and out of a GMU. If you don't wait to deploy the ramps, that first step down to the curb's a doozy.

Goodness. Seven years of posts, and I read them in just under a week. Always hysterical stuff. Makes me want to find a GM who's capable of running a halfway decent Robotech game.

...and then rail at the GM because he doesn't allow you to perform any of the dumb stunts you're learned from this thread?

"So why CAN'T I up and kill T.R. Edwards with a barrage of kumquats?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE SEVEN HUNDRED LIGHTYEARS FROM ANY FRUIT MARKET SELLING KUMQUATS!!!!"
"Huh! I just happen to have used part of my Pioneer Mission personal cargo allotment to carry a half-ton of kumquats along for the trip...."
"ARGGGHHHH!!! DID NOT!!!"
"Did too. I have the cargo bay ticket too.."

Lisa Hayes-Hunter picks up her luggage at baggage claim, gets to her booked apartment, zips open her case.
A ninja steps out of the attaché case, salutes her.
"Any trouble?"
"No, Lady."(as more ninjas start pulling steamer trunks and crates out of the attaché case behind him)"Only had to have a -discussion- with some baggage stevedores about proper handling of precious cargo."(He's cleaning some blood off his sword as he reports this)

Elsewhere.
Three guys are sitting in an infirmary, all of them heavily bandaged.
"So....gorilla?"
Man with bandages around neck: "...ninjas..."
Man next to him, missing one each of ears, eye, arm, and leg: "You?"
Man with bandaged hand, no fingers: "Rabid Pollinator."
"Where's your partner?"
"Infected. Had to put him out of his misery."

Meanwhile, Edwards furtively opens a bus station type locker...

Edwards: "At last, this hidden stash will allow me to flee Hunter's wrath!"

The locker opens and the rabid Pollinator latches on to his face.

Claudia: "How'd you know which locker was his?"
Lisa: "I didn't. I had rabid pollinators put in ALL of them."
Claudia: "...that's a lot of rabid pollinators..."

In an alt universe unforeseen consequences have happened due to a certain Lang Initiative. The mass cloning of T.R. Edwards.

Why Pollinators where on earth before the Masters even arrived:

Lab Assist: "Hey Lang, I've been going over the data from the SDF-1's computers again and you will not believe what I found."

*both look at the computer*

Dr. Lang: "A D.N.A sequence?"

L.A.: "Yeah. Says here the creature is called a "Pollinator"."

Dr. Lang: "So what kind of a animal is it?"

L.A.: "All it said was that it was fluffy."

Dr. Lang: "Eh, fire up the machine and lets see what comes out."

*one week later*

Lisa: "What the hell were you two thinking!?!"

Lang and L.A: "We only made 20."

Lisa: "There are thousands of the damn things in the city!"

Lang: "I don't know how they got out in the first place! One night they were there and the next thing I know they vanished!"

*That night*

Female Intern: "Oh you guys are so cute! I could just take you home."

F.I.: "......"

Rick: "Lisa, just got the reports from the aerial recon team. They said that large groups of them are heading out of the city, only they are heading in the direction of New Macross."

Lisa: "I wonder why?"

Edwards: "Ha! They'll never find me out here. What's that rumbling?"

Edwards is trampled by a Pollinator stampede.

Rather surprised to see my name dropped here, especially since I don't participate in the thread... but I can't find any fault with its accuracy.

In the infinitely unlikely event you ever see something like that happen, IMMEDIATELY consult your preferred religious institution... because that's definitely a sign that the end of the world is nigh. Other warning signs of this calamity are said to be plagues of frogs and locusts, rains of blood and fire, Kanye West realizing that the world thinks he's a prat, and Skrillix releasing an album that doesn't sound like an autotuned moose dying of asphyxiation in a tin bathtub.

*Pollinator walks up*

Pollinator: "......"

*Pollinators start to come to The Regess*

Regess: "I must have you."

Sera: "Let me get this straight mother. You invested the first year of your time here collecting all of these fluffy creatures?"

Regess: "Yes. I even have a Genesis Pit all devoted to them. Want one? "
