Line 86:
** Also Dominic Payne of ''MechWarrior 3''. Epona Rhi takes over for him when Dominic's not there for most of the ''Pirate's Moon'' expansion.
* [[Determinator]]: The Mechwarrior Guard Captain from the intro movie of [[Mechwarrior]] 4: Vengeance, when he sees why no-one has been answering his radio calls:

* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]: Various neutral buildings, bridges, trees, and civilian vehicles can be destroyed. The third game even lets you go so far as to destroy the terrain, kill people and cut power lines.
** The third game went so far as to let you blow gaping craters in ''the ground'' if you so wished, something none of the other games have managed to recreate since.
Line 125:
** The dynamic salvage system of the updated ''MW2: Mercenaries'' 1.1 patch (Win9x-only) allows you to salvage any 'Mech you can destroy without doing excessive damage (via headshot, for example). And one story mission begins with you 'Mechjacking a 100-ton ''Kodiak'' from the Ghost Bears and smashing your way back to your ship.
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Epona Rhi from ''MW3'', at least if her lancemate Alan Mattila is to be believed. Epona is not amused by the suggestion.

'''Epona:''' ''What?!'' What did you say? }}
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: Cockpit kills in ''MWLL'' cause it to explode in a shower of blood the size of a small tank.
Line 205:
** The developers of MWO are apparently [[One of Us]] seeing as the concept art for the ''Catapult'' seems to literally have [[Macross Missile Massacre]] written on one of it's missile pods as shown here: http://mwomercs.com/media/artwork/1-battlemechs/1-catapult-concept
** The official website for ''MechWarrior Online'' has a short story for the ''Stalker'' 'mech.

* [[Shows Damage]]: The series uses this trope extensively:
** Type 2: 'Mechs start to emit smoke and sometimes even visible flames when they are heavily damaged.
Line 222:
* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]]: It doesn't matter how much of a powerhouse your current 'Mech is, enemy light mechs will still gun for you.
** Or if they are outnumbered, like in the first Halloran V mission where a lone light Owens 'mech charges your full lance. Of course, [[Player Character|Specter]] is amused.

** It's also fully possible to do that mission with a lance full of 100 ton assault mechs. The 25 ton Owens, outfitted with long rang missles, [[Too Dumb to Live|will charge right at you.]]
* [[Taking You with Me]]: Players sometimes attempt to [[Suicide Attack|selfdestruct adjacent to an enemy to inflict significant damage]]. In ''MechWarrior 4: Vengeance'', there was even a weapon, that when triggered, produces a more devastating explosion.
