*** MechWarrior Vinzenz Mühle (12th Star Guard) DESTROYED by fire! ***

Ejected from an exploding mech just to land in the heart of a forest fire.

Please, please.. Only YOU can prevent forest fires!

Ouch what a way to go. I will toast your charred remains later though I do not know you.

[BATTLEMASTER]

So did the guy actually eject from a Grizzly?  If so, that's a clever play on words for the topic name :)

[pheonixstorm]

hehe nope, but since you ask it was a Battlemaster. Very good gunner but a horrible pilot.

[pheonixstorm]

Not as grizzly but just as horrible. The Bathtub Accident
This is why it is not a good idea to fall asleep in the bathtub kids, remember what happened to Uncle Frank??

Had a city fight once were in one turn 3 pilots ejected from downed mechs INTO the side of various buildings.

Enter Ted the window washer, 6 stories up and washing the splattered remains of a combine pilot of the Defiance Plaza building.

[pheonixstorm]

Kamikaze pilots?

[pfarland]

Lol, well to do that they would have had to hit something other than just random buildings.

Which brings an interesting visual to mind.  A pilot ejecting from a fallen mech into an infantry platoon.  Bowling anyone?

[pheonixstorm]

lol or becoming a hood ornament for some combat vehicle

[pfarland]

 ;D  Turn on the wipers will ya?

All that was left of him was a fine red mist that settled peacefully onto the ground amid all the destruction.
