Mecha really tears up the environment:

01-09 Bushes, fences, curbs, mailboxes and other things
10-14 Rubble
15 Lost dog(s)
16 Automobiles
17 Houses, small-buildings and light-structures
18 A Civilian (1D6 civilians in an urban-setting)
19 Someone's hopes and dreams
20 Zendtraedi droppings (Yes, they're the size of a bus)

21 an IED that did go off the first time. (does it go off this time? See your GM for the answer)
22-41 pile of dirt
42 a jar of dirt
43 a battle-pod leg. 01-69 Not attached to anything else, 70-00 is attached to something else. (look up to see if there is an evil grin on the GM or not.)

I'm thinking of all the damage to unreinforced roads.....
The municipal pothole patching crew's gotten over loving the paid overtime and has gone to actively hating you for all the unnecessary, as-soon-as-possible repair work.

The last numbering should have ended at 52. With the next addition to the list to start at 53.

53: A loose sheet of steel (the equivalent of a Mecha-sized click-plate) that makes a loud metallic 'BANG!' when stepped on.
54: A strip of Zentraedi-sized toilet paper. It sticks to the bottom of the pad for a few miles before anyone notices (and YES, it's Mega-Damage rated. Only 1 point though.)
55: A crate of fresh but unused glow-sticks. Almost all of them burst & mix, creating a very bright (at dusk or night-time, or in a darkened tunnel) puddle, staining the mecha's foot for about 2-4 hours. Washing it off takes a pressure-hose & 5 minutes to clean it off, but your team-mates are compelled to quote lines from the Predator movies. ("If it bleeds, vhe cahn kill it." "Shut it, Rosco." / "The jungle, it came alive & killed him!" "Not funny, Jones." / "Get to de choppah!" "*Still* not funny, Rosco!" / "Time to let ol' Painless out of the bag." "Now *that* we can agree on!" (*sound of a GU-XX smacking the head of another mecha*)

70. A laser rifle...causing a malfunction of the firing mechanism causing the weapon to fire on full auto until the magazine is expended and each shot causes the weapon to jump and fire off in a new direction for the next shot.

Guess what happened at my 4th of July party with a 30 round firework box.

It is Sci Fi...and everyone diving for cover when the the laser rifle is firing wildly is funny.

A Zent. rifle might of do that. But not a laser rifle. There is no recoil in laser smallarms to make it jump around.

74: a fuel truck. the mecha is covered with fuel oil. There is a 35% chance of the fuel igniting. And if ignited the heat might cause the mecha's systems to over heat and shut the mecha down

87 a nest of fire ants, that many have taken up residence inside the mecha. To the detriment of the mechanics who will service the mecha later.

88. Clothesline. You're dragging somebody's delicates all the way back to base.

89. Banner. You're wearing a giant 'Welcome Parsnipville Pariahs!' around on your mission until you can un-entangle it.

90. Palette of paint cans. So much for either your camouflage scheme or your custom ace warpaint.

84b.....the end result is a giant whipped-cream pie right to the face of your mecha. As the large tin-foil plate slides off, a Zentraedi pops out of the bushes, arms raised in triumph with a loud "YES! IT WORKED! Now I understand Micronian slapstick humor! My thanks to you, fellow warriors! I go now to master the art of 'stand-up'! Farewell!", and marches off in triumph, humming Lynn-Minmei's latest release.

93. Faerie Circle--First Contact with actual magical fey in godonlyknowshowlong, and you manage to #### them off by trodding on their magic circle. If you're lucky, they'll only have you boogie 'til you drop, or your mecha breaks down(maybe they won't realize it's only a pilot inside).

Tentacle, wrapped around your mecha's leg, dragging you into a sinkhole, on FIRE, and you just went insane trying to describe to your colleagues what's happening to you...
