History Awesome / CommandAndConquerRedAlert

* Any time Nadia makes tea (it's a long story). "Poison?! You BITCH!!"
* Followed, of course, by "For the foreseeable future... Comrade Chairman, I ''am'' the future."

* Stavros' revenge on Stalin at the end of the Allied campaign. Cold is not the word.

** Somewhat ruined by [[{{Camp}} him posing like a diva after the act]].

* Any time Nadia makes tea (it's a long story). [[spoiler:"Poison?! You BITCH!!"]]

* Followed, of course, by "For the foreseeable future... Comrade Secretary, I ''am'' the future."

* The Soviet commando Volkov didn't have such good lines (he used the generic Soviet infantry dialogue), but was a ludicrously badass OneManArmy SuperSoldier. He fought tanks. He fought Tanya. He fought a ''battleship''. And every time he '''won''' single-handedly. In the first mission you use him, he and his dog Chitzkoi are airdropped into a sea of explosive barrels. One Allied soldier sets them all off. He isn't even ''scratched'' by the resulting explosions. In fact, he was so overpowered, most of his other appearances has him heavily nerfed so that he's no more durable than Tanya and his weapon is just a SniperPistol that one-shots most infantry but is as useless against vehicles as Tanya's handguns are. He's only restored to his original OneManArmy SuperSoldier power in his canonically last appearance in the ''Aftermath'' mission "DeusExMachina", where the Soviet player has to race against time to recover a compromised Volkov from Allied hands, otherwise the objective will change to '''destroying''' the Soviet commando (which, given he's no longer nerfed, is easier said than done). Of course, in the latter case, success would be an [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome Awesome Moment]] for the players themselves, since they've gone against a PurposefullyOverpowered unit that can single-handedly devastate whole armies and '''won'''.

* While Tanya has definitely had some shining moments in her appearances, in the original game Tanya has a mission where she's captured by the Soviets and presumably tortured. She manages, with the help of a spy, to escape captivity and kill an NKVD interrogator, while handcuffed to a chair. And if the in-mission voice-over that plays after you infiltrate her prison with the spy is any indication, she then proceeded to slaughter her way through '''all'' of the complex's security troops with nothing but a pair of handguns before she blew it up with a C4 charge.
* Allied first level: rescue Albert freakin' Einstein. Tanya shows up laughing. She kills anything you point to. Einstein runs to safety. [[OhCrap Cruisers show up.]] The Soviet base gets shelled into nothing. [[CurbStompBattle Battle over]].

* The Soviet SuperSoldier in one of the expansion pack missions didn't have such good lines, but was ludicrously badass. He fought tanks. He fought Tanya. He fought a ''battleship.'' And he won.

* The Soviet SuperSoldier in one of the expansion pack missions didn't have such good lines, but was ludicrously {{badass}}. He fought tanks. He fought Tanya. He fought a ''battleship.'' And he won. The first mission you use him has he and his dog airdropped into a sea of explosive barrels. One Allied soldier sets them all off. He isn't even ''scratched'' by the resulting explosions.

* The Commando is pretty much a walking, talking Crowning Moment of Awesome all to himself.

** The control voiceover in the first game does a great DangerDeadpan take on superweapon announcements that really make you go OhCrap when you're on the receiving end:

* ''Red Alert 3'' features President Ackerman, a walking, talking CMOA. Ackerman's election campaign slogan? "Screw 'em all!" Vote for him, if you want to live.
** His position on illegal immigration? Attack dogs! No walls, no permits, just dogs. ''Attack'' dogs!
** "While the other candidates are serving special interests, I'm serving the Commies a steaming platter of ''shame,'' with a side order of ''suck it!''"
** He's so awesome that he's [[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/42085.html donating]] a pint of blood a week to the uninsured to make them indestructible.
** "You can twist my words, but I can twist that knee until it pops!"
** You want the real crowning moment? In the 2008 elections he actually received a fair few votes.
* "Is it done, Yuri?" "No, Comrade Premier... it has only begun."
** Quickly followed by the game's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuwtNDkHch0 incredible intro]] coupled with its CrowningMusicOfAwesome.
*** Which sadly loses out, in this Troper's opinion, to that of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvJVjAIVwxU&feature=related the sequel]]. Wow, EA knows how to get it right. [[BrokenBase Well, sometimes]]...
* While Tanya has definitely had some shining moments in her appearances, in the original Red Alert's Tanya has a CMOA in a mission where she's captured by the Soviets and presumably tortured. She manages, with the help of a spy, to escape captivity and kill an NKVD interrogator, while handcuffed to a chair.
* Original Red Alert, Allied first level: rescue Albert freakin' Einstein. Tanya shows up laughing. She kills anything you point to. Einstein runs to safety. [[OhCrap Cruisers show up.]] The Soviet base gets shelled into nothing. [[CurbStompBattle Battle over]].
* Any time the [[ILoveNuclearPower Desolator]] from Red Alert 2 [[LargeHam opens his mouth]].
--> "It will be a silent spring!"
--> "We will make an oasis of death!"
--> "Make it GLOW!"
--> "Tagged for extinction!"
--> "There goes the neighbourhood"
--> "''HERE COMES THE SUN!''"
** Also the Chrono Legionnaire.
---> "Already there!"
---> "''Never existed!''"
* Going by that, let's just say almost all the units in all the games. Special heart-warming win goes to the Avatar in C&C3, who speaks everything in a full-deadpan, evil DangerDeadpan-type voice.
--> "Under control."
--> "I like."
--> "I want that."
--> "Pay up."
--> "To dust."
** And the Rhino Tank's epic declaration in Red Alert 2 (a reference to Nikita Khrushchev's famous rant at the United Nations):
--> "We will '''bury them!'''"
*** Which is utterly smoked by the Apocalypse Tank's new voice and quotes in Red Alert 3 - all of which put the prior Apocalypse's voice to ''shame'':
---->"It is day of judgment"
---->"Bringing down the hammer"
---->"Taste your mortality"
---->"The Apocalypse has begun"
---->"Armageddon is here"
---->"They will run in fear"
----> And the return of the classic "We will ''BURY'' them!"
* Red Alert 3's most awesome/funny sequence is a mission where all you get is a conscript and a war bear and you are told to go kill TheEmperor of the Rising Sun.
** And you succeed, [[spoiler: although it's only a [[ActuallyADoombot robotic duplicate]]. Still, it buys enough time for your army to show up]].
* During Yuriko Omega's mini-campaign in ''Uprising'', she single-handedly a) destroys the Shiro Psychic Research facility, causing "many billions of yen" in damages; b) breaks out of cryo-prison and starts a riot among the Soviet and Imperial [=POWs=] that demolishes the entire camp, including ''two'' aircraft carriers, and c) comes ''back'' to Shiro, demolishes the place ''again'' despite their preparations, and caps the whole affair by taking down her EvilTwin "sister", Izumi.
