Watching a supreme commander replay. Very early in the game the guy
loads up three transport ships and sends them to his opponent's
base. Unfortunately, he hesitated before dispatching his troops and
the transports were destroyed. That reminds me of picking up the
enemy commander in Total Annihilation. It's a riot if you can pull
it off against an unwary opponent (either a newbie or just not
paying attention). 

Then there is WarCraft 2s Barracks in the Mine trick.

No RTS should be without one.
