I have one Chimera with side armor that is invincible to AT weapons. One game. for example, I drove towards a squad of Broadsides (old ones with TL Railguns,) and turned sideways. 4 turns later, I was glanced to death (with AP1 pens, talk about bad rolling on my opponents part.) Sadly, heavy bolters to the side = death, and AT to the front = death. Hull points made me sad, as it became extra weak, and my 'invincibility' is gone...

That is just a chimera transport

You've got krak nades.

Offtopic... but this just made me think. Can drop pods that are transporting troops hold objectives? That seems a bit silly...

Yes they can, and therefore there's an incentive to shoot at them, which might take fire off the troops, or they shoot the troops and leave super-scoring pods alive. At some point, they'll need to devote/waste AT firepower on an almost harmless Drop Pod.
