Favourite units in an RTS?

Awwww..... I remember this little dude.

But for me, its gotta be...

EDIT: Sorry folks, didn't think the image was that big.

Alright alright, the mammoth tank is more awesome than the Peewee, I think it's just CnC's Krogoth though.

I think the Peewee is like the redshirt of Total Annihilation though, one dies in every single cutscene.

True but the dreadnought was something you could only find, not build. But yeah, for that mission that thing was a MONSTER

 

[BolognaBaloney]

The heroes I make in Battle for Middle Earth 2

 

[Slycne]

Arcani from Rome Total War - high attack, high defense, could hide anywhere and could run down some cavalry units. What's not to love other then their obscene cost and tiny unit size.

 

[timmytom1]

"Give me a rifle some ammo ,and point me to Berlin" COH`s infantryman is officially pretty cool

 

[countrysteaksauce]

Level 3 Boris on Red Alert 2.
He can pretty much take out an army by himself.
The airstrikes just add to the carnage

 

[Grounogeos]

Lictor Alpha in Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 2. I have always liked stealth based characters.

I would get that game, but I don't like that they only let you play the damned Space Marines outside of Skimrishes....

The Japanese stealth transport from RA3 loaded with engineers. All your base belong to us (literally).

It`s good to see the old school engineer rush is alive and well to the fustrations of thousands

Actually, in HWFX mod you can play the progenitors and literally SPAM the things. Ever seen 25 progenitor dreadnaughts shoop-da-woop an enemy mothership? I SURE HAVE.

 

[matnatz]

Conscripts in RA2.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Anything that is hard to kill and can cause a lot of damage to my enemies. Oh and the special units, aka heroes are awesome as well (Sauron in LotR: BFME 2)

 

[k3v1n]

Mecha-Tengus, Tesla Troopers and twin blades from C&C: Red Alert..they're just SO awesome. And zerglings from starcraft, PI just love those little buggers

 

[Rusty Bucket]

The MIG in C&C generals, if you get about 12 of them with black napalm, you can absolutely annihilate anything without having to leave the comfort of your home(base).

Black napalm? Screw that, nuclear MIG's are where it's at.

As for my favourite one, i'll go with the Cybran Megalith from Supreme Commander. Sure, it would take half the game to build, but it was so damn awesome.

Spoiler: The Awesome!

 

[Lukeydoodly]

The Scathis from Supreme Commander!
Mobile rapid fire artillery with zero accuracy ftw!

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Elite Chrono Troopers from RA2. Zipping across the map and making the enemy's harvesters disappear was always hilarious.

 

[Azhrarn-101]

Massed PeeWee's indeed couldn't kill much once the CORE player had a couple of Gate-guns up, although EMGs were lethal against almost anything. =)
That main armament was pure win, a swarm of Brawlers (the ARM assault jets with EMGs) weaving over the enemy base just shredding everything that moves. I loved those things. I miss TA, maybe I should reinstall. =)

Also the Vulcan (The Rapidfire Big Bertha), was completely awesome, if you had enough powerplants to keep the bloody thing fueled and firing. Nothing like pounding the opposing base into dust from the other side of the map without having to send any units over. =D

Need a light?

And zerglings are always fun.
