For me I think Siege tanks may take the hat... either that or "siege" cannons from ns... nothing beats the sound of thunder as siege cannons lay waste to an alien base in ns

other notable kickass RTS units/structres

Goliath (SC)
Dark Templar (SC)
Sarah Karagen (SC)
Jim Raynor (SC)
Mounted Black Nights (death dudes in Warcraft II)

but of all RTS Units... I think Tanya from the Red Alert series may take the hat... nothing beats wasting entire soviet armies with that one freaking dual pistol wielding bithin' ass character. (and blowing up entire bases with her c4 ability) most of this is RA 1 but some RA 2 ownage
 
Edit:\ I officially need to read posts better before I reply. I will have to think about the REAL question, and answer later.

My Real Answer: The dragons you get from roosts in WC3 because once me and a friend were playing some other guys online, we just bought a whole bunch of these dragons and went to town.
 
Siege Tanks from Starcraft

Catapults from Age of Empires
 
I'd have to say the Raptors or King Raptors from Generals. I just love air units, what can I say? ;) Also the Fuel Bomb or MoAB from Generals and the A-10s rock. The Stealth Jets(F-117s) with the bunker busters are nice for clearing out the garrisoned buildings and Auroras are also nice for destroying buildings.

I never really liked WC3 but I'd be willing to give it another chance but my brother let his friend borrow it and I haven't seen it in forever.

Just for noting that many SC units... I love you.
lol, but seriously, SC is the best RTS EVER! Battlecruisers own all.
 
Seige tanks in StarCraft have always been my favorite. :) But you had to couple them with something that could take on air opponents. If they were stationary a lot of turrets or marine bunkers would do.
 
SC rocks but too bad it doesn't on 2k. :frown: Crashes all the time.

I'd have to say the prism tanks on RA 2
I love it when you go distroy EVERYTHING with like 10 units. :E

I'd have to agree, Siege Tanks are awesome.

However, massing wraiths/scouts always gave me a tingley feeling.. lol

hell yeah ... and the inside levels... she is so cool
 
I thought the Arbiters were pretty awesome.
Zeratul and Tassader and Fenix were kick-ass.
 
One thing I like to do is play SC alone on Big Game Hunters in the corner with terrain in melee mode with 7 computer players. I just barricade myself in, defend like a mad-man and try to build a fleet of Battlecruisers. I did it once. :) Took lot's of saving and reloading. :-/ lol. I guess I do that becouse i suck at multiplayer.

mee toooo :dozey: :devil:
 
Either the Krogoth (sp?) from TA:CC or the commando from the original C&C.
 
Yeah, right, the Overlord tank :D

...also, Black Lotus... :p**
 
Camoflouged Terrorist Car Bomb when playing as the GLA in C & C: Generals
 
Mamoth Tank from C&C!!!! C&C was best rts ever :p
 
Bah, the obscure Quake II mod QWAR2 was one of the best RTSs ever. Gotta love the old Gladiators with their Railguns, and Tank Commanders with their intense rocketeering action!

But I do love Protoss Carriers from Starcraft. Mean little buggers - I made my older brother throw a right wobbly after I mullered his whole Terran base with three Carriers - and his base was practically indestructable by foot. :p

i agree. plus i love your avatar, FALLOUT rules!!

plus i also love the humvee from C+C gens. its so damn durable!!! here are the things about it...

>it is fast
>it can have a rocket drone, stealth detection drone or machine gun drone
>it can store 5 infantry who can fire out of it
>it can be upgraded to have a missile
>it has a machine gun
>it can run over infantry.

So what you do is you build 5 humvees, upgrade them fully and buy them drones. you then buy 25 rocket men (4 each humvee) and 5 snipers (1 each humvee). each nunit can fire out the side, and snipers can kill infantry in one hit. then you add 2 ambulances to the unit to heal them all, and let them loose.

all buildings, tanks and aircraft get OWNED by 25 rockets flying tawards them before they can even fire, and any infantry gets shot before they are even in the humvees line of sight. PLUS the humvees can out-run ANY tank. their worst enemy is demolition (suicide) units though... one demo bike and its all over... but then again you can say that for most tanks.

but come on... 4 rocket men, 1 sniper, 1 mounted machine gun, 1 rocket drone and 1 mounted rocket launcher in one fast, agile humvee OWNS. then multiply it by a unit of 5.

and then if you do the same with the air general's attack comanche that can block all rockets.... :O
