    "Need a jump?" "Positively" "2000 Volts coming up!" "Here's your electric bill!"

    I love how the origins of the stingray wasnt a weapons projects or stuff like that, it was one dude who wanted to cook fish really quickly. One thing about the tesla troopers that wasnt mentioned that they are immune to attack dog and war bear attacks. The Shogun executioner, the gigantic mech, somehow healed itself with Tesla energy

    You forgot to mention that in RA2/YR, if you can manage to put a Soviet Tesla Trooper into an Allied IFV, it turns into an impromptu tesla tank. Yuri also utilised this combination in the final Soviet mission against his Transylvanian fortress base.

    Considering how Tesla was ahead of his time, it's a little surprising how Kane/Nod didn't try and improve the basic technology. It's also a bit surprising the Soviets never made a Tesla battleship.

    You forgot how the Empire's Shogun Executioner could heal itself via Tesla Coil blasts.
  • @RainingMetal
    Two Tesla Tanks appear during the final Imperial mission, after Zelinsky blows up the entire city as part of his last-ditch defense of the FutureTech headquarters. It's also worth mentioning that the Tesla Tanks in Red Alert 3 gain experience far faster than the usual unit, only requiring a few kills to reach Heroic rank.
  • "Comrade general, we must get closer to the tower. If we secure a good charge." - Tesla Trooper.
  • Rubber Shoes in motion. No charge for extra power. Also anyone want to see Jethild cover Mental Omega's units?

    Thank you for helping keep the C&C community alive Jethild! Amazing video as always!!!

    "Commander Nikolai Moskvin liked this video... but the mention of his defeat, not so much (😄)." Tesla tech is one of the main reasons I love C&C franchise til this day: it's so iconic, energetic, flashy and "BZZZZZ!" 😬⚡⚡⚡😃

    The "rebreather" reference made me smile in 40K
  • I grew up on c&c red alert 2. I just saw the complete collection on steam and immediately bought it. Have been living the best kind of nostalgia ever all day!
  • @Kkey884
    I never get tired of your videos. NEVER. I just miss this universe!
