Throwback Thursday Throwback Thursday for 2nd June

[Sonic 296]

 

Throwback Thursday this week is going back to look at something that was very unique to Yuri's army in Yuri's Revenge, the expansion for Red Alert 2 that released in 2001. And its the Floating Disc. Yuri had a flair for the dramatic, and also a clear appreciation for nostalgia and old movies. When Yuri decided to develop an economy attacking unit, he decided to base it's design off of the flying saucers from old Sci-Fi movies. The end result was the Floating Disc. Equipped with hover technology that allows it to move about the battlefield. The Floating Disc has a laser actuator located that fired from around the outer edge of the disc. It could also drain power or credits from enemy bases using the Drain Beam located in the centre sphere.

That moment when you hear "Disc in flight" and shortly after find your base drained of power.
