This might seem stupid to ask but...

Is it actually possible to copy a unit from Tiberian Dawn, or Red Alert 1 to Ra2 or Yuri's revenge? Or, would you have to create a unit and just give it the same characteristics?

 

I have tied copying the rules.ini to a copy of guardian GI, but there just isn't enough to fill everything in...

 

Should I just Give up and not hurt myself?

It's very possible. Most of the vehicular units from TD, RA1 and to an extent, TS still exist in the local.mix archive. However, they're undetailed, the unit is 100% remap color, they're too small and they just look like ****. All you need to do is create entries for them using the proper identifier.

 

SHP units are a different story. You'd have to convert them out to single PCX files, apply the unittem palette and recompile them into SHP (TS) format. However, the unit will be tiny and undetailed, you'd need to create an art sequence based on the new art.

 

Overall, huge pain in the ass but possible.
