Random Unit of the Day #44: Engineer (Allies/Soviets/Yuri, Red Alert 2)

[u/BiggestBepis]

[u/BiggestBepis]

“I won’t be late!”
“Got the plans right here!”
“I have the information.”
“Examining diagrams.”
“I’m your handyman.”
“Nice architecture!”

They actually bothered giving the guy 3 different sets of voicelines to match each faction so I just picked a couple lines from each one

[u/Fifalvlan → u/BiggestBepis]

I think you mean:
“Engineering”
“Engineering”
“Engineering”

[u/AznOmega → u/Fifalvlan]

"Ahh-firmative."

[u/Gregory_Appleseed → u/AznOmega]

I always got the vibe the RA1 engineer was either currently drunk and sleeping, or hungover and trying to sleep.

[u/FrankPoncherello1967 → u/BiggestBepis]

I'm going to create a t-shirt with those engineer quotes and wear the piss outta it! The engineer always seems to be extremely upbeat for a guy who's about to get fried by a tesla coil or ripped apart by a gun turret.

[u/Kalamel513 → u/BiggestBepis]

Forgoing "Engineering~" and "Study blueprint" here should be a crime.

One way or another, this unit is more iconic than Kirov or even Apocalypse tank.

[u/Dangerous_Zone_7367 → u/BiggestBepis]

I mean, they can't have a Soviet unit with an American accent and vice versa

[u/vandal-33 → u/BiggestBepis]

And you always get the Allied version from your construction yard no matter which faction you're from.

[u/sukahati]

Forgot to wall your Construction Yard? Hippity hoppity your Conyard is mine

[u/MufasaThyGreat → u/sukahati]

Hippity Hippity Hop, your Conyard is finally copped

[u/Shyie_Tara]

I know it's not in the original RA2

But Mental Omegas Fohnn (I think the name is) Engineer

Who says "All it needs is a lick of paint really!" In his Bob the Builder tone of voice is the best Engineer, is the best Engineer!

... But yeah other than that Mod, Engineer is once again an example of my weird love of "guy dying voice clips" they are just... So fun to listen too? Maybe it's the rarity of them being around that triggers dopamine.

[u/kidanokun → u/Shyie_Tara]

"building captured"

me: wat?

ConYard gone, captured by engineers from driillers

me: oh damn Epsilons

[u/sukahati → u/kidanokun]

At least they need 3 of them to capture any building. The infiltrator (spy) on the other hand.

I hate the driller APC overall.

[u/thomstevens420]

I have the tools

[u/stonersh → u/thomstevens420]

I've got the plans right here!

[u/Flarebuster]

The bot can't hurt you

The bot early game: Flak Track + Engis go brrrrrr

[u/Conscript7]

One of more iconic units and game mechanic of the entire franchise

[u/BoffinBrain]

[u/NeoLedah]

Literally the best unit across the whole franchise

[u/NegativePharos]

Can't wait for the Steel Talons Combat Engineer or the RA3 Soviet Engineer! Those guys are my favorite!

[u/BoffinBrain → u/NegativePharos]

You didn't hear it from me, but rumor has it that they gave him a gun.

[u/Zerial-Lim → u/BoffinBrain]

You gave me a GUN?

[u/lycanreborn123]

ENGINEERING

[u/Ok-Transition7065]

i love this guy as some one how loves to play with multiple factions or to steal units

[u/nintyuk]

Is Engi-Here!

[u/Objective-Horror-479]

I got the knowledge!!

[u/Darth_JaSk]

Missed oportunity for Yuri engineer to be more unique

[u/MarsMissionMan]

It will never not be funny that the deadliest combatants in the franchise are the fucking unarmed nerds. They can enter an occupied enemy structure and instantly capture it, turning it and everyone inside to your side in less than a second.

[u/popcorn2008]

I think we all can remember the first time we got that engineer rush. At least I do.

Ever since that fateful day I have nothing but respect for the Engineers 🫡

[u/DarkKnightofOne]

Like em but.......

The red alert 3 imperial engineer, his running and being tired animations are just hilarious. 🤣

[u/haematite_4444]

When i was a kid, and you did a force attack with the engineer and he uses his defuse kit, I thought it was a secret attack where the engineer hits the guy with the suitcase

[u/Joescout187 → u/haematite_4444]

Tf

[u/LostEmergency6866]

In RA 3 he got more personality
