[timerover51]

Vuldacon, that is Fantastic!!!

Now, if I can find my image of the Russian Dog Mine, could you do something similar?

 

[Jord Kells]

Kinda looks a bit like Nyan cat.

This actually was attempted in WWII, as well as Bat bombs, Anti-tank dog mines (as timerover51 mentioned), and pigeon guided missiles.

The original Catyusha.

 

[Lionic]

Now THAT is cruel! I hope you'll make an animation where kitten sets up the bomb and escapes

timerover51... The Dogs were like this:

Would have to see about some props.

Yes, it was sad for the Dogs but they helped their Human Owners against Tanks.

Unfortunately for the Rocket Cat, Like the Dog Mine, there could be no escape for those animals when they performed their tasks.

Of course there was not really a Rocket Cat but the Dog Mines were real. In reality, I believe Cats were taken from the Enemy and used to carry packs of Gun Powder with a lit fuse back to their Enemy home areas where the charge would cause a Fire and or explode.

...Although Strange as it is, the Rocket Cat is more a Mythological Unit that represents animals being used against the Enemy.

...same principal as tossing a Hornet Nest on the Enemy in the days of old. "Anything goes" in War.

@Vuldacon: this is the perfect answer to a silly but funny request that was posted for april's fool: an awesome unit, perfectly modeled and animated

 

[CorvusFortis]

Nice work!

Those who do not want to hurt kitty can use the unit as a scout as well x)

Hmm, on that subject, some of the pirates operating near Rhodes in the 3rd and 2nd Century BC developed the technique of using a small ballista to toss pottery jars full of poisonous snakes into an opposing galley's oarsmen, thoroughly disrupting the oarstroke and making it easier to either escape or successfully ram the now very distracted galley.

Indeed! Both very well-done, and very different than the standard unit. I may have to have some Rocket-Boosted Scout Cats in my next game.

 

[Dumanios]

I thought the title said Rocket Cart at first.

Imagine my surprise to see a cat propelled by a rocket.

 

[Gojira54]

Some kitteh set us up the bomb.
All your box are belong to us.

I know not how I would use such a unit, but it, like the pimp, must be used some meow.

Awesome work!

... You didn't ...

For anyone who missed it, the "request" thread was here.

There actually quite few weird units around - Deku Scrub, Kool-Aid Man, ... I wonder now if Vuldacon has something in mind for the Spunky Kid upgrade in EFZI: The Musical - shoulder-launched rocket cats?

 

[Cimbri]

This is awesome. Thank you!

 

[Wolfshade]

Bwahaha! Master Vuldacon!
