I have started to work again on my Starcraft parody called "Ratscraft" where a player lead a clan of rats that fight for the control an empty house.
Now I want to have a solid list of combat units that I will keep for the rest of the design. Since I am running out of ideas, I am making an online brainstorming to see if there is a few ideas that I could have missed. Since the theme is pretty unique, doing some "Google image" could not help at all to find some reference material.
There are 3 types of clans: Lab Rats, Wild rats, and Sewer rats. The idea is to have various ground and flying units with different attack capabilities. Take note that IT DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE SENSE. So you can just throw out your weirdest ideas and it might get accepted. Funny ideas like word games and reference to other stuff are also welcomed.
To give you an idea, here is a rough list of unit types I had so far.
Lab Rats: Technology, Machines, etc
Firerat
Teslarat (Coil Rat)
Ratatank (BattleTank)
Ratdozer
Copterat
BattleZeplin
Cyber Rat
Cloaked Rat
Ratbot
Wild Rats: Nature, Fantasy, etc.
Dire Rat
War Squirrels
Battle Spiders
Attack Seagulls
Scout Gliders
Nutshell Catapult
?Balista?
Rangerat (Archer rat)
Shaman

Sewer Rats: Ugly, Dirty, mutated, etc

Any other ideas comes to your mind?
If you have weaponry or equipment ideas for the rat listed above, you can send them too.
Thank you for your brainstorming effort.

Beware of the Ratling Gun.
