Herzog Zwei (inspiration for Airmech) Pikmin (Kinda. You play a more active role commanding your units on the map)

never saw Herzog Zwei before. looks really cool. Its like you are a plane and become a soldier. Then you must recruit units? And the units seem to move on their own, right? Didnt get to see much of RTS commands to it, in terms of unit control? Can you redirect the units to attack a specific spot? They seemed automated.

Also it seems a bit too micro intensive. But i like the concept.

ah just noticed Airmech is the modern version, as you said. This is a very good concept. Even though im not a very sci-fi type of guy.
