Subject:
[A new Red Alert]
Description:
[Make the next C&C a new Red Alert. The new faction is going to be the "Grey Invasion", a martian alien race. Have them invade earth and force the Allies and Soviets to co-operate, which, of course, won't work so well. Maybe the Rising Sun joins the fun, too. The Invasion could have all kinds of whacky units: shrink rays, growth rays, flying saucers, terrain modifiers, a tech replicator (copies enemy tech, but modifies it), land krakens (maybe they borrowed them from Yuri?), etc. They could have lines like "This is worse than Dagobah!," "Nerf-herders!," or "Resistance is futile," referencing Sci-Fi movies and shows. Also bring back special units that you earn by conquering an enemy tech lab.]
Positive Effect:
[I think the Red Alert series is still fresh, while Tiberium has, let's face it, kinda been done to death. The same is true for Generals, but Red Alert was always a favorite because of the humor (well, since RA2, I guess). You could do so much funny stuff with the aliens and the would fit the alternative 50s/60s feel of RA perfectly.]
Negative Effect:
[If you went with aliens, people could accuse you of copying from your own work (the Scrin from the Tiberium series). And maybe you'd fall from favor with the Generals crowd (but, let's be honest, you can't please everyone). Also, I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing to bring back the Rising Sun; 4 factions could be considered exessive. Not by me, though.]
Media:
This is what a "grey" look like (a classic martian "conspiracy" alien).

Not a bad idea. But do not you think that Yuri is the best alien
? I think that is enough to back the Soviets, Allies and Yuri Army.

It would be more fun to use something new instead of yuri again. So I would tend to aliens too.
My Idea was to implement som funny evil germans, (because I am one xD) because...it would fit very well .

nononononon, not now anyways.
My quote:
'Meh, I don't really care anymore about the new games direction, with many loads of hours(make that years actually) on Tib Sun, YR, Generals, CnC3, and RA3, plus all the mods they come with, another game with the same old formula is rather redundant IMO. '

Tiberium series should be the only universe that has aliens
The rest can have as much random junk as they want

I rather see Yuri or his minions return, aliens should stick in Tiberium universe.

I really don't see aliens fitting in with the RA universe. Yuri coming back might work since RA is now on a new timeline.
On a side note, I'd like to know how the Generals universe has been overdone? There's been 1 game and 1 expansion in the Generals universe so far, while there have been 3 games and 4 expansions in the RA universe. Honestly its pretty close to the 4 (yes I'm counting "cnc" 4, if it gets retconned out, then I can stop counting it...) games and 3(?) expansions in the Tiberium Universe.
