If the Hellbat is biological because of the guy inside, why isn't the Helion also biological?
If Blizzard wants to keep it biological for balance purposes, they should update the art so that it looks like a biological unit.
You don't really understand how this works, do you. The guy inside an armoured suit is moving the suit himself in the same way the marauder is. His legs move the legs, his arms move the arms. He doesn't have 6 foot of steel between him and the bullet that's trying to blow his head off. He has 3 inches. Generally if you get hit you take damage! Not just the suit. YOU.
In a car, you can shoot its wheels, shoot its bodywork, shoot its drive chain. In fact you can shoot just about anything and hit something. You can destroy a car without ever touching its occupant. The same is not said for body armour or power armour.
You may as well be complaining about how firebats and marauders are biological.

Yeah but how does a whole car transform into a tight suit and if the transformation does abandon a lot of parts how does the hellbat transform back? If the hellion is already a tight suit and the driver is lying while driving it, then it should be biological too right?

tbh the Hellbat is almost the same as the firebat and it's kinda lazy of blizzard to just rename units and modify them a tiny bit just to say: Hey guys we are so creative and created a whole new unit that is obviously no renamed firebat!

The SCV always was biological and mechanical...so not big deal.

That was awesome!

I don't understand why you are all bothered by this now while teh SCV is both mechanical and biological since the creation of the game

Admittedly now they removed the medivac buff, I think it might be better to buff mech against toss by removing the biological tag again since archons are pretty good against mech.

The idea is that the Hellbat is a guy in a mechanical suit, just like the Marauder is a guy in a mechanical suit. Makes sense to me.
But then it doesn't make sense that Hellion isn't biological, too. It's a guy in a mechanical suit with wheels.
because its not a mechanical suit with wheels its a car and cars are mechanical

The same reason that SCVs are mechanical and biological.

The same reason some AoE has friendly fire (tanks, Storms, etc) while others don't (Colo, Fungals, etc).
