Just remember we're talking about a dropship flying high about the ground firing a green laser at a man in armour on the ground, and restoring him consistently to full health no matter how much damage he takes. It is a tad weird, but if it works out well for gameplay its all good. Sorry, i don't buy this argument. By that premise, the entire game is totally out there. The reality, though, is that the game creators are still trying to create a plausible game universe where the design and backstory of each unit fits the stat game underlying it all. If little details like this don't matter then we may as well all be playing dice or the stock market for that matter. I thought this was satire, but this decision makes me think this be the truth: | ||

Both got a driver inside and both having heavy armor. No it doesn´t.Marauder is a soldier with a big fat armored suit and Hellion is a vehicle.Why not make every Unit that has a driver in it biological?Even Protoss ones.-_- | ||

Where's the complaint? Why's it "lol hellions are firebats"? What's funny? People bitch and moan about everything in SC2 that isn't like BW, and when something becomes more like BW they bitch and moan about it. Coz it's a stupid nerf. Why would I want to build Medivacs when I'm meching? And now you can't repair battle hellions either. | ||

However, if you're in a mech suit (like marines and marauders and firebats are), the suit is directly dependent on your physical state (ie if you're arm is broken, you won't be able to move the arm of your suit). Also, the suit is has to be more directly tied into your body and especially your nervous system, so what I'm guessing is that during the transformation, the hellion sort of plugs in and integrates to the driver's body, therefore necessitating the driver be in good physical health. It's a stretch, for sure. I'm still trying to reconcile all of that with how starcraft should be in my head. | ||

From what I understood from what the devs have said, BHs were introduced so that T mech could deal with chargelots. Firebats won't fit in a mech comp since they won't benefit from vehicle upgrades. | ||

Does it make sense that Mutalisk fly by flapping it's wings in space? If it helps, one could say that the Battle Hellion exposes more of it's driver in that form, and that way it's biological attribute is justified. But who cares as long as it's fun and good for gameplay? | ||
