I'll be honest. One of the first things I did after downloading the beta was spam click the new units to hear the new unit quotes since Blizzard always has hilarious things for the units to say. Anyway I was planning on adding the new quotes to liquipedia and I wanted a complete list so as not to make it more difficult for anyone after to make sure the quotes were accurate. So I was hoping that some other beta players would be willing to check my list to make sure it is accurate and complete. Also I don't have any idea if old units that haven't been modified in hots have/will receive new quotes so if anyone knows of any please post them so I/you can add them to liquipedia and the op here.
Also this list (should) only include new quotes.
I'm going to go ahead and post this while it's half done and edit in the rest of the units so I can get feedback fight away.
Thanks in advance for helping!

I love the tempest quote of "Carrier? I hardly know her!"

No idea why, but out of all of them it made me laugh the most. I love Blizzard's unit quotes <3

I don't have the beta, but I think the tempest quote might be "kinetic" rather than "genetic", seeing as how its weapon is called "Kinetic Overload".

That's what I thought but in-game it really didn't sound like that. Makes sense though so I'll edit that and I'm going to add the rest of the new unit quotes soon and then add them to liquipedia.
EDIT: I watch enough movies or games to know any references so if anyone knows any please add them to this thread or add the quote and reference to liquipedia!
EDIT: I know the transformers reference at least.

You're not crazy but I'm not sure what it means. I'm sure there's someone that does though.

Also I added the battle-hellion quotes. If anyone could check them out and maybe add the references (I don't know how lol) that would be awesome.

EDIT: Added oracle quotes if anyone wants to check them and add references.

Tempest: "Always in motion is the future, difficult to see" Nice Yoda reference. I love all of the subtle allusions in Blizz's unit dialogue. Raven has some great ones.

Does the warhound still exist in the unit editor in such a way that the quotes could still be listened to? If so it would be great to have them as blizz did take the time to create the unit's animations/portrait and hire a voice actor to do its dialogue.

"Hell bat comin through" -> Very true :D At least whoever writes the dialogs has a sense of humour.

My personal favorite would be "Never strike twice... Unless it's still moving".

Selected/annoyed(not really sure of the difference)

?jigawatt?

"I have no mouth and I must scream"
Annoyed sounds are only played when you repeatedly clic on a unit without giving any order. It exists since Warcraft 2 and possibly before that, they are the most "silly" sounds, with plenty of jokes and references. The Selected/Move/Attack sounds are supposed to be serious, although less so in Starcraft 2 than in previous Blizzard RTS.

Given the context, it must be "gigawatt", which is an amount of electric power.

"I have no mouth and I must scream" is a reference to an horrific sci-fi novel written by Harlan Ellison. It naturally plays on the fact that the Protoss have no mouth.

Correct. Raszagal, now deceased, was Zeratul's superior and the leader of the Dark Templar during Brood War.

I don't have the beta, but I would assume it really is "jiggawatt", as a reference to Doc Brown in Back to the Future.

"The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as... the twice as... half... divided by half.... ugh"

blade runner quote. The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy.


"I just want to watch the world burn"

(Batman) the dark knight quote: Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

"We aint' got no water, just let the mother****er burn"


"The Roof Is on Fire" is a single from Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three released in 1984 that reached number five on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart. It is remembered for its chorus:

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!
We don't need no water—Let the motherfucker burn!
Burn, motherfucker, burn!

(shameless quote from wikipedia)

More commonly known from the song "Fire Water Burn" by "The bloodhound gang" which uses the same chorus.


Protoss


"Goodness gracious great balls of lightning!"

possibly a reference to Jerry Lee Lewis's song "Great balls of fire"

"It's not the voltage that kills... It's that big explosion afterwards."

Reference to the popular say "it's not the volts that kill you it's the amps".


"I have no mouth and I must scream"

I wouldn't have know that one :/


*Hull integrity failing!

most likely a star trek quote.


"We are the architects of fate"

possibly a reference to the "Moirai" better known as "the fates" from greek mythology who spun fate.

"No you cannot see my software"

hihi, show me yours I'll show you mine.


"Let us peer into possible futures"

damn it, i'm sure i know this one. just can't remember


"Always in motion is the future, difficult to see"

yo yoda.


"I see someone important to you is in danger. There name begins with a "g". No? maybe a "b"?"

yes, pretty good fortune-teller.

"Spartan must not go to war during Carnia. oops a little late on that one."

Carnia was a festival in ancient Sparta during which they were not allowed to go to war. This caused the Spartans to not participate in the battle of Marathon. (Which allowed the greeks to repel a persian invasion.)

"No man should know too much about their destiny. It's perfectly okay for women though"

Back to the futur II from doc Brown: Please Marty. No one should know too much about their destiny.


"Time is on my side! Yes it is."

Rolling stones' song: "Time is on my side"

"You want to go to war? I don't think you have the minerals."

and not enough pylons!
