So does anyone have any thoughts on this unit, how they would like to see it work - what it should do? And do you think we will actually see it in Heart of the Swarm. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/LVlNS.png) The animation starts showing a bunker, it then unfolds/explodes/transforms into a Zerg like unit giving the affect of an infested bunker with marine parts hanging off of it. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/JzVnK.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/eP6IN.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/VpvHU.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/VLOE9.png) Update: So far people think it's some sort of burrowing unit that comes up under the bunker to destroy it and then uses it as armor. | ||

I don't know about this one haha, it doesn't even really look like a Zerg unit. I hope if it's in the game at all it's only in SP, Imagine that with Hydras and Lings and Roaches, it just wouldn't fit in. | ||

In all seriousness this seems to be a single-player unit but we never know, HotS might be a surprising addon | ||

 Also, I hate the color scheme of that thing! It's bad enough that all the Zerg units have gone from purplish-brown to dirt-brown from BW->SC2... and in HotS they're going to get yellow units? All the Zerg units should be Roach colored from now on I think. Shiny black suits them a lot better than poop. | ||

its just a personal preference, i will always like more lurker to counter bio ball rather than baneling, and infestor only has fungal growth, to me its a boring unit. But yeah, new content is always fun! | ||

i conclude it to be the latter, and that its purpose is to mimic the terran siege tank but with a zerg flavor somehow. perhaps as a bunker its armored shell allows it to withstand more damage and hold a position on the map better or something, while 'unbunkered' it has mobility... i doubt blizzard would be so stupid as to make it just like the siege tank but that's really what it looks inspired from imo. | ||

When shown @ Blizzcon Starcraft Art Panel, clearly there was a huge moment of EPIC SILENCE, no emotion at all, not a single word, so Im pretty sure Blizzard will take that as a BIG no-no and hopefully we wont see any infested bunker on SC2. A totally different reaction was taken when shown that FruitDealer FanArt, ppl really liked it. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Jc9Ez.jpg) Bananalisk, AppleLord, Grapeling.  | ||

This could become a spell that is cast on any defensive structure, such as bunker, missile turret, cannon, spine crawler or spore crawler that destroys the enemy structure and turns it into a fighting unit for 20 seconds or something. Or perhaps it could be an ability on the infestor that sacrifices the infestor to destroy the structure and give you this new fighting unit permanently similar to the banshee's possession ability in warcraft 3. | ||

ok in know its german but its quite a famous magazine it generaly says that it isnt a bunkerbuster, its a unit that can look like a bunker if burrowed. it might work like a formling who knows so in general it might work as mobile tower or as a mix of a spine/sporecrawler that can burrow anywhere and shote unborrowed | ||

If the bunker gets to use marines placed in that bunker, what happens if the bunker has two marauders? Does it become OP? This seems like quite a novel idea. Don't know how to balance this, but great innovative idea nonetheless. Blizzard needs to look at innovation first, then balance second (although be prepared to scrap that innovative unit if need be but try to balance it as much as possible w/o changing everything). | ||

I mean they reused the Ultralisk model for the Omegalisk and things like that, when it seems to me like they could used unique models. | ||

Banelings don't. On a side note, the infested bunker is WAY worse than the Mothership. | ||

Cloak isn't equivalent to burrow because you can't really attack aside from explode (which you lose your unit) and only two units can move. We need the banelings to become invisible and kill everything while remaining alive so it can kill everything, again. Yes. | ||

The lurker was a unit that dominated terrain and that's what made it so awesome. Zerg has no units that shut down terrain like the siege tank, collosus, or forcefield. So yeah it's nice that zerg can get map control because we can have time to drone or make units depending on the situation.... but it used to be that we had a unit that could punish the other races for NOT having map control (the lurker) and zerg could use the unit to contain toss and terran. It hurts not having that. Zerg cant really contain in SCII and it's kinda a letdown. | ||

I don't see the dev creating a unit that big that would counter bunker rush (since it's silly, bunker is too low tech tree, this unit is at least t2, and that's what you want from an add-on units). And a unit that would "eat" a bunker is silly (cause you need a terran opponent who actually make bunker?? useless unit in my opinion). After seeing the video, my post is wrong... this thing actually took over the bunker. Dunno if it's a good idea, but it's a very PIMP UNIT! | ||

So far things are going ok but Zerg really needs some BADASS unit. And especially sound-wise Zerg needs to become scary again. Remember the queen and defiler? Nasty sounds did those creatures make. I still remember my first campaign missions with zerg in SC1, i felt so... powerful (while the zerg campaign was damn hard!). Anyway, this creature looks quite cool: Especially with the venom-filled tail. | ||

Let's just hope that Dustin Browder doesn't go overboard with the crazy stuff he designed when he did C&C: Red Alert 2 and C&C: Generals. Last we need are attacking dolphins and enineering bays that come to life or whatever, that stuff doesn't belong in the Starcraft universe.

Last we need are attacking dolphins and enineering bays that come to life or whatever, that stuff doesn't belong in the Starcraft universe. Had to say something... C&C generals got Dustan Brouder the job with blizzard... one of the best rts games ever made hands down. I'm sure I’ll get flamed to death for saying that but I'm sure some people will know what I'm talking about. I'd personally be happy if Dustan infused some generals mechanics into the game (Nydus Network=GLA tunnel network?). every unit in that game had personality and truly had feel and infinite micro ability's that transcended its role within the tech tree... the gla scrap mechanic parried with techie/ rpg micro and per-charging your Gatling tanks to get the highest DPS out of them. I could go on all day... obviously it had set backs but the game had micro that rivaled any rts I’ve ever played. I just think too many sc fan boys can't see past their own nose to see other games had great ideas... they just don’t have the backing of blizzard. I’m thankful for blizzard and hope they make a great expansion. | ||

It was most likely created as a for-fun mini-project just for shits and giggles, in the same vein as the Terran Terratron. It might be cool to see it in single-player, but it definitely is not multiplayer material. Sure it is, 100 energy spell a queen has to stop bunker rushes? If the infested bunker has a slow movement rate, if the marines/marauders inside can exit before the morph takes place, and it can be killed before it morphs by enough units, then I think it would be an awesome and balanced ability. The queen isn't too fast off creep, it requires the Terran to build the structure, and it is a 100 energy cost on a unit that uses its energy regularly for inject. I would even build a bunker to waste the queens energy and slow down the inject process. | ||

If actually an mp unit (which I doubt) I can't see much joy in it being a dedicated one (vs an ability), force bunker rush doggies, then salvage bunkers? And you know marauders'll counter em! I kid, but still. And the style just.. doesn't work for me, but then again it's only a concept. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Z5FYl.gif) I highly doubt it'll be in the multiplayer though... I can't think of a way that can be fair for the Terrans. As you can see, four marine rifles are used for the weapon and the marine body for a foot (Also think of the DPS and armor of that thing..) It would be funny though if the creature changes depending on the people inside the bunker... what if there were four SCVs instead of it? | ||
