- Fastest ground unit in the game - One of the few units with an AoE attack - Light-armored, only Reaper/Hellion have a bonus against - Bonus vs. Light, ie. all workers, Marines, Zerglings, Zealots... - Can be built in the early game - Can be built off Reactors - Costs 100 minerals - Excellent map control unit If the Hellion can freakin' transform, assuming it loses its mobility, what the hell does this thing do? | ||

This just makes me think of that image hence I think it will be a marauderesque upgrade or unit. You may have been thinking of the april fool's "Tauren Marine" concept art? I think it had a murloc on it. | ||

It represents everything that is anti terran. Just listen to any Artosis rant on marauders and you will see the light. | ||

I don't play terran, I don't play toss, I've never heard an artosis rant on them, and even I hate what marauders do to the game. They just don't fit in the terran race in my opinion. Don't ask me what I'd do, though. I just don't know. | ||

I dont think the marauder is the problem as much as conc shell is. It counters the counter to marauders. I would gladly take this over marauder | ||

It would increase micro required in the game and it'd be a good space-controlling mechanic, which is one of the core mechanics of terran. You mean a Banshee-SeigeTank-Hellion? Sorted. | ||
