My best guess is that it's a Goliath-esque replacement for the Thor; smaller, cheaper, and more effective AA.

Besides that, your guess is as good as mine.

Why do we even need more Terran units. Terran is by far the most complete and diverse race.

Looks like a hellion in Walker form. I swear to god, if they give Terran a bio unit with splash damage that morphs into the fastest thing on the ground and gets healed by medevacs, I will loose my mind.

LOLOL
Best guess imo.. Blizzard is going along to differentiate each race with their own theme as much as possible. They already have Vikings that transforms, and back in early alpha/demo, Thor transforms into fortress Maximus. This is consistent with the theme... Hellion that transforms


can u elaborate? the thor could transform? o.o

And a melee attack ofc.

I'm all for a replacement Mech unit, as long as it's not a biped and looks like a stupid cartoon.

i'm calling it right now. It's similar to a firebat but it freezes instead of burning! hence the (chill) hint by blizzard. I am right. you are wrong. nanannanana hehehahahaha

I actually think its pretty cool. Mech as a whole felt like it had some holes that needed to be filled.

You guys are being to pessimistic.

I think the plan is to perhaps remove some units from Terran and add new ones.

On that point, this could be the ;replacement for the marauder.

We'll probably see what this unit is during the upcoming Blizzon event.

This would be funny if this new unit was intended to replace an older unit, thus nerfing Terran...

all though your post is satire, I think it's actually possible to see firebats return with an upgrade to become hellions. I know dustin browder loves firebats, it just might be possible to see them return and POSSIBLY defiliers with dark swarm???

I'll actually be ok with that. I really hate the marauder.

looks like Egon stetman from the campaign (medic)

so my guess is that its a bio support caster unit kinda like the sentry.

i'm not happy about this

Edit: however if its a mech unit im interested.

In spite of the recent balance outcries by the outspoken Terran communities, we have decided that the best course of action to balance everything out is to add a new terran unit that can be called down like mules, act as an upgraded Hellion with 5 armor, and has the ability to transform into goliath for free at Barracks tech. This will be also available when the orbital command center upgrade has been completed. And because we know that LAN capabilities would be abused by Zergs trying to baneling bust people, we are still not going to give you lan.
