I think you might be on to something here. If I'm not mistaken, Terran is the only race lacking an area-of-effect crowd control spell (Protoss have Forcefields, and Zergs have Fungal)


It's a mech unit that is transformed from a hellion! This unit sprays stuff that temporarily freezes units in an AOE. It doesn't have an attack, but once it sprays its stuff it can transform back to hellion. Pretty badass imo. And it really compliments hellions since this thing can freeze a pile of workers and then transform into a hellion.

so something like this? Perhaps bulkier like a marauder.

If this was a unit that had the ability to freeze stuff like stasis then terrans would be a bit silly...

1. Freeze enemy army
2. Move tanks in range and siege up.
3. Wait for unfreeze

If you look at the picture a little more clearly, it looks very mech-ish. I don't think it's bio.

it definitely looks more mech, but it's not out of the possibility range

I agree, seems like a hellion which transforms to walker mode. Actually kind of makes me think of an attempt at a goliath. Due to the fact that it should cost some sort of mineral/gas investment to research, and because it doesn't have wheels in this mode, thus it loses speed, it should receive some sort of a benefit... so perhaps anti-air capabilities? a fire spell?

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


New expansion = new units. It would suck if one race doesn't get new units.

does PDD count? pretty much all zerg ranged units have projectile attacks that get blocked by PDD, and vs toss terran have ghosts. Terran isn't lacking in effective spells, even if some are underused.

Probably a combination of a Marauder/Thor with 18 range that can shoot ground and air. Quite likely it has the ability to drop MULEs and detect.

Tier 1.

Those shields make me think it's a unit for tanking damage. Maybe it moves fast (possible a hellion upgrade) on the wheels, then transforms and can move slow on legs. You can then make it lock down to tank eg banelings.

I agree. I think there's at least a conceptual space (though probably not a need) for a lower-tier Terran caster and freezing units would be a really interesting mechanic. It also fits into the Transforming Hellion Hypothesis (THH)--the flame unit transforms into a freeze unit!

The idea of a melee mech unit seems quite possible to me too, though that gun-looking thing on its head sure looks like it's there for a reason...

Finally, keep in mind that with Blizzard being as hard-counter happy as it is in SC2, whatever unpredictable misery this new Terran unit can unleash will most likely be mitigated to an extent by either current or new Protoss/Zerg units.

Transformers is the first thing to pop in my head.

Mech/bio mid tier hybrid unit?
