You can enchance the image... Those are clearly wheels and a flamethrower with the igniter, with two huge shields.

If you compare it to the hellion, you can see that the wheels are exactly the same (front wheels being on the feet):

Ugh i'm afraid people are right. He CLEARLY has a flame thrower on top (ignitor) and wheels on his feet and possibly shoulders to match. He also has 2 shields. This brings into play units like hellion, firebat and medic (sc2 medic having 2 shields like this guy).

One possibility, probably mentioned in this thread, is it could be a replacement for the reaper AND hellion. A fast moving infantry unit with hellion type dmg. That would free up terran for a completely new unit for a new role if 2 others are merged into one.

A mobile infantry unit which can't jump but is super fast and does fire dmg in a line.

I will be pissed if it is a transforming hellion.

but really, why not give Terran a melee unit? something with like, chainsaws for hands, give Terran players a reason to actually engage, and not retreat-while-firing as is their MO at the moment


Seriously.

On the enhanced image, I think can see the helmet of a person in the body of this "robot"

Some kind of enhanced Reaper?

It most definitely is the transformed form of a hellion. All of the parts are there. Before anyone cries "imba!", just remember we have no idea what this means for balance because we have no idea what this walker-hellion does and we have no idea what new units the other races will have to counteract this.

These three units, as well as the rest of the new Heart of the Swarm multiplayer units and abilities, will be unveiled and playable at the show on October 21 and 22.


MP will be playable at blizzcon.


Interesting, there are going to be additional units and abilities, and they'll be playable, maybe the beta isn't too far off, and this also puts my fears to rest of having few new units for each race.

Just like in Wings of Liberty... Blizzard starts with Terran first, giving them all their ideas, even in an expansion that is supposedly HoTS... sigh its over guys.. Zerg is fucked for life.

Looks like an archon with the ingredients being hellion and marine. This will make it armored bio. AKA a firebat.

Why would you use it over hellions? Stats or when the base unit becomes a hindrance.
