The blue post mentions that the clue is the pacing of the campaign on a cold world (and that this unit had some relation to that), so for now there's no evidence that it will enter multiplayer. Except that the OP says it's planned as a multiplayer unit? -.- Unless that was somehow wrong. | ||

Could be cool if the attack was some kind of bio hazard, that deals + dmg vs bio. I do think that if they need a new unit it should be mech, but then if they're replacing this with the marauder or the reaper. Might be a weird way to make room for a melee unit in the terran arsenal for once? The wheels are really weird though. Mb it drives at great speed towards it's enemies, then transforms into melee cyborg thingy. IDNO THIS R REAL WEIRD? | ||

It will be able to attack on the move as well as heal itself on the move. You will be able to upgrade stim, combat shield & conc shell for it. Since terran is always starved for gas we've decided it would be best to make this a mineral only unit. It will cost 100 minerals." haha "we stuck between Carrier and Giving Terran a new unit, and we decided to with giving terran a new unit. We feel that a race like Terran which can utilize mech units had very few Transformers unit, so we are giving one to see how it goes" + Show Spoiler + I know other races will get new units too, it's a joke, I am %100 certain someone will say "Other races will get new units" if I dont put this msg here | ||

My best guess is that it's basically a goliath/firebat hybrid, a robot walker with a flamethrower, that transforms from the hellion, turning it into more of a direct confrontation unit(since hellions aren't as expendable as vultures were). It would help mech deal with chargelots and MMM a bit more easily, and act as a proper buffer unit, much like goliaths were. | ||

As far as the unit goes i think it is a Helion "transformer" unit, but i think the "shields" in front will have a purpose more oriented towards offense. Maybe they shoot fire as well. | ||
