All you "duuurrr new terran units? they don't need those duurrr they have plenty already!" people need to seriously get a reality check.

they're giving all the races new units.. how does that not make sense to people? It's an expansion - they want people to get excited for new stuff so that they'll buy it. Blizzard are first and foremost in the business of making money, after all.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing this stuff in action at blizzcon.

Hey lookie! A new unit from an *expansion pack*! What the fuck is blizzard doing *expanding* the unit count for every race?

Personally, I don't think its a hellion flamethrower on the top because the back is a tad too rounded. Looks more like a mechanic. Wheeled mode to get from place to place, walking mode to heal mech units. Or maybe stationary, like a shield battery/moon well? :O

Whatever, excited to see what it really is :D

I can't believe people are complaining about terran getting another unit. Are you honestly that stupid?

Did you really think Blizzard would release an expansion and offer new units to only two of the three races? Do you really think that would be well received by anyone other than "terran is OP!" balance whiners?

And for those balance whiners ... you do realise the new zerg and protoss units could be better, right?

Don't worry, by the third installment Terran will be able to take four of these and link them up with a thor to go Voltron style uber-mech...

It's obviously a hellion that can transform. However, initially I thought it was a reseachable upgrade that would allow it to transform and attack air.... at the expense of moving slower.

What has stumped me though, is the "chill" hint from blizzard.

Having a hellion that can transform to attack air with ice dosen't make sense. I mean c'mon, a fire unit that transforms into a water unit dosen't makes much sense really.

But hence the "chill" hint, it seems like there is a good chance it can freeze opposing units (I can't see a Blastiose like unit shooting water to "psuh back" the enemy, LOL Pokemon!).

Question is, will it be able to freeze ground and air units? Or, just Air? So getting the flame on the ground whilst being able to freeze air? That would be cool, imagine be able to freeze those annoying mutas! Or, if it can freeze ground as well, freezing workers, banes ect....

It would be so freaking hilarious! Just freeze a zerg army and then nuke the crap out of it! lol!

The other possiblity I thought about was maybe it could be a unit that has high HP, minimal attack damge but repairs mech? There is 4 units in the rax.... why not four in the factory? May you be introduced to the "Engineer!"

Having an Engineer "could" make mech play more viable in T v P.

To those saying "OMFG does terran really need more units OMFG OP WTF!" Well, we also have no idea what units Zerg and Protoss are going to get yet and Terran needs somewhat of a counter to it. No one has any idea what Blizzard has in store for HotS.

P.S I want a freeze ability! Pretty please blizzard!!!!!
