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!!!!!


Good point, the ghost is a spellcasting bio unit, it would be cool to see a spellcasting mech unit that would not only help mech compositions but also bio and etc., just like how ghosts are useful for mech too as well as bio.

Guys,


Clearly it's the new mule with an auto-turret on its head.

I'm almost certain it's a transformed hellion look at this

As far as the chill comment. Notice that most of the current screenshots for HoTs include a snow planet. Flamethrowers would do well against that.

It's a firebat, but with the flame coming out from the hose over his helmet instead of from the arms. The arms are instead equipped with shields.

Has anyone realised yet the igniter on the Sillouette looks nothing like the one on the Hellion?

IMO, it's a complete new unit. Or it's a hellion transformed that can attack Air with freeze. Then again, why would a you need an igniter for ice?

It's the chill hint that screws me up.

They are telling people to chill about them releasing the Terran unit teaser first, it has nothing to do with the actual unit.

the back wheels match too..... it has to be it... hellion drop into mineral line -> kill drones -> retreat when zerglings pop -> transform -> kill zerglings -> repeat

Can we stop the stupid abilities and just have decent splash units for terran? we don't need more units, just un-nerf hellions, tanks, and replace thors with something cool that doesn't look ridiculous.
