lately i've felt it's kinda unfair that terran has no basic melee unit, so i hope this will be one.

Yeah, a terran melee unit with 2.25 base walking speed so it sticks with the MM ball, but can stim and have its speed increased to 3.475 so it can rush forward, tank and deal its kickass DPS as necessary! Not to forget the MM ball dealing its own DPS from behind, and the medivacs overhead healing the melee meatshield! Now everything sounds so much fairer :o

Anyway, this is an SC2 terran unit, so whatever it turns out to be, it's going to be imba



sigh... unfair to the other races.

Im pretty sure the left (left in the pic/the units right) "shield" isn't really a shield it just an arm in a weird angle.

Maybe the "flamer" is actually some kind of freezer. I don't think it's 100% certain it's going to have something to do with the hellion. It could just have some kind of speed form.

Ok lets just speculate that this unit is a transforming hellion. Lets say it's only an upgrade that you get from a tech lab on a factory.

This means you can at the early game you can still do your reactor hellion build to harass the mineral line of the zerg to force lings or the building of a roach warren. If zerg doesn't go roaches and stays on lings, you can upgrade this hellion instead of siege tank. This hellion is slower, but when transformed, it will act as a firebat.

This could stop zerg from going the style of mass ling +1 ownage of the terran army when they make that usual push shown here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=261176

I'm sure everyone knows Stephano and his mass ling style vs terran. Maybe blizzard is making hellions as they were intended? To counter lings, nomatter what, forcing zerg to build more than just 1 unit, roaches are only an extra 25minerals and 25 gas and are more larva efficient anyways. Zergs should be thinking of roaches in the mix if they see factory tech anyway right?

Maybe I'm just talkin out my ass, what do you guys reccon?

I raccoon that it is pointless to talk about the implications of a unit that you have no idea what it actually is.

Bumblebee... is that you? You sure gained a lot of weight!

Anyway, i'm sad to say that i've kinda lost the love for sc2 lately...And I have the feeling that the developers back at blizzard just don't really get what people want. With these cartoony blurred up pictures of what looks like a fat marauder with shields, they will only attract 40 pages of jokes, and that's about it. It's just my personal opinion that they are massacring what could have been a super game...It's just missing that something that kept me playing sc1 for years...
what happened, happened...

What a silly looking unit this will be. Blizz designers should take a lesson from Chuck Jones and the importance of silhouette because that is a really unattractive shape. Hopefully it'll be a cool unit though, I just honestly hope it isn't another transforming unit because those look like four wheels on it.

It's mixed between marauder+helion. Now marauder shoot flame that has concussive shell.


concusive flame, slows down anything that's caught in the flame, can attack air. it also will not cost gas. terran can just make this unit and counter everything.

Hahahhahaaha, thank you so much for that. Love it.



one thing i can be sure off, its definitely not a super soaker .

Upon examining the turret at the top, it has a pre igniter so it definitely has to be for fire. The question is, would blizzard have 2 fire units for terran? i doubt this, so this unit could very well be replacing the hellion ( it means the hellion might be removed for HOTS) , cause i have yet to see blizzard keep 2 of the same themed units together. Now to be honest, this actually looks fucking amazing, This unit is alot more interesting than the hellion, because it looks like it has 2 modes ( wheels) , the wheels would not exist on a unit if it could not somehow transform. So i definitely think this thing is a transformer that has 2 modes much like the viking. The question i have is, we know this thing will shoot fire while in vehicle mode, but when out of vehicle mode what would it really do? , i hope it does something great cause it might mean mech can be used alot more

I blame magic box for this

Besides, Clearly terran is lacking a high speed, flexible, bio unit with splash damage. Makes perfect sense when you think about as long as it has stim and can be healed by medevacs.

To be honest, it look silly. Can't know if it's an infantry or a mech unit.
