Since they are adding a unit to terran I guess there would be atleast 2 new for zerg.


Most likely every race will get 2-4 new units in the expansion. I'd be shocked if there were more or less than that for any individual race.

Of course, since Blizz also hinted they will remove units too, potentially some races will see more. E.g. Zerg might get 3 new units with new "roles", plus a replacement for the corruptor = 4 new units.

Perhaps. As it stands:
Terran has 12 units (excluding "summons" and workers)
Zerg have 10 units (excluding "summons", workers and OL/OSeer_
Protoss have 14 units (excluding "summons" and workers)

I expect HotS might have approximately 15 fighting units per race, give or take, at most.

Removals that might happen (or perhaps "complete reworks" of the unit):
- Terran: Hellion, Reaper, Banshee
- Zerg: Corruptor, Overseer, Hydralisk
- Protoss: Observer, Carrier, Collosus

Of course, Blizzard might not add "new units", but simply replace. This would make me a sad cookie, since more variety makes for more interesting play. Harder to balance, sure. But more interesting =D



Terran.

IMO, the reaper and hellion might get reworked. But I highly doubt the bashee will get removed/reworked.

Protoss.

Observer to get reworked/removed..... are you kidding me? LOL! I agree with the Carrier and the Collossi though.

Zerg.

I can see the Hydralisk getting reworked. However, I think Zerg are going to get the more additional units out of the 3 races. The other races will just have a couple of units get reworked/removed I think whilst introducing a couple more.

I hope to god you're right about the Collosus and the Hydralisk. However, I would hate to see the Hydra removed or changed greatly from its bw role. IMO the Hydra should be a staple ranged DPS for any match up. Therefore it needs reworking. The Collosus is sooo boring to see and use, Plz give us something else.



To be honest, I think the only thing a hydra needs is a big speed buff. I think the Collossi definately needs to be removed and replaced though. I would actually like to see Protoss air reworked.

I play Terran myself, and the reason I love terran so much is the versatility. You can really have fun with the units. Protoss and zerg units are boring atm.... just my opinion anyway.

I just have to say, if they bring back a Firebatish t1 unit they just do not understand early game

to be honest, this does not look like a transformed hellion, as the round things do not seem to be tires.
however, I am still not sure whether this is some biological unit or mech, hoping for the latter!

If they keep it this way Terran will end up being Transformers... , they should bring back the old feeling of terran , instead of making them feel more "techie" than they actually deserve.

remove marauders , roaches & Colossus and give good substitution (interesting) units , rework hydra speed too.

actually, siege tanks were the first transformers...
it's not that bad if you think about it.

The difference is that siege tanks transformed into... different tanks.

Vikings = aircraft -> humanoid ground robot
New unit = hellion -> humanoid ground robot

If you check out the pictures of hellions, their front tires / back tires match with the foot tires / shoulder tires in the silhouette.

I think it's probable that it's some form of a hellion transformation. maybe standard or upgradeable. for everyone worrying about medivacs they definitely don't heal anything out of a factory so how could they possibly heal something with wheels. Also for everyone saying its a mech medic we already have those....they are called scvs


Except it's not nearly effective enough to bring 15 food worth of scvs into battle and have them run around being blocked by each other etc Not to mention the acon those scvs wouldhave provided for you in a mineral line. A mech repair veichle would probably be able to repair from range and faster or more targets than scvs.

Why new terran units and no zerg or protoss? Clearly imbalanced.

Maybe it's a mountable unit (mobile bunker).

Marine + hellion = air hellion
Marauder + hellion = higher AOE damage
Ghost + hellion = caster who can launch firestorm

Can the OP redo the images they are cut off.

Also why do i have the feeling the hellions will disapear and this will take its place as a viking type unit IE changes between a car and this form to do better dmg? anyone else see this with them wheel looking things all over it?

I think Blizzard released a PR statement:
New silhouettes for the zerg and protoss will be unveiled on the official StarCraft Facebook page on October 10 and October 17, respectively. What are they, and how do they fight? The answers will come at BlizzCon. 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.

Looks like a flamethrower or maybe even a healing gun on the top.

Then again, I doubt they'd add a ground medic as banelings would just own them too much, that's why they made medivacs I think. Could possibly be some kind of engineer unit that heals mech?

The trouble is, it looks mechy, but it also looks like it's got human legs.

They are probably going to replace the reaper with this unit in HOTS. I'm guessing it is going to be a unit similar to the firebat.

I really hope not. I actually like the reaper. I want them to just buff the reapers health or something. Although reapers already have their place, in the early game.
