Could be a thor style unit like the goliath and the cannon on top is a gattling cannon. Maybe it's down to the fact thors are useless against magic boxed air units and also anything other than mutalisks.

Yeah, it's not like Terran has some sort of stimmable, high DPS anti-air unit - they totally need something to shoot down air units!


Erm, that's the problem. It kind of forces you into making marines rather than going pure factory units...

If it will indeed replace the Hellions, then we might be seeing a shift in the Terran dominance in competitions, hopefully to a leveled state

Hmmm when i saw it i thought.Cool a Maruder that has a extra flame thrower so that it would work good vs light.... then noticed the things that look like wheels... So now he can fall on his back and still move while launching his grenades up as a FLAK....

Blizzard created the perfect unit. Good vs Light/Armored/Air.

Top small gun - flamethrower (very close)
Shield
and marauder grenade maybe.

So they combined marauder, helion and marine shield.

Hellions will be removed and replaced by vultures. Firabat will be added.

My Conspiracy Theory:

Blizzard didn't know what unit they could possibly give to Terran,

So they released only an outline of the unit, hoping the community would then speculate on what it could be

People would then make new ideas and draw things, and Blizzard will eventually choose one and say 'you guys were right!'

Well Played Dustin, Well Played.


Lol, knowing blizzard that would probably be less of a surprise than the mothership change.

Although it seems pretty decisive that it's something to do with the hellion, I'm more interested to see what P/Z units hold.

Addresses all the problems ever known to Terran-kind:

"We need a unit that somehow looks a bit like a Reaper while at the same time being able to incinerate large quantities of units": This appears to be somewhat Reaper-looking, while having attached a flamethrower on its tophat.

"We need a unit that is a bio unit while also being a mech unit": This appears to be an infantry unit with wheels.

"We need a unit that is like the Hellion, except that it has much more health and can shoot upwards. In fact, give it two shields, just to fuck with the other races." This appears to be a very Hellion-inspired unit, except a lot more bulky and holding, what looks like, two god damn shields. It also appears as if the flamethrower is be able to point upwards, though this is speculation.

"We need a Marauder-esque unit, however the Marauder sucks because it is only really great against armored units. Also, it doesn't shoot up." It appears Blizzard has heeded these wise words and created an amalgamation of Marauders, Hellions and Marines, with some Reaper thrown in.

It blows my mind.

The speed of a hellion, stim upgrades, durable like a marauder, splash like a siege tank, point defense drone and detection built in and it generates money when it kills. Terran is desperately in need of such a unit imo

This thing looks either like a cross between Johnny 5 and ET or its just the medic

Kinda looks like its holding a shield, like the medics do and I guess the odd shaped head is prob just some xray glasses or something, who knows?
Bleh.

I don't see the flamethrower everyone keeps imagining. Just looks like some kind of a droid camera on top to me.

On another note, it does look a lot like some kind of transformer, which is pretty lame. One cheesy morphin' time unit is enough for me.

Looks like Helions will be able to transform into something with guns (bonus to armored, but still no AA?). Always liked how Vikings could transform (cool mechanic, with plenty of options), so it looks awesome to me.

Even tho as a zerg player I don't like the thought of even better Helions. ;-)

Terran dominance in what competitions? Are you only referring this to the number of terrans in the gsl?
