I still think its a maruder with aditionall flametrower.
Imagine this:
Your LOLMaruder engades a roach with his concusive shell. Then a batch of speedlings come from behind. The flame turret auto targets them while the maruder still shots shells at the roaches.

I can see a mech support unit

I agree with Predy's thread about how TvP is bio only atm and thus Terran mech needs to be better vs Protoss. So imo they'd really need some strong anti air like Goliath and something like Spidermine to defend places where the army is not from harrassement.
This unit looks like it can heal mech... don't know if that was really the unit Terran was lacking^^

Wonder what it's gonna be, probably a minithor with concussive shells just to troll everyone.

I think this is going to be a factory unit that will shield up the tanks from zealots. At least I hope so, so we can mech again.

Definately a Medic type unit, its already got what looks like the combat shield the medics had. The turret on top is interesting. Maybe this unit has the ability to heal mech units like the science vessels in the campaign did? Or it might be a medic with some type of attack/anti air. Who knows! Cool though.

I can't believe how lazy the designers are with this unit, they took a hellion and made him a transformer...

Oh no! Terrans need to make a unit that comes out of a building other than a Factory, what a massive inconvenience that must be!

Seriously, Terrans don't know how good they have it...

look at graphs from latest patch, protoss has 60% on terran in top level of play, so stop whining please

It pretty much just looks like a hellion that transforms into a medic. The order in the campaign hint with a (chill) hint makes me think it appears on the frozen planet levels that have already been spoiled to us, except that the first level in that series starts off with Protoss enemies. Maybe next?

I thinks its a bunker that, instead of salvage, turns into a melee unit.

If i would make a guess ill go with the popular transforming hellion. Im also guessing it will be more durable and move very slowly or transform in to a sort of a turret and cannot move at all (it lifts its shields to form a ball that has flamethrower on top of it)

I could see it being more of a support unit. Possibly a marauder that does less damage, and then the thing on the top heals bio-units. A marauder/hellion like people are saying would be weird, and kind of pointless...unless they take out either of those units in order to combine them.

You mean this one?

Uhh.. you may want to take a look again.. It's not 60%.

Edit: You may have meant this: (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=262678)

But that is no where near what you stated either.

I think I've figured it out. It's going to replace the hellion. Basically it will be a fast harass unit, but it has to transform into assault mode to attack.
