Looks like it could be a unit with 2 shieldarms used to soak up damage for you and your allies in teamgames.

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...

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!


It is, as bio and mech don't share upgrades (unlike robo/gateway). Having to spread upgrades is a fairly crippling blow for a biomech strategy and unlike in TvZ you can't get along with pretty much minimum (+1 vehicle to always oneshot zerglings).

I think making mech (or mech units) more viable would really help the matchup (if it doesn't affect the allins) and bring in more positional gameplay into TvP.

Perhaps this "new" hellion won't be able to attack unless it has "deployed" into combat mode? This could render it significantly slower, making worker run-aways much more effective.

Wait is this a serious idea? From the shadow and the reveal I thought it was a joke, but there is no "just kidding."

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


You mean this one?

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=268287

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.

Hope its a stronger unit than the hellion. Preferably with 2X faster firing rate and higher damage to armoured. Perhaps make it cost 150 minerals. That would make things fair ^^

Might want to edit this in the OP, it may mean that it is indeed not a bio unit, but Zarhim said "What a cute little robot." (Blizz forum) Don't know if it's supposed to be taken seriously or not, but I'm still scratching my head on this whole thing, and makes me wonder what other reveals they'll have for Zerg and Protoss later.

I would hate it. Why do terran always get transforming units and shit that eats your APM like a monkey in a banana store?

Tanks: siege/unsiege/siege/unsiege
Vikings: walk/fly/walk/fly/walk/fly

Depots that can be lowered and raised, bunkers to enter and exit, buildings to fly, addons to swap. SCVs to build, rally back and forth, repair and so forth.

Seriously, it this fkin race even playable with non-korean APM? And now you tell me theres another freaking unit that has a transform function? Damn. Theyll probably throw in a biomech production facility to produce it too, that can have a series of add-ons and a separate, also new, building that you have to make to upgrade it. lol.

Indeed, that's exactly what I was thinking. XD Wouldn't mind seeing that, being a Terran myself.

im sorry, but that looks ridiculous. also, i'm pretty certain that kind of unit is something terran doesn't exactly need right now.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Clearly a realistic number based on the <200 games sampled there. Funny how those numbers show T as the weakest race (~40% in each match-up).

Love the pic of Mana there, looks like some one just told him he was the best P and that was his reaction (surprised, with a slight smile). Lol
I can take that responsibility.

If it is a terran melee mech unit, I am intrested to see how it will function. Maybe some sort of aura that blocks enermy units from moving past it, but allows allied ones to? Maybe it can defend nearby unit/s?

If that blue post hint about chill is real.. then a freezing unit?

Maybe it is simply a unit with a big sign attached to it saying "LURKER AND DEFILER ARE BACK" lol..

It looks like a hellion crossed with a Thor from the silhouette. My guess is some sort of tier 3 Factory unit that plays like a lumbering, mech firebat.

Hellion Viking combination or something?
Some kind of anti-air fighter vs Light that can transform into a viking like hellion on the ground?
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle
