EPTactually I hate the idea of any wheeled transformer type really...the viking is ok I guess.
Might make some different concepts up just for fun later, even if it does look like it has wheels T_T

First take a look at this image I made: ![[image loading]](http://i54.tinypic.com/apjrr4.jpg) This is the original image of the unit after some simple modifications, namely greatly increased brightness and removal of the background. This made some hidden details visible. First of all it seems that there are indeed wheels attached to the unit, you can clearly see the rubber tire texture on one of them. Also the gun appears to be a flamethrower, consisting of the main upper barrel(s) for spraying the fuel and a smaller one for igniting it. Two large shields are also visible, apparently connected to the unit's 'arms'. Those observations lead me to believe that the unit is indeed a 'Helion Transformer'. I think that it will be produced in the Barracks in it's walker form and in this mode it will serve as a slow melee range meat-shield unit, acting primarily as a damage tank for the Marines. After building a Factory (maybe requiring a tech lab research) the unit will gain the transformation ability which will transform it into a standard Helion. It is possible that the walker mode will be a replacement for the Marauder in it's damage absorbing role, and there will be a light anti-armor unit added to the Factory. What do you think? Great work. I don't give much weight to the "Transformer" idea, but prior to your work I thought it'd be a factory unit. But now I clearly see the "legs" of biological being so it's gotta be a barracks unit. | ||

I kinda never ever used this unit in the campain, execpt in the mission where you get them and make a bunch and a-move them randomly with a bunch of scvs repairing... I remember they could move and shoot at the same time tho Diamondback = Hellion + Void Ray Kind of. It shoots weaker version of Void Ray laser and moves like hellions. | ||

Don't know.. I just thought the legs were somewhat too curvy for a machine. But the again I don't exactly see the head, just the eyes.. | ||

It's not the legs, it's the form of the legs. The picture has legs like a marine, whereas the viking's legs are bulky and blocky. Also notice it looks like it's carrying a shield similar to the way an SC2 medic does in the single player missions. | ||

...assuming that the transformation means slower speed, more armor and/or perhaps a slightly better rate of fire/higher damage or something like that, I'm actually liking the idea of removing blue flame and instead having the transformation as an upgrade. Thoughts? | ||
