Yeah. Terran holds very little interest for me: I hope they give the Reaper some Spider mines/equivalent, I hope they remove the Hellion and Marauder and give Terran some nice mech units, I hope they make the Seige Tank viable in TvP and nerf Marines without ruining other matchups and I hope they make the Raven viable again. Other than that... not much I desperately want.

It does look kind of like a more bulky medic - I really hope it isn't, though.

It's actually a unit whose sole purpose is diffusing baneling land mines.

Would a defused baneling be like a dried out green corpse? Or like they pour really basic solutions into the ground so it neutralizes the baneling's acid?

I've got it!

It's a support robot with shield arms that can be extended over a pack of marines to absorb colossus beams!

I understand why every protoss would want this unit removed, but why do you want it removed?

He probably wants an anti-armored unit that requires flair to use instead of one that makes the audience groan when they see it. There are ways to design a counter rather than having a completely vanilla unit with lots of hit points and an arbitrary damage bonus.

It's pretty big for just a transformed hellion.. What if its a hellion together with a marauder or viking like you can make archons with templar.

Heard it here first.

Its a boring "no skill" unit that doesnt fit in the terran army at all. Im a terran and i hate the marauder


How is it any more boring or no skill than a Marine, or a Stalker, or an Immortal, or a Hydralisk, or a Roach? They are all point and shoot units that only require micro at the highest levels.

They use a syringe to drain the baneling and what do you have left? A zergling....

Hey everyone! My first post here.

| wanted to share my findings about this new unit.

First take a look at this image I made:

[image loading]

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.



to me the attachments still look more like landmines then wheels

You can burrow roaches for saving them. You can micro marines with hit-n-running to save them from banelings.

If they are determined to add this unit then it seems likely to me that the Helion will go. Again, entirely speculation on my part.


I guess that depends on your definiton of "go". Let's say that this new unit is basically "a hellion that can transform into a firebat", and that it's called an Infernal, then the hellion is still technically in the game, right?

That is perfectly plausible Maxie. However, for the moment I believe Blizzard will simply cut units that are too similar in style and mechanics or perhaps it is better to say they will cut units they feel will compete for exactly the same job. In this case, why have 2 vehicles with flamethrowers attached?

I could be dead wrong.


I cannot wait to see what they will do for Zerg and Protoss.


It could just be a hellion with a new form. Same stats, but you now research a transformation that gives the unit more legs in the late game. I would't be shocked in terran mech gets a few things like this.

I want to see what protoss gets. I want another basic unit that can buffer the mid game and make the whole game less colossi focused. Also, upgrades for all unloved units, immortal, hyrda, carrier, ultra. It worked in BW, it can work in SC2.

it's a new goliath that you can only have 1 of in 1 invisible control group. it also walks like a dragoon and has dragoon ai and each attack has to be targeted on a separate enemy or you take damage. takes more skill!

Because marines are pretty fragile, marauders are pretty much a "terran zealot" with concussive shells.
