Maybe it is the infamous Waterbat, that Tasteless was always talking about. Maybe he was onto something there :D | ||

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. That is also what I am leaning towards for the moment. Technically, I would call it a replacement(if it is true), but it really does seem more like a modified Helion. I speculate that they want this unit to be less fragile in a fight, but less of an option to harass worker lines. If true, I honestly think Blizzard will then try to push the reaper onto players as the primary terran harass unit. I remember them hyping up the reaper up in beta only to have it marginalized by the Helion. I guess we will finally know come Blizzcon what they intend. | ||

If it is what it looks like, w/ legs, then it'll move at the same speed of marine/maruaders. Will it get stim? probably not, its considered mech, then it'll move slower than marine/maruaders. It'll move slower than the regular hellion. Will it get more health? No, the viking transforms, it doesn't get more health, nor any other bonuses. Just a different attack pattern. Does this hellion-transformer have a different type of attack? It doesn't seem like it from the sillouette, it still makes it look like the flame is still its main source of dmg. Some speculated that it could be made by barracks. It doesn't really add to the metagame, since terrans usually get their factory tech extremely quickly. Then how does this add to the terran forces? It doesn't. It probably won't be a hellion transformer thing, everyone keeps saying it is. And if it is, it better have some sick ass abilities, otherwise I'm gunna forever hate blizzard. | ||

Perhaps a unit that can guard tank lines against lings/zealots, but also has the capacity to be mobile enough to be easily rearranged across the map in order to shift the tank line forward or to block a potential whole in the tank line. | ||
