That describes just about every single returning unit except the marine. edit: I wonder if it could be a "medic" for mech units that is more survivable than an SCV. Two shields on its arms and a thingy on top of its head that looks like it could be for repairing. | ||

To be fair, Terran doesn't need more damage, or "role" covering units, however right now it seems that each race had an identity from BW and was given a "General Outline" in SC2. Terran: Hit hard, Die Fast Protoss: Tough core units, Powerful Spells Zerg: Strong Economy, Mass Units The position of the roach needs some change, because they are such a core unit that they can eventually be an entire composition (Seen primarily in ZvZ roach on roach battles are a real drag). Protoss Colossus and Immortals could use a bit of work (Personally I just dont think the look of the colossus fits the Protoss, but that's neither here nor there). Also I feel as though they could buff the core units, and make Warp Gate into Fleet Beacon Tech. Finally...The Mothership, it's the lost puppy of SC2, if they're intent on cloaking, maybe give the warp prism a "Deployed Only" cloak upgrade for late game for position control... Just spitballing. As stated before, the Marauder and Thor just seem out of place statistically. In any event I feel like putting more pieces on the board for a HotS Beta can only be positive as we can give our, hopefully, constructive feedback to Blizzard in the hope that they will stay true to what we had in the past, and if not, it's still an incredible game, all things considered, with a different team working on the game | ||

It's clearly a reaper with a hellion flamer on the back. That should fix the "I |<!11 411 ur work3rZ naw!" problem :D j/k... | ||

Terran: Hit hard, Die Fast Protoss: Tough core units, Powerful Spells Zerg: Strong Economy, Mass Units "General Outline", hahaha, you have a very generous perspective. Terran: Hit hard, Die harder. Protoss: What core units? They were all sniped by my hard counters. What spells? I have not seen Storm in months. Zerg: Very true. If they are not touched or even looked at the entire game. They should just add another 5/6 Terran units and cut the P and Z races from the game. It will never be like BW  | ||

I'm now totally confused whether this is a barracks unit or a factory unit. I mean, it looks to have human legs but also have wheels. And mech unit walking? (I know the Thors do but you really can't call that "walking") | ||

Whatever it is, the design looks pretty dumb. Wheels on armored infantry. Really? | ||

This makes me sad. But not when I play because I play as the superior race, naturally. | ||

One such design is the Hellion Mk.II, a Hellion that can transform from an agile vehicle to a more armored walker. To further expand the Hellion's role on the battlefield and provide better support for a Terran ground army, the new walker mode sacrifices mobility for improved durability. It addresses the need to protect marines from baneling attacks by using its hardened armor plating to block baneling movement or absorb its splash damage. I like this description but don't tanks already do this? | ||
