Because hover vehicles are totally realistic. And how is the Thor's animation not jerky? If it's feet weren't so big, it looks like the thing would fall over under a stiff breeze. | ||

And it has a Ground-Viking type of look. So using common sense, it's some sort of unit that will be able to transform as well, because why the hell would you have 4 wheels in those specific positions if you didnt use them to drive around? So Hellion wheels + capability to transform Is it a merge of Hellion with something? Or just a Hellion rework? Or perhaps as some people mentioned (but i dont really see happening) something not Flame related... But i really cant wait to see this! Also for those of you complaining "Oh why would they give Terran a new unit???" You do know that they'll eventually show the Zerg and Protoss units too right? | ||

Being that it's just a silhouette we have no idea if it is a "spark light" or something to mix a chemical to create a mist of some sort. I concede that logically it seems like it might be something fiery in nature but when you factor in the hint from the Blizzard mod, "chill", it indicates: yes, cold, got it. At any rate, we'll find out eventually but speculation is always fun. Which is why he surrounded the word "chill" with Hint Hint. Yeah...that makes perfect sense Well i kinda figured he was using the hints in a ''Haha we trolled you Zergs again'' kind of way  .I have a really hard time thinking it would be a freezebot, i mean that would just be.. awkward. | ||

A Marine is "wearing" the Hellion. You combine the two units to form a new unit. | ||

Luckily, the Zerg design should be much better considering that MrJack is working at Blizzard now. MrJack? And yeah I hope so. I'm not sure I like the art direction change they did to Zerg in SC2. In alpha you can still see buildings were yellowish like in BW. Well that's not what I care too much about. But the overall feel of Zerg changed from cool/evil (sharp, spiky) to slimy and disgusting (and insectlike). I liked the more demonish feeling of Zerg from SC1, in SC2 they feel like bugs. If you look at pictures, they rounded a lot of cool sharp edges in units such as the spiky head of the Hydralisk. Idk I think it just looked way better in the beta (perhaps not the coloring but the look). | ||

Hope they scrap whatever crap it will be and just put the vult back in the game >.< | ||

Hey, we have helicopters in space, I'm just saying hovering looks cooler and less goofey than walking mechs (unless they nail the animation to be jerky, which they haven't yet). | ||

btw i wonder why Bliz is throwing a shadow of new unit to community...i guess they try to hype up sc2 before d3 comes out so d3 would have much more impact. | ||

The wheels on the boots makes me think it has somekind of Viking-esque mode switch. Perhaps a factory unit that replaces Hellions? | ||
