sc2 terrans couldnt handle such a blasphemy of not having medic and dropshit in 1 unit :O

How long does it take for people to get through their thick heads that SC2 IS NOT BROODWAR!
Also, Terran needs to be able to drop.... Protoss has Warp Tech, Zerg has the speed to backstab.
What do you want? A terran that just 1 bases all day... yeah that makes a lot of sense. Really starting to get over all the Terran is OP crap.... really. If you think Terran has soooo much of an advantage over other races, why not just play as Terran? Stop complaining for gods sake!

Possibly a transformer upgrade for the hellion. Changing it to a repair type of mech when in that form? That would give the hellion energy though? That is the last thing it needs.

i am pretty sure those "wheel" on the shoulder is a container full of liquid fuel for the flame thrower to be used

and terrans have free workers as in mules, but because that is totally bad they also need to have medics and dropships in the same unit and ofc they have to be able to make them 2 at a time, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

it would be cool if it was an engineer and they could build small fortifications that lasted a short period of time similar to the auto turret or maybe like mini walls to lessen the effectiveness of melee units /shrug

Yeah because a Terran can keep up with a zergs/protoss worker production without mules. Your just Trolling now....and it's a terrible attempt.

George Lucas?
You want to use him, seriously?
Dune. For starters and then every.single.second of those awful films.
George Lucas is a no talent thieving hack.

Looks like a souped up scv to me.

First, the Terran unit looks really fucking stupid from the silhouette. That out of the way, my idea: Blizzard said they would add/delete/modify units, not just add, so I think this unit effectively eliminates two units: the reaper and the hellion. These units are instead replaced with what would seem to be a transforming unit. The first mode is the hellion we know and love/hate (red-flame hellion precisely). The second mode, instead of blue flame, is the transformer mode. Transformer mode adds blue flame to what will be like a firebat, plus the reaper's cliff-jumping ability--the balancing factor is that the transformer mode will have reduced movement speed from the red-flame hellion mode, leaving the unit more open to attack.

ITS A FIREDIC, FIRE BAT + MEDIC, sorry firedic does sound weird lol
|
Maybe scvs wont be able to repair units anymore. And that new unit will serve as a mech medic.

Warhammer 40k is a ripoff of Warhammer, which is a rip off of Tolkien's Middle-Earth which is a rip-off of Norse mythology, thus why we have units in StarCraft like the Valkyries, Vikings, Thors, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

Exactly.
But he didn't time travel 10 years in the future; he traveled 38000!

Make em armored medics. Looking at the picture it looks like it has a ridiculous amount of armor on it.
Maraudic... yeah I said it

Reaper with more health and the attack of a Diamondback for harass while never slowing down. The circular thingies are mines to give it some use in battles. Moving the vulture down to barracks tech to make terran harass even better.
