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! We will get over once thats true. For now, GSL is kicking you arguments in a butt  | ||

The tires on his legs match the front tires of the Hellion. And the tires on his back match the rear tires of the Hellion. The flametrower is somewhat different but that's what it is: a flametrower. I really dont know how can you imagine something different. Anyway, it is probably very far from the actual Hellion (a mineral-only unit can't be so flexible), even from the aesthetic point of view, it seems too fat and robust to be just the actual hellion trasformed. It could very well be a new vehicle... a replacement for the hellion. | ||

That'll be awesome. | ||

Come on...), and add some versatility to it by making it able to transform and shoot down air unit. The unit will cost gas (25-50). | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Y01Yf.png) it's a little messy, but the relevant parts are the blue circles and the white circles. the mess is me measuring stuff. on page 91 is my alternative model on page 71 my first counter arguments against wheel theories. | ||

Why would you make it easier than it is right now? It feels pretty hard for both sides to kill each other. | ||

Blizzard is trolling us. That just Wall E ![[image loading]](http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2008/04/Ultimate%20Wall-E%20GI.jpg) Then I saw the Hellion transformer thing and it looks nice, but I don't really see it. The left hand (in the right of the picture) is clearly a hand holding a weapon. The top thing looks like a flame thrower or a laser or something. But I would find it weird to have wheels on the back. Could it be Reaper wings? ![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/images/b/bd/Reaper_SC2_DevGame2.jpg) EDIT: Why would a Hellion transform? Into what functionality? I mean, Hellion is fast and high damage, so the only "upgrade" would be extra armor. How does one transform into something with higher armor? | ||

I'm still saying Tech Engineer guy, allows you to heal mech and lay mines, but removes the heal mech from SCVs so people can't all in with a load of SCVs and mass repair mech units. | ||

Are you really measuring the tires size? This is probably NOT a straight Hellion, as it is clear by the general robustness of the silhoutte. It could share an anti-light role with the Hellion (and replace it) given the flamethrower, but the important part is that it seems a transformable vehicle. The tires' size is totally irrelevant as long as the model is very similar, since it is a matter of artistic design. The vehicles in the artist's imaginative world have to have something in common. Your alternative design is hilarious, and that's it. | ||

Except for the fact that they're both cylindrical, there aren't any similarities between the gun on this new unit and the Hellion's flamethrower. It seems to me that, while this may be a transforming vehicle, that doesn't mean that it uses a flamethrower in robot form. Or uses a flamethrower in vehicle form either. It could be a "repurposed" Hellion, the way the Viking is kind of a modified Goliath. Okay I have to point this out because people seem to have not noticed it... We are comparing the in-game hellion model to concept art. This means, if it is a hellion transformed, things could look a little different! IMO It's pretty obvious that it is a hellion transformed, despite a few mismatched details. | ||

"if it had tires, which it doesn't, it wouldn't have hellion tires". the picture is an answer to those making direct comparisons with hellions and saying the "tires" match, when that's false. sorry I made such a messy picture. I should've seen it coming. people can't read the text on it. | ||

Just because you people were fucking awful at BW does not mean you need to defend shitty unit design in sc2 so passionately..... If you feel so passionately about that, what the hell are you doing in a SC2 thread? SC2 and BW are two different things with different mechanics, it's not gonna make one better if you make it more similar to the other. | ||

I want Terran - not transformers. The viking is enough as it is, it's one of the most boring units in the game. | ||
