Might be idiotic of me, but I get a bit annoyed when I see a new terran unit. The race as a whole seem very finished. Terran is awesomely designed and so many units and abilities have great synergi. And when I heard the dev interview when they said it would be hard to add a new unit to terran I agreed. Protoss and Zerg have so many large design flaws... and need rather large revamps in many areas to feel as fleshed out as terran. So seeing blizzard spending time on adding new units to a race they consider hard adding units too.... bleh... I get annoyed.

But on the other hand. I kinda knew every race would get new units. They want to sell this expansion, and the largest playerbase plays terran, so ofcourse they don't want to dissapoint them.

If this is a transforming Hellion though I like the idea. Instead of adding something completely new, they add and upgrade for an exisiting unit. The hellion is pretty basic, so adding some tactical flare to it would be cool. But I fear a transforming hellion sounds too strong. A hellion is already really strong, and since it would probably loose its speed when transforming, it would have to gain something else for it to be worth it... and that scares me.

well lets see it how it is, this unit got revealed as the first one because they scrapped all the terran models and build something out of it (see wow). Designing an organic or high tech alien unit is always a bit more time taking. Also they wanted feedback on it probably before revealing it, as it seems to be a replacement for a terran unit.

So lets say it again, ugly totally ugly shape, don't even dare to remove the hellion its so cool.

(they probably want to merge hellion with the reaper, while i like macross, they made cool models and not a dragonball prince pilaf robot)

hey guys unfortunately i understand nothing in image editing, but this interpretation seems interesting to me: (post nr. 42, forum is in russian, but just look at the images)
http://forum.sc2tv.ru/showthread.php/19715-Юнит-хотса/page3
the shape of the cockpit seems to be truthworthy, doesn't it?
i believe i haven't seen such interpretation anywhere else.

First post and probably last.

Ive lost count how many years ive been following TL, but what its have become today is sad.
THis thread really summarise it pretty darn good. So much trolling, and how every thread becomes some sort of balance whine shit. Every damn thread one read about whining about the races. Makes me a sad. Its not even constructive critisism. Chill out ffs, its a picture, you dont know shit about it go back to BW or w/e. Its starcraft 2 and nothing else, wait for official statements about this new unit. Wait when they announce new units for the other races.

InControl said it so good the other day. When someone attacked him and he replied something about it kids invading TL after sc2. And its not what it used to be.

Had to get this out of me Sry

I think it's most likely to be a Terran unit that can burrow underground. The gun shaped object on the top is so that it can attack from underground. Left hand is probably holding a shovel, right hand a lunchbox for underground survival.

It's bulkiness makes me feel that it has to be quite tanky, and the shape of the gun on top makes me feel like it does straight-line splash damage.

In other words, I think it's a Terran lurker.

thank you for saying that. The funniest thing is, 90% of the "criticism" is just because Blizzard showed the Terran unit first. It was because of the campaing. Period! The other 10% is about how OP Terran already are. Its not so pointless, but still, the whole of the game is supposed to change. Terran can get 10 extra units, as long as they stop being more "swiss-army-knifish" than Z and P, which is a possibility given the new units and overall changes to the game, its ok.

It tells a lot about the community when you see how much poop can be spred in the forums
in less than 24 hours.. But its ok acctually, dont get too pissed off. Remember how you behaved when you were a kid. Myself, in the early 2000´s I cursed Chris Metzen everyday for doing the kind of drawings and stories he did, but acctually he was my favorite writer. Yes, there are kids in the forums; they are doing kiddish stuff. We are different people, from different ages, who behave differently. I say, lets ignore them until they grow up and start talking like we do, just like our older siblings did to us and we did to our younger siblings. Thats living together, growing together, just being together :D

It definitely looks like a transformed Hellion. You're pretty delusional if you think otherwise. I have to imagine they won't completely change the usage of regular Hellions, so this would be an upgrade if true. Lose mobility and speed and gain more armor and power/DPS most likely.
