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.


And the contents of said lunchbox contain?

roasted zerglings and drones lol

Checking this thread 7 times a day in the hope they actually revealed the unit........ =(

Terran having a unit for every situation while the other races dont to the same extent didnt seem right to blizzard... Probably a hellion marauder that can tansform into a siege tank with thor-like anti-air.
no dude, the question

See the only reason the gun is on its head is so it can attack from underground, kinda like a submarine periscope...

The lunch box is just a conjecture. Maybe (I hope) it contains mines hehhehehehhehhehee.

It's a fat tech priest.

The mounted gun is not a flame-thrower, but a welding gun for field repairs.

No matter what the unit's actual function is or what its purpose is, I hope its still called "Fat Tech Priest"

The thing on top has to be a flame thrower as it has a barrel and igniter. The things on back and legs are obviously wheels. They seem to match the models of the hellion wheels perfectly. There is no doubt to me that this is some kind of transformed hellion.

Now to discuss the transformed hellion! It has the flame thrower visible on its back which would make me think that it is useable for attack. It might have some guns or something in its hands as it is hard to tell. It is bipedal, which will likely mean a slow moving speed. Taking notes from the viking we can assume that it would retain its armor type during both modes.

I believe they are adding units with some kind of a purpose. So, what purpose could they have for making the transforming hellion? This is where it gets tricky because we cannot assume that it is only to fill a purpose in the current game, as the transforming hellion could be made to help deal with a new unit being introduced in HotS.

We can assume that it is not to overlap with the hellions harass purpose, or its area damage against light units. Right now it seems as mech has a very hard time against protoss. They need something more meaty and with more single target dps than the siege tank. Any anti air capabilities would overlap with the thor or viking (although assuming they might not be changed/removed is too much).
Terran was created third, with purity of tanks.

It's called SCV until Blizzard takes away repair function from SCV for balance issues.

Combat engineer imo. Medic obviously a bit redundant with medivacs. A unit like this would be really cool for mixed armies/biomech compositions. It just reminds me too much of Swann to think anything else though I suppose firebat is possible..

It's quite obviously MMM combined into one unit. A unit with marine attack on one hand, marauder attack on the other, and a self/army healing limb on the top. Capable of stim, concussive shell, combat sheild, and, hell, give them a jetpack too. Also give them cloak and nuke, no, double nuking ability. And make them tier one! Excellent

Blizzard felt like Terrans had too many units in their arsenal so: the rolled the marine, marauder, and hellion all into one unit. All upgrades of respective units come equipped and ready. All the different components can target different individual targets and all work at the same time while the unit is moving. So it can shoot a banshee while roasting probes and killing those stalkers all at once.

Has 260 HP and 3 armor (takes no bonus damage from any source)
Has same damage values of respective units except that marine gauss rifle range has been increased to 6 base
Costs 150 mineral and 50 gas
Makes from command center and requires no pre-requisites.
