Perhaps its a replacement for the hellion that transforms like the viking. It can move fast and do single target damage in car mode, but transforms into the slower moving mech to do splash damage. Thats my guess as they have finally realized how incredibly powerful hellions are and nerfed blue flame last patch, now they make it less mobile when doing splash but make it 2 shot workers again.

Look, they don't design SC2 around being convenient just for you. There's no reason to create a strategy that works completely out of a single kind of production building. Marines are almost free, and it's easier to add on a couple of Barracks for anti-air (or a reactor starport for vikings -- watch King of Mech Goody play a little) than it is to add on a couple of factories for some Goliath reboot unit.

Well I really hope it wouldn't be a hellion that could shoot air... unless maybe it's attack type was different (no splash in a line like the current hellion, and possibly does extra damage to armor instead). What I would personally want instead would be a unit like the Valkyrie from SC1 to fight off mutas and phoenix, but the argument can be made that thors already do that. I would just really prefer to have a more mobile unit for it though.

Could someone with some reputation as a thread started make a poll on what the community thinks it is? Appearantly I am hated by the moderators, they won't let me poll your opinions

Before it was closed:

Hellion Transformer: 38%
Upgraded Hellion: 30%
Medic (replacing the Medivac heal): 25%
Engineer (healing Terran and Protoss mech units): 0%
Changed Reaper: 20%
Changed Marauder: 0%
Something else: 0%

Only post if you care of course, no need to make effort just for me if you think it could get you banned.

Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

Y'all are wrong. This is an infested marauder. It is a "terran" unit.

Alright, I was just thinking there would not be a lot of people reading the last (and soon the middle) of such an enormous thread.

Thank you though.

I think its a ground medic in this form - but it can transform into a hellion style to run away (but cant heal in that state). It will be made from the factory

... heh.

how far will these transformers fans go?

oh the broken hearts when they reveal what it is and it's not a transformer and it has nothing to do with hellions.

edit1: unless having a flamethrower counts as "having something to do with hellions" - a mech unit, the fastest unit, a unit with wheels...

Why would a medic wear a flame thrower?

The wheel-like object on the legs really makes me want to go with the Helion Transformer idea, but a lot of the other stuff seems really out of place for a Helion. Like, it wouldn't fit right. What are the chances of someone photo shopping a similar sized picture of a Helion beside this? Might be easier to analyze if we can see them side by side.

There wouldnt be any flamethrower a healer only unit - it would just be 'hellion style' when it can run away, so positioning the medics would be key since they will probably be slow
