I think we as a community need to get off the "I want lurkers" kick. Yes they were an awesome unit but this is not sc1 it is a new game and I don't know about most of you but I don't want them to just copy all the old units. I want new units that will develop new and cool strategies.

Ok so enough of that about this unit. I don't think it will come from a roach look at the head and how it is shaped with the mouth looking much more like a hydralisk and the large plate coming off the back of the head is shaped like a hydralisk. However it is also shaped a lot like a reach with those legs, I would not be surprised if you make this unit by morphing together both like an archon. Oh and it probably will be the new siege unit they were talking about. Maybe half burrowing leaving the shell on its back exposed and gaining increased armor while in that position. Very cool possibilities!

So is it confirmed that they're only adding 1 new unit for each race?


I think people are getting ahead of themselves these could be just for the campaign and not multilayer.

nah, they said specifically that this unit is intended for multiplayer

I think it is a unit that sprays something similar to the baneling acid out from that shell opening. It has fairly large range like a seige tank but instead of most of the damage being done to the unit it hits then splash damaging the rest, it evenly damages everything the attack hits.

Jesus, I thought you guys were all retarded at first, I didn't view the image separately and only got to see about half it. Assumed black was the background and the purple was the actual unit, and thought "this clearly 100% looks like an antiair if not the devour itself."

Meh, I feel dumb now.

This is blizzards new way of adding units to SC2.
step 1: post silhouette of ambiguous concept unit
step 2: create uproar on forums
step 3: steal ideas for what people think it is
step 4: profit
step 5: change bunker timing

improved hydra with aoe missile attacks out of the large back, i think the hydra will be removed.

A:maybe tier1 with considerably low damage and medium range,else it would be overkill, also fast.
B:maybe tier2+ with high damage for positional play, would be slow.

leaning more to A, cuz i think blizz releases lower tier units first.

Compared to a siege tank, it'll probably:
(a) no splash or (b) linear splash
(a) very high atk speed or (b) very slow
(a, b) Shoots spikes (going with hydra,lurker mechanics)

It's definitively a Roach morph unit, looks too obvious for it not too be. I am guessing that's what Blizzard are aiming towards. Hellion/Morph. Roach/Morph?

is it only me or the shield remind a creep tumor?
perhaps a sort of siege unit who moves burrowed, act like a creep tumor (spreading tumors like a queen) and do some sort of long range dmg? slow as hell ofc...


Yup, I mentioned that on the last page. So I'm glad it's not just me who thinks so.

If it looks like a creep tumor on the outside, though, then what part of it attacks? Hrm.


my conclusion is that the shield on the back is infact a sort of tumor, obviously with different graphics or spreding creep will be a madness. But maybe the opponent see a normal tumor, and has to scan to reveal the unit.
The attack is an artillery thing, burrowed. Well that's my idea, maybe im totally wrong lol. Seems cool concept.
