I really dont fucking hope this is a "tank" unit them I'm going to be severely depressed.... Why would Z need such a unit !? Fuck sake, I want fast units or something with good range. Hydras that arent terrible or a scourge like unit instead of corruptors... Everything that have been replaced from BW have been replaced with slower versions... So annoying T_T

But obviously it's a new model for a lurker!

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?


Looks like hydra to me. Hydra head, arms, and spikes on the body.

Roach replacement, will be slightly weaker, but will be able to attack air and ground units this time.
(Lurkers would break the game- see that ball thing (pathing) that units do? That would be a feast for 5 or so lurkers)

You can see the hole on its back so its a tank unit for zerg, atleast what i think!

I have a cool idea aswell! Its a tank unit but it burrows like lurkers to shoot? they have done it with spines and spores why not with a unit aswell calling it now

Almost brings tears to my eyes to think of lurker and reaver in sc2

Someone earlier said that it looks like a creep tumor on its back.
The more I look at it, the more I see it. It feels like a Lurker with the ability to burrow and spread a small area of creep.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Why do people keep getting my hopes up? This is would be way too good to be true, just like the guy who suggested that the terran silhouette will replace the marauder.

It must be something that can attack while cloaked. My guess is that it's a long range, cloaked unit that has no splash damage.

That would be awesome. A siege-cannon which can be filled with banelings as ammunition!

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

LOOOOOOL

they might fiddle with battlecruiser move speed too haha

Wrong, they are multiplayer units...

Also, the head is almost definately a Hydra, just look at the shape of it. (someone photshopped hydra next to the head and they look identical)
