Looks like a roach upgrade that has a huge cannon on its back. Siege unit for sure.

it looks like i have to burrow to be of any use, but i will still be visible, basically i only exist because people hate spines.
Or its a melee unit on ground and ranged anti air hehe.

Unimportant of what it is it looks really retarded, and i thought the terran unit was just terrible. Protoss will get a good looking unit and bam balanced, or atleast people won't care as protoss is just so good looking. I still hope they won't remove any units from the game. On the other hand then we would have a reason to stay with WoL as the tournament game . I mean scout (the bw one ) units are okay, they can stick around don't care of the never get used and units fill their roles better.

I really wonder how they can make something good looking out of those shapes though.

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)


Like hellions you mean?

well hopefully its something that can attack while burrowed or some form of unit that can secure map dominance like the lurker did in BW. (I want to see zergs that are able to contain!)

o wait guys i figured it out its okay... It's a long range anti air siege type unit and bliz is removing corrupters. This is the new anti collosus unit it has 9 range and it burrows to attack.

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?


would be awesome.

Roach+Hydra morph in a cocoon by way of upgrade from the Hydralisk den into a Seige-type unit (Maybe shoots acid/similar from underground Lurker-style?)

Hmmm looks interesting... On a side note what's the current guess on when HOTS will come out?

A Roach cannon that shoots Baneling acid or spines. It's most definitely a Roach upgrade.

Heh, I just noticed that the background is a bunch of Creep lol.

Also, is someone going to brighten up the pic so that we can see better details on the edges of the unit? Granted, it probably won't have much of an effect on this unit compared to the crazy Terran unit, but it might be helpful to reinforce some guesses based on subtle textures and features revealed by the brightening.

something like this no? The back part is really interesting, I think it may allow units to be loaded/fired

1 more week until my hopes of a reaver are crushed!
