I'm just hoping this Unit isn't slow as hell like Broodlords.

Ya, because we wouldn't want Zerg to have their own version of a siege tank. Only Terran can be imba.


You forgetting the part that siege tanks suck.


How do you play tvz without tanks? O_O


I use them, a lot of them, but they're sucky anyways. Siege lines don't impose any respect.

Hmm, it seems like a mutation from the hydra indeed.

Everyone seeing a zerg-siegetank needs their eyes checked out (and then switch to terran).

The bulge on top is obviously a shell/umbrella type protection. This is definitely going to be the zerg armadillo, a 2.5 unit morphed out of a single hydralisks. See picture, and imagine it retracting it's extremely wide legs towards the body too.

[image loading]

I kinda agree with you on the shell part, but then I also fail to see it's role if it's true. If its a zerg armadillo, it doesn't look like its going to be an AA unit. If it's armored range unit, then why make a unit which overlaps a roach? just few more days until Blizzcon T_T

Nydus?



Wait so you think i can build a Nydus in the enemies Base? To get to the other expansion he decided to attack during our base race?

Huh?

Implying that this unit is probably immobile similar to the broodlord

You would have to have the Nydus already built in your other base Then nydus into the enemies base to create a tunnel to your expo hoping he doesn't camp outside your nydus at the expo when he gets there killing the unitd 1 by 1 as they come out...... he is trying to kill and it pumps unit out one at a time first you'd have to be prepared. second your base would be dead by the time it pumps all your units out.

Third you can't send air units into a Nydus

Nydus can get your army across the map but by the time you screw around with it changing your army positions you've already lost your expos

Does indeed look like a more robust hydra morph, maybe hydras will become more viable in all matchups? God please, hydras are the most stylish unit of SC.
Mutation complete.

Its a renamed lurker so they don't have to admit cutting the unit was dumb.

I think it's going to be like this:

I think when it's unburrowed it will take damage as biological and be quite squishy but when burrowed it will be armored and pretty tanky I guess

it's a hydraroach

source

Close enough, but it looks like Blizzard decided to switch things around on us - instead of putting a hydra on top of a roach, the roach goes on top of the hydra. Seems counterintuitive but really it's a genius move: though the roach is larger and heavier, we end up with the armor of the roach on top and the lurker-esque hydra on bottom. Though the hydraroach is a fearsome unit in its own right (and hopefully one we'll see later on) the roachhydra is a unique and potent tool for the zerg swarm.

Unlike the weirdness of the Terran teaser, this looks clearly like a roach and hydra morph into a burrowable siege unit to me. Now THAT would instantly nullify all Terran pure bio options. To be honest, I don't like the concept and I think it will make TvZ more static and boring to watch. Imagine a late game army of broodlords, infestors and that thing, against bio mech. It would make the 90 minute game between Darkforce and MVP seem super fast. Do not want.

Maybe a tier 1 unit that can shoot up. This way there will never be a reason to make Hydras.

You're logic is really flawed, you really don't know how to use the Nydus worm..
