For blizzard to have revealed the infested bunker WITH an animated gif LONG before any HotS news was out from blizzard just goes to show it was a joke unit and wasn't anything serious. I just can't wrap my head around the thought that blizz would release a unit to the public very far before any HotS news and then bring it back as a silhouette and expect us to be wowed. | ||

This unit looks very similar to the silhouette shown by Blizzard today. This is just a custom mod unit, but could Blizzard have taken this and changed it in their own way? What do you guys think of this? This video was suggested by Reddit user Actually_Doesnt_Care | ||

Recoloured to match the Hydralisk and with a few of my ideas on abilities. I envision an acid blob being lobbed across the battle field. Maybe slow enough to dodge with stim or blink. I'd also like to see it capable of a bombardment ability where the player can target an area and set the unit firing indefinitely. With a few of them together, you could create a curtain of artillery fire and nicely control the battlefield. Obviously it would be capable of friendly fire... ![[image loading]](http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4056/zergunit2.jpg) Awesome simply awesome idea !! I would love this unit for zerg !! A siege unit with an AoE attack that can only do it in "siege mode" and maybe off siege has the attack and speed of a hydra. I guess it would follow pretty much the same principles as the tank needing vision to fire and having about 11 range when sieged and 8 when not. It reminded me of those massive worms from Starship Troopers I think that shot the aircrafts and spaceships in the middle of the battle. Since Blizz kinda made acid the them for zerg (roach, banes) then a hydra morphing in a siege unit that shoots a blob of acid that has good splash dmg would be awesome but I fear this plus infestors might be too powerful ? | ||

Might we have some kind of Kog Maw-esque unit ? | ||

Has 2 modes, siege mode, in which it only burrows its claws underground to get a firm position, firing globs of acid out of it's built in cannon similar to the effect that Banelings have when they die. It can also burrow fully underground and shoot up with it's cannon as a form of anti-air. | ||

If this baneling cannon or we it is can burrow, I'm all for it. If it can't, I don't see this unit being very useful without destroying what zerg is. If you can just sit and protect it while it reigns down hell on some area on the map; that's not zerg, and I'd hate to see zerg become terranish. | ||

It looks exactly like what this is... a burrowing unit that can infest/acquire a bunker for additional armor. | ||

The ground attacks can only be initiated only when burrowed and air attacks unburrowed. The unit would probably have the movement speed similar to that of the hydralisk but in a more extreme extent. For example, walking on land with half the speed of the hydralisk as well as burrow movement, and double movement on creep walking/burrowing. I guess for the concept of the siege tank-ish aspect everyone mentions would be similar to that of the mutalisk, the "Glaive Wurm". Attacks could possibly be glaive wurm-ish with piercing armor attributes. I think the name of this bad boy should be the Gravelisk  | ||
