Would add cool timings with it in all MU's and it would be the thing to focus down  But then again its blizzard so they probably removed mothership/carrier and added this thing that does splash damage from 10 range its flying, can cloak and can be warped in.
Hopefully its some sort of flying reaver :p
Seriously tho... This looks like some sort of fastmoving air unit, probably aa with some spells

Protoss get scourge! :DDD

Whatever it is I can assure you 2 things:
-People will make lame destructible rocks jokes
-People will be angry

yea wow, you can really see everything. It's definitely a ship, and I think it's Air to Ground only like a banshee, see those spikes below? They shoot lighting at the ground, thats my guess.

Actually I think it might be a kind of mule for protoss I mean just look at how the energy is absorbing at the middle like the probe mines
|
it seriously looks zergy too me. i would almost believe it if they used this for the zerg unit.

Flying sentry tht can forcefield the air....
The first thing tht came to mine when i saw it was a corsair, but hopefully it's a unit tht feels the harass role tht Blizzard they were looking to add to protoss.

it's an upgraded interceptor;
that's what you get protoss

I sense some super bias. Speed prisms are not expensive, one with speed cost less then 3 helions+ blue flame upgrade. Protoss has several good harass capabilities. Storm drop is no more risky than any other drop, you have to be keeping track of your drop and you wont lose it.

i was honestly looking more fowards to the dark archon but i guess this works.... if we knew wat it does D:
|
Yeah its probably a fast-ish AtG unit.
It would be cool if it could launch scarabs like the Reaver.
|
Maybe its a hovering ground unit similar to the Diamondback.
It'll get wrecked by marauders

The thing is.. if this IS a spellcaster unit they could just show us the entire model and we still don't know shit what it actually does

Come on Arbiter. Please replace the mothership

Again not to get too much into balance on the new unit speculation thread but the point being that losing 8 marines is much less costly than losing a a couple Templar, so even if a T drop gets shot down or a couple mutas die/get damaged it's still much less risky than losing some templar and your warp prism. Also mutas can be used in a main battle ZvT and medivacs are traditionally used in a main army anyway, whereas warp prisms can't do any of that.

It's clearly a protoss mule.
