I adjusted the levels considerably for all the detail, and also added a faint blue oval where the cockpit definitely looks to be, but that's all I've got on this one.

Edit: also my first thought was, wtf, flying Ultralisk armor?

Eh I dont really feel air spellcasters are any good, and protoss air is countered so easily by the other races.

i could def see this unit never being used because no one makes stargates (in general early - mid game play, at maxxed sure. but protoss is fine at maxxed.)

Only instead of minerals it mines gas super fast!
Only costs sentry energy too. Forces P to choose between forcefields (help in battle) and gas mules (help with tech/macro)!

Hahahahaha

It's a really peculiar shape for an attack unit...

I guess it's a flying spellcaster ^^

This reminds me of the Pikachu image used for the fake Protoss unit. Tilt it at just the right angle, make it a tad fatter, and you get this.

Ok, that definitely doesn't look like an interceptor anymore.

Maybe it's a flying spiky lightning claw, that latches onto enemy massive units like a magnet, and has a bomb that explodes upon impact? Sort of like hunter seeker missile, except it's a sticky grenade.

You can tell a lot from aesthetics. It's not a hover unit, there's no way. The detail on the spikes suggests that it could be quite large and/or fast, and anything with any kind of size and speed would look completely retarded doing 360s on the ground. It's also unlikely to be heavy a2g; if it was going to charge massive lightning balls or whatever I would expect the arms to be much bulkier.

I'd be surprised if it was a super fast air harass as well; it looks pretty un-aerodynamic, although it does evoke the interceptor, so I don't know.

My bet is a fragile flying spellcaster. I wouldn't be surprised if it had some kind of anti-ghost ability, like an EMP-blocking guardian shield and/or shield battery.

Looks quite small and nimble but it packs a punch, could it be a new carrier interceptor? A siege-er-ceptor?

yea it definitely looks like a weak light-mechanical unit. Whether it's air borne or if it just hovers out of a robotics there is no real way to know. I'm 99% positive though that it uses lightning.

Terran reveal uses flame/ice or whatever that is?
Zerg reveal uses baneling acid or something like that?
Protoss reveal uses lightning?

so some kind of flying unit that heals? A medivac for protoss to help mitigate shield damage? Maybe it's a new warp prism that can drop units and attack.

If you think about it, terran can heal all of their units to max HP within seconds, zerg and protoss are screwed in that regard, they can heal in their own ways but never so quickly or during battle.

looks like some sc2-esque corsair-like unit.

Honestly have no idea though lol.

I don't think those claws are going on a horizontal axis.

Look at the energy arcs from the ring to the electricity orb thing. It looks like the arms of this are going down and around it, not forward.

Not sure what it is, but I don't think people are getting the orientation of the arms right.

Yeah, I am going to guess that this will be an air spell caster, maybe like the arbiter but I am guessing it will be a lot different.
