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?

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.) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

The detail on the spikes suggests that it's quite large, at least the size of a phoenix, and anything that big doing 360s on the ground would look retarded as anything. 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. It also looks pretty spindly and un-aerodynamic to be a super fast harass unit. So it's almost certainly 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. 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. | ||

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. | ||
