I'm going to go out on a limb and say it comes out of the Robotics Facility and is an air support spellcaster.

So, assuming these three unveiled units balance one another out...

Zerg: anti-air ground tank (I'm going to say it's tier 1; zerg tier 2 is completely stuffed and we need a tier 1 anti-air)
Terran: armored mech (probably some updated version of the goliath)
Protoss: It does look awfully like BW Corsair...so if they're adding that in I think that just reinforces my Zerg argument.

I certainly hope it's a replacement to the Phoenix or a specialized Harass unit. Blizzard has stated several times that Protoss lacks a dedicated harass unit and I hope this is their answer.

It's clearly a flying unit that shoots reavers, which in turn shoot scarabs! Duh!

The Reaverlord!

(Unfortunately, its speed is .005, it costs 8000/8000 to build, takes up 20 supply, and you need a fleet beacon, a reaverlord colony, and a greater templar archives. Oh, and if you make one, all your nexuses get destroyed. They can't be regenerated. In an upcoming patch, Blizzard will decide it needs to be buffed, so the speed will be increased to .011. In Legacy of the Void, the Reaverlord will be removed in favor of a new unit, the Carrier.)

Man i would never stop play Toss is if this was real lol and didnt cost 8000/8000

Either way, I can't see them removing the carrier all-together, but it'll probably be made over it anyways.

you don't make carriers against terran, and zerg can neural them, not to mention the horrendous build time + interceptors, and upgrade research.

I want a harass unit for sure, but I definitely don't want the phoenix to be the unit that gets scrapped. I mean, if your gonna take out a unit take out a stupid useless one like the Carrier or take a really boring one like the colossus, why the hell would you replace the fastest coolest unit that protoss has, its only harassment unit and a unit that requires skill?

now, if this is a dedicated air to air unit that has super strong spike damage, where i can graviton beam a unit and one shot it with this bad boy, well, that would just be swell
