I just know I'm not looking forward to seeing what it is.

It's a ground unit that comes from the robo. It hovers at a speed of 5.8 and can jump un and down cliffs. The razor-like edges mow down workers in one hit on its path.

Seriously though, another spellcaster or another air unit make no sense, so I guess they will remove a stargate unit (possibly the phoenix, since this looks like a "light" air unit) and replace it with this. What it will do, no clue


I agree with your first idea, joking or not. People say P would get a harass unit right? I see that as a flying unit but not like the phoenix or VR but like the vulture, so it would be a ground hoovering unit.

I like the fast, cliff walking stuff and then: splash damage!...like a ground corsair to kill those poor scvs and drones and lings and marines and....wtf....maybe this is not such a good idea :O ^^

Well this is my take on it and if it turns out to be true, then this is clearly the coolest of the 3 units because the other 2 seem fishy at best =/



Yeah, I agree that Toss need that, doesn't mean that Blizzard agrees though, and they could be right actually. Already, Warp Prism sentry drops are incredibly strong and can kill like 10 workers or more with no great risks, since they come pretty early. Anyway, I was already appaled when I saw the Zerg unit, if it is indeed a siege unit, cause I don't want to see every match-up turn into a TvT, that would kill my interest in the game personally.

This looks like a Stargate unit, but could be a hovering robo unit as well. Also, it's pretty obvious to me that this unit uses warp technology to an extent. It has no visible "turret" or similar firing means, every other Toss unit has that, it's just "spiky" and clearly has a warp in the middle. It's not unthinkable to me that Blizzard might remove the Warp Prism and replace it with this unit, which will have some sort of extra functionality.

I sure hope its not a muta like unit. But I think it'll be a raven like air unit.

Looks exactly like the soul hunter from the alpha. Also, at 2:00 you can see a reaver in that video =D


Wow, that is pretty funny, protoss lost arbiters, reavers, dragoons, shield batteries, from bw and NONE of the protoss units in that video made it into sc2. Surfers, tempest, phase cannons, twilight archons, wonder why they bothered making all that stuff then decided not to use it?


Because they were bad? :D

Boy was I sad when they removed that ability of the phase cannon. Thought it was so cool. But really makes more sense on zerg i suppose. And cannon rushes would've been more annoying.^^

It's an Ultralot, obviously. It's the protoss unit the brood turned into the ultralisk. Massive, massive psiblades. Terrible terrible damage, walks through own FFs without destroying them.

Either that or an upgrade to Carriers.

I don't think it's a flying unit, it looks like something really fast which would overlap with the role of the phoenix too much. I think it's the replacement for those hovering Soul-Hunter guys Protoss used to have in alpha, it can cliffjump and take out clumps of units with a lightning attack. It looks vaguely like to the weapon they used to hold.

We all know blizzard is noob friendly so they decided to make a flying unit shooting scarabs without the reaver.

The problem with this theory is that the preview image show that the new unit is way too high-poly and high-detail to be a Shuriken or any other Interceptor relative.

it's clearly a gateway unit to hardcounter ghosts, but the image is only the weapon of the unit, let me clarify:

I prefer the look of those other carriers [tempests], I really hope blizzard swapped out the normal carriers for them.
That aside, the rest of it was pretty average.

I really hope it's not from the Stargate but rather comes from the Robotics and is some Helion-like harass units which glides and is super fast. Please please.
