(maybe even aoe-anti-gravity? bring down a pack of mutas and colossi-lazor 'em) I like this idea a lot. Micro involved and it's fairly unique! | ||

My money is on it being one of the aforementioned toss units, though I can't recall the name of it :/ | ||

I mean the units for the other races seemingly morph or transform it only makes since this one does also. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/au1vc.jpg) This picture shows key features of the Phoenix that could change into features on the new unit. The wings simply bend forward to create the more arched look of the new units "wings". The cockpit area of the phoenix slides back when it changes into the new unit. The area circled in red on the phoenix changes into either of the sets of red circles on the new unit. The area boxed in orange on the phoenix folds down into the area circled in orange on the new unit. This is possibly where the weapon is housed. The yellow circle on the phoenix spreads apart into the yellow circles on the new unit. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vdfdh.jpg) What does everyone think? I think that it's not a transformation but rather a Protoss art design trend. Like all Zerg buildings and units have some kind of spikes or claws incorporated in their design so you can imediately recognize something Zerg, Protoss also have certain aspects that make you acknowlegde a protoss unit or building only bylooking at it. The curved lines sometimes forming a claw shape are part from it. For terran I would say that the angular metal and mech approach defines the design. | ||

To balance the unit's utility these abilities will be given 0.5 sec cooldowns.  And also you can make only one per game and only if you have two motherships simultaneously. Perfectly balanced. | ||

Corsairs would make it easy to counter the terran 1-1-1 tank push by preventing tanks from even shooting to begin with. I hope its corsairs because they were so nice! | ||

Considering the Sentry and the Probe, it having no legs doesn't prove it is air. Also, the bottom of the three spike like things on the bottom of the thing are parallel to the ground, which would make mor sence for a ground Unit. I HOPE it is a small, fast ground-unit for harrasment, maybe even a cliffhopper, but there are no hints for that in the design. It may also be a caster/shield battery, but i think it looks too fast for that. Another considerable option: The thing is fucking huge, ultralisk size, ground or air: for that theory speak those little energy-blobs coming from the "arms" to the ground, they kinda hint to a chargable attack | ||
