I'm okay with this.
Heh, using my previous idea, swap the missile bays into this massive anti-aircraft gun with the space as ammunition case and the other side being a smaller barrel for the anti-mechanical weapon.

Would be cool to have big nasty blocky hunk of metal with tracks going around the whole hull and just a the weapons sticking out. Turrets on top for fast air tracking, but the ground attack at the front with slower turnaround for aiming. Add tactical complexity and micro to the game.
Even the hellion morph should not become 2 legged, get less surface area and protect the wheels more.
wow are we twins because when I first heard "Warhound" I was actually really hoping for a turret on tracks hahaha
pity it didnt happen, though I think alot of people would hate our design more than this
Yeah, wis thinking more of something like this. Big enough for a person of course.

I agree, it literally does look like a giant action figure.
Its shooting animation reminds me of statements like "detachable missile action!" advertised in action figure commercials from the early 90s.
Admittedly, everything in sc2 is a little bit too fancy and frilly (), but this unit takes the cake tbh.

(I get that it looks like previous units from previous games, but that's always going to happen. What about the concept is inherently irritable?)
The model just seems kind of slapped together. I think its probably a unit they fleshed out as a model in the week before blizzcon and are showing it for now but will probably get a facelift in the near future.
