I don't know why everyone assumes it's a zerg unit, it could just as easily be protoss, especially if you're going by how they sounded in BW. Couple that with the weapon we hear and it seems much more likely to be a Reaver. The sound near the start is Day[9]'s overlord impression, that's probably why folks think it's a zerg unit. But clearly it's not just a zerg unit, because there are explosiony, techy sounds as well. Hybrid seems possible, but I'm hoping it's a sound from one new unit of each race (and I'm hoping it'll be Reaver / Lurker / something cool). EDIT: Actually, maybe I hope that there won't be a reaver ever in SC2. The thing that made the Reaver exciting was the utter randomness of scarabs bugging out and the huge damage potential (plus the exciting micro). I think Bliz would rather have a more consistent Reaver...which would make it horribly overpowered, were it to retain the micro potential and huge damage. So damage would get nerfed...to the point where it wouldn't be as exciting. Considering the slightly absurd investment, mid-game Reaver harass will never be viable in SC2 (unless Bliz overhauls the game so that defenders have a more significant advantage). It'll be a late-game tool, which means it won't be as exciting. Or, it'll be part of the deathball. | ||

Whatever they are doing, give Terran the highest range unit again. So annoying to have the slowest army but not the highest range heh. | ||

Well, they did say that there would be some sort of a "zerg siege unit" released with HotS. And then they decided to just not bother with changing the SH to its original purpose with how the metagame developed. | ||

You could be right in saying that it is many units, and some may be right in saying that it is nothing more than part of a cinematic; it's impossible to determine which is correct. | ||

Reasonable assumption; but enough time has passed for Blizzard to un-do any potential damage of the sound clip. It's not one start-up, Blizzard is enormous, and somebody would have been able to deal with it if it was an accident/fake. | ||
