O-Sky Princess It's a transformer. We are doomed. And not an autobot. Edit: I totally just put that without seeing what it really was. Highfive anyone? lolo The Zerg one has the same hydralisk face/jaw mandibles, but it also has some things that make it look like it has baneling acid sacs along its body... everyone on TL is hedging their bets on it being a siege unit of some sort, which I agree with. If I had to bet... I'd guess it was a roach or hydra evolution.

If I had to bet... I'd guess it was a roach or hydra evolution. I kinda want to learn towards roach more than hydra for one specific reason. Roach is in t1 tech, while hydra is in t2. I see them having it more as a t1 unit upgrade you get in t2, rather than a t2 unit upgrade in t3. (Hydra was in t1 and the upgrade required lair tech in brood war IIRC) But maybe they'll give Zerg more incentives now to tech to Hive faster instead of sitting on lair until they need 3/3 or brood lords/ultra.

yeah that would be good, zerg needs more early game options... and more reason to make roach warren without being ******** by air or something imo <_>
time will tell.

Onos Jubeiz ecstasy frost Jubeiz ecstasy frost Evataph I dunno. It has feet and the left arm looks like it's holding a plated shield, so I'm thinking it's an armored bio unit, maybe a caster.Actually, it being a hellion transformation sounds really plausible, the wheels and flamethrower fit well in the silhouette. I could see it making the hellion a tougher harass unit. yeah the wheels are the biggest giveaway, they realllly match the hellion's wheels. I thought about it... But what even be the point in doing that on a hellion. terran already has 9999 units so giving them another morph/upgrade would make more sense than adding yet another unit to the most complete race but yeah idk, the wheels are too similar though. I'm aware of the whole unit part but ...blah would have rather seen some useful news in there expansion like the removing some unless multiplayer units and replaces them with something else just an example would be the mother ship.. so bad The mother ship can actually be a really huge game changer. But it can be a huge liability if it's not used for the proper situation. It's too situational for it's price. But then again when it is useful, it's worth the price. Too bad it hardly is. Edit- I'm going to go with hellion transform as well. It just seems to fit too well, and would bring back firebats. This kinda makes sense... didn't they just have a huge nerf to the blue flame attack??

I remember they nerfed it a while back after it was over-used in a tourny, but they might have nerfed it in the last patch or so, I don't remember that much =/

Saw that when it came out. Forgot to post about it. I can't wait to see what it actually is. There is so much speculation about what it could be. I'm excited to see what it is, and hopefully they don't remove any toss air units should it be one.
It could really be anything. It could be something like the sentry but for shields (shield battery from sc1, but mobile). It could come out of the gateway but require robo bay maybe, or just cyber core. Or it could come from the robo. Or it could be a flying caster. So much speculation, it's killing me and I can't wait.
What day were they releasing the info on these? Was it the 22nd? God I can't wait.

THEY JUST SHOWED A BUNCH OF THE NEW UNITS ON THE BLIZZCON MAIN STAGE STREAM!!!
Looks like it is a transformed hellion, the new zerg appears to work kind of like a lurker but with broodlord type of attack.
The new protoss flyer has splash damage.
There also was a new flying zerg unit that grabs units like the choker in L2D, some sort of orb thing for protoss that instantly created seige tanks, might act as a duplicate for what you are facing, and another mech unit of some sort for terran.

I can't wait for charging ultras!!
And that new zerg unit that burrows under ground, that is pretty cool, also being able to drag collosus out from behind the stalker ball, oh man, this is going to be intense.
Also looked like there's going to be quite a bit of protoss air stuff going on whats with the thing that drops those blue prisms on top of the mineral patches, at first I thought it was a corsair using the disruption web from BW, but this seems to be a bit different.

I also saw a shapeshift unit. At about 1:40 there are a bunch of orbs that mimic siege tanks to rape marines. Also, at ~1:58, the prisms you were talking about look as if they act like the corsair webs. It would make sense. The ships that flew down looked like dark templar ships. Since corsairs were dark templars... Also. it looked like it c**k blocked the minerals from being mined. Not sure what happened a little bit after that, where rocks blocked the choke for the immortals and colossus.

Ballah. Nice link.
Carrier and mothership are leaving, but they are adding s**t tons of abilities to the nexus, as well as finally fixing protoss air. God damn. About time.
WOOOOOO! ONLY ONE THOR AND IT IS HIGH TIER! ALSO NO ANTI AIR FROM IT! BAAALAAAAH! MMMMM DEM TERRAN TEARS.
Reaper no longer has a building attack, and bcs have engines to go faster. I still hate ghosts =p.
Viper = new defiler. Hot damn. About time they brought back dark swarm.
New lurker is cool. It's called a swarm host, but I don't care. It's a lurker.
"The Corruptor's Corruption ability has been replaced by a new ability called Siphon that allows Corruptors to target buildings and slowly damage them. This damage is converted into resources for the zerg at the same time." WHOA WHOA WHOA!? Wtf? Free money from attacking buildings? Wtf?
" the Baneling has evolved tunneling claws similar to the Roach, which allows them to move while burrowed" WHAT THE ********, the Hydralisk has a new upgrade that allows them to move faster while not on creep." That was in normal sc1, so I'm cool with this.
