So the new teaser for the HOTS Protoss unit is here!

(hot off the press!)

I presume that it will be a late game unit as the two other teasers do not look to be Tier 1 units.

So what do you think it will be and what role does it take to compliment the Protoss army?

[Ascel]

Looks like an air unit to me :\

[cottonmouth.891]

I was just about to post something. def a air unit like something from Sc1 :P
its going to kill my Ol's

[DrPleasure]

Mmmm, Protoss have a pretty good air force already,

The wings make it look like it could be a 'air caster' type unit since Protoss have a pretty good airforce already.

I was thinking it's air too, but what if it's something like the sentry. but it looks a lot like an air unit.

The structure effects looke like it might work like a more souped up phoenix, which would be sad, cause they might be forced to remove the phoenix, and it was one of the better new units.

Or hey, it could be a protoss mule.

[crAzerk]

It looks like a Scourge from SC1 actually haha

[Snod]

I think that it'll be an 'earlyish' game air to ground harrass unit, fast moving, probably decent damage to light units, to give toss a bit more of a harrassing option besides getting 4 Phoenix or warping in all over the place with a warp prism.
I believe Blizzard said somewhere that they believe Toss need a unit like that.

[sRFullstop]

I don't think it's air because Protoss has enough air already. I think the "wings" are actually arms, and the unit walks on the ground rather than flies. It could be a Protoss Hellion type sort of thing.

Infested Phoenix

from the TL Forums :
It only does everything. Protoss imba!

[nirvAnA]

its a collosus interceptor that flies in and out of the collosus head which only attacks air.

With adjusted levels.

That looks a lot like an air unit now...pikachu is piloting it . This unit does make them look like orcs in space.

About time someone mentioned the Corsair!

Still I like the idea of the rock maker

[Dracover]

I actually thought it looked like a corsair.

I will put my money on some kind of air (because it looks like it) harass unit. Bowler has said many times that he thought toss was was lacking in early game harass when questioned about balance and I suspect this is what it will be.Though having said that it will have to be more early game then say a phoniex so not sure how that will balance out...

well.. earlier than Phoenix cause you need alot of phoenix to effectively harass... but still.. stargate tech harras.. :-(
Not a fan of stargate tech personally.. maybe this unit will have more protoss users going for stargate tech tho... It seems all Blizzard patches and what not are just about making the things that no one uses better.. and the things everyone uses worse...

[inFeZa]

My guess is a fleet beacon spell caster its the only thing that would work in a stargate sense because corsair is too similar to pheonix and they don't want a unit that will make another unit less used

[Zanderax]

I reckon it is a warp something. Like the Nydus network for Protoss but mobile

[Intoccabile19]

The new Protoss Drone! it works like a mule. They can warp in a Toss Drone (from the nexus) over a mineral patch and nothing else can mine form it. However the TossDrone doesnt have to make the trip back to the base. It just warps the minerals back to base! but it only lasts so long.
