    i think those axed units are there because if you read the history thing on the colossus, it says they were decommissioned after this one war, so the pitcure might be from that war.

    the marines don't have shields because they do not have the upgrade yet. it's an upgrade to get shields remember?

    Or the person who did the concept art made it in an early stage of development before they axed anything so thats why there are axed units in it. And that what you said about it is just a good after the fact statement.

    Way cool unit, totally reminds me of War of the Worlds in almost every way, especially the part how they are buried deep in asteriods and on moons. I think they did well on this unit, the panning viewport in the front that looks around is really neat. I really wish the bases moved as well, same with the Immortals and Stalkers and old school Dragoons. The legs always point in the same direction, that always annoyed me.

    The terrian looks really amazing! You can see blades of grass as he is walking across the field and there appears to be multipule stories on those temples. I wonder how high you can make those structures. The graphics are more crisp looking than WC3, and the trees look alot better as well. Also looks like the Robotics Facility is back as well, and most likely the Reaver for sure, since they mention it in the description.

    Notice the Marines have backpack units of some-sort? Also I am pretty sure the shields are an upgrade for the Marine as well. It would be awsome if it was just like Level 3 armor or something, cause that would be sick if it changed how your units looked as you upgraded. :good:


    All in all, good job Blizzard!

    i think they will be able to add it into the story line very easily (you know blizzard) they will probably put in a mission where you have to scout and asteroid for them but you run into the zerg or terran and then you have to fight it out with them.

    No it's definitely a dragoon.
    And the reavers don't look near as cool as they used to.

    To be honest, I think it would be hilarious if the Colossus's lasers made the enemies clothes pop off and float down to the earth (like in WOTW! LOL!)

    The Colossus is an insane hulking murderer, did you see how fast it ripped through that group of unlucky marines? And since it can be attacked by anti-air, I believe Goliath production is now in order.

    I don't like the armor-y shell-ness of the new reaver

    but I love the look of the colossus. I couldn't understand what the unit was saying when I clicked on the sound button on the unit page...I can't remember...is it a robotic unit or does it have a driver inside?

    It says its a robotic unit and will be built in the Robotics Facility so i'm thinking no to the driver.
