    i doubt it, although if placed wrong units could get through supply depots in the first one.
    although it hardly matters because

    TWILIGHT ARCHON STILL SMASH!!!!

    That does touch me on a bit of the odd side. I don't really see why Bliz would suddenly slap legs onto them. Personally, I would be happy to see them phased out in the later stages of SC2's creation.

    People finally began to see the error of your ways. The new reaver looks more robotic/toyish. The robotic part = good the toyish part = bad. Terran buildings have nice shape but need some work on the texture. Personally i think they should make all buildings square or give you the option to rotate the building. With addons, you should be able to drag the layout around the building.

    Yeah, I guess they do, but for some reason I always just viewed them as having a partial lower body and then floating around ;D. Weird how ideas like that form over time.

    well they did float around but they still had legs (just like the reaper now...)

    ZOMG it went up again!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

    I just hope they still have that same kick-ass attack sequence (attack animation, w/e) that they did in SC1 and can still attack air, which I couldn't imagine that they wouldn't.

    yeah where they put up their hands and shake them around as if they were grabbing someone and shaking them around

    Wow. I'm starting to worry that Blizzard has NO originality. Look at the twilight Archon and tell me thats not just an Infernal with bigger shoulder guards and a blue flame instead of green.

    Haha yea, I thought the exact same thing when I sam them for the first time. For me, it's not that bothersome that they have legs, just that they are much more noticable than they were in SC1. Also, I guess its just a personal preference (aesthetically) to see Archons floating rather than walking.

    the archon actually looks more like the original archon than an infernal...

    I personally think that the Twilight Archon looks beyond awesome. I remembered when I first saw it at you.tube, I was basically shocked at how cool it looked. Yes, it may look like an Infernal, but Infernal were also cool looking units. Besides, if people are comparing units, we should all compare every single units that are similiar to other franchise. Because most of the units in the SC2 world have some similarities to other franchices like games/movies and etc...

    It was really hard to see archon's legs in SC1, but dark archon, it was virtually impossible. You could see that there's a little something going on down there with the dark archon, but you couldn't tell what.

    I can't wait to see what the color of the Twilight Archon is going to be for the different colors

    Is the energy cloud/field thing going to change depending on the player color do you think? or will the cloud always be blue and his body change color?

    That might be a cool effect for team colours. If the twilight archons cloud changed colours. Good post Nikzad. I'd power you up but I dunno how.
