New Terran unit?

The Viking is now build from the Starport, and the Predatorn is cut.
So, I created this topic so that we can speculate around the 'missing' unit.

This unit could be build from either one; the Starport or the Factory.
The Factory, because it has a missing slot, and the Starport, since Terran air probably need something to replace the Vikings old air job (if it was changed due to replacing the Predator with it) /the Predator.

 

i think it will be a AA/AG vulture

 

I wouldnt mind seeing another tank unit.

Or something thats not a hover vehicle, a motor bike a mech or a tank.

 

I'd like them to bring back Stinger jeep that was going to be in SC:Ghost. I think that would be a great fast, light AA/anti infantry, lower tier unit.

 

Here is a picture of a Stinger, for those of you who haven't seen it.

I just found a picture of a Terran airplane that probably were supposed to be in Ghost as well!
It looks bad-ass, and I would not mind if it takes the Predators space.

 

The grizzly was supposed to be a new transport vehicle but, it could be modified into a AoE Bomber.

 

Huh. Wasn't it a drop ship that got owned by a muta, or am I wrong? Or maybe the Grizzly just wasn't in there.

 

The grizzly sounds pretty kool, but we already have enough bombers, and i dont think we need another transport... as for a new terran unit, how about a anti air ground unit. sort of like the goliath, but with a rail gun or something like that.

 

No that was a dropship.

The Grizzly is much smaller only able to carry 2 marines

 

They should remove all the cargo/passenger space and make it ATA

 

I think that the Stinger is a bit too much like the Warthog from Halo, but I suppose that a large ATV transport with a turret mount on the back isnt exactly 'unique', so that would be cool. The only problem i could see is how would it be implemented, like the Warthog in Halo Wars? (new rts) Not very Starcraftish though.

 

It would be an anti infantry raid unit.  Great for hit-and-run attacks against outposts and quick scouting runs.

 

Well what are the possible designs for the new unit? I feel that it's best to come up with a design first, and then you will be able to give it a role that suits the design.
Seeing as it is from the Factory or StarPort, it would obviously have to be either a mechanical ground unit, or a mechanical air unit. Even though most of the designs have already been used, in most cases it doesn't mean that another one can't be implemented.
Mechanical ground unit designs:
Mech - The Viking in ground form is a Mech, but it is limited to a Ground-to-Ground attack. Thor is also a Mech.
Tank - Siege Tank is obviously a Tank, but it is really only used for it's Siege Mode. Tanks don't really seem to work in the StarCraft universe.
Bike - Cobra is a hover-bike of sorts, but it isn't really a classic Bike design, like the Vulture. I wasn't a fan of the bike.
Can't think of any more types of mechanical vehicles at the moment. What else could there be?
Mechanical air unit designs:
Capital Ship - Battlecruiser is the obvious one, doesn't mean that there can't be a second though.
Fighter Jet - Viking in flight form is basically a Fighter Jet
Helicopter - Banshee. I love the fact that Blizzard implemented a helicopter type unit. That is just freaking awesome.
Bomber - Hasn't been used yet. Probably wouldn't fit the StarCraft universe.
These are the only ones I can think of at the moment, but feel free to add more.
One idea I had was like a small, heavily armed space station. It would be like having a static defense that could fly. Probably wouldn't work. It's just an idea.

 

Super Psionic Commando - Spectre - It would be an interesting contrast to the Ghost. Plus, it would look bad@ss.

 

It wouldnt make sense to have a bomber unit, you have Banshee that can Aoe Ground units. The stinger doesnt make sense either because you have the cobras

 

i suggest the stinger-launcher, a small mech that uses a rocketthrower armed with napalm, extra damage versus vehicles and ships, and a debuff if infantry got hit by him

 

A Mech armed with flamethrowers and napalms would be interesting. It would be a sort of front line assault mech. However you don't want it to overlap with the Firebat.

 

it is different. the firebat deals aoe damage for a short range in front of it and cant hit air, this unit, the stinger, can hit air and(revised) can shoot his rockets at the ground to create a small 2 second flame there that damages unitswhich go through it

 

i dont like the stinger. come on 2400 plus years and we get something like that.

i hate the nostalgic "badass" ideas and concepts for units, weapons etc. in starcraft like pistols for reapers and jeepney buggy stingers vehicle, and OMG the tank in sc1 cinemtaic "The ambush". it was bad ass then but not now.

sc2 NEEDS TO BE HIGH TECH to be MORE bad ass. thats why im lovin the THOR and the new marine mech like suit and etc.. ^^

when will blizzard learn? starcraft 3? #($*&. the time is now.

think of innovative weapons NOW for starcraft 2 and NOT pistols for reapers. come on!

 

Dude! Quit mentioning the Reaper's Pistols! I have already explained to you why they carry them. They are cheap because there are many Reapers to equip, and weak because no Terran Commander in his right mind would give a Reaper anything more powerful! Reapers are insane murderers, why would you give them extremely powerful weapons?!
