Terratron New Unit

When i first saw the terra-tron, the first thing that came to mind was a can opener
im dead serious

its mostly cuz of the circular blade thingy

 

lol. I thought you said a can, then you said the blade. The terra-tron is just a joke from blizzard for April fools day.

 

Its still insane. I KNOW its buildable.

Sweet boss monster for RPGs and stuff.

 

I wished that the unit really was real. It would make for some interesting UMS games.

 

Ya but it's a April Fools joke. But it would be cool if it was in the editor. That's all I ask for about it. But you are right it would be pretty cool boss monster for RPGs. But it would be really hard to kill.

 

i want this.

 

That thing looks uber yes uber COOL!

 

Ya. I hope it's in the editor, that would be fun to stick in a map.

 

hmm in the video which the terratron goes crazy in the city, i managed to notice a yellow car/jeep/vehicle moving behind it. So after seeing it in a lot of screenshots i guess the thing can move as well. But seeing as it moved through the terratron and the thor i guess it could be a doodad.... a moving one?

 

Well from this I guess we can see that there will be setting based in cities. Still think they should of had a Godzilla like unit for the zerg.

 

the mind boggles.


I do believe that i have heard blizzard talk about map editing briefly. If this terra tron represents the power of the editor i do believe that we will truly have something revolutionary brewing. Especially for those UMS fans.

Could you imagine? Blizzard sets out 1 pre-fab model for each race. The models have pre-set animations/requirements but are made out of the players primary and advanced base structures. The structures can dismantle 3 ways. T organized, P small random spread, Z Large random spread.

The protoss photon canons fuse onto the nexus that hovers slightly off the ground with the citadel of adun afixing itself as the bridge of the base-ship." The hovering superstructure is so large it is unable to scale a mountain and travels between ramps very slowly. It makes it to its desired location, and begins to dismantle.

creep colonies slither down towards the hatchery which sprouts long tentacles and slowly moves towards the units of the hive, scaling up the cliffs consuming hydralisks and plucking both friendly and enemey units from the air. The new, now much more aggressive looking hive begins to gain health but also lose it faster as it moves, requiring more units for structures to stay above 5000 hp.

The terrans build 4 bunkers and land the command center on top of them, it tears them from the ground and now hovers slowly headed for its new base where it will extract minerals and gas. 3 banshees land close and transform into heavy anti ground turrets while 2 newly completed structures add them self in defensive fashion.


The structures HP would be based on the ones used to build them, along with their abilities and stats, such as detection or shield regeneration.

lol this could be so awesome, because the builds for the super-structures would be totally varied and based on individual preferences, to extreme..... Heavier structures would decrease the movement speed, while certain structures were required to grant movement or attacks. haha, could be so fun in my mind.

With "balancing" aside, i believe this would be the ABSOLUTE COOLEST thing ever.

 

Its not based off Transformers btw. Its based off of voltron. look in the description for proof of this lol. Anyways it probably will be in the editor just like the tauren unit but my god will that be one hell of a unit to fight against.. It probably has like a 10 million hp and god knows how much damage.

 

That dragonlisk would be awesome. Well maybe without fire-breathing. How about a Cthulhulisk?


Btw does that Terra-Tron shoot reapers out of its mouth?

 

Cthulhulisk?

and no, reapers come out of this hanger bay in its belly

 

/\ Transformers style, a bit like Soundwave.

 

I went to the sc2 website and one of the things the terra tron says is "im more than meets the eye" which is transformes but it transfromes like voltron so its two things being ripped off of

 

It's a parody, not 'ripping off' anything.
I have my doubts as to whether it will work fully as a unit in the editor, it's animations look like gimmicks as it wasn't actaully attacking anything. :/

 

Meh, maybe it can fire the planetery fortress cannon or something. -with an upgrade- I think it will be pretty easy to make that work in the editor.

 

The Terra Tron is freaking awsome It would recreate the term - rush and make it so much more fun and different, but the terra tron would have to be treated like a hero unit, or if it can be made en masse then the other two races would have to have a super unit like this one right? and if so what would it be?

 

i hope the new unit will be permanent
