    i believe this was a SC:ghost unit, it probably wasnt needed as protoss already have 2 early game ranged units.

    Ya see that the thing about this picture.... we really don't know anything about it... at all. Though, if its from SC: Ghost it brings more speculation as to why have it at Blizzcon since they indefinably postponed Ghost.

    Still I would crap myself if Protoss sent a group of these at my base or had to face them in Ghost. :p

    If this is Fenix Reborn I would literally crap myself with joy ;D

    Protoss Wolverine... with cannons. Most potent weapon: Shear badassery.

    Is it possible that it's just crazy artwork for the zealot?

    i hope they include it in the protoss line up. protoss needs that thing to add up another cool badazz unit.

    Well, I know this much if they included a unit like that in the game that would practically sell me on being protoss.

    that is the coolest protoss unit I have ever seen.

    it'd be nice if they at least put that unit in the game as like a campaign unit.

    I'm predicting that if this unit comes into play it would be most likely Mid-End Tier.

    Protoss Avenger

    Builds from Gateway
    Unlocked from Templar Archive
    Size: L
    Cost: 225 Minerals/175 Gas Food: 1
    Hit points: 175 Shield: 75 Armor: 3(+1 For each base armor upgrade) Shield Armor: 0(+1 for each shield upgrade)
    Melee Attack:34(+1 for each attack upgrade.) Ranged/Air Attack:20(+1 for each attack upgrade.)
    Melee Attack: Uses both Psionic Blades on either fist
    Ranged/Air: Uses Pulse Psi Cannon
    Researchable Upgrade:
    Further Psi Pulse: Increases Range of Pulse Psi Cannon
    Psionic Vengeance: Increases Attack Speed of Melee Attack

    The Avenger is a unique distinction amongst the Protoss with the loss of Dragoons and the withdrawal from Aiur the some Protoss Zealots have refined there prowess in the way of Khala to avenge the loss of Aiur to the Zerg. This psionicly enhanced transformation has made the Avenger the second generation of Zealot. Adapted with a distinct Pulse Psi Cannon on his arm the Avenger is a formidable foe in Melee and Ranged(Aerial) Combat.

    Just an Idea(Templar equivalent of the Dark Templar Stalker)

    TerranTemplar, your sig makes me cry.


    I like how it looks like they added that big gun as an afterthought....

    "Yeah, it looks cool....But wanna know what would make it really badass? Throw a big ol' mutha****ing cannon on his arm there. Yeah, there ya go!!"

    protoss avenger. nice name.

    i agree with your idea. you just forgot 1 thing, they should BE BIG! haha.

    uhm yah they should have both GTG and GTA attacks.

    protoss need something like this. coz terrans got a lot of badass units now. protoss units are kinda boring now, so they badly need this one. protoss should get more BIG and badazz units coz they are the most advance in technology etc in all races.
