A while ago the Thor was demoted to anti-air duty, today Blizzard announces the new backbone of the Terran army, the Terra-tron!
Blizzard wrote:The Terran military has always been known for its superior base-defense capabilities and constant drive to improve its fortification technology. Take, for example, the newly developed Ares planetary fortress and Crucio siege tank, or the heavily upgraded Broadsword missile turret. A few of these alongside some bunkers packed with marines provide a solid wall of armor, neosteel, and firepower to repel any threat, alien or domestic.
But over the course of a prolonged defense, even the most hardened armor will crack; missiles and ammo will be depleted; and the toughest troops will be worn down. To create a truly comprehensive defense for high-priority, mineral-rich regions such as the volcanic uplands of Redstone, the terrans needed to devise an entirely new concept in battlefield strategy. Terran military engineers, led by Goraion Systems' head of development Dr. Ron Volt, have been working day and night to design a new kind of base for the terran armies: the titanic Terra-tron.
Power cells up; Terra-Tron is go!
Dr. Volt wrote:With the use of magnetic flux generators and through some simple modifications to our existing building schematics, we've found we can utilize structures that already exist in our bases to assemble the frame of a siege-class combat walker—a construct that some of my colleagues insist on calling the Terra-tron. The Terra-tron is best deployed as a last-ditch effort to hold an important location on the grid. Currently the cost of operation is a bit of a problem, as energy conduits and pipes become dislodged or severed and leave dangerously exposed electrical wiring, steel framework, and sewage systems. However, let me assure you that we are working diligently on new waste-containment systems that should eliminate this problem and get our buildings back up to code in the near future."
We also got some screens of it in action, terrifying . We can also see some of the new city-tileset.
"Hell. It's morphing time"? hahahaha In my country we dont have this april fool's day, anyway, it never seemed to be true. Hopefully, I have to add. By the way, has anyway heard all the sentences? I was trying to find some clue about release, beta or whatever (too paranoic, I know), but my english is not that good.
