Forums - PC - StarCraft II: Introducing the Terra-tron

Terra-tron

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.

 
No lion assembly required

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.

 
Don’t mess with the base, young man. You’ll get the horns!

At a recent defense conference, Dr. Volt had this to say:
"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."

Domo arigato!

Oh damn, that's so awesome!
I like clicking on the little "sound" icon. It has some great lines in there:

Merged for Rampage.
Hell it's Morphin' Time.
All your base are belong to us! OoO;

Lol if only, Blizzard was working overtime this April Fool's, with "update" to SC2, D3 and WoW



The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.

I wish this wasn't an April Fool's joke ;_;

Since they made the model, we're likely going to be seeing this and also the Tauren Marine from last years april fools in the game editor! Similar to how we have gotten the models of previous april fools jokes in the game before such as with the Pandaren.

Almost every WC3 April Full model have made their way into the game in some manner. I don't think this will be an exception.




looks like LEGO
