New Terran Unit! Introducing The Terra-tron

April 3rd, 2009

Yesterday, Blizzard announced the brand-new Terran super unit. Let us proudly introduce the Terra-tron, the definitive assault weapon. Here we are thinking that the Battlecruiser is the ultimate Terran unit, and then this bad boy rolls in. It is constructed from your ENTIRE BASE. After an animation that consumes your entire base, the Terra-tron is born to spread, well, terror.

It is armed with everything your base is made with, so it has no shortage of pure firepower. Being about 100ft tall make life even easier for it too.

The best part about this new unit is that its Blizzards idea of an April Fools joke. What’s startling is how much effort they put into making the Terra-tron. You can find animations and even the unit responses on the official site. Happy April Fools by the way.

Last year, they announced Tauren will be in StarCraft 2.

How awesome is that art?

Blizzard loves their April Fools jokes and makes a point of doing something awesome every year. It’s good to see they can be such a serious developer and have an excellent sense of humor. The official page for the Terra-tron has Domo Arigato for a caption, which is hilarious.
