Thanks Scorpio...
Damn man, I'm SO glad they nailed the Goliath. It's beautiful, my favourite unit.

Bringing back the vulture would destroy the purpose of the reaper, but damn the vulture & goliath are so hawt <3

Both Diamondback,Vulture and new Goliath looks way better than Hellion.
Hellion looks too low tech when you put the other Terran units near it.

I agree, it definitely looks too low tech.
It looks like a piece of weak crap.

Terran stuff is supposed to look low-tech and clunky. A buggy fits right into that, arguably more than a hover-vehicle.Hellion looks too low tech when you put the other Terran units near it.

terra stuff is and was never low tech. Marine power suit alone is super high tech, its just doesn't look new/sleek/clean.
on the other had, the buggy is over the top exaggerated to make the terran look lower tech than the other races. Its a piece of crap. Remove it blizzard. the thing will never make it in sc3 why not remove it now!

No, it's supposed to be high tech, look high tech, but at the same time worn and tough.Terran stuff is supposed to look low-tech and clunky. A buggy fits right into that, arguably more than a hover-vehicle.
The buggy Hellion looks like a sissy's vehicles.

the hellion is just a common looking buggy. fail.
ok, who attended blizzcon here. Please tell blizzard to remove the hellion and come up with something else. Let them read this thread as well. thank you.
yes the hellion doesn't really fit to be included in the terran war vehicle. From vultures to what? a buggy. tsk2.
SOme unimaginative guy in blizzard must have thought of it. why not improvised a buggy and turn it into a war vehicle for the terran ground unit by giving it flamethrowers, it is very terran and badass. crap! thats so random and unninovative. YOu can do better than that blizzard.

Personally, I think the lot of you are just looking at things through a nostalgia filter. Yes, the Vulture here is nice; better-looking than the art in the manual, even. But thats not what is in question here...
All of these claims that the Hellion 'looks dumb' are absurd. It looks just fine; your claims of its inadequacy are your Freudian excuse to justify the 'glorious return' of the Vulture (just look at the proposals in half of the posts of people who proclaim the Hellion "sucks"). However, the fact remains that the Vulture is a dead unit. Its role has been usurped entirely by the Reaper; there is no "replacing" the Hellion with the Vulture at this point--it simply will not fit.
So I'm sorry, but bringing the Vulture back outside of campaign isn't going to happen. If you still have issues with the Hellion, you can lobby for it to be improved, maybe--anything more than that is wishful thinking.
