BC2009 Sc2 Single Player Video: Colossus beams from giant Zealots?

[Rizhall]

IIRC, Colossus was supposed to be the only mechanical unit MADE for destruction by the Protoss, according to lore.
So are these just special Colossi with a special protective casing in homage to zealots?

[Praetor_Ixab]

i can see them making a giant version of all of the tier 1 units. zealot is done. how about a zergling that drops banelings every few seconds? or a marine with a LAZERSAW, ULTIMATE WEAPON OF THE UNIVERSE!?!?!!?!?!

[Norfindel]

I don't like those zealot. It's too corny. I just don't see Protoss making defense mechanism like this.

I think it's ok. I definitely can see the Protoss making traps to protect their temples. It's more interesting than just throwing a few Colossus there.

and ... Tal'darim? Loregasm...

They're mentioned in the game? *loregasm* o_o

They may incorporate Colossus technology (eg the beam emitters) and seem just as ancient, but they themselves are definitely not Colossi.

Hey, during the lava portion of this video, does anyone know what those little glowy bug things are that burrowed near that entrance top right after the lava started rising, and then unburrowed and left after the lava went back down?

They are larva crabs. They wait till the larva is gone then go down to the plains to feed.

Instead of going for Rines in that "artifact mission" I build Rauders with Medics.
In that evac mission, I build bunkers and missle turrents where overlords poped out, trying to spread creep.

Alright, I've been seeing people doing this a bit. What's with the spelling of turrets as turrents? Is it just a misspelling? An inside joke?

On topic: I do like the giant zealots, but too much of that kinda stuff around would make it seem very unoriginal. Although, just for fun, I'd like to see a giant baneling that takes up 1/8 of the map rolling around, crushing everything.

[PsiWarp]

All I can say is these Zealots need Uberlisk's death spirit bomb.

I was under the impression they were Protoss-designed fortifications... y'know, given that it's a protoss colony defend by... uh, protoss.
