Expansion Units

[Cotcan]

Now that SC2 is out and we have time to play it, I was wondering what kind of units do you think will be in the expansion. Maybe its a unit that will fill a role that race doesn't have yet. Or maybe its ability to a new unit. I'll make a list here of the units, abilities, etc.

Terran
Lost Viking Upgrade
Orbital drop pod
Diamondback
A dedicated ATA unit (maybe the Lost Viking Upgrade)
Starbase back
ata unit that can take care of light units (the hellion of the air)
Detector unit that isn't the raven (science vessel?)

Zerg
Lurkers and more Lurkers
Bone Wisp (or something like the zergling for air)
Asexual Reproduction
Swarm Curtain
Sunken crawler
Muta Evolution
Brutalisk
Behemoth
Nerfed/scaled down Leviathan
Scourge
Aberration or for post

Protoss
Twilight Champion
Twilight Archon merged between ht and dt
Dark Archon
Toss Spell caster air unit
DT robo/mechanical unit
refractor mode for void ray
Overload back
A New ATG unit
Phoenix to Stalker/Stalker to Phoenix ability
Crusade/Pursuit (Like charge, but helps in speed for cool down and early game)
Tier 2 to Tier 2.5 ground unit

Lurker must come back.

Wasn't something like Bone Wasp for Zerg listed somewhere? I feel like that is something awesome that I want to see. Like a hovering, swarming zerg ground unit. Maybe something that spawns 2 at a time like zerglings.

So when Blizzard finally manages to balance Wol, they have to start all over again with the expansions?? poor blizzard ^^

as said before by someone else on the forum in another thread the level of units is already up around 15-17 for each race and that is what stacraft 1 had after the brood war exspansion so completely new units in multiplayer instead of unit skill tweeks might seem unlikely at this point.

My guess is that they add 1 unit to each race throughout the expansions with other units being replaced with a new unit or modified.

Instead of brand new units, how about unit upgrades?

Terran:

Viking:
"Lost Viking" afterburner upgrade. Viking gains a X% boost to flight speed, but cannot attack in the mode. Requires no energy. 30 second cool down

Orbital Command center:
"MULE MARINES"
Tier 2 to Tier 2.5
Requires Starport with attached tech lab
"Orbital drop pod"
Drops a pod of 5 marines in location
50-75 Energy
Marines may or may not be pernament to balance?

I won't comment on the other races because I do not play them. But I feel this might actually give Terran Air some edge because unless you have large packs, Vikings get destroyed by Phoenix/Mutaisks.

For the orbital drop thing, it's a pretty heavy macro ability. But I don't see it any more strong than the Infestor's ability or a faux-warp-in mechanic. PLus each mule is worth 225 minerals right? Well this is 50-75 energy and non pernament...just sort of like that quick "get some units out".
