	Seems Karune is giving us some more little tidbits of information, this time regarding the Terrans Jackal and Viking. It seems the Vikings upgrade system has changed and the jackal is now known as the Hellion (Not sure about this name). Viking via Guide Hellion via Guide Currently, the Viking is only benefiting from air armor and weapon upgrades, since it is built from the Starport. These upgrades affect the Viking in both air and ground mode. Source: Battle.net The Jackal, now known as the Hellion, only has the flamethrower weapon. In previous versions, there was a railgun hover vehicle, but that will no longer be in multiplayer. The Hellion is currently one of the best units for "micro" since it is faster than all other units in its tier, and also does splash damage in the form of a line with the flamethrower. Think Firebat on wheels! Source: Battle.net I am the Executor I am Law.

	I think if they're gona rename it Hellion , and take away its rail gun , they should redo the art for it too . If the art was different it could maybe work , being kind of like the firebat and all that . It doesn't look wicked enough to be called the Hellion . Still Hellion is a bit of a cheesy name .. But thinking of it branded with the current art makes it much worse . ... Thinking a bit more about it , I'm really not sure what could be done to design a dainty buggy for that name . I thought Jackal was good , although I can see the reason for changing Terran names around in general . Alot of the Terran names are vaguely reminiscent of one another , & the new ones didn't stand out well , although Jackal was one of the better ones I thought . aka: shlawphlwlunk, crazedrat

	I don't care about the names of the units, I just want the game to come out asap. :D The Viking has a big improvement, now that it doesn't require an upgrade to transform into flying vehicle (which I wanted in the first place). This could open up many possibilities for rushes for the main Nexus/Command Center/Hatchery. I love the idea, I love all of Blizzard's ideas. ;D

	It doesnt ahve to mean a "hell lion". it could be a "hell ion" which is cool. an ion from hell. the viking should just be a starship, anf the thor should become the viking in ground mode. it should look like a dreadnought from warhammer 40k.

	"Hell Lion." "Hell Ion." Hell, What The? What kinds of names are those for units? What is, "an ion from hell"? Agh. I may lament many of Blizzard's decisions in making this game, but I thank God that you aren't involved in it. - saving the world with equal parts lore and logic -
