You can find it here.

Though perhaps not as interesting as earlier casts when it comes to the sections regarding Starcraft 2, it does however share some information regarding "unit-roles" and "morphing" in the F&Q -part.
It also features a screenshot of the nullifiers attack (Bottom of post).

Oh, and by the way: DID I HEAR...A NEW UNIT?

Karune: Are there any other units or anything that the public hasnt already seen as far as with Starcraft 2?
Dustin Browder: Thats probably whats coming up next: the flying two headed ultralisk that breathes fire will be on the website next.

The answers were pretty much the same in essence. Not much new info.

The new unit portraits however are cool.

Is the heavy metal rocker/truck driver dude the unit portrait for the Thor? If so, awesome men.

The Zealot, HT and banelings are already perfect. No more worries there.

As for the marauder and mutalisk its OK , but imo it can be better still.

As for the nullifiers attack, yeah they kinda "stand out" in a strange way.
But it said here that those nullifiers are performing an ability rather a standard attack. Don't know if this is true

Note Karune said on the Forums that the thing north of the immortals and east of the warp prism is the new Xel Naga observation tower. I knoe its not that much but Karune noted that its much cooler if its animated.

Voltron unit? 2 headed flying ultralisk that breaths fire? What are they talking about?
Are they serious about this or they are just joking?

I agree that there's not much new info, but the unit portraits look uber. I like the heavy metal dude (hopefully the Thor portrait) the most, just like Sam.

I believe they're just joking. However if they do appear in the campaign then they'll be UBER.

Hell, it's about time...

Hm.. If the flying Ultralisk is in the game, then Protoss is in big trouble. Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure

Would be a very fun unit =) I think if they were to put it into the game it would probably be a singleplayer unit only.

I will not beleive this to be true, I guess it's a similar thing as they tried with April 1st when they introduced the Tauren Marine.

Meaning it might just be a usable unit in Stardit??

Lol, Ultralisk with two heads...sounds like a Chimera lol. Nice find, and the whole Blizzcast thing is pretty sweet. I gotta have more time for it later, but it sounds neat with the information. I cant wait for more unit portraits!

Lol, about the "Voltron made from all terran units & vehicles", and the "flying 2-headed Ultralisk that breathers fire", that's probably sarcasm by Didier & Browder... xD....

Nice Blizzcast Episode, many things revealed. I specially enjoyed the new portraits... the Thor's just look badass! >:D
