- In this mechabellum new units video we are speculationg on what the four new units could be. We have zero information other than the pictures. The units release date is not disclosed but I would imagine they will release somewhat shortly after the new season starts one by one.

It'd be pretty sick if the (Zerg) Overlord was an actual transport unit (or could tech into it)-a flying unit to help get your units get safely in range (maybe even letting them shoot while loaded). The units overall look sweet; excited to see how more unit roles are defined/fleshed out.
The support overlord type, my theory: It seems like it have a lazer beam in the middle, maybe it will slowly move above a target and fire the lazer straight down, like in Indenpendance day.
Yeah I had the same thought. And some auxillary small guns on top
Some SC2 vibe. Looks interesting, hope devs will find good place for them.
I think the first one is going to be a shotgun like unit, maybe a chaff unit or a 200 flanker
The overlord will probably be either a big unit, maybe a flying hacker or a support
the ring flyer is probably a hovercraft like thing, probably sniper but faster and shorter range
Last one makes me think of the banshee from sc2, maybe a flying stormcrawler
The first one looks like it can turn into artillery, and the toes can flip down into the ground.
ohh thats true
Yeah, I feel like the spike on the back legs goes into the ground and the cannon points up in the air in a siege mode.
My thoughts on the 4 units:
Top Left: Probably a medium unit that only shoots ground, not much feelings about it
Top Right: Probably a giant flying unit that is highly specialized like the hacker or something where the upgrades really help support other units. Definitely the most interesting looking unit of the 4.
Bottom Left: Not much feelings, it looks like a Starcraft medivac
Bottom Right: Looks like something that flies and does high damage but low DPS, but we already have the phoenix so I wonder what it will be.
The "cruiser" part leads me to think that support cruiser could be a pack of a single large unit, similar to the battle cruiser from sc2. Battle cruiser also shoots many beams. Could be a 3x3 flying mini giant
@SurreyEZ Regarding your qestion on "Support Cruiser" A support unit in Military warfare is not allways support like in computer games.
Example: Supporting fire can be artillery that makes way for ground units. Air support bombs from the air. Battleships that have a support role protects the carriers from fast enemy attacks. None of them have auras or healing abilities like their computer game support counterparts.
Love your stuff
I wonder if the support cruiser, might be like a flying healing stormcrawler? We havent seen that yet. Healing would be an odd mechanic, but we dont have any healing "attacks' yet, just regen from hit and on attack. Seems likey at least one unit might have some sort of spread healing attack.
The 2 middle weapons being a little different gave me the same idea.
The spherical flying dude with tiny legs is basically an starcraft overlord ripoff, i wouldn't be surprised that its a psi unit, the quad mech is like a bulldog AT AT from star wars, the big ship, which is the bottom right pic, i am 100% sure is the flying titan they already mentioned months ago would be included, like a war factory but with wings, and the other ship seems like a valkirye from warhammer 40k or a banshee from sc2,probably an air to ground jet, would be cool that is a stealth fighter, not like a phoenix, which is a supersonic jet.
Lol that sounds so believable to me I would be surprised if you are not right 😂
I don't see the laser cannons on the flier. It looks like it has missiles in a conveyer that takes them to a launcher at the bottom of the wing. The things on the front are a split cockpit.
I think the zerg overlord could either be like a hacker unit specifically for air units or like a flying multi role support unit dropping oil, acid, fire and also capabilities like anti-missile, or even against like orbital strike and those satellite missiles.
A hovering giant unit like the one down left could be fast and because of the hovering immune to oil, fire and acid like, which is also true for a small hovering unit with rockets. The dog robot unit could be a sniper unit with an anti-chaff capability.
The first one i think will be a mustang like unit who walks over small units maybe an upgrade for a cannon which focuses giants first.
The second i hope is an abductor or something. Like lowers to grab chaft then riase up and use material to build wraiths or something
Top left (dog)
It looks like a flanking unit, similar in size to the Fire Badger (3 to 5 models). Maybe they have technology that allows them to reposition themselves. They could potentially have mobile beacon technology that you can unlock, or that is integrated into their repositioning technology.
Top right (overlord)
This gives me the vibe of a wraith or a hacker; it looks alien. It might be a control/support unit. I could imagine it having a degenerate beam. It might provide an effect similar to a portable shield for allied units, but much weaker.
Bottom right
I’m not sure what to think about this one. Maybe it’s a beam unit? Possibly something between Steelballs and Melting Point?
Bottom left
A medium flying unit (3 to 5 models). It might function similarly to overlords but at a lower cost and more damage-focused.
i have been waiting for a ground unit with "jump drive"
Cobrak mentioned the amount of detail on each of them, and I think he was onto something relating to the size.
Blimp guy should be air chaff. It su1.cid3 explodes for damage on enemy units
It drops flame or acid when it explodes (upgrade)
I find the text “Massive strength of large number mechs” on the second unit image interesting. I interpret it as potentially referring to strength through “a large number of mechs.”
I think it supports the idea of the unit being a single model that provides an aura buff, thus increasing the strength of “A large number of mechs.”
Although I think the silhouette of the model works as a giant unit, I personally think it resembles a gnat, mite, or similar small bug. I could see them as a swarm of little flying buff/debuffers, the guns look measly at best.
The bottom right model reminds me of the Protoss Void-ray from SC2. To me the majority of the armaments looks like antenna, though there certainly seems to be significantly sized laser cannons on the inside of the wings that I could see functioning similarly to the Melting Point.
I think it would be a huge error in design if the dog models do not operate in large packs. Although the armaments seemingly indicate it isn’t a chaff unit, I think having them in units with a small number of models would really detract from the feel of the unit.
I have few thoughts on the final unit. It appears as little more than a slightly tooled up wasp. Perhaps they will call it a hornet. What the fuck is that garbage.
Top right guy is a floating war factory.
Second unit feels like a mind control unit but flyer
I hope we get more small 100 cost units. It's the only category that hasn't gotten any new stuff.
Ya it's weird how there's, generally speaking, only two chaff units and I build multiple of them every game
1:08 reminds me of primarily of C&C4 GDI "mastodon" and has a bit off an AT-AT of star wars
Yes! Its reskinned model
I feel like the first unit might turn out to be a new swarm unit like fangs and crawlers since they are under represented right now. Maybe they are fast like crawlers but shoot like fangs. If they can't shoot up and they are a tier 0 unit they would still be different from mustangs. Could also be a medium unit but we don't know how zoomed in the pictures are and I feel like we have so many medium units already.
They are too detailed to be swarm units imo
The second unit looks like it would move slow and use an energy beam, similar to the card, as it moves across the battlefield.
"Any information whatsoever".... except Bearlike interview revealing that there will be a flying type titan. So maybe the big balloon type is the new titan.
1 looks like artillery to me, trying to get a read on size. bottom right looks like it has a cockpit. are the units supposed to have pilots? is there a human scale comparison? top right def looks like a giant to me, potential beamer. also looking fwd to more chaff. was hoping for a support chaff unit. guess we'll see
i think all should be autonomous robots
Support could easily be fire support.
The overlord looks like a new hacking unit. Maybe aoe hacker?
they dont like the hacker mechanic and are waiting to remove the unit from the game
1:55 air Hacker? would be funny :D
