So basically this is what replaced the defunct HERC on the beta. Nothing but a Valkyrie which can 'siege tank' and you need to steer the reticle each time you transform it.
Only thing I want to ask is: Can I comment my thoughts here with your permission, which ZERO of them are in a positive way?
Basically it's micro intensive. You toggle it to morph, like a siege tank, and then you point and click where it'll fire, so there's a chance of missing your target.
/add Doesn't attack structures, I forgot to mention.
One change I definitely heard is that they changed the unit voice, from a Southern Female to a male faux-tough one. And, of course, I and the rest of people didn't like that, for good reason.
Be sure to check out the extension mod: Hots Custom Map support on NA and EU, Despite the name it greatly expands the roster of options for the default 3 races and is updated all the way to NCO.

I like the way it looks at least, kinda like an armored Terran version of the Protoss Scout.
Can you describe it a bit? Don't understand what you mean by "steer the reticle", you need to turn it aim when deployed?

Ohhhh the gimmicks, the gimmicks!!!! It looks loosely based on that Kel-Morian ship from the Hyperion mission.
So instead of just morphing to ground mode or using an ability to target ground it requires both?
Exactly...
Did they update the art for the Cyclone again? I hear this time it's no longer a drone...

I actually sort of like target area artillery in games, this could be interesting. Overall I do not have beta, so I cannot tell from gameplay design.
