StarCraft 2: Protoss Colossus detailed

When Blizzard made a ruckus back in the Seoul World Wide Invitational, they also introduced a whole line of new units as rumored by the StarCraft-savvy locals. And after an introductory video covering most of the new arsenal in the Protoss and Terran camps, Blizzard notably stepped up the Xel'Naga-created race for StarCraft II.

One such unit that shoves the odds towards the Protoss' favor is the Colossus. The four slender-legged behemoth packs what is called "thermal lances" - a pair of them. Aided with complex focusing technology, the thermal lances can be concentrated on a single target for optimum effect (bright flashes, pretty lights, and gut-wrenching screams).

The Colossus stands tall over units, creating a immense field of vision and range for the robot. Using its height, it can climb up and down cliffs with ease, while offering a fair amount of mobility for the player. Although it may seem new to the series, Blizzard claims that it was designed as far back as conflicts during the Kalath Incession in Protoss history.

And not only limited for the Windows gamer, Blizzard will also be offering StarCraft II for the avid Mac fan. Another string of panic can be heard across the StarCraft community, after much speculation has arisen following the wake of an as yet unconfirmed rumor of a Beta by the holiday season of 2007 and its alleged link to the Beta key giveaway coming at BlizzCon 2007.
