    World domination and annihilating planets? Seems to fit pretty well. :cool:

    The basic Liger Zero. The problem is that it looks completely different once you remove the spikes...

    May i suggest moving it away a bit from animal and more towards robot?

    For example, remove the mouth/face and put a face plate (or something) there, remove the tiger looking claws and replace them with robotic feet/claws.

    This would be quite cool for a fast scout "kbot", specifically designed for moving very fast like a cheetah.

    Only if we get the Cybrannosaurus Rex.

    Sorry, as cool as the cat image that Jessep posted is, I don't feel it fits in with the PA style.

    Well if you expect to take the image and exactly recreate it yeah, but there is nothing stopping someone from taking the say the proportions and creating a design in PA's style.

    Okay, I'll concede that if it were done in a similar manner to how the Fidos were designed in TA, then I wouldn't have an issue.

    +1 to Cat like units, commanders and all all non bipedal units.

    After all there were Fidos, Spiderbots, and a whole bunch of K-bots with different walking patterns.

    I would prefer a canid commander, since they're much bulkier than felines in general, and if you need to be fast, well, there's foxes.
    Then you could have a lizard type that can move up and down cliffs easier.

    What? there's planety to see if you're willing to expand your horizons! ;p

    In fact, Jessep! Here's a concept made from LEGO because it's been really quiet at work today!



    I might have gone a bit overboard with the weapons! xD

    I'm not so sure about a cat "commander" since in my mind, the commander has to be a bit more versatile than that, and opposable thumbs are kind of important in that regard.

    But cat units in general? I'm all for it. I would be especially interested if a little bit of extra effort was put into this idea to design suitable animations to enable these units to literally pounce on enemy units. Melee units in general are a bit of a neglected breed in the TA/SC/SC2 universe. I'm all for it if they make a reappearance here.

    Only if we can get a penguin commander, you could activate it's rabies attack in order to cause massive amounts of damage before it had to return to a herd of engineers to repair it. Mind you if it's not a herd then the penguin commander won't heal because there's no herd mentality in 5 engineers as opposed to 500.
