GameMeca StarCraft 2 Terran Images

Several interesting images were released via GameMeca’s website, including detailed images of Terran buildings and unit design, four original screenshots and a new Siege Tank concept art drawing.
After receiving much criticism for butchering the design of one of SC’s most original and beautiful units, Karune has confirmed that Blizzard are redesigning StarCraft 2’s Siege Tank, and the design will make its first appearance during the upcoming BlizzCon 2007.

This image appears to be the concept art that the new Siege Tank 3D model will be based upon.

The following screenshot includes two very interesting elements - the top right doodad-looking building is described as

a neutral observatory Terran took control over to get rid of fog of war in area around it

Neutral buildings and mines
If the above assumption true, Blizzard might be implementing neutral capturable observatories just like the ones used in the turn-based Heroes of Might and Magic series.
Among the probes, there also appears to be a small device resembling a mine, which were confirmed to make a comeback in StarCraft2, but it remains unclear whether this actually is a mine.
The following screenshot shows Nuke impact during a massive attack of Zerglings and Mutalisks on the Terran base. It includes two very intriguing structures- the Bar building (If I had to take a guess, this might be some sort of super supply-depot) and what appears to be a defensive Gatling gun structure.

    The new Siege Tank concept art looks awesome.

    Can’t judge until we see it transform, though …

    I’m not sure that is a picture of a mine, although it would be really cool if mines glowed like that. It would definitely be different.

    Anyway, notice that the Banshee is a laser bomber, and that there is a Banshee floating right above that spot. I think it may be an impact crater of some sort. But again, this is all speculation!!!

    Also, the Siege Tank new concept model ain’t that great. Definitely better than ol’ fish lips though, but I think it looks like a shoe with a tank turret on it. The top profile looks good, the tracks placement looks awesome and different, but the side profile looks too rounded. It should have that solid tank look to it. Right now it looks like it can break if it hits a ditch too hard. These things have to be dropped from dropships! lol It looks awesome as a tank, but it just doesn’t look as tough. We’ll see though… this is just a concept!

    But I ain’t gonna complain too much - it is definitely an improvement.

    WoW, that is almost beautiful! This makes me 10x more excited to play the game. I hope the beta becomes public.
