Greetings and Salutations, ladies and gentlemen of our increasingly-frustrated fanbase! The SECRET UNIT guesses keep on coming, and thus so shall the clues! We've had a wide assortment of speculation about the semantics of the word 'frigate' as well as a cascade of verbal excrement from Ryan which has, thus far, managed to completely distract and flabbergast our valued viewers! And despite two clues so far, every guess looks to us like a shot in the dark. They're perfectly helpful - it's just you who doesn't see it!

Ach, vell. But thus, in an attempt to assist your sleuthing, we present you with this -- A VIDEO CLUE!

SECRET UNIT Video Clue

Video Clue Large AVI
Video Clue Small AVI



What do you mean useless? That’s a very useful clue! Man, sometimes I think you’ll NEVER get it.

You may be wondering ‘but IA2 staff, what’s in it for us? Why should we care about the SECRET UNIT?’ Well... I suppose I can let you in on some info. We might be releasing the SECRET UNIT, whatever it may be, in a stand-alone download along with a supplementary space unit it what some might call… a mini mod. Oh yes, that other space unit I mentioned, you get to choose it...

Yes, YOUR CHOICE, another Fan's Choice Poll, that’s what I said. When will it be arriving you ask? Well it will be arriving in a galaxy near you soon!


But wait! We can't have a fans choice if you haven't seen all the units that are going to be in it. So, presenting the Republic Bomber.

NTB-630 Bomber (following description straight from Republic Page)
QUOTE
A fighter/bomber with emphasis on the “bomber”, the NTB-630 is built to withstand ferocious enemy attack and to deliver a punishing volley to enemy capital ships itself. Heavily shielded and armored, the NTB-630 is a heavily reinforced frame in which a full load of proton torpedoes is contained and excellently protected until the payload is delivered straight into an enemy warship’s flank. They are favorites of Republic commanders, and for good reason.

I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Admirison!

You said I was wrong!

I was the first one to say grievous, I P.M.ed it to the captain. I guess he never said I was wrong, but he said to keep guessing.
ASB
now watch, it won't be Grievous laugh.gif

Hand of the Empire
Heh, some "secret" unit... We all knew that Greivous would be in the game. I was hoping for something exciting and unexpected, but... oh well...

Major letdown. dry.gif
Mall Security
So I was right; the first clue was his head, neck, and chest area.

Oh, and keep guessing Mall Security.
Mall Security
... You've got to be kidding me.
Bryant
well, they want people to guess what each clue is.


By Keep Guessing, they mean you havent gotten what that clue was exactly. Your close.
ASB
I'm gonna guess later...but I'm pretty stuck.

Okay, time for an in-depth process I like to call "you people suck for confusing me." laugh.gif

This is a shot of General Grievous's head, neck, and part of what you may call his collar bone from the side. He's looking up, possibly reporting to Lord Sidious.

This is... part of Grievous's chest armor?


Finally, the third is Grievous pulling off the maneuver from his battle with Obi-Wan on Utapau that seems like the perfect thing for people who like grating and melting cheese at the same time.
CommanderNeyo
it could be the grievous's starship or something.


wait! maybe it's the shuttle he's in when he gets shot down, when he's still a kaleesh general, and not a cyborg!

o ya i knew it from the first one i am perty sure the frist pic was the one of the leg joints of general graves
Ryan
I found it funny, I was able to divert all of you from the original clues using these:

Pink/Purple
Frigate

And some more I can't remember.
Darth Andrew
So it was Grievous? I was hoping it was something else.... sad.gif

But hey, the Republic bomber looks very nice! smile.gif I've never seen it before, so where did the idea originate?

Nice update.

Blind faith and lack of caring work their magic so well.
TiJiL
Smiles a lot, too.
CommanderNeyo
so we've been waiting with bated breath to hear that the secret unit is greivous? mad.gif

bah...
ASB
it may not be grievous
Mall Security
He's happy a lot, the eyes do sometimes show his satisfaction. I'm sure if he still had a mouth, he'd smile.
Ryan
Despite the "Smiles alot" the "SuperWeapon" and the "Frigate" clues conflicting with each other, you still believed me.

Oh, and the goodies for Grievous don't stop here.
sigma
the bomber is pretty nice.
Houdini
God, it's either Grevious Flagship the Invisible Hand or Grievous’s Belbullab-22 Starfighter
OOM-911
and we already know invisible hand is in the game and known so its not the secrit unit

probably one of grievous's other items that arnt on the list yet
megarobo11
Maybe his wheelbike? Wait, no.....

Hmmmmm...... huh.gif
Revan57
Maybe its a special ability for Grievous? The Four Arms? unsure.gif
Bryant
Anyway the first clue was grievous' shoulder.


2nd was thie lightsaber


3rd is him attacking


And you will be able to play him early.


Happy?
Lavo
Is it Ki (forgot the rest of his name) the Jedi? I mean the video maybe of him with his fight with Grievous in the Clone Wars cartoons.

Marko Dash

Ryan
Soon....Soon......

Or..when...we...feel that you all deserve it, it's not very likely, after how you all acted.
ASB

Ryan
Nope.

Bryant already said it is Grievous himself.
