Yeah, well I bet while it would look hilarious at first to see onos bowling marines off, that wouldn't do good to the balance. But just as a GL can eliminate bunch lifeforms, Onos doing something similar would at least justify the costs.

Ok, I haven't noticed that. Cheers for the info, gotta try that next time.
If onos is going to primal scream....where is that going to fit in? If its going to be the same from ns1 (basically a free enzyme could) that would be way to powerfull for hive 2, but stomp is already hive 3......
If stomp was made on hive 2 (which would be TONS more usefull) and primal on hive 3, Onos could be useful again. By the time aliens get hive 3, marines are immune to stomp for the most part. So at hive 3 onos becomes a large buff banner
Or is primal going to be hive 2? If so, that would be kinda OP (assuming its the same from ns1)
