Alrighty - thought so myself, then the topmost with skulls is the lazer guy

Uh-huh. And the red one is the goblin throwing one, and then the boring one just has a HUGE club.

Tan unupg Cyclops: Eat goblins, melee.
Red upg Cyclops: Melee, siege, eat goblins.
Orange upg Cyclops: short range laser, ranged, throwing goblins.
My guesses.

nice.
I wonder if all goblins will be thrown, or if it picks out a selection from the stack, leaving most of it where it is?

Maybe only dead goblins will be thrown at the enemy.I still have plans for goblins if they do such high damage.I don't see any uses to them if they are right there and I throw them just for some fun,but if they get killed at the beggining by maybe marksman or titans,then with their bodies I have plans...

I'm pretty sure that the Cyclops will only throw a few Goblins at a time, not the whole stack. He'd have to have pretty big hands to fling ninety Goblins in one go, for example.

Indeed - but how can you do extra dmg with 1 goblin? what would the dmg bonus be like?

Good question. I have an idea - maybe the Cyclops in question is normally melee, and throwing a Goblin allows it to make a ranged attack. So no damage bonus, but the ability to attack from a distance would make sense.

Thats logic.. but then again if thats just a normal ranged a att. should it be equal in dmg? or lower ? should fx Goblin shaman add negative spell caster buff? And should Hunter drop a trap?

is there any indication the goblins get killed? maybe they start attacking after you throw them (and as the goblins in the screenie with 3k damage vs squires did so much damage) i think this would do a lot of damage.
maybe its a medium-range initiative boost for them after you throw them?

That's a pretty interesting idea. I had been thinking of it as a weapon, but maybe it's more like transportation. So the cyclops gives up it's turn but you can block enemy shooters with the goblin stack...but maybe not.

I don't think it's likely to be a means of transportation, Goblins are obviously fodder: You sacrifice them, you eat them, and you throw them, and they'll run away from you if they get the chance. Throwing them is probably going to kill them.
I do believe, however, that the throwing thing will be the only ranged attack the Cyclops have. Since all three Cyclops carry logs, I'm pretty sure they all are siege capable. My guess is one version gets lazer vision on upgrade, and the other gets ability to throw and eat Goblins - but how exactly they've distributed the abilities are hard to say.

I suppose the laws of physics would be a reasonable indication that Goblins will be killed by throwing. I dare say there's a pretty good chance that I'd die if I was chucked over 70 metres across a battlefield straight into the face of a murderous enemy by a giant, bloodthirsty monster. Probably different for yourselves, I dunno.

Dude, check the picture again. The orange one, the one with all that jewelery and skulls dont have a lodge at all. Further proven by close-up screenies.
