  A condensate, $\overline{t}t$, arising from $O(TeV)$ scale ``topcolor,'' in
addition to technicolor (and ETC) may naturally explain the gauge hierarchy,
the large top quark mass, and contains a rich system of testable consequences.
A triplet of strongly coupled pseudo--Nambu--Goldstone bosons, ``top-pions,''
near the top mass scale is a generic prediction of the models. A new class of
technicolor schemes and associated phenomenology is suggested in this approach.
