Thor

Seems like blizzard has changed its mind with having an ultimate unit only for protoss. From what I understand, terran and zerg will have them also. Thor is the terran's ultimate unit. It looks like a giant goliath with a huge arsenal of guns. Thoughts?

 

who said it was an "ultimate" unit? I just think its a strong unit

 

well it certainly looks like it packs a bunch but you can hardly make the bold assumption that it is an ulti unit thay have already stated there will be no ultimates for the other races besides toss

 

I assumed from that page of all the never before seen terran units. I think "a buddy like this can assault a base well on it's own" is good hint to the thor being a super unit. And someone on bnet forums said that blizz lied about there being no terran and zerg ultimate units.

 

i hope that is true

 

Thor + Siege Tanks = Say goodbye to your main?

 

lol thor will be a sweet unit and no doubt its stroung but i dont think its a super-unit

will be a siege buster though heheheh

 

...My friend builds these so well construced defenses it takes hundreds of yamatos and dozens of nukes. The Thor will be my answer.

Thumbs up Bliz.

 

Hehe...I'dve prefered Optimus Prime, but Thor's cool I guess.
Just seems like, yet another way for Terrans to be the thorn in the side of starcraft again....god i love Terran ;D

 

i wouldnt call THOR an ultimate unit, Collosus already has about 800 sheild/hp and does massive damage and that isnt considered ultimate....
also you could say that an ultralisk can attack a base on its own

 

If the Thor is described as an upgrade to the venerable Goliath to counter larger targets like Ultras and Colusses i'll jizz. Not in favor for each team having an ultimate unit. Thats a little stupid IMO.

 

I think that's jumping to conclusions. We haven't seen any stats or any videos of it in action. It's sure to be a top tier unit but thats all.

 

I was just browsing through the BattleNet forum and found this information.

"The Thor will not be the Terran equivalent to the Protoss Mothership. In addition, you will be able to build more than one Thor. The Thor unit will not be the type of unit you'll want to march into the enemy base by itself.

More info about the Thor will be released later on."

Now, we can conclude that the magazine overexagerrated. I'm also glad that only the Protoss race is going to have the Super-Unit becuase they are the only race that suits the theme of having a Super-Unit.


Bonus 300 minerals for a great post. Good job on finding the info. Now find me stuff on Zerg Ych9

 

Good find. owerup:
I always assumed that it was an exaggeration, but I'm sure this will relieve many worried souls

 

Yeah I was sure that people were blowing it out of proportion. It will be like a terran ultralisk that is a powerfull land unit but will still need backup and air support.

Ych9 you are really cranking out a lot of good info lately.

 

Hehe I think maybe their decision to name the unit after Thor gave too many people that impression. I mean, can you think of a name that says "epic and god-like" more than Thor?

 

heh, planetary fortress for instance..

 

Yet another great find Ych9, good job. owerup:

I can think of a few things...

 

remy this was you wasnt it?

Nice find Ych9! (again lol) owerup:

 

Good Job Ych9. To be honest, I'm slightly disappointed that only the Protoss will have a super unit.
