Thor

being honest,i think that will never happen.units will not throw strings and lift him up,in the best of the cases they will put him inside,the same as dropships do with other units.

 

If they do then something ain't right...

 

It is a far fetched hope, but one can dream can't they? And how else are you supposed to transport thor around. I mean... my god it's like 5 times the size of a dropship. Not being able to transport it might end up leaving a serious hole in the terran ranks for island missions.

 

yup exactly my point it would look like Thor is a mid-air puppet...

 

yeah but terran got banshee and predator, which can be used as a team to seriously harass enemy islands

 

islands....ahhh islands...ok back to the topic...I really liked the banshee's AoA style looks pwn-nish

 

Yeah, Dominion ultimate killer  ;D :army: Even with its shity matel-like design its ok: big & strong.
Why i never had one of these in my childhood   :upset:

 

back to the topic? This topic is about thor... not the banshees. And with all that firepower and cost, how one is supposed to move him around on an island map is a valid concern.

 

Omg someone who hail before the Emperor is my friend...
oh string_me_along my heart was hurt when you said those awful words about me being off topic which I was.....

 

/\ your heart was hurt?! Sweet Jebus, Let me get a medic! MEDIC!! MAN DOWN!!!! Ok, breathe! BREATHE!!! WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANOTHER ONE!

P.S. if I actually did offend, I am sorry. I just wanted to get us back to THOR, who I hope will be flown from obliterated island paradise to obliterated island paradise courtesy of our dear friends on the battlecruiser. It would be totally sweet if you could drop him on a unit. The zergling he landed on would go ker-splat. Then he would blow everything up. It would be neat.

 

Nah I was just j/k no need to take it seriously/whatever I say just don't take it seriously and I seriously mean it,yes seriously....

swt about the idea you gave though...ker-splat?cool idea but I would rather hope it turns into a big flying mathaf**ka...

 

Then we can rename Thor to Megatron

 

Yeah :thumbup: I would really like that

 

No Unicron

They put thrusters on the buildings why cant they put thrusters on the Thor. Make it fly. Of course it would move slowly and not be able to attack but it would be able to fly over impassable terrain

 

ahh megatron...I love Starscream.....ahh*dreaming*

 

I posted this on another thread about Thor, but the only problem I have with it is its mobility.

I'm thinking maybe it needs to be able to lift off like a building. Upgrade or not. Moves slowly like a building and can't shoot, etc. But it at least solves the problem of crossing terrain that can't be done on foot.

I don't like the idea of having to rebuild it somewhere else to move it. :-D

Also, @ Hillzagold , dude, I'm not picking on you, I swear. But the constant references to a particular unit looking like another one from another game and comments about how they're rip offs is kinda starting to get to me. I'm just letting you know.

 

Yeah the thruster thing has been floating around for a while. When the first glimpses of it were seen one of the first questions was "Can it lift off like a building? That would be so cool."

 

Yea.. I don't really see why it can't be done or any reason it would imbalance the unit. Being able to lift wouldn't really do it any good so long as it doesn't move any faster than it does on foot. It would obviously be extremely vulnerable. And it'd have to land in a safe place, not in the middle of a base. i.e. can't land on units, etc...

 

The Thor needs something anything to allow it to island hop. As does the colossus. Both are huge and thus can't be transported which would severely hamper them on islnd maps

 

which is why you should build thors where they can fight. probably the reason they decided to have it built from an SCV, which is transportable


as for the colossus...the phase prism cant trasnport it? then in absence of recall, it's stuck
