    What if the protoss made an archon that:
    -Has mind control ability
    -Has psionic Storm ability
    -Can detected invisible units
    -Can create holograms that can hurt you
    -Creates a nuclear explosion upon death


    XD I'm new here...by the way

    Would Thor be considered the terran ultimate unit? I'd imagine it would cost less to produce than a mothership and there could be more than one constructed. If the terrans kinda take the middle ground between mass units and powerful ones, while the protoss have less numbers but are more powerful, then these two would match their profiles.

    As for the zerg I think it would be interesting to see a unit that could act as a mobile hatchery with limited units it can produce. It would produce creep and be able to move underneith the ground(but very slowly) this way when zerg players begin they can send this unit to fresh minerals and quickly establish a temporary gathering base. It matches the zerg's spread and consume sort of feel.

    only protoss get ultimate units. thats the bottom line. thors arent ultimate, they are just great. zerg would be the absolute last race to get an ultimate. and they aren't.

    i cant believe how many times ive had to say that.

    Terran and Zerg are obviously not going to get a carbon copy unit to the mothership, with big hp, damage, and cost. But for protoss to get a unit which only one can be produced of, is a new mechanic in a way. I understand that terran and zerg will not get a "Ultimate Unit" but they will probably get some sort of new unique mechanic of their own. The reason i figure this is because the mothership is a kind of unit starcraft has never seen before it's simular to a hero in wc3 so terran and zerg should also be able to play with a completely new mechanic. this doesn't have to take the form of a unit, like the mothership. The more diverse the better but they should definitly have something that was never seen before playing their races.

    Sry if it has been shown b4, but this topic is really big. I was just wondering if anyone noticed THIS unit before:
    [img width=399 height=288]http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9463/superzerghc2.png[/img]

    It's in the oficial artwork trailer, and it just flashes once. It's not an ultralisk, or devourer, but it's definitively zerg. Since there has been "super-units" amongst terran and protoss (Thor and Mother'F.'Ship), this could be a hint, right? I mean, even though Thor is not a super-unit, it's almost as if he was. Why not have something very strong for the Zerg aswell?

    Oh yeah, perhaps you're right. His thick thighs must have deceived me, I just didn't match the two of them. To me, Zerglings were always like locusts, or like dog-locusts, lol! But it might be the concept of one. For a moment I thought my dreams had come true, and it was finnally a flying Ultralisk, lol! xD

    Ty! BTW, since the Terran "super-unit" is land, and the protoss Mother-F@$%ing-Ship is air, perhaps Zergs will have a super structure instead of unit. Or their Overlords will get incredibly more usefull than they already were (transport/detector/supply/tank). It should be more surprising than yet another uber-attack unit.

    Doesn't mather, MFS is a good replacement for Arbiters :) They were very vulnerable. I bet her abilities will be more interesting than stasis field and recall. Afterall, with teleport, recall has become useless. And mothership is way more cool in looks than Arbiter.

    If they were to create a terran super wep/ship i think it should be giant science vessel like the one in the cinematics which is infiltrated by infested kerrigan. It would need to remain a detector, get some mediocre lasers, and some kick ass spells like mass irradiate or multiple shield matrix thing. Oh yeah and it would need to be like 3x normal science vessel size. But i heard only protoss gets it so w/e.
