    How about marine animals for Terran unit names? Tiger Shark, Sting Ray, Barracuda, etc. I can't really think of any more badass marine animals right now as unit names.

    How about Barricade, since they are robots and they can Transform.... i though it would be a appropriate name for them... since Barricade is from Transformer: the movie (2007) ;D

    I like typhoon, and as for sea animals, how about manatee? Jk but hammerhead wouldn't be too bad, although it would need a little modeling to make it look like a hammerhead shark a bit to give it that name

    Leviathan is kinda good, but since a zerg brood is called that it would be better if a future zerg unit was called that. Leviathan was some kind of really big whale or something right? the nydus worm should be re-named to Leviathan

    After looking at the unit, and the way it works, i'd have to say its a cross between a flying squirrel and a grizzly bear. So uhm. Grizzuirrel?

    seriously though. I think Paladin, Cataphract, Hoplite, something else very medieval / archaic like the vikings.

    in-fact since, the viking says "Have gun, will travel." means his name should be Paladin.

    Show in the 50's called Paladin: Have gun, will travel.

    really? nice find. sooo, either you where born before the 50´s or you learned that through internet.
    anyway, paladin is a great name. maybe a little to "pure", and nice for the almost crazy (but cool) voice the Viking pilot has. Marauder and sentinel sound tougher

    The viking voice and choice of words are fucking retarded. "Looks like the big boy needs a little training" What the fuck were they thinking?

    It's blatantly dwarf mortar team sounding and it just hurts my little starcraft ears.

    Perhaps they're using viking, as Lost Vikings were a great hit for Blizzard. Just like wizards in warcraft always have the Blizzard spell. It's just free in-game propaganda. ;-)

    But it would be very nice thing if Vikings were named Baleog, and Predators, Olaf. lol It would be good for laughs at least.
