Im sure you guys have all seen the new terran Viking and Thor units for the terran, Ive got a acouple of questions:

1. What kind of assault unit will the Viking be?
2. How many Thor will be needed to storm a base?
3. Are there anymore gundam-like robots being released?

Hmmm...I'm guessing Thor is gonna be kinda like an Ultralisk where it has some use...but its more of a meatshield.

I'm intrigued by Viking a lot. It's actually the type of unit I was kinda hoping to see. It has versatility, but for its versatility it has a jack of all trades build to it, so it doesn't necessarily specialize in anything. I still think it reminds me of Starscream though.

I can imagine an island game where a player fills his base tiwh anti air defences and a team of vikings just swoops in and transforms right in his face making his defences completely useless.

Viking is just gonna be one more weapon in the "Terrans are the ****s of starcraft" arsenal! ;D

I love Terran...

1. id say some sort of anti light unit raider, or a heavier base raper then the reapers
2. no cookie cutter answer to that one, depends on enemy's eco, units, what kind of units etc etc, but i would guess a few thor's mixed with other units would be effective (somewhat like ling / ultra / defiler - tanks / thor / vessel)
3. time will tell..
