Terra-Tron

[MGCǂSpectre]

StarCraft II

It is said to be much more powerful than Thor. If you don't play Terran you will lose. Amazing version of Voltron.

Karune asked if we wanted to include it into the map editor.
Battle.net - English Forums -> Karune: Terra-Tron Suggestion

I love the robot!

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

It is the best unit so far in SC2, and since SC2 is the most developed, it is Blizzard's best model so far!

 

[ArcticInferno]

terra-tron, terrorize!

 

[Gilles]

Shoulda just made Optimus Prime.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It doesn't look that epic. In Supreme Commander there are more unique units than this one.

 

[Ghost765]

hell, its morphin time!

 

[Just_Spectating]

disassemble? No. Disassemble

 

[ArcticInferno]

Assemble.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I so hope that model will be in the final version of SC2. It would seem a waste if blizzard did not include it.

 

[LordDz]

As they included the Goblin hero that was an april joke in wc3.. Perhaps we see this one ingame too! Ladder games would be pretty cool then =) .

 

[ArcticInferno]

I agree, but it was a combination of various terran buildings.

 

[Kwah]

Ttteeerrraaaatttrrroooonnnnnnnnnn!

 

[redmarine]

Blizzard has hinted that it may/will be in the Scum Editor.
Look at my post above.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Why waste their time making it if it can't be put in a game

Its too awesome to not include

 

[Kwah]

It will be.

Silly. It's a PR grab.

 

[Ghost765]

it looks like it has limited animations tho.

 

[redmarine]

Karune said it would be in the editor. I guess they created custom animations for its entry.

 

[Linaze]

If they include the robot, then they should also include the tauren.

 

[Just_Spectating]

most likely.

 

[Tyranid]

They said long ago that they will include the tauren..

Haven't seen you for a while man! What's up?

Pretty usual, same as always. Althought I ressurected my interest in SC 2 again.

 

[frostwhisper]

I'm still waiting for the Zerg Godzilla.

Always good to have someone with SC 2 knowledge in a crazy SC 2 forum.

Btw, Karune has stated that the Battlereport 2 will get released at the end of the week.

 

[Ghost765]

what if Terra-tron would be part of a Campaign mission, that would be cool.

 

[Just_Spectating]

doubt it.

 

[ArcticInferno]

But it will be cool if it did. Like forming your base into terra-tron and then owning waves of zerg/protoss mothership/whatever

 

[Just_Spectating]

just make your own custom campaign.

I dont think the Birth animation (where all the buildings fly up and attach to each other)
is real.

Custom animation. I believe this model actually could be in the campaign if you consider that there is actually a story behind its invention.

 

[Just_Spectating]

they just did that because of April fools.

damn bastards! wasting their time on things like this. We want zerg!

 

[ArcticInferno]

I hope there's a infested diablo, or something like that.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Infested TERRA-TRON!

 

[ArcticInferno]

Infested mothership?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Infested everything!!

Lets infest the whole damn map!

Zerg creep everywhere yeah?

 

[ArcticInferno]

The creep looks quite crispy now

 

[Just_Spectating]

doesnt look too "crispy" to me.

Some other tiles make it look crispy though. which is pretty neat.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Idk, its just not as slimy looking as in SC1

 

[Just_Spectating]

i hear this from everywhere.. people are disliking the game just because it doesn't look the same as sc1....

Only the minority are complaining and are more wrekless when it comes to sharing their point of views rather than those who don't.

Few complain.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hopefully..

 

[ArcticInferno]

I like it overall, but not the creep, its just not the same

And it looks like it's going to be very complicated to play

 

[Just_Spectating]

Im sure anyone would say that about any new game that they havent tried yet.

 

[ArcticInferno]

You have cliff-walkers, burrowed detection turrets, super units, man I don't know how but I really hope it works out nicely. Blizzard always does it well anyway

lol

Infested THW.

Super units? What? What super units? The only super unit is the Mothership and that ain't all that super anymore since it doesn't have Vortex/Black Hole and Planet Cracker anymore. The Queen isn't an unique unit anymore as you can build as many of them as you want. The Thor was never a super unit and at the current point it's just a huge Goliath (as in SC 1 Goliath).

 

[ArcticInferno]

I wasn't too updated with it you see...

It just seems like they trying a little bit too hard to bring back the old starcraft style while adding new features, it's pretty messy in my opinion. But I guess everyone would get used to them, it would only be a matter of time.

I love starcraft, by the way.

 

[Tyranid]

I'm quite happy that the Mothership is 1 only again, althought I wish it would gain the abilities it lost. The Queen should return back to 1 only state in my opinnion, just makes more sense.

The Thor however isn't and never even was a super unit. At first it was supposed to be a hardcore anti-ground unit built by the SCV. You could make more than one of them and they had that bombardment ability against ground. However Blizzard realized this overlapped the Siege Tank so the Thor web't back to the designing board. Now the Thor is built from the Factory if I remember correct and it's pretty much a frontline damage absorber for you troops. It's also anti-air unit with anti-air AoE attack which is effective against groups of weaker air units.

 

[frostwhisper]

Damn I miss that Black Hole.

In the editor.
