(the torrasque is the hero version of ultralisks that really kicks asses in sc 1. i mean not even 5 siege tanks and bunkers can stop it) if u nid something to recall, play 'to chain the beast' of broodwar if terran has this super thor, protoss has this super mothership then zerg has to have the torrasque buildable.

Also I'm hoping that the Thor's Air attack is an AoE effect, which seems to be the terrans weak point at the moment. Plus, I'd like to see the Thor have an AAA flak cannon animation for its attack.

Terran stuff that does a lot of damage to heavy or air units should have a lot of guns, like the Thor. It would look weird coming from the Cobra...

I found it weird when they announced that the cobra became the anti-air+heavy. I hope they do something neat with it though, since they wont have the mine laying ability of the Vulture. As for the Thor, although I really like the unit design, I am not fond of any of the roles it's been given so far. The first one seemed more appropriate, but overlaps the Siege Tank role, whereas the new one seems a bit .. uninteresting.
