Hated SC II units?

Yeah the Thor needs to be slimmed up a bit. It's just too wide.

I agree... I would like it far more if it wasn't as bulky.

Thor...

THOR!!!! --> EVIL game ruining unit. Tries hard to be cool but UNCOOL

Hellion but might have a chance...

Just curious, but do people dislike the Thor model because just only because of gameplay purposes, or do they also dislike its aesthetic design?

I dislike everything about it. The model is ugly and there's already been several 2-legged mechs among the Terrans. It seems boring to use, to fight against, and to observe. There's nothing exciting about its abilities. And while it may fill a needed role the unit is still unimpressive and unimaginative in my eyes.

Plus its unit portrait is wacky. It's a Metzen looking dude rocking out to techno with flashing lights. C'mon...really? Is this thing a night club or a war machine? Where's the pizazz and charm of the original game? Just bring back the damn Goliath if you're looking to shadow its role. At least that unit looked and acted cool.

The Thor is just a joke...

I love the Thor model as well.

IMO I'm opposite of what some people here think, the wider and shorter it is, the better it looks. That Thor screenshot is of it in the "barrage" mode, and it looks badass. I like it a bit less when it's walking, because it's taller.

And last but not least, the Concept art is the most ugliest piece of crap I've ever seen.

Also, it's bad enough that the Thor is what it is, but if it got an even taller profile, it'd be even more unrealistic than it already is.

Yeah, I was drooling over the Thor when it first appeared. Sure it could use some tweaks but the concept art really sucks IMO. I like short and wide machines like Metal Gear Rex or Destroid Monsters from Macross. I bet if they show a Thor in the cinematics with all the CG detail of the Terran Marine in the cinematic it you'd love it too. Like the high quality CGI designs of the Transformers movies; looks soo real.

Can't say that I hate any particular unit. The Carrier seems to me to be in need of a serious re-evaluation, but I'll be glad to see it work in the game as it is (it's really more of a concern as to whether it'll have a meaningful role, same goes (to a lesser degree) for the Mothership). I am not a big fan of the current Hellion and Lurker designs, but I wouldn't mind if they end up in the released game.

Thor absolutely, I dislike the concept, I dislike the art (concept and in-game), and I dislike the role its been shoehorned into (not that I liked its other role much either).

[Hamshank]

the unit's gameplay, the unit's lore, the unit's art doesn't make sense and why it belongs in the Terran arsenal is beyond me

[vIsitor]

I'm ok with the Thor. Admittedly, there is a bit of a dissonance between its artwork and its current role (needs a new model imho), but otherwise its fine in my books.
