What Terran Mech needs in HOTS

I am not happy with the fact that Terrans in HOTS only get the Battle Hellion and the Widow Mine, despite not being a Terran player. 1.5 units are just not enough for an expansion, especially considering that the Battle Hellion is just a larger Firebat.

What I think needs to be added to the factory is..... a secondary mode for the Thor. Think of it from a design perspective. Currently every unit apart from the Thor that pops out of the factory has two modes:

Hellion - normal mode and battle mode
Tank - normal mode and siege mode
Widow Mine - burrowed and unburrowed

Yet the poor Thor is stuck in one mode only firing his big-ass cannons. What I suggest is that the Thor lose his energy and the strike cannons, instead gaining another form called "Mobile Thor" where he transforms into something looking like a very very big Hellion. In this mode he can move faster and shoot small numerous missiles which can help quickly take down Mutas and Immortal shields, thus plugging the hole in the Mech arsenal.

And it would be better from a design standpoint since then all Factory units would be able to "transform".

O_o

How would the parts of a thor be moved to look like a hellion?

Also why would its transformation be used for something its first mode is used for?

I mean, it's not like the BW expansion pack gave Terran a shit ton of units. We only got what....Valkyrie and Medic? And even then the valk was pretty useless until someone figured out how to use it.

I think the THOR should transform into a three goliaths, that would fix mech.
