I don't see why you would ever want to replace marines. What will you have to kill the zerglings and banelings? I've been messing around with MVPs 8 rax, 1 fac, 1 sp, hellbat marauder transition, and If I get a 4th base, I add only factories and starports for hive tech. Eventually focusing on thors, hellbats and marauders + medevacs. I still use marines to keep the army balanced, and make sure mutas don't magic box but i personally prefer higher HP units, that don't die to fungals, ultras and banelings. Seems to work in diam  | ||

0-1 or 0-2 mech units don't stand up well against 5-3 ultras. | ||

Honestly I think its more of a three base all-in against zerg, but it never hurts to have a plan B... and yea, like pirfiktshon said, if you only using them to support 4M you dont need ups, as they only are there for mutas | ||

Similar to marine tank in tvt? Hellions are pretty much mandatory early in TvZ, you would only opt for early tanks if you need to hold roach/bane based all ins. | ||

Btw, I started doing 8889 again vs Z, and man that allin kicks ass, even against low gm. I almost never lost any game, even if he managed to stabilized. The only proper counter I faced is gaz10/pool10 and still, it's pretty strong and you only need to back before he get speed. I'll spam this build now since WM doesn't do shit. | ||

Bomber doesn't seem to think hellions are mandatory :p. He showed you can skip them all together and play incredibly greedy with three tanks for defense. Then just abuse the shit out of mules and marines. | ||
