Note that I mention: in entrenched positions when you can't attack and he can't attack. Mech vs Protoss is hopeless because of warp ins and mobility, but when you are at a stalement I don't see why it isn't a reasonable transition? Again I'm not advocating the use of Mech in TvP as standard, but as a transition in super late game, because mech is more efficient than bio, but less mobile. TvP is lowtech mass units vs hightech + meatshields, and the advantage of lowtech should be quicker reinforcements, but it doesn't work because of warpgates (not balance whine). Aside from mobility, I don't see the point of staying on MMGV at super late game unless you can abuse that mobility.

There could have been an additional 10 ghosts and many more vikings for Kas and it would have been pretty one-sided. I didn't say 10 ghosts will beat 10 chargelots, but 10 additional ghosts in Kas' maxed army versus the army of Creator Prime would have given him a significantly better army, and those ghosts in combination with the rest of the surviving army could take out the reinforcing zealots.
