Yeah but the point is that each race doesn't have to be identical and that there are differing aspects to each race, so the fact that you can tell it's a Thor doesn't necessarily mean that it should be removed to imitate the other races.

And the same wouldnt happen with the Thor hanging from the Medivac?

The Warp-Prism is actually completely hollow, have a good look at the model--it is like a box kite (feels like it ingame as well ^^).

Perhaps ultralisks are actually inflatable and that is how they fit into an overlord?

well i think he means with dropships.

I think it's a fair comparison nonetheless.

Fat ovies would be funny, but I kinda like threatening baneling drops with empty ovies sometimes. if people could tell they were empty that would kinda ruin it.

To be honest, the thor carry is the worst visual part of Sc2 because it looks ridiculous and comepletely ruins the illusion of pseudo-reality.

The infested terran 'softball lob' is a close second. They should be shot in line drives and stick to the target location like velcro but with zerg puss, that's more believable.

The Colossus walking is third, because it moves so fast and looks stupid and the legs are too thin.

I wonder if you can load an ultra in a dropship?

(not in a real game but in a game where i can NP an scv)

You can, but there is no special animation for either ultra or colossus in a dropship.

I think the overlord should grab the ultra with the dangly bits, and the Ultra should violently squirm like he doesn't want to be lifted. then 2 seconds later, he gives up and goes limp until dropped.

Ultralisks can fit inside a tiny egg, so they probably shrink to fit inside an overlord.

As stated earlier, the Colossus is converted into an energy form when transferred into the Warp Prism.

An Overlord transporting an Ultralisk is a disgusting thought no matter how you twist the idea around.

- Tentacles used as ropes to carry the Ultralisk would remind me of tentacle sex. -_-"

- The Overlord carrying the Ultralisk as they are currently gives you a disturbing thought as to how the orifice would stretch to accommodate the Ultralisk.

It makes me wonder more about the Overlord's willingness to even have the drop ship feature researched...

My first thought: That Ultralisk shouldnt be considered as carried but rather dragged across the floor and leaving a trail on the ground.

My second thought: The Overlord needs more lift and thus should be bloated up immensely.

So... like this?

Toss has visuals of the unit being built in Stargate. Nydus worm makes a noise all can hear.

Every race got little something or other.

OMFG FLYING ULTRAS WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!

But seriously, if Ultras could be carried outside overlords, they could attack while flying, and I don't think we'd want that.

in lore, i think overlords expand there bodies to bigger sizes in order to fit there load. which is why the drop upgrade is called what it is. so that is why a overlord is able to fit a ultra inside of it cuz it expands its sacs to where it can. medivacs obviously cannot expand there haul so it has to carry a massive unit like thor on the outside.

and as for the warp prism, well its a WARP prism... the way the toss race works then im sure ppl can think up a reason to why the warp prism works the way it does. when ur picking up units it seems to convert them to energy and when unloading it returns them to normal form.

Idk the fact that it's a computer game being run on my 16" laptop screen kinda does it for me.
