As the replicator is a flying unit, I'm thinking maybe, using it in conjunction with mass recall, to get immortal harass without using a warp prism, so instead of spending 200/0 on a warp prism, you spend 200/200 on the replicator and get an immortal and harassment done, and on the way there if you see your opponent is going banshees, you can replicate a banshee instead and recall them home safely.

And if your opponent is going marines, zerglings or mutas, you can always keep the replicator or bring home a worker. Instead of thinking of this unit to stop one strategy, to take over one unit, I think the cost was meant to discourage that, and was meant to be used as a sneaky little fucker.

late game, mass recalling around a few siegetanks in siege mode around to defend bases would be kick arse, if you could get a viper it would be well worth the cost of the replicator to make all of his roaches/hydras useless, and be able to detect them running slowly burrowing away.

And we haven't even begun to think about the BM this unit would enable... Protoss will have the ultimate BM of replicating marines and making them dance!

Replicate the new thor. If it's possible you could have multiple copies of a unit of which the Terran is only allowed one.

I would think using these with speed-upgraded warp prisms would be pretty nifty in PvT. Fly an observer over his production facilities and wait for something cool to pop out. Tanks, banshees, whatever. Have a warp prism (maybe with speed) nearby with a replicator in it. Fly in, unload, change the replicator to whatever that unit was, load back up and fly home. Now you can make as many of those as you want in the safety of your main with more replicators...

Edit: didn't realize you could do this from your base anyway, I thought you needed line of sight.
