EPTtl;dr version: Terratron in editor is quite possibly non-functional, and any UMS maps with it will probably need to code in some behaviour. Hopefully it is functional out of the box, though.

Either way, from the amazing features shown to be available on the map editor so far, I doubt that this would be unavailable. | ||

Btw how long do you think was spent on putting that joke together? I hope Blizzard was testing out game mechanics in some way or another while putting together that pointless yet amazing beastly unit! | ||

Terran getting a super unit that is bigger and stronger than any other unit in the game seems fairly standard... I mean they did it like 6 times in SCBW. | ||

Either way, that was money well spent. :D | ||

its a 3d game, and ive played more than my share of WCIII. can you imagine all the units that could get hard to click behind that thing? ill bet you could hide 10 zealots, 10 colossus and 10 carriers behind that thing. youd get all kinds of bitching about line of sight problems. that unit is a big dumb joke. | ||

The fact that that huge thing is going to be in the editor more than makes up for it. Please, don't try to turn this awesome thing into something negative. | ||
