Dear god, replace the Thor with this D: EDIT: It might need a slight downscale tho lol The transformers quotes/references are pretty hot, and the voice is perfect. You know, one of the real units probably needs to steal the "All your base are belong to us" line that this unit uses. God damn, the morphing animation is awesome. | ||

I especially like how they made the 2nd video to (almost) make it look like it's an actual unit. ^^ All the references in the quotes were great, too.  HELL, IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!On April 02 2009 03:33 Equaoh wrote: I can't wait for the UMS maps that will undoubtedly feature this thing. Terra-tron, TERRORIZE I doubt there's support for it, at least not right now. You can tell from the 2nd video that they just threw an animated model into the game: the unit doesn't actually interact with anything, hell a vehicle even drives through its leg at one point. And the other units can't even attack it: they're attacking a small person underneath the robot, lol.I wouldn't be surprised if it gets added by popular demand in the future, though. | ||

On April 02 2009 04:14 Ziph wrote: Such a waste of time, they can make a total new huge wtf model but can't bring out a battlereport. w t f seriously blizzard... It's just a big model made out of pre-existing models (Terran buildings), and maybe a few simple new ones (e.g. not sure where they got the blue saw from). It's not very time-consuming to make. Besides, everyone needs a break every now and then. The time they spent preparing this would probably have been spent reading Slashdot or something, anyway. | ||

tl;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. | ||

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. | ||

Well like I said before, in the video it never actually kills anything at all. It could be a one time deal where they only went as far as to make his attack animation and build animation for purposes of promoting their product. If this is the case continuing to work on him would be a waste of time better spent elsewhere. | ||

Thinking about the terratron tho, how would you select to build it? Just select all the buildings in your base, hope you got all the necessary ones and an icon for the terratron appears? How much supply would it take (take into account it uses like 4 supply depots) etc... | ||
