New units were made public at official StarCraft 2 web site. Terran unit Thor is a heavy-assault Mech looks very impressive . Protoss Mothership is a mighty vessel and looks very destructive. It will be a lot of fun with these units :).

Terran Thor
Built By: SCV
Armament: “Thor’s Hammer” Particle Accelerators, 250mm Bombardment Cannon
Role: Ultimate Heavy-assault Mech

“… the micro-spy images showed a huge bipedal war machine armed with two giant particle beams and a dorsal artillery battery that wouldn’t be out of place on a battleship. Most disturbing of all was the demonstration that this monster could be built from the ground up by ordinary construction vehicles in an astonishingly short time frame …” - read more.

Protoss Mothership
Builds From: Stargate
Armament: Disruptor Pulse
Role: Capital Ship

“… At the heart of each mothership is a huge khaydarin crystal infused with an incredible amount of psionic energy. By tapping into this energy, a mothership can warp or crack the very fabric of space and time itself. The devastating power of a mothership can wipe out squadrons of enemy ships in the blink of an eye or lay waste to entire planets. … The oldest and most powerful weapons of the protoss have been awakened and are prepared to burn the galaxy to avenge the loss of the protoss homeworld … ” - read more.

In the last two weeks Blizzard revealed information about new units - Dark Templar and AH/G-24 Banshee. New wallpaper “NUKE” added. Battle.net brings to us new batch Q&A.

Protoss Dark Templar:
Builds From : Gateway
Armament : Modified Warp Blade
Role : Stealth Infiltrator

“The dark templar are most renowned for their ability to bend light around their bodies to become invisible at will, and a true master of the Void can achieve much greater feats than this. Armed with their potent warp blades, the dark templar are deadly and relentless foes, capable of crippling conventional forces with their devastating strikes.” [read more …]

Terran AH/G-24 Banshee
Builds From: Starport
Armament: Backlash Cluster Rockets
Role: Tactical Strike Aircraft

” As a planetary craft, the banshee wouldn’t need high-powered engines to achieve escape velocity and fight in orbit, so instead technicians fitted it with economical twin turbofans. Any air-to-air weaponry was deemed unnecessary: the banshee would only hunt ground targets. Thus, it was equipped with powerful air-to-ground cluster rockets.” [read more …]

Also new wallpaper was added - NUKE.

Many my previous posts were mostly about Protoss unit. In my last post - A few interesting videos … you could see video with lot of Terran units. Now I found nice post on Starcraft2.net about Terran units and buildings. You can read more about units - Ghost, Battlecruiser, Viking, Banshee, Reaper, Thor, Cobra, Siege tank, Marine, SCV and buildings - Command center, Tech-center & Reactor, Bunker, Sensor dome, Radar dome, Supply depot and Missile Turret.

New question & answers on the Battle.net !
Part 6:
1) Are Photon and Phase Cannons 2 different buildings?
2) Will carriers (Tempest) produce more than one drone type?
3) Fans noticed in your art video that thye Colossus ground unit was under fire from missile turrets. Is this due to the Colossus’s exceptionally high attack profile (tall stature) or a ground-to-ground attack feature/option for the turrets?
4) Will there be critters units and can they attack?

read answers here.

Part 7:
1) Will the look of the siege tank be changed for the final version?
2) Will there be a ctrl-a key stroke to select all your units on screen?
3) Will we get to hear the return of some of the original melodic themes from SC1 (like the Terran themes), or will the music for StarCraft II be completely new?
4) Will the High Templar still be able to create hallucinations?
5) When will you release a StarCraft II Fan Site kit?
