Thor

Thor is a massive terran mechanical ranged siege-walker unit.

Overview[]

Thors are deployed in later battles within the game to counter against other powerful foes of protoss and zerg (such as collosi and ultralisks respectively). With an incredibly sheer power of heavy weaponry, they utilize "Thor's Hammer" particle beams on both arms as an example of eradicating targets into dust with the laser technology. Despite their paramount weight, they walk slowly and steadily along with smaller comrades since they are positioned behind lower tier units, such as marines and marauders.

In the first season finale, a thor had used 250mm strike cannons as backup weaponry to pulverize anything into dust, including air units, until they were no longer available in further episodes. But, they dealt a fair amount of damage upon an ultralisk. Their main weakness is being overwhelmed by multitudes of small units such as marines, zealots, and zerglings. To assist their vulnerability, a few SCVs are needed to repair their armor.

Appearance[]

As huge mecha of terran race, thors have a bulky structure on its body, equipped with dual punisher cannons and javelin missile launchers on their back. They have thicker shoulder pads attached with Thor's Hammer particle beams, their main weapon. Being a siege-walker unit, they are usually two-legged mecha, even though they have short legs but they can still hold their mass. Their heads are single-eyed and they wear team-colored headband (including the neckline plates for more-detailed team coloring), describing them as commando-esque units.

Trivia[]

  • Thor is the only terran ground unit without showing its pilot or controller throughout StarCrafts series.
