Currently if you look at the Thor model, it seems very "wide" and that the cannons on his back and arms cause it to look top heavy and that the model could fall over any minute. Also on his chest, you see two rows of plating on either side of the cock pit. My suggestion would be to remove one of those rows of plating, move the arms in, and reduce the size of the cannons on his back. So should the Thor be scaled down like my example?

I like your concept. Come to think of it, I never really liked the Thor. Yah... way too wide but in time I grew careless about it.

However... that would mean that the Thor would have a less vulnerable area behind it.
That would mean less units immediately in its blind spot. I think that would mean they would enter faster the thor's attack range as it turns around.

XXX = Thor
* = small unit
Then you can have :

***
XXX

if the thor is slimmer then:

**
XX


If it affects gameplay I it would be harder to modify than just the looks of it. We'd have to see even if the thor makes it to the game.

Now... if only 1 Race had a super unit (toss mothership) That would really make a difference between the races. But still a lot of balancing issues coming up .

:( I LOVE THE GIANT THOR<3

it's so powerful/sexy/tier-945802983/awesome-looking.

Plus, it really is like a Big Hulking piece of mobile artillery, size should be in there

I think it should stay the same size because it is a siege destructive weapon after all. Also the THOR just needs to be oversized because its cool and powerful.

The Thor looks absolutely perfect as it is, come to think of it, its size plays a huge part in it enormous power. Size = Power Thor's current size is perfect, it shows off it power through its fearsome size.

the thor is perfect as is... the wide body and all around hugeness is to make it look more the behemoth it is supposed to be... i think they did a good job and the design is fine now.

Blizz's version makes the Thor look more intimidating. I mean, would your freak out if you saw several of these on the edge of ur base, and you were off doin somethin else?(Not to mention they will prbably be protected) so making the thor look overarmored really serves a purpose

I think if that beast were to be on tank treads, that would make more sense. Such a huge vehicle walking on legs?

I don't know what to do with it. Something needs to be done, but I don't know if that's it.
