Massive Unit Transportation

So I got a chance to see the dropship carry the thor around at PAX this weekend, and it was a really cool visual. For those who don't know, the dropship can carry a thor, but instead of the thor actually going inside the dropship, it just sort of curls up and literally just gets picked up by the dropship. So you can actually see a huge friggin thor on the underside of the medivac as its flying around.

Personally, I liked it so much that I'd like to see this sort of animation for siege tanks too. But I'm more curious about what happens in team games if you try to move other races large units. Can the dropship carry an ultralisk or a collosus? Can an overlord carry a thor or a collosus? I don't think its very likely, but how hilarious would it be to see an utlralisk hanging from the bottom of a medivac?

Currently this is a temporary animation as well - I think they are looking at ways of making it even cooler looking than it looks now.

When we've figured out a way to display the Colossus and Ultralisk visually I will let you know, but in the meantime there isn't much to say about it - it is a Medivac carrying an Ultralisk...

He's not necessarily saying that. This is something that would come up in single-player missions where you control multiple races simultaneously. You can transport your own units of another race, but I doubt you can transport allied players' units at all.


Correct.
