Hi guys. I'm sure some of you already know about this, but I just found out right now. There are "secret" units in the map editor. Some of them are models that must be attached to a unit. These units include:
Fatty - an old model of the Infestor
"Hurricane" Battlecruiser - a different looking version of the Battlecruiser (no, this isn't the Loki)
There are alot more than just those. Here are some more...
My Favourite one has to be Super Crane Advanced. Some decent animations and it's like a transformer. Almost no Attachment Points, but that's easily remedied with some Site Operation Actors.
The Plasma Battlecruiser's blue Plasma Gun Barrels animate too! They glow bright blue and even move to fire at the target.
Well actually only the 3 thing he listed there and the crane is new, all other like swarm guardian, loki, arcade thing is either in the Lost Viking game or in the campaign. Probably just junk model they put in, not planned to use in this first game.
Hi Borg. Yes, I saw those models. I think the Super Crane is cool too. I've never seen the Plasma Battlecruiser. I'll check it out. My favorite by far is Fatty. It's so cool. I also like the Kill Team Medic.
Yeah I've seen the battlecruiser models before cause I used them in my map. Haven't seen the others, might have to use that laser tank in the map I'm making now.
There are also several other unused models under the effects. These include Guardian (flying beetle), Devourer and Sunken Colony (large spike from ground tentacle) missile.

Too bad they didn't have the finished plasma battlecruiser in there, I remember seeing a finished battlecruiser with plasma torpedo in the beta website a year back.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there's a Hyperion unit in the editor that has the plasma attack that was left out from the multiplayer game. It's a weapon and it looks really, really cool.
Actually, back in the very early stages of SC2, Blizz had been planning on allowing you to upgrade your Battlecruiser to have either a plasma-barrage type attack (could kill a TON of marines in a single barrage), and upgrading to have Defensive Matrix.
Hi Unhunted. Yes, I know about the plasma-barrage type attack from the Beta. The Hyperion unit has that attack, but it's a weapon, not an ability. It looks awesome.
The plasma, hurricane, and yamato battlecruisers were planned to be used in such a way that you would upgrade each individual battlecruiser into one of those, and each on had a special ability.
And instead Blizz balances them by giving them a speed upgrade... Oh well. I would have liked to see them bring that stuff back, to give terran a late game "kill everything" unit, like the void ray and muta. (This is a bronze noob speaking, so don't bash me ;P)

I just found some of the Zerg ones. They are cool. I wonder if they'll be used in the expansions.

I believe that was what Raydude was referring to.

How do you get these units? Do you have to make them using the models in the editor? or do you get them just be loading all dependencies?
