Terra-Tron – new Starcraft II unit

Blizzard has announces a new Terran unit Terra-Tron. Even if Terran are known for their defence technology they had to develop something something very different. Luckily, Dr Ron Volt was here to help. In his own words:
With the use of magnetic flux generators and through some simple modifications to our existing building schematics, we've found we can utilize structures that already exist in our bases to assemble the frame of a siege-class combat walker—a construct that some of my colleagues insist on calling the Terra-tron. The Terra-tron is best deployed as a last-ditch effort to hold an important location on the grid. Currently the cost of operation is a bit of a problem, as energy conduits and pipes become dislodged or severed and leave dangerously exposed electrical wiring, steel framework, and sewage systems. However, let me assure you that we are working diligently on new waste-containment systems that should eliminate this problem and get our buildings back up to code in the near future.

From information provided it looks like a player must have a fully developed base. Terra-Tron is composed of 15 units/buildings and once constructed/transformed it is a mean tool of mass destruction. Here is Terra-Tron in action.

This may be great news for Terran player but it sucks for everybody else. Neither Zerg or Protoss have unit(s) that could counter Terra-Tron! It is simply too massive and too powerful. And to make the whole situation even worse if Terran player manages to create several Taurens how is anybody suppose to fight back?!

What I would like to see is a new mega Zerg unit. Maybe something like a crossbreed from Alien Queen and Hydralisk with ability to camouflage itself. Then when Tauren pass by it would waste them with tons of acid and slice them with razor sharp tail…

P.S. Look closely at the image below for a hint
