But this build allows for Protoss to invest more heavily in defense and potentially get splash damage (TaKaT referenced going up against a colossus), which means that the marines will die/the SCVs will die while repairing before much can be accomplished. If you get a Thor out before he has robo tech, you basically win for free.
most toss go for heavy tech unless they plan to allin you.
when this hits he has 1 colossus or 2 hts with storm about to finish at most. toss can kite your thor/marine with his colossus all day, but he will just lose his natural while you have 3 bases.
i don't say this will always work against any protoss. but it works most of the time, also due to the fact that it is so uncommon and most toss do not react properly.
you can also add a starport if needed and get a viking out by delaying the 3rd thor
and 1base thor is not that strong. nexus cannon focus on scv and worker pull holds it off pretty easy.
