4 I like these for the factory theme.
5 * Aspis -> Kingpin
6 * Aegis -> Syndicate
7 The units are a bit unusual though because they are accessible via any factory so I am not sure if they should be themed.

9 Stiletto -> Thunderbird
10 This sort of idea has been hanging around for a while. I am of the opinion that including "Thunder" in the name of a lightning bomber is about as boring as including "Fire" in the name of a unit which shoots fire (i.e. very boring). So I would like to find a name one step removed from "Thunderbird" but still recognizable and pronounceable. "Roc" may work as a name.

12 Infiltrator -> Mantis
13 This would just be confusing. How about some recognizable name for "Trap door spider" instead?

15 Penetrator -> Lance
16 This has been suggested a few times. It may happen eventually.

19 LLT, HLT and Stardust don't fit into the ground turret naming theme.
20 * LLT -> Planck. Small, 'initial' step for laser technology.
21 * HLT -> ??? Too many choices but none stand out to me.
22 * Stardust -> someone to do with ballistics/particles?

25 I think that the 'weapons' theme is overused. Hovercrafts are almost entirely weapons and the theme has leaked a bit into Cloakybots and Gunships. Perhaps Cloakybots could become Greek gods. I feel that Rocko and Jethro should be renamed.
