They do need a defensive boost, though I'm inclined to say it would take at least 2 armor. Right now, lings or marines (or roaches or...) absolutely, positively eat thors. 1 extra armor would only change that slightly. (I think) it wouldn't change much vs heavy hitters, which I think the thor is a little better against.
i'm inclined to say they need 1 armor and an upgrade to their special skill and +1 damage vs air, or 2 armor and +2 damage vs air rockets. Any air vs ground fight is going to destroy a thor easily. Any cluster of small units is going to destroy a thor. Right now, the value in a thor is having 1 or 2 in your army, because they are well ranged, and keeping them in the back to deliver hits. (which seems so backward, since they are big tough-looking mechs, they should be TAKING the hits)
