In a previous Starcraft 2 E3 interview post, the Tempest was called a “flying troop transport.” Since then it has become clear that it’s not a troop transport, but rather a replacement for the venerable Protoss Carrier. Some more information on the tempest has been revealed. So far it will only create one type of drone. In addition it will cost less minerals and gas to build but the shield mechanics have been changed. While it boasts a powerful undercarriage shield, protecting it against ground to air attacks, the aerial shield has been significantly weakened, resulting in a high vulnerability to air units. As a result, an assaulting force of Tempests will require protection from other air to air or even ground to air units.

Keep in mind that the Soul Hunter has currently been removed from the game.
