Will we see more nameless StarCraft units like Sgt Hammer?

I haven't heard any talk about it, but has Blizzard mentioned doing more Heroes based on units even if they don't have a famous name attached to it?

Sgt Hammer wasn't originally a character in StarCraft lore but clearly they wanted a Siege Tank hero so they made her up. I hope they keep doing this whenever it's necessary because there's still plenty of amazing units that need to be put in the game that could have full kits (same can probably be said for Diablo and WarCraft).

To my knowledge there's no famous lore characters attached to the Viking unit, Reaper unit, Lurker unit, Stalker unit, Goliath unit, and I'm sure all of these could be rather interesting characters. And they could always give them a more advanced kit like Hammer's spider mines and concussion blast to keep them interesting.

I'm just hoping it's reasonable to think that some StarCraft units just make sense as heroes and Blizzard throws them into development. I understand making some of them like the Mutalisk into abilities but hope they don't get carried away with some potentially amazing characters, or making them just into skins.

Any other units I'm missing you'd like to see but don't have a notable name attached to it?
