Here are a few quick descriptions of units I found out about at E3.

The Alliance

Wraith-  Your personal vehicle and the most powerful unit in the game.  It has the ability to teleport in units produced by facilities located at each hotzone.  It is equipped with a large array of weapons which can be purchased for it and then upgraded for more powerful versions.  You begin the game with 2 base weapons, the laser and the homing missile.  Each is useful but don't expect to tank and army out with them.  An important part of the strategy in the original Uprising involved deciding which weapons to buy at what points.  This will most likely occur again in Uprising 2 with a wider array of weapons and abilities for the Wraith.

Heavy Tank-  A tank with heavy armor and high power, but slow speed.  It may eventually have the ability to brain wash the opponent but Cyclone hasn't decided yet.  It will probably become a major part of your fighting force providing much needed fire support in tough situations.

Light Tank-  A swift lightly armored and gunned tank.  It will make up a bulk of your offensive since it is cheaper than its big brother especially in situations when money is precious. 

Bomber- What type of bomber it is I have no idea.  I can assure you though that it will be an integral part of your force since bombers were one of the most important units in Uprising 1.

Kri'isaran Horde

Brain Buster Tank (Alien Heavy Tank)-  This is a very slow tank with the ability to brain wash your units into turning against you.  I saw it in a action for a couple seconds at E3.    It was surrounded by a group of light tanks and was in the back taking shots at my troops and manage to take over several.  They could be very harmful if in large groups since it can turn anything you put out against you.

Alien Light Tank-   A faster tank with lighter armor and weapons.  These made up most of the alien force on the demo force appearing in large numbers to ambush you at every turn.

Sorry if the descriptions are poor. :(  I need to get some specs on each one and I will write better descriptions. I will also try to get some pictures of them since it is impossible to remember what each looked like and describe it correctly.  Thanks for reading anyway.
