It looks like it to me.

The fire unit is ranged. it shoots a fire ball as a projectlie. (confirmed by CJ)

Fireball, sounds like it shoots balls unless it wacks people with a giant fireball.

woah so fire is ranged i thought he'd be like (massive fire sword splits throught head of crawler) but now its------->
oooooooooooooooo(fireballs)------nooooooooooo hot hot hot
in english so if fire is ranged is water meele cuz i have a water pistol but a water sword wouldnt be very strong

Holy shit, it is range...But it's so vulnerable though, I mean it has only 1 bar of health :/

Archer

The air units cast lighting according to wiki. Maybe they could make it water+air if they decide to change.

That's the uh... whachamacallit... Air-Burst unit. (?)

So uh, dat new pic on the Dev Blog.

Here's an interesting idea: Some elemental units are made by combining two certain units. Like for instance, if you want to make a lightning unit, you have to have at least one fire unit and one air unit OUT OF BATTLE AND CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. Otherwise they may both get killed by enemy units durning the process, or not transform at all.

You cannot combine units in the garrison. Also it takes time for the two units to merge. If the transformation was instant, imagine how cheap it would be, especially when you plan a surprise for your opponent.

UDATE: It'll still cost mana and gold to combine units.
