This build uses Hellions and Banshees. These units threaten to kill Probes and have the potential to bluff the opponent you are going for mech.

Defying conventional knowledge, Mech is on the rise in the match up against Protoss in the pro scene. The current mech in TvP either focuses on Cyclone or Banshee in the mid game. You can read more about the new mech in TvP in this article.
Hence, Protoss players put extra effort in determining the composition Terran players want to use in each game. This build utilises Protoss' scouting to sell that Terran is going for mech, but it later transitions to a bio composition.
It is rare to see Hellions and Banshees in the early game of TvP. These units automatically plant a seed in Protoss' mind that this is likely to be mech. You can read more about other details as to how this build aims to deceive Protoss in TerranCraft's May 2019 Metagame Build Orders article.
