H- 8/9/10... Basically enough so that killing it would be a huge effort.
S- 3 (as a movement)
A- either 0, or maybe 1 to any unit next to it once the special has been "grounded". Obviously no damage to bases.
Special: the unit can be "grounded" at a place that a player thinks is good (costs a wit to do that), every subsequent turn of the player, the sight of the unit increases by 1 (but not it's movement in the case of it being ungrounded and moved somewhere else).

Maybe when the unit isn't grounded, it's health should be 2 or something. And grounding can only be done the turn after a movement.

So it can convert between a runner and a tank

I like that idea a bit, but 5 damage is incredible, even at 1 move speed... One shot the enemy base! I can imagine the 2v2 meta would instantly change to Adorables+(whatever has this unit) and you rush a Mobi at their base...
Even if you don't allow it to damage bases, it still 1-shots a boosted Heavy...

That would probably be difficult to program, and would certainly be a difficult concept for new players to grasp.
I like that, so far at least, there are very few "exception" situations (the only one I can think of is that a unit can move once per turn... UNLESS they've been Mobi'd already)

Or your partner can make the mobi for you . I think you're over complicating it.
