I was also wondering if they could morph heavy weapons and move or if there were any other special rules for obliterators. thanks.

Obliterators are not literally armed with the weapons they morph, they just mimic their effects. Only heavy weapon equivalents can be morphed and the Obliterator MUST REMAIN STATIONARY in the movement phase to do so. With the exception of twin linked storm bolters and close combat weapons no two Obliterators may use the same type of weapon in the same turn (i.e. you can't have two Lascannons, etc).

Obliterators can NOT charge in the assault phase and will not pursue if they defeat enemy troops in close combat, however they can still consolidate. They can also DEEP STRIKE and are FEARLESS.

Obliterator weapons:

Assault Cannon, Hvy Bolter, Lascannon, Multi-Melta, Twin Linked Stormbolter, Flamer, Twin Linked Meltagun, Power Weapon and Power Fist

As far as moving and firing goes, just use common sense. If you don't intend to morph I would say you can move and fire, after all Terminators can do it
