You can use our cephalopods and engineered viruses if we can use your supermaterials to make our critters better, stronger, faster!

Don't make me recall my armada of robotic giant squid from their trench exploration. Rapid pressure change makes them extra testy.

You are meant to be alarmed. Sea water is corrosive stuff.

Normal types of engineers can't make WMDs so we have to compensate someplace else.

Bah! Biologists may have a quicker, easier path to world destruction, but domination? I think not.

You need power and precision to rule, and biologists can't get that in the same package. Your superbugs kill too indiscriminately and your deathsquids just take too long to train. Sure, you may prepare the first generation of squishy death squads in secret, but will you be able to keep up with demand? They're a temporary reign of oppression at best.

Now killbots, that's everything the aspiring overlord needs in one sexy metallic package. Mass produced and ready from "birth", exactly like the last group.

Of course the most efficient control is to go straight for the brain, the unholy alliance of biology and computer science. Then you can use something temporary like deathsquids, because you just need to get the thought control AI implanted in your now perfectly loyal subjects. You may want to build some killbots to make sure no one falls through the cracks and escapes implantation, but once you've got the brain interfaces in, ( ... )
