    Death may be a preferable alternative to being found in rubble by a swarm of cyborg cockroaches.

    So, we can make cockroach cyborgs, probably torturing them along the way, but not fix our messed up society. Fun.

        Maybe the cyborg roaches will gain sapience, rebel, and take over. One can only hope. It can’t be worse than what we have now.

        Let me be the first to say that I, for one, welcome our new electronic/insectoid overlords.

    Me, haunting those responsible for the wording:

    The Spirit of the Harvest Moon is a spirit and the main antagonist from "The House of Discontent" S2E12p1 of Courage The Cowardly Dog Show. It is a giant floating bald head of a moon-esque man: with glowing white skin, scowling black lips, and pure black eye sockets. not a cyborg.

    this was one of the xfiles episodes, where the aliens were controlling the roaches, to send a singal.

    Cyborg cockroaches were used to find survivors in the recent Myanmar earthquake

    I say we see what other insects and small animals we can turn into cyborgs

      Roaches need like to recharging. All is fun until you tame a cockroach to drop cyanide into somebodies coffee or 1 gram of shaped explosive charge on somebodies jugular when they sleep. Now imagine thousands of them swarming an entrenched position or building, or crawling in a bunker
