Assassination potential is also very promising. A slow moving cockroach could easily get past a Holtzman shield.

It doesn't say what's in the syringes. I guess just meds specific to the patients with known health issues, like insulin? Or something that has to do with them being trapped?

Likely the same thing humans would inject if they would be able to get close enough for that injection. Afaik there is no general life saving injection of any kind, but in theory it could of course be anything.

Ever heard of a DNR-bracelet? It stands for Do Not Resucitate, maybe they will start selling one against cyborg cockroaches? Maybe one with an rfid or nfc tag or something so it doesn't come near you when your life is in danger.

It's a military serum that gives the user temporary super strength

If I'm under rubble and a cyborg cockroach comes in to inject me with unknown chemicals I think I'll just die

Maybe don't call them cockroaches. Something more fun, like Medbugs or Docroaches or Nursects or Rescritters
