Scientists create freakish man-made monster ants with huge heads and jaws!

[Analog]

Nightmarish 'supersoldier' ants with huge heads and jaws have been created by activating ancient genes.

Scientists believe the monster ants may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
Scientists say they can create the supersoldiers at will by dabbing normal ant larvae with a special hormone - the larvae then develop into supersoldiers rather than normal soldier or worker ants.

Stuart Mackenzie: Look at the size of that boy's heed.
Tony Giardino: Shhh!
Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid.
Tony Giardino: Shh!
Stuart Mackenzie: Has it's own weather system.
Tony Giardino: Sh, sh, shh.

Kill it with fire, then nuke it from orbit.

So first we make killer bees, and now this. Are we actually trying to go extinct? I expect building-sized praying mantises will be next.

But which one is the harder worker? Ants or Bees?

I smell a new thread coming on

I'm more concerned with who's the better fighter. Can you imagine a worldwide killer bee vs massive army ant war? Ants would probably win. They could invade bee hives whereas bees couldn't easily invade ant hills.

No matter who wins, we lose.

Off course the American Acacia Ants will arrive 19hrs45 min later and claim victory.

Well, so at least we know there'll be a SyFy Friday night movie in a month.
Give them a week or so to write it, a couple days to film, and then a little time to wrap up in Post and advertise and whatnot.
