Weaponizing the weapon?


If McCullon and Rex had invented/made this weapon why did they have to get the Baronesses husband to weaponize it?
They showed in the beginning of the film when he was showcasing it that it could already be set to eat through tanks and metal etc so im not sure why they couldnt weaponoize themselves?

Geez, it's just a dumb summer popcorn entertainment. If you want airtight storytelling and iron logic go watch Trasnformers.

From what I understood, and I've only seen this movie to reference ANY G.I. Joe information, he was earlier showing them what the nanobites could do, but in the weapon form, weren't turned on. Like, the Baron had to turn on the weapon so it would do what it was supposed to do. If that makes sense....

Yes, MARS/Cobra should have been able to weaponize the nanomite warheads itself.

But: the nanomite warheads - weapons - shouldn't have needed to be weaponized in the first place.
