I just finished the game today. One thing I missed / forgot is what the swarm's purpose was. The actual biomass devouring, robot overriding things right? That are super small.
The swarm was actually a combination of the Horus units, those sprawling spider-squid things; the Khopesh units a.k.a. the Deathbringers; and the Scarab units a.k.a. Corruptors.
The Horus were responsible for manufacturing and maintaining the other units, that's how the self-replicated - like a mobile Cauldron. The Khopesh were akin to a main battle tank, heavily armored, heavily weaponized autonomous weapons platforms. The Scarabs were reconnaissance units with hacking abilities.
Their purpose was warfare.
