If we've managed to weaponize everything..
..How do you turn the Obsidian Towers into weapons?

Ah, my dwarven heart beats with fierce pride for this.  I can't take it anymore!  I have to go do something profound.

Easy you start by sealing off the 2nd floor from the ground floor. Then you biuld a support in the middle of the ground floor. And then you remove the walls :D
Any Biulding destoryer that takes that out will get a REALLY nasty headache as well as the guys around it should get a bath of magma :D

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

Pretty much what they said only the support is wired to a lever.

My BD traps comprise of a water filled room with a pressure plate and a door, the BD destroys the door letting out the water triggering the pressure plate and activating whatever nasty trap i have linked to it. OR just use a very large or pressurized reservoir that pushes the BD down a pit.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I'd just add some cheap metal statues near the support in case there's more than a single BD, if I remember correctly they take a good deal of time to destroy.
