Furthermore, its relatively immobile nature makes it rather counterintuitive, as people will be avoiding robotics and cyborgs like the plague once an AI subversion has taken place. Also, once again, the Roboticist doesn't even have AI upload access, and barring the rather difficult task of discreetly making it into the upload via hacking or stealing a head-level ID or something of the sort, they probably won't manage to get into the upload in any given round.
It has its uses, sure, but the situations in which the conversion chamber can be used effectively are few and far between. You're usually better off making perma-loyal syndieborgs or just running around and whacking borgs with emags before dashing off.
