OK, building your attack body out of slightly flammable materials is an understandable mistake, and one that might not be avoidable in some circumstances. Building your attack body out of highly combustible/explosive materials is just boneheaded. Unless the goo was planing on self-destructing after completing the mission or trying to keep the possibility of a kamikaze attack open that was just a really stupid move on its part.
