I like more your dinosaur or mushroom series than the weapons.

I gave this 5 stars just because of all the "pacifists", listen I don't like war either, but I can definitely appreciate the design of a M4A1 Sherman.

Yep, I hate war as well and that's where one thing comes to my mind: "Si vis pacem, para bellum."
And you're right, it really looks like Sherman. :-)

You do realize that's basically Latin for "Mutually Assured Destruction," generally agreed upon to be one of the stupidest inventions of the Cold War? Or, as Stanley Tucci once gleefully uttered, "M.A.D. A perfect acronym, if ever there was one."
Which does rather make the point of those opposed to weaponry puzzles. Though calling them pacifists, in quotes, does that job pretty well too.
Although, considering the cog configuration that runs the track of a Sherman tank, it really doesn't. :P

Those who disarm are either slaves or become slaves.

While I've no doubt the original Dalek storyboard designs were at least partly based on tanks, I'm not sure I'd actually support that progression in-world. To me, they always felt more like a descendent of the iron lung and the electric wheelchair, especially when you consider the way Davros was kitted out. Even when you jump to the whole nanogene conversion method, it feels like an invasive form of a medical implant or your standard scifi trope of nanomedicine gone terribly wrong.
It might also be the smooth and almost sterile-looking exteriors with the deliberately gross organic interiors, that always made the Dalek conversion feel (to me) way more like a twisted medical evolution rather than progressively adding intelligence to the machinery of war.
And before anyone says I'm overthinking it - it's not called speculative fiction for nothing, folks. :P

I was about to suggest that you were overthinking it until you spoiled it with your last line. :-)
TBH I've never thought of the Daleks as tanks. Until Genesis of the Daleks (fourth Doctor) they were robots, before they were revealed as living creatures inside their machines.
They've never been my favourite Doctor Who monster, they're just too ridiculous.
