if the planet has an atmosphere I don't think these tiny probes would make it through without burning up.
If it doesn't have an atmosphere there would be no life to negatively affect.

It would be decades before the probes even traveled far enough to have the potential to reach another solar system, with no gaurantee it would be aimed directly at one. Plus the chances of hitting something as small as a planet as spread out and vast as the galaxy is would be pretty low IMO.

They should really focus on terra forming Mars.

Humans will be extinct by the time our sun dies anyway.
5 billion years or so

What if the nano probes survive crashing into a planet with no atmosphere and they create some kind of Cybertron planet that breeds the Autobots and Decepticons? The nano probe could be the Allspark.

We really need to think this shite through.
