Kids, kids, kids. All you need for C toxin is a live Psimorph that you can pick up on any mothership. I don't know why people seem to have so much trouble capturing live aliens -- it's not that difficult, I'm not going to go into it because every situation requires its own approach, but even megaspawns aren't extremely dangerous if you have a toxin gun (with B if you still don't have C) and a stun gun or some stun grenades. Toxin C is very useful, in my opinion, because it saves you a lot of ammo. It's a one-shot kill against most of the smaller aliens (on hard) and makes killing the bigger, more dangerous buggers much quicker and simpler. I've found that equipping my squad with disruptor armor, shields, a devastator cannon in one hand, a toxin gun in the other makes for a very lethal combination in terms of firepower. Especially if you're like me and don't let your agents die at any cost, by now your agents should have accuracy of <80, meaning that you can put it on auto-shot and just blast anyone that walks close enough. If you control your own squads and manually shoot and pick your targets (SHIFT+click) then you should have no trouble taking care of any aliens on any difficulty level. Shields are the key to this game and maybe giving each agent 2 shields in the backpack is the way to go, by the way. But I guess if you're this far along in the game already, it's not too difficult and you've already got the aliens under control with Annihilators. The trick is really capturing as many live aliens as early as you can in the game and researching very quickly in the beginning to get the toxin guns and the personal shields. After that, it's over.
