DF Gameplay Questions / Those pesky Bronze Collosus things.

Okay, the region I'm playing apparently had a lot of Bronze Collosus running around because I've encountered two, possibly three with the same fortress. The first time, I didn't have much of a topside fortress done or military. I also wasn't aware of what one was, so it mashed up my little dorfs and waxed it's massive body with their fat. At least, I'm guessing that's what happened because I abandoned it and reclaimed it. The second one, I kind of used Runesmith to make it my friend since I didn't really care to mess with it at that time. This time, I had four squads of trained dorfs with iron and steel weapons, most of which are masterwork. Most of them have 2 or 3 wardogs each. I'm thinking I'm good, right? Well.. No, actually. So, outside my base is an acre of red grass, dog parts, and close to 40 dorfs waiting to die because none of the other dorfs can rescue them. The battle went on for a good solid hour before I figured out they weren't going to win.
The Bronze Collosus is dented and missing a left hand. Other than that, he's still going strong.
My question is, how stupid are Bronze Collosus? If I were to build a bunch of 3x3 wall structures on a support, will they walk up to them and smash the support on their own? Kind of like a mega-stone fall trap? Anyone tried that?
