Perhaps it's determined at start? Or maybe you have to be fanaticals? Spiritualists should get the god ray, militarists should get the planet cracker, xenophobes should get some cleansing ray, and pascifists get the sheilder. (There's one more but I don't remember what it is.)

played around with console, you need mind over matter to get it

You get Planet Cracker by default, regardless of your ethics. Any others that you qualify for are rare techs AFTER you've unlocked Collosus, so don't expect to use them right away.

Planet Cracker - Default, All
Neuron Sweep - Rare Tech (Physics), All
The Pacifier - Rare Tech (Physics), All (I think)
God Ray - Rare Tech (Physics), Spiritualist / Fanatic Spiritualist
Nanobot Swarm - Rare Tech (Engineering), Driven Assimilator

Your welcome.

Brillant, Marvelous,Wonderfull thats all i needed at least im not going Mad

I was underwhelmed by them because of the charge up and then firing times. I would rather just bombard then land some troops. Of course cracking the planet does remove it from the game I guess so it can be usefull if your going for burned fields type of play.

Not sure what I did then but about 1/2 way thru I get a popup asking me what I want to research for initial type, Might be a Mod for all I can remember. Anyway, I have tried cracker, sweep and pacifier and my favorite is sweep. Leaves everything nice and pristine and available to colonize once the radiation breaks down.
