zerg swarm vs borg collective

just a nice little battle, who do you think'd win?

 

The borg, as much as I love the zerg I know that all it takes it a stab from the borg to start the transformation into a borg. So although the zerg have the ability to create units fast, the brog can turn them into borgs just as fast.

 

Cross universe makes me cross.

 

I think that people who read the Ultimate Marvel comics have an instant addiction to cross universes.

Also: Borg > all

 

ultimate marvel isnt nearly as crossy as marvel zombies.

 

Never read about that. And Borg would just assimilate a Hatchery and make like, really strong Zerg to wipe the rest out.

I would compare: Protoss vs Borg.

 

you should totally read it, its actually quite cool

and the protoss look a scary lot like species 8472

with protoss energy shields assimilation wont work, and since their power comes from the mind, it wouldnt be too hard to change frequency of their weapons and go through borg shields

 

That's why I mentioned them, they are the only race up for discussion. Borg could still assimilate their tech quicky.

 

actually, if i remember Zerg blood isnt a strong acid but still an acid, so it would probably take out the nano-bots before infestation


and they couldnt, to use Protoss tech you need psionic abilities, and for those you need protoss

 

Then they infest a Dark Templar, restore the psionic link, -the Borg assimilation should heal the nerves- then they have the knowledge to use their tech.

 

yeah, but the templar still has the energy shield thingie you know
and its not the link that is required, but the powers.

 

*grumble*

Shall I set up a battle thread with a war between sci-fi stuff? -no comics...-

 

you do realize that star trek, star wars, starcraft, doctor who and farscape all have comics?

only cool one left is firefly



Borg vs Protoss

inititally the borg use their cubes
cubes get *&^%ing oblitorated by those beam thingies, arbiters and carriers. Borg launch ground attack. Protoss want to learn more about the Borg so they dont oblitorate from up high but send in their ground troops
after a few dozen Borg Deaths per zealot their shields adapt.
in the time it takes the protoss to figure out how to go through the shielding the Borg would take a few zealots and templars

assimilation

if they can get these zealots and templars towards technology, the Borg win. if they dont Protoss win

 

Toss would just destroy the whole planet from space once the Borg assimilate anything. But the cubes are incredibly strong and the large ones have over 30.000 Borg on them, which can beam into other vessels at will.

 

not on shielded vessels
and the cubes have a very sucky firing rate, anything they fire can be stasised by an arbiter while the warp beam thingies get stronger and stronger.
And i am going by the assumption that the infested protoss gets beamed and then the ship flees like a dawg

but an assimilated protoss could possible be stronger then One was(29th century Borg, could survive a supernova for a short time)

 

I would say the Protoss could take the Borg, if they weren't defending something. The primary weakness of the Protoss is when they are forced to play defense because, when they have to be on defense they don't have the option to just kill everything on the planet/station there defending. The Protoss fleet is nearly unbeatable in space because of their extremely advanced technology in all fields, but when they can't just incinerate a planet from orbit their fleet isn't nearly as helpful. In neutral/Borg space the Protoss win handily, in Protoss space it really depends on how the Borg do on the ground and how much they can asimilate.

Against the Zerg the Borg would just slaughter them because they would have the space advantage and wouldn't need to defend anything because they can live on their cube ships.

Now Borg versus Terran is where things get interesting.

 

Sorry, what?




Personally, I think if the Borg attacked the Protoss, they would be fought back. Protoss seems like the kind of race that gets insanely destructive when cornered. I mean, they pretty much obliterated the planet with the Xel'Naga temple. Plus, organics have the greatest weakness to the Borg. Quite a bit of the Protoss army and navy is cybernetic. The only problem I see the 'Toss running into is the Borg shields would probably adapt to the phase energy of the Protoss.

Also: Borg vs an Archon. Can you say carnage?

 

Borg v. Protoss would essentialy be Asgard v. Replicators with a couple of important differences, namely the Borg aren't nearly as adaptive or efficient as the Replicators and the Borg are far easier to injure than the Replicators. Considering most of the Replicators strength comes from their reslience, and the Protoss are more technologically advanced than the Asgard, the Protoss would give the Borg a major ass kicking.

Also, I agree with Fenix's sentiment that the Protoss get extremely destructive when cornered, which would be bad for the Borg for two reasons, the first is the obvious one that the Borg would enormous losses trying to assimilate the Protoss. Second the Protoss would destroy everything they have rather than be assimilated so the Borg wouldn't gain much even if they did succeed.

 

Don't think the borg would even be able to adapt to protoss technology so easily, yes we all know what the borg are like but all the technology they have faced has been relatively similar, we're going from effectively localisations of the same technology, they may be able to adapt eventually but i'd imagine it would take a few devastating losses. Probably be similar to species 8472 but the borg would have a greater chance of adapting to protoss tech.

The khala would probably stop assimilation the same way as it does to zerg, even with a successful assimilation if they could process both the khala and the collective, protoss can apparently block certain thoughts from being read so the protoss probably wouldn't find too many national security secrets leaked. Although that would be the borgs best chance, as has been said direct confrontation would be a borg route in almost all situations, especially space.

Zerg vs borg all depends on whether the nanobots work on zerg or not.

I feel like a nerd for some reason.
