Borg vs Borg

Post by Darth Fanboy »

Old School Borg Cube from BoBW vs. New School Borg Cube from VOY

winning ship's drones get a chance to mate with the queen and be subsequently eaten....

It seems to me that the New Borg cubes have improved technology but the older Borg weren't AS stupid as the ones so deftly outmaneuvered in the Delta Quadrant, I usually go with intelligence over firepower when theres a tough decision to be made.

What the hell are they gonna do, assimilate each other? :P

The borg from BoBW weren't interested in assimilating everything they came in contact with or they would have taken the entire crew of E-D, they only wanted Picard for his knowledge. Plus that one ship took out a Federation fleet and made it all the way to Earth.

The borg you see in the Delta quadrant just assimilate everything and somewhere along the line they assimilated a gungan and got incredibly stupid. They still however have lots of adv technology (for ST anyway).

My question is are the older, more ruthless borg more powerful than the better equipped but less intelligent borg?

Seeing the thread title, I couldn't help thinking of there being one white-armoured Borg drone and one black-armoured Borg drone. 8)

Throw in the Borg from "Descent" who have no shields, but have built in blasters and fight intellegently.
I am capable of rearranging the fundamental building blocks of the universe in under six seconds. I shelve physics texts under "Fiction" in my personal library! I am grasping the reigns of the universe's carriage, and every morning get up and shout "Giddy up, boy!" You may never grasp the complexities of what I do, but at least have the courtesy to feign something other than slack-jawed oblivion in my presence. I, sir, am a wizard, and I break more natural laws before breakfast than of which you are even aware!
