Alternate Trek Borg

Post by SPOOFE »

Several months ago, I posted in a thread somewhere (I can't recall if it were here or on some other message board) about an idea for a new Trek series. My suggestion was putting a new series several centuries after Voyager, and have some sort of galaxy-spanning cataclysm destroy major civilizations and essentially make everything go topsy-turvy (like a Q war that alters subspace, thus leading to massive disruptions and failure of warp drives and such... the idea also resulted in removing crap like time/space fluctuations or removing alternate timelines).

Anyway, another one of the ideas was that the subspace crisis also wrecked havoc on the Borg hive mind, causing the Borg to go insane. Drone growth rampaged out of control, they ceased to strive for "perfection", and such. Anyway, this (finally getting to the picture) is what I envisioned an Insane Borg hunter drone would look like:

The idea goes that the first stage of the Insane Borg life cycle has them assimilating a host, just as they did in Voyager... the second stage, however, focuses on the removal of pretty much all of the organic body parts of the host, ultimately resulting in a drone that is almost entirely machine (as you can see in the picture, the deformed skull of the drone is left, along with the chest cavity and some of the leg tissue). Senses are replaced, however... the elongated structure above the skull handles sight, sound, taste, smell, etc.

Anyway, I've been working on this intermittently for several months, and I finally finished it. Just thought people would like to see it.

Very nice. I can see influence from the Destroyer Droid in there, though.

I wish I knew how to make Quake 3 player models, because that's what I'd do with that... hint hint... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

That is good, nice detail along with shading.

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Holy Tolito! A terminator unit on crack!
Humm, how the hell does it go about slaying without entangling itself in the miriad potrusions?

Frankly, that's what the Borg should have looked like in the first place. Good job there. 8)

Excellent, just the kind of thing to make you grab for your LAW
