Borg vs Replicators who would win and why?

[boxdudea]

If the Borg from the Star Trek universe meet the Replicators I would like to know who would win if they ever got into a fight with each other? And Chuck Norris can't save the day.

[KEK]

It's difficult to see past the replicators. They're virtually invulnerable to energy weapons, they have no organic component to assimilate, and the Asurans at least are designed to destroy at a nanite level. Unless the Borg could somehow 'hack' them, I don't see how they could win.

[jelgate]

A stalemate. They both having that adapting ability to ever have one truly beat the other

[thekillman]

but borg ships can be destroyed with insane firepower. Replicator ships can not be. the only time we destroyed one was when it was caught without shields and even THEN the blocks survived the destruction and went on.

also the Blocks can create stuff faster than borg, no weak organic components and what not.

i can not see how the borg could POSSIBLY win, especially since the Replicators have superior energy production and superior hyperdrives (and that's only the confirmed)

[General Jumper One]

replicators, because I said so.

[Sp!der]

Although the Borg are the more awesome race, I would say......... dadadaaa.. Replicators! Definitley... The are Machines who came to change the future..oh wait that was terminator.

[C0mtr4y4!!!!]

Replicators simply because anything that has anything to do with star trek sucks

[hart37]

Replicators for most of the same reasons mentioned above. Also the borg have no bug spray.

Blasphemy.

yes you dont have to insult other shows....

[webxro]

i don't wan't to sound like a troll or like a flamer but what is the point this is borg vs rep topic number 9 M , just look at the similar threads

[stargatefreek]

well it is one that seems obvious when you 1st think about it but when you then think about it on each part it then becomes more difficult.

on thought i would have to say that the Replicators would win, especially if it is involving the Human Form Replicators.

[Greenfire32]

Replicators.

Blasphemy.

LOL and what was said about Trek is Blasphemy allright.

In all seriousness The Replicators have the clear advantage but I think they are more likely to join forces than to fight each other. Now that would be a fearsome alliance!

[syfygyrl]

Replicators. Definitely Replicators.

[blueray]

i've been wondering this since i started watching voyager.

i'm going to go with the replicators. their purpose is to replicate by use of technology, so they would steal the borgs technology. the borg would try to assimilate them but i don't think they would be able too since the replicators aren't living. and if they did, the borg prime purpose would then change. and therefore they would all become replicators.

[StarSancFar]

god can you imagine a human form replicator joined with a borg, it would be like some, some, some.....well like some super soldier (parden the pun)(y'know, the kull...with the...forget it :O)

[hart37]

I wonder if when the human form Replicators do their hand in the head trick if they would be overwhelmed by the link and become part of the Borg that way?

[Rise Of The Phoenix]

We have already had this debate, in a number of different threads, but I'd say the Borg would win.
The Borg have ships numbering in the millions, come from a universe with more powerful weapons that they can resist.
Nothing ship based in SG can destroy 30% of a planet's crust on opening volley, yet the Romulan and Cardassian fleet in DS9 could and a single borg ship could easily withstand such firepower, probably for hours with no sign of strain.
They have time travel technology and could simply travel back to a period where the replicators were created and kill that world before the race can even develop the technology to make the Replicators.

The only area the reps may be superior in is FTL capabilities although the Borg could deploy their ships any where in the Milky Way within minutes, which implies very fast propulsion, even if the Borg can't match the reps for speed they aren't that far behind.

[Kallisti25]

id say definatly replicators, energy weapons are essentially useless on them and borg shields work only on energy based weaponry. the only reason the replicators were even beaten in the sg universe was because of left over ancient tech.

the replicators have shown that they to can assimilate and upgrade new techs quickly. the borg are more of scavagers adopting new technologies into their own but not really hi on the innovative side. while the replicators have shown that they can adopt new technologies and make their own innovative improvements on that tech vastly improving it.

[Aesop]

I dunno, with nanites in the equation it seems overwhelmingly on the Replicators/Asurans side. It seems like they could theoretically infest a Borg ship with nanites and destroy it from the inside out.

In an direct fight, it seems possible that the Borg could adapt their personal shields to Asuran construction so their nanites either couldn't penetrate the field or the field would disrupt the bond. On the other hand, the Asuran's would probably adapt as well so it would just be an ongoing battle of escalating adaptation.
