Cybermen vs Borg

edited May 2014 in Ten Forward
So, who would win?

Cybermen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZTDqOs4QpI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NejmRupa54I also http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Cyberman

Borg: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Borg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPzJSBHG4pI

Who would win? Borg or Cybermen? By Cybermen I mean a mixture of Cybermen era.
As in, 500 Borg, vs 50 old Cybermen, 150 10th Doctor Cybermen and 300 new Cybermen from 'Nightmare in Silver"
DISCUSS!!

    Borg

    Their assimilation tubules can puncture all known materials, and the nano-probes would just need to re-write the cyber OS and new armored drone available right away...

    Sigh.
    Cybermen, by numbers alone.

    The Borg control a medium sized section of one quadrant in one galaxy, the Cybermen had converted an entire galaxy that had to be destroyed to kill them off (indecently the fact that DW humans have the power to implode a galaxy).

    The Cybermen convert the Borg Queen, game over. Borg assimilate the Cyber Controller, they Cybermen switch to a new one.

    I would have said Borg, until you put the Nightmare in Silver Cybermen in. Those guys can move fast. Really fast. Provided the Borg don't set up a trap to capture and assimilate one, the super fast Cybermen would be able to run around and break a whole bunch of Borg necks before they could respond.


    But old era Cybermen and 10th era Cybermen would fall easily.

    Borg. Because better catchphrase.

    But if it's the Nightmare in Silver Cybermen versus the Voyager NerfBorg, then the Cybermen by a slight margin.

      Borg lose. The Cybermen have a historical precedent in their favor (the DW/ST crossover comic), and as always, the Borg Collective's idea of combat tactics is to walk slowly towards the enemy as a skirmish line of mentally TRIBBLE zombies.

      Hell, I'd take the US Marine Corps over Borg drones without orbital support.

      This, pretty much. It starts out with the Borg and the Cybermen forming an alliance, but then the Cybermen turn on the Borg and become a major threat and the Borg go running to Starfleet for help.

      That's plot necessity though, not a true example of superiority either either way... The Cybermen's electroshock grip might be able to disable a drone (if their forcefields don't adapt to it) but beyond that, their built in particle weapons would definitely be adapted to. The Borg nanoprobes, on the other hand, would easily overwrite the Cyber OS, as they did when they tried assimilating Voyager and the Enterprise (both E and NX-01) And as for numbers, Borg can always assimilate new drones, Cybermen can only kill their targets (I doubt there is even enough unmodified brain tissue in a drone to be used in the cyber conversion process..)

      1. Yes, but they have to assimilate them, then give them the fancy stuffs. Cybermen just switch instantly.

      2. Nightmare in Silver. The new Cybermen adapt to weapons, superspeed and LASORZ!. They're much more advanced. No chance for the Borg.

      Borg adapt. And if the Borg manage to assimilate a Cyberman... oh look... they know about Cybermen.

      I'd say its a tough call. Not clear winner to me. Besides... whoever wins... we lose. Unless we got the Enterprise, Voyager, AND The Doctor.

      First Contact established that once someone is stuck with nanoprobes, they begin to be assimilated from the inside out. Hawk became a functional drone within minutes... A Cyberman stuck with nanoprobes might still look like a Cyberman, but internally, they'd be marching to the Collective's tune...

      Haven't seen it, as I stopped watching due to Matt Smith and Moffat's writing... Speed might give them some chance against the Borg, but lasers won't mean s**t to a drone's shields... The Borg would adapt to whataever the Cybermen threw at them in less than a dozen shots. I would say unless these new Cybermen also have personal shields, they're still in danger from the assimilation tubules... :eek: Cybermen vs Daleks showed how susceptible Cybermen actually are (even though the Borg don't use particle weapons)

      If they can be assimilated in the first place, it's not just biology they need to replace the cyberconditioning already there.

      That's hardly a fair comparison, Daleks vs. anyone is a curb-stomp. The Cybermen don't need their 'laser' guns, a lot of Cyberman marks just like hitting people, Borg can't adapt to Cyber-Fu :D.


      Also logistically no matter how many Cybermen they kill or assimilate the Cybermen converted an entire galaxy that's trillions of trillions of Cybermen vs. a few trillion or so Borg.

      I was refering to the Queen, not a drone. The Queen can't be replaced instantly, Cyberleaders can.

      Watch Nightmare in Silver. The new Cybermen adapted to an anti-Cyber gun, they can pretend they're destroyed, superspeed, able to adapt to basically everything and got guns and electric hand thingies. Cybermen run up to the Borg and zap them, Borg can't react. Game over.
      Also, now they can just plonk more tech on a person (of any species) and control them. They could insert a virus into the Collective. Game over (Again).

      Absolutely... In Regeneration, partially assimilated drones were able to create fully operational Borg hardware aboard the Enterprise (and the transport shuttle). Corrupting, or even si ply over-writing the Cyber OS should be no problem, just like installing Linux on a pc...

      It's a totally valid comparison, as it showed the Cybermen being vulnerable to energy weapons (or whatever the Dalek Death Ray is) Not that the Borg use them, but it shows a weakness in the Cyberman which is not present in a drone... Sure, a few drones will get zapped, but the rest then adapt and are impervious.

      You're looking at the figures the wrong way round... Without Plot Armor to ensure their defeat, the Borg should be nigh unstoppable. All trillions and trillions of Cybermen equals in this conflict, is trillions and trillions of future drones ;)

      All this means is the Cybermen adapt to the nanoprobes, rewrite them and send them back out, the Cybermen have superior numbers cutting off a few assimilated units is not a problem, also the Cyberweb doesn't work like the collective, the Cybermen have more separation than drones.

      The Cybermen have upgraded since then, they are now immune to anti Cyber weapons specifically designed to kill them.

      There are two reasons why.
      1) A few billion assimilated Cybermen will just be terminated by the Controller they can afford to lose them.
      2) If push comes to shove, the Cybermen will just destroy the Milky Way, they still have other galaxies full of Cybermen to fall back on.

      I just had the misfortune of watching Nightmare in Silver... Yes, those upgraded Cybermen would probably beat the Borg, because Gaiman wrote them (despite his protestations of ignorance) as the Borg, but +. I mean, the idea of a tactic that takes out one drone/cyberunit being adapted to by the others, that I can tollerate, but to suggest that the individual unit would upgrade/adapt to it after being incapacitated is ludicrously weak writing. That episode just cost Gaiman the last shred of respect I had for him after hearing him deny knowing of the Borg, when people compared his take on the Cybermen to them... Let's be honest, they were just a Cyber head, on one of Tony Stark's armored suits, with Borg capabilities (and the Aliens reference was just pathetic) it put the Cybermen right into Wolverine-levels of Suedom :( But, sadly, it is canon, so yeah, Cybermen win...

      Objectively, the Borg are mentally TRIBBLE and uncreative. It's no wonder they eventually lose every time they show up.
      "Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"
      — Sabaton, "Great War"

      Knowing people with SN, I find that a grossly offensive and inaccurate phrase, but putting that aside, The Borg were shown to be highy adaptable and intelligent when Plot demanded them to be... The Borg/Cyberman's greatest strength/weakness in all showings, was Plot Necessity... Comparing the latest variant of Cyberman to the Borg, yes, they would overcome the Borg.

      Cybermen wins.

      Only the Doctor can beat the Cybermen. ;)

      The Daleks can beat them too. "You are superior in only one respect." "What is that?" "You are better at dying."

      Borg. Because better catchphrase.

      But if it's the Nightmare in Silver Cybermen versus the Voyager NerfBorg, then the Cybermen by a slight margin.

      actually "Resistance is futile" was used by the cybermen in 1967 in the "Tomb of the Cybermen", they have also used "Resistance is Useless".

      so er, that "catchphrase" isnt borg :) cybermen got there first ever so slightly.
