The New Star Trek Comic Will Have Borg Invade the Kelvin Timeline
"Star Trek: Boldly Go, which begins this October, is set after the events of Star Trek Beyond. Its third issue, revealed in IDW’s December solicitations today, is going to see the crew of the Enterprise, alongside the U.S.S. Endeavour, come face to face with a threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered... even if readers will be more than familiar with it."

Dr. Miranda Jones: I understand, Mr. Spock. The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.
Mr. Spock: And the ways our differences combine, to create meaning and beauty.

The only way I would be interested in this is if they decided to take advantage of the reboot status to do away with the whole "Queen" nonsense and stop treating them like an insect hierarchy. I would much rather they return back to being a single collective hive mind where all individuals are equal in servitude of the whole.
Maybe that would be an interesting take on the Queen - though it's one that was already covered with the concept of Locutus: She exists to help facilitate assimilation, because that's how the Borg spread (since First Contact. Before that, they still had birthing chambers for children and all). She is basically speaking with non-Borg, and building alliances with potential new assimlated species to ease them into the process and speed up assimilation.
Wait; if they're native to the timeline, and the new timeline's creation had no effect on them (like it did on the Federation and others), does that mean they would be virtually the same as TOS era Borg?
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
That was a maturation chamber, not a birthing chamber...

Be creative make up something different for villains. Like a mad man stealing a powerful weapon and has to be stopped or other robotic lifeforms wanting to terminate Humans.

I never liked the idea of V'ger being related to the Borg. I prefer V'ger being different.

Personally, I take a different view entirely. We need to just stop using organic terminology with the Borg. The Collective is simply a massive computer network carrying out its programming, and the Queen we see is merely an avatar of the central AI that is produced on an as-needed basis (hence why she has an identical body every time she appears).

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Directive 458971-341d: Rescind 'ominous rhetorical broadcast pattern 4'. Asset package non-responsive to intimidation. Re-evaluate societal levers and place broadcast patterns 14 and 19 on standby.
Directive 458971-342a: Confirm nutrient flow to deck 12. Variable pressure reported in monitoring networks...
Anyways... I kinda agree. The Borg are an overused enemy now. In pretty much every TNG era game (Except Dominion Wars), the Borg make an appeareace either as an opponent or the main antagonist. We're oversaturated with Borg. Some say the Borg were defanged in Voyager, and for the most part that is correct. Since they were not being used as a Movie villian, but as a series villian, they dumbed down the Borg to allow Voyager's Plot Armor to hold. We kinda saw the Borg return to big, scary movie villian status in Enterprise, but since the Borg had to work with 22nd Century tech, they too were dumbed down a bit because of what they had available to work with. Upping the power output on the Phase Pistols was a precursor to the multiple settings on Phasers. Until Regeneration, Phase Pistols only had 2 settings, Stun and Kill. We know that 24th Century Phasers had up to 16 different power levels across the two main settings.

That is true. Starfleet is used to technological solutions. However I believe that the fact that the Phase Pistols were 200 years outdated compared to the 24th Century phasers that the Borg were used to facing may also have been a factor. Its like comparing a muzzle loader to a modern M-16.

For other games, the Borg were nerfed for balance purposes. Although a Tactical Fusion Cube, while expensive to make due to needing 8 Tac Cubes, was brutal against anything and everything.
