Daleks, Borgs, Cybermen, or Cyclons, The Ultimate Battle!

[starsuperion]

Who would win, and why??

I got my money on the Borg..I loooooove the Daleks, but honestly all it takes is one Borg to jack into a Dalek timeship, or their weaponry, and assimilate it's technology, and the entire collective via subspace signal knows it's technology, and they can rapidly create their own versions..

the fact that one seemingly brilliant man with a sonic screw driver can defeat the Daleks is pretty telling..

sorry guys...like I said, I love the Daleks.. but the Borg just seem to have the upper hand..

the Cybermen, meh.. they would get assimilated, and ultimately we may see silver and black coloured Borg, which might be cool..the Cyclons are soooooo obsessed with being human, they would end up being assimilated and become the ultimate Borg soldiers.. humanesque but fodder.. cause the Borg is part machine part organic an assimilation of a life form and it's entire civilization (the Borg ultimate goal is assimilate all life, and become the best life form in the universe through technology and biology)..the humanesque Cyclons would be an easy artificial life form for soldiers..but not seen as brilliant as the borg life form itself, being it is from many different creatures made better by tech..

I could be wrong..but it is fun to hypothesize..

The Daleks, because they will *always* survive to come back.

The Borg's assimilation strategy didn't stop Starfleet kicking their arses repeatedly. The Cybermen aren't really any contest (their prime directive is simply to survive), and the Cylons... In the original series they're slow-moving blaster-magnets, and the skinjob Cylons are, well, as vulnerable to getting killed as any normal person. Take out their resurrection ship, and then slaughter away.

^ Yep, what he said.

Borg can only learn through assimilation. If the Daleks even suspect there's a chance of that, they'll self destruct long before the Borg learn anything of use. And given that a Dalek ship is capable of cracking a planet open 'like an egg' (Remembrance Of The Daleks) I can't see the Borg surviving a combat engagement.

 

[Sci]

The Borg are powerful, but they don't have the capacity to teleport entire planets. Gotta go with the Daleks for this one.

 

[auntiehill]

Gotta go with the Daleks. Those bastards will never flippin' die.

 

[Saga]

Daleks are supreme!

 

[Starkers]

"Assimilate!"

"Exterminate!"

Only one winner

 

[Skellington]

Gotta say Daleks, for a bunch of reasons:

* Their technology is thousands if not millions of years ahead of any of the others.
* Unlike the Borg and cybermen, they have ambition and motivation.
* The NuBSG cylons weren't just poorly motivated; they were their own worst enemy. Much of their history was a succession of misfires caused by stupidity, rank incompetence and/or eschatology.

 

[The Wormhole]

Daleks of course. Though I would love to hear a conversation between Borg and Daleks.

Borg: "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
Dalek: "Daleks will not be assimilated. You will be exterminated!"
Borg: "Extermination is irrelevant."
Dalek: "You are irrelevant!"
ZAP! ZAP! BOOM! BANG!

I don't know, a part of me thinks that all it takes is one borg, and the collective knows all about the Daleks and their technology..

it bothers me that the daleks don't have a direct mental link to each other, I mean, they are all the same right? wouldn't they have a link like the collective??

 

[Starkers]

The Borg know all about the Federation and their technology; it doesn't seem to help them any!

They have some sort of communications net between them, in at least some stories (the logical presence of which means I'm always pissed off when they stop to talk to each other)

 

[Starkers]

Oh but its fun when they talk to each other! The shifty Daleks meeting in the sewer was the best bit of Evolution of the Daleks!

 

[The Badger]

Whilst Daleks do have an inbuilt communication system (at least in some stories), they are not intrinsically linked in the same way that the Borg are. Talking to each other directly is probably more efficient than using other means of communication when in close proximity. After all, you wouldn't talk on the phone to some one right next to you, would you? Not unless you're a total prat.

And I don't think a Borg would find it all that easy to assimilate a Dalek. Even if the Daleks force field was down there's still the heavily armoured shell to get through, direct contact with which can be fatal (not seen on screen, but mentioned in dialogue in 'Dalek'). And then there's all the interior defences to contend with. Once it was apparent that a Dalek was compromised either it'd self destruct or it's comrades would blast it into it's component atoms.

And never forget, Daleks are sneaky. Once they'd learnt the Borg's MO they'd take appropriate steps. For example, purging the data banks and memory of any Dalek sent to fight. Perhaps even replacing it with misleading data.

 

[starsuperion]

I am all for the Daleks, so I am playing Devils advocate here.. but let's say for instance, a borg gets past the Dalek force field.. and figures a way to inject it's nanites ito the borg shell, it would immediately start to convert systems, and let's say for argument's sake they were able to assimilate that Dalek at the cost of killing the Borg drone which injected it.. and lets say that the nanites had assimilated the Dalek technology and prevented the dalek from self destruction, the Borg now have Dalekanium, their shield technology, their smallest details and such..

I just think that if the Borg got at least that much.. they would reverse engineer Dalek tech and eventually take them down..I mean yea as an army the Daleks rock, but we have seen time and again that it only takes one humanoid to take down an entire dalek empire.. or a temp (The Doctor-Donna)

You send them a text message.

 

[Davros]

The Daleks would win as they are the superior life form in the universe.

spoken as the true creator of the daleks..

 

[Lonemagpie]

Yeah, but the converse of that is that there's *only* one humanoid who *can* take them down...

Daleks, it's not war, it's pest control.
