Who wins Borg vs Replicators?

I'm not so sure they would.  The replicators would immediately set about tampering with the ship, which would cause immediate drone deployment.

Don't forget that all beam weapons that have any effect in ST are particle beams (i.e, kinetic DET weapons), and ~3000 Borg drones per Cube, and hundreds of Cubes.


... Of course, once they hit the viriculum, they could hack into the central Borg network, and do what was dreamed up in the TNG episode "I, Borg"


So, I think it would be a draw.

The replicators would win, hands down.

Replicators = living Robots.
Borg = Masters of robots.

The winner is the one who can hack the fastest, and they are both good at that.

in all honesty,  the (milky way) replicators, be it the normal blocks, or the post "host" smaller ones, are Robotic.

where as the borg are a dependent mixture of a biological & mechanical component.

the replicators do not have this limitation.

they have no biological component to assimilate, therefore the borg should be unable to "learn" how to defeat them

Replicators all the way.

They don't need biological parts to be assmilated, they showed that several times in the show by sticking their assimilation tubes directly into the ships interface to screw with them directly... which happen to have no biological parts.

replicators are too small to stick them into.  best the borg could hope to do is contain them in a forcefield.

The winner is the one who screws with the enemy fastest. The question is more likely to be: Replicators or Borg Nanites?

Oh dear god - Borg assimilate replicator ==> Borg mechanical parts made entirely from self-replicating nanites. Everything would be totally fucked.

Now THAT is a scary thought.....*shudder*
Imagine entire CUBES replicating....

Borg will win... here is why:

Replicators will be outnumbering borg> Borg adapt making their numbers equivelent> Replicators will use their various weapons> Borg adapt against them> Eventually they find out that the Borg beat their poker hand with a Royal flush> GAME OVER FOR THE REPLICATORS... Borg Wins!

Personally, I always wondered who would win between the Replicators and Species 8472 - sort of an 'ultimate machine-race vs ultimate organic-race' showdown...

The Go'auld, of course!  Once they seize control of some 8472 stuff, and for all intents and purposes achieve the divinity they claimed to have in the first place.

If the Borg couldn't assimilate 8472, there's no way the Go'auld could.

Not to mention the go'auld stop being "all that" later in the SG Franchise.  How many times were they thwarted by machine guns and C-4?   I bet 8472 would be a slightly bigger threat, considering that most of their ships can 3 shot Borg cubes or whatever.
