    Daleks have more efficient time travel, better personal shielding, and technology capable of destroying the universe. The borg are young, overconfident and have themselves a little empire somewhere. The daleks would just kill the borg before they existed.

    That's just cheating and yes I know the Daleks cheat. Let's say the Borg are a fixed race in time.

    Fixed until this war occurs of course.


    Daleks still win. Their personal shielding is absolutely fantastic. Their mobility is unmatched. They could probably even beat the borg at speed (few minutes to cross a galaxy vs few minutes to cross the universe). Daleks consist of an unlinked organic and mechanical part, and if one was assimilated, the other would destroy it. Without assimilation, the borg are pretty much boned. Borg ships may be scary, but the daleks could simply enter those en masse.

    The Daleks scared an army of 5 million Cyberman into retreating back to their own world, and their were only 4 Daleks. And Cyberman aren't even supposed to have any emotions. Seeing as Cyberman are pretty much the same as Borg, despite being less advanced ofc, I'd say that the full force of both Borg and Dalek armies would favor the Dalek easily.

    And if that isn't enough, they can bring in reinforcements from parallel universes, lol.

    Probably because I'm not on the Doctor Who bandwagon, but I can't find Daleks intimidating. At all.

    They're usually absolutely not intimidating at all to me either, with very few exceptions. However, they have demonstrated several acts that show their battle prowess.

    What's stopping one from tipping them over? or just walking up a flight of stairs?

    I'm not seeing anything on em that can turn 360 degrees, unless their "heads" are where the weapons are. Dalek-tipping still seems plausible.

    Flight systems make them a bit scarier though, in the same way one would be afraid of a washing machine falling out of the sky and shattering their spine.

    Those things that stick out of their torso are their weapons. Both the heads and the torsos can turn 360 degrees, seperate from one another.

    Also, they can fly freely, even through space, or from space to earth, and the other way around.

    Other then that, they're incredibly annoying every time they speak.

    I laughed when I figured out that they were saying that in German. Nice touch.

    And I don't think it's that they don't speak German... As a non-German speak, it would've been a lot harder for me to associate Ausrotten with EXTERMINATE

    Guess people from America and England see less old nazi propaganda about exterminating various people to showcase their evilness.

    Hrm.

    We see a lot of posters in our books, but I didn't actually see any video or hear audio till my college level history classes. Our school system is generally fairly censored and American-centric however, especially when it comes to WWI and WWII
