You'd be correct. However,

Megatron inferior. Galvatron superior.

Same mind, more uber body :D

Bester: Babylon 5


I'd agree with that.  Bester was awesome.

One other guy from B5:  the inquisitor.  Sure he was only one episode, but come on, he's Jack the Ripper.

For anyone who's played the Baldur's Gate series.  Irenicus.

Ah... him...

Anyway, the Borg or Beast gets my vote, mainly just because their little "poem" has been my fav for a long time :D (Comon, you all know it...). The Beast was just evil. Plain evil.

Bah. Q was annoying as hell. I can barely stand to watch any episode he's in. The only good things to ever come out of Q episodes were the introduction to the Borg (and I can think of ten other ways to have introduced them) and Worfs comment about not being a merry man. That one cracks me up every time :lol:

I remember when HW: Cataclysm was due to enter stores, PC Gamer had a review on the game.  On the last page in the corner, they had a comparison between the Borg and the Beast called "Assimilation Showdown".  It said something like this:

"...the Beast was just a spinoff of the Borg...  Plus, who wouldn't be scared of a giant cube in space?"

The most memorable Arch-villians would be the lighters from the game Forced Alliance!
Pity few people played that game, it was a damn fine one too- perhaps better than FS itself when it came to storywise :nervous:

Lest we forget the Ultimate Badass of Ultimate Badasses:

Kane

The Brotherhood is a joke, Kane himself has always been the threat.


yeah Kane was among the best, especially in the first game. What happened to him at the end of firestorm anyway? He became fused with that cabal dude or something... :wtf:

Space Police would 0wn them any day :p

then of course, you have the Spyborgs or whatever...


at least the Blacktrons are well balanced. :p The first-generation Space Police ships were a combination of really heavy firepower and nonexistant engines, while the second-gen Space Police ships had multiple huge engines and crap weaponry. :p :D

Anyway, the ultimate Arch-Enemy is obvious. The big, fuzzy bundles of trans-stellar death we lovingly called the Kilrathi.

Voted Borg, but I must clarify that as a TNG-era Borg. ;)

Almost voted Shivans, though. I didn't simply because they aren't all that much more unusual then a run-of-the-mill, super-powerful, bad-ass alien species. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

It's either the Administrator from Half-Life or Kefka from Final Fantasy III.

Unicron was weak. He only returned from certain death a couple of times while Megatron/Galvatron just kept doing it. :)
