The Zerg need to assimilate new species to adapt and the Xenomorphs are relatively few in number. Not sure about the Bugs because I haven't read or watched Starship Troopers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797525.page GMT Bug War! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797530.page GMT Bug War!

So true, but maybe we can pull a one in a billion shot of wiping out the weakened (If the surviving race doesn't absorb their adversaries' traits) kinda like waiting for the last one standing the coming out with a rocket launcher or a nuke at the last one. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797564.page GMT Bug War! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797578.page GMT Bug War! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797661.page GMT Bug War! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1797696.page GMT Bug War! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798553.page GMT Re:Bug War!

Pfft. Maybe against a bunch of human redshirts. Tyranids and Zerg could both just overrun them. Remember, the Xenomorphs prefer launching stealth attacks, with is fairly pointless against a horde of Gaunts or Zerglings.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798649.page GMT Bug War!
Realistically the only 2 bug races worth comparing are Tyranids and Zerg. The Zerg just don't have the numbers to match the 'nids, and they don't have any particular strengths over them either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798735.page GMT Bug War!

It's also worth noting that the Zerg usually begin an invasion via infiltration; they drop Creep spores in, along with a few basic lifeforms. They gradually build up their presence (usually near human settlements so they have a source of food and infestees) before attacking in full force.

Tyranids, OTOH, launch spores and then hammer the feth out of a planet (unless it's home to Genestealers). Zerg are like a scalpel, 'nids are like a hammer nuke fething enormous steamroller driven by Cthulu.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798775.page GMT Bug War!

For me the Bugs would stand a chance but it's still quite small, imagine if their brain bugs could short out the hivemind or overmind/kerrigan's control over their minions. That and the main bug infantry is much much more stronger and resilient then Gaunts or Zerglings.

Yeah I'd agree Xenomorphs would be pretty much squashed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798819.page GMT Bug War! SST are probably the most intelligent of the four since they were capable of hitting a city, a target a few miles wide, from several trillion miles away using an asteroid without any self propulsion. The fact they even hit Earth let alone a major city on Earth is amazing.

Also they're the only one of the four to develop technology like lasers and space ships without messing with their genetics. Bug swarm + innovation + technology = romper stomper

I still think Nids win.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798907.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1798907.page GMT Bug War!

Quoted for being amazingly true.

Edit:
Overall, I'd say 'Nids.

SST Bugs just don't seem to be as massive a threat, just a bit smarter.

Xenomorphs are to few in numbers. The others would just swamp them.

Zerg are simply Tyranids, except made in China.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1799083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1799083.page GMT Bug War!
SST bugs however, have a much bigger shot IMO, tank bugs could really ruin someones day, even if it's a Hierophant.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1800098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308780/1800098.page GMT
