8472 appeared in few non-Borg-episodes lateron (two I think, and their point then was to show that it can sometimes be bad that someone learns you're existant, much like Q teached Picard in "TNG: Q Who") so there's no further canon example of what the Borg were doing to "adapt" regarding 8472. Yeah, the trait of species 8472 on that particular episode was indeed their immunity to assimilation, but the Borg are constantly developing. In which case they could have become able to seriously take on assimilation of species 8472. May be they added an anti-psionic/anti-telepathic characteristic to their own.ģ. Nobody can tell (because noone thought of it) what the Borg might have encountered (and assimilated) in the meantime. STO plays much later than "Voy: Scorpion"Ģ. kinda felt they overdid it though, would have been more tasteful if 5 cubes could kill 1 bioship with concentrated fire (i mean it is just made of flesh and ramming speed worked), but the cubes couldn't ounumber the bioships enough (they seemed to control all of fluidic space so they have some numbers), and the bioships were winning.ġ. new super bad guys needed to look badass, so instead of having them fuck up tuvok or worf, they had them fuck up the old really bad guys.
probably explains why 8472 just disappeared and never appeared again (in reality their story was really at a dead end creatively). it's definitely possible 8472 couldn't adapt, they aren't masters at adaption, and the actual masters of adaption (the borg) weren't doing much adapting in that conflict either.īorg would know that 8472 were given the plans to the nanoprobe gun (the same way they would know about the nanoprobe gun's existence and design), so maybe they are scared that 8472 did manage to develop a counter. 8472 were given the weapon, but if i gave you a nuclear missile to study you would still have a hard time protecting yourself from getting killed by one. That's why i said it's reasonable not guaranteed. Tyler wrote:It would be if Janeway didn't give them the weapon so they could protect against it. maybe they couldn't find/make a weapon capable of hurting 8472 without assimilating, that is half believable, but they should have been able to do the usual adaption to enemy weapons fire that they did to the enterprise d without assiming anyone. i also think the borg were dumbed down a little too much for scorpion. they should be able to make borg cubes take at least 1 hit without just exploding horribly.

so 7 knows how to fight 8472, then later 7 rejoins the collective temporarily, she could have told them what they needed to know then.Īlso a janeway got assimilated in endgame, so the borg could have took it from her memory as well.Īlso oddly, borg cubes were destroyed quickly by the 8472 electro gun, but voyager took a hit without being destroyed. then 7 joined the crew, presumably she was told about how they fight 8472 with the nanoprobes gun.
Actually borg being able to fight 8472 is reasonable, the doctor came up with the idea of having the nanoprobes pretend to be 8472 cells by technobabbling the electrochemical thingies.
