Bloodlust reattach. GORT is devouring humanity when the Borg come to Earth to invade. Only one alien robot will have control of the planet. Who will it be?

Hmm. Could be tough. Could go either way depending on what could happen and whether the Borg nanotechnology is superior to or can assimilate the genetically organised robotic technology. Could also hang on whether the Borg are allowed to assimilate Klatu and his knowledge of how to stop GORT.

I'd like to see the replicators from Star Gate in on this action as well.

Most likely the Borg.

Is there any reason to think GORT can even threaten the Cube?

I'd say that given in its cloud of bugs form it can basically eat diamond and it replicates exponentially by consuming everything including energy from explosions then it can certainly damage or destroy the cube if the Borg can't either quickly adapt or assimilate quickly enough.

The thing is, what are they going to assimilate, that they are being eaten by Nanites? Can they even do that?

Borg assimilate using nanotechnology on a much smaller level that the Gort 'bugs' do or at least appear to do. Simply depends on whether they can. If not then can they assimilate Klatu and his knowledge to shut down Gort using the spheres or do they have that option. Or the face of it, energy weapons would be useless as Gort just increases mass with weapons. The simplest argument is that the Borg tech was shown to has limitations in that it couldn't assimilate species 8472 where as Gort's tech showed no limitation although never faced as advanced tech or biology as the Borg.

Borg nanites can also assimilate tech as well as organic matter.

Resistance is futile.. Borg ftw

Gort wins, handily.

GORT's a species killer, the Borg are more than capable of that and more. Planet busting, if need be. Really seems like it's the Borg's fight to lose, though as you said, it's not cut and dry.

Gort wins. He cannot be assimilated. Nanites wipe them all out.
