Thought this was an interesting one... Both 'Nids and The Bugs are vast in number, however it doesn't take long for a single xenomorph to start up a brood... a matter of hours... however again, Xenomorphs don't have bio-cannons and spine shooters and all that tech. I've seen convincing arguements for both Nids and Xenomorphs, some saying Xenomorphs would take on the attributes of the Nids they were born inside (i personally can't see a face hugger getting very far with a 'gaunt myself) whilst others say the Nids would adapt the new xenomorphs into their synapse system and take control of the xeno brood.

Personally as far as Xeno vs Nid is concerned i think the Nids win. Whats been forgotten in many arguments ive seen is that Nids have Hive Fleets which can rain down orbital chitenous mayhem upon their enemies AS WELL.

Heres where The Bugs could stand a chance... they have massive Plasma bugs which can act as orbital defense etc etc

Personally I just like the Nids and think they'd rape pretty much everything they come across... even in space with their massive living laviathan mother ships etc.

yeah i know its a fail battle but its quarter to six in the morning and my brain just hit its equivalent of the twilight zone.
