The worst thing they ever did to the Borg was to give them an empathetic identity, and then a queen. To give a re-programmed Armada clockwork as a companion would take some of that mystique away. We're deliberately trying to keep them as "other" as possible, to emphasize their creepiness and maximize their potential as enemies. They're tougher than you, they are relentless, you have almost no window on their thought process, and they don't care what you think. That's really what I was aiming for with the Armada. The shark from Jaws is the most extreme example of this, but another one that I dearly love is the Borg (pre Hugh and I, Borg: the season 2 and 3 Borg). One of my favorites is the Force of Nature - monolithic, unstoppable, and unfathomable: you're scared of them because you can't empathize with them. There many different types of villains out there: the bumbling bully (Popeye's Bluto), the nemesis (he's just like you but evil: think Belloq to Indy Jones), the evil genius (Hannibal lector and so many more). I'm here to tell you, I don't like the idea - the way I'm looking at things right now, I don't see it happening (at least for a looooooooooong time).
