Bugfight!!

[Warshrike]

Of these insectoid Hordes, which do you believe would turn out to be the most powerful;
The Zerg(Starcraft, Two included)
The Tyranids(40k)
The Arachnids(SST, All Canon counts)

Of course, any other hordes of chittering bugs you can think of can also be included, Just name 'em!!

Also, should the Replicators be counted?? Not Insects, technically, but still insectoid to some degree...

And two answers would be helpful; The first on a grand, galactic scale, and the second on a planetary value. That is, Who would win the War, and who would win the Battle??

Tyranids, They have an intergalactic fleet numbering in the trillion as their vaunguard.

Oh the Tyranids by far. I don't know much about the other races, but the Tyranid scouting forces have posed serious threats to the entire galaxy. Unless you defeat them utterly, they can just drag your dead and their dead back and make more of them before stripping down the planet on the molecular level until it is utterly devoid of life.
