"We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."

And that's how this character's story began! Though I must admit it's complex even in my head. Lets see how well I can write it down here.

There was five bots on a space ship, on their way to a distant colony. Something went wrong with their warp drive and they were drifting in space and before they could start fixing it, a huge portal opened next to them. From it came out a huge cube, a Borg ship, but it was damaged for unknown reasons. The ship's crew was in awe; a medic Stringbin, a scientist Litmaim, one guard Plier, the pilot was Destow and the fifth passenger, who was not in awe, was a criminal in stasis-lock called Wirecut.

Their amazement turned into a worry when the Borg ship seized theirs with a tractor beam and a gloomy sounding message repeated from the speakers. Not a moment longer there was small half organic, half technological creatures teleporting inside their ship. They didn't seem very threatening so not even the guard in the group raised weapons against them, which they all should have. Before the guard new better, one had been teleported right on his shoulders and the creature gave him an electronic shock which made him fall to the floor in an instant. That alerted rest of the bots but the Borg kept teleporting new arrivals, total of six, which each had exact plans for the ship's crew. There wasn't a great battle since the bots had no chances against the shocks and soon all five were teleported back to the Borg ship.

The Borg failed to assimilate first four, but learned the basics of Cybertronians from the medic who happened to be the fourth. Because those four were now on the verge of death and yet very valuable with all the information, the Borg decided that to keep them alive they had to unite all five into one bot, the one that was in stasis-lock and most capable of assimilation. The plan was a success as they installed all four bots' brain modules into the prisoner. What the Borg didn't know, was the fact that bots can survive as individuals even with just brain left, thus the four that was now one, made a plan to unlock the stasis off of the criminal as they knew how dangerous Wirecut was.

Stasis lock removed just before the assimilation would finalize, the biggest bot woke up and immediately knew the situation as the other four shared information about it in an instant. The prisoner wasn't happy at all and tore through the already broken Borg ship with ease, destroyed the tractor beam generator in the process and escaped by jumping from the Borg ship to land on their still intact space ship. Wirecut didn't plan on going back to prison, thus tried to change the course of their ship, but because the guard knew the code for stasis-lock, he put Wirecut back to sleep.

Although Wirecut was out of commission, the other four were still able to use the body, but not to its full potential. They noticed very fast that if they tried to use it as if all were normal, they'd overload the normal neural pathways and then they'd all be just a motionless bot until natural recovery would fix the damage. Thus they came up with a plan to synchronize their motion-section and use lesser paths to move with manual impulses. That method prevented them from any complex maneuvers including the use of the host's face.

Slowly they were able to fix the warp engine and while on their way back to Cybertron, as the colony was out of the question, they installed speakers and other devices to help communications with others than the four of them. Due to the dangerous criminal almost on the loose, their mutual agreement was to keep their host in a stasis-lock until a method could be found to make everyone separate again.

How they can live together like that has gone through a lot of trials and errors and inner fights but eventually they started to settle down and accept each other. Because they were only one bot, they decided to keep the Borg name to keep it simple and as a living warning to others if they were to encounter the Borg.

After all...

TL;DR: Five of Eleven is four mechs in one femme.

Yeah, a bit of a head ache right there and not the most accurate... but I had fun with this one.
