I'm against any massive changes to the flash personally.
The borg has the weakness that if someone wants to kill them for any reason then they're probably out for the round, and the flash is incredibly debilitating, but borgs have the station itself as their weapon. Robust borgs can bolt or even electrify doors behind them while they're being chased. A lot of things that hold people down is laughable to a Cyborg due to every borg having basic tools. And that's just the absolute most basic defenses. God help you if the borg is smart enough to have nasty chemicals to stab into people, or if they have traps ready to shake off or even kill their pursuers, such as things left behind by traitors. Hell, activating the teleporter after you pass through it is a great way to potentially set anyone chasing you on fire, or worse.
And all of THAT is if only the cyborg is subverted, and not the entire AI system. Rogue Borgs that have the attention of their fellow Rogue AI means that if no one caught on to the AI yet, the borg can be supported with most of the tactics mentioned above without fear of having to click on something at high speeds. The teleporter for example can be set up ahead of time, and if the AI knows no one is on their Robospeak frequency, they can guide them to places to separate and kill people themselves.
