continue option 2 "non-Borg opponents"
Which is it?
I choose No. 1
That's why I think its more likely No. 1 Those Torpedos are manufactured in a way to effect Borg Vessels only. Eg. "Nanoprobe Torpedos vs Species 8472" "Pathogen vs all Cybernetic Organisms" "Multi Adaptive Shielding vs Borg Sensors"
That's also why just 1 Torp is sufficient to take out a Cube. It can't be because of sheer firepower.

I think it could only be used on Borg because thats what it was configured for in the first place like VOld pointed out.
It seems that they can configure torpedoes to do whatever they want them to do, so transphasic would be made to destroy just Borg cubes.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if they fired upon another type of ship though

Can the Transphasic torpedos cut through a borg ships shields? And another questio. Do the borg even have shields becase in the movies weapons fire hits the hull directly.

Coruse they will have sheilds. But once torpedos and phasers hit certain areas they weaken and thats how it was destroyed.

Hey Hudsonweiner, don't listen to Tobbles. He's tobbling over he's so drunk!! Transphasic Torpedos PHASE partially, and can pass through objects, but since they're only phased partially, they can still use their sensors. Therefore, after the torpedo's sensors detect the hull that it is passing through, it waits for a second, then detonates, INSIDE the enemy vessel, Borg or not. And no, Borg cubes don't seem to have shields, because every time we see a cube in action, BEFORE it's shieldscould have weakened, the enemy (StarFleet) weapons allways seem to hit right on the cube's hull, so no, they don't have shields. And again, no, Transphasic Torpedos are not Borg specific, they were designed with the idea of a cube's destruction in mind, but they will work just fine on other vessels as well. In fact, they may have even greater effect on smaller vessels, because of their destructive power.

But when voyager attacked a tactical cube, their fire hit the hull directly.
