the Replicators cannot realistically be defeated, not without knowledge of what they are and how they work, which only the Ancients have (and O'Neill through the Ancient Library...Head sucker!) but all in all they are far worse than the Flood, since the Flood need life to survive, the Replicators do not therefore totally removing the advantage that the Halo Installations gave the Forerunner, also their number grows exponentially from one. so stick a single Replicator onto a Forerunner colony, it disappears into some sewer somewhere and starts feasting on those lovely super-strong Forerunner metals, before you know it you have millions of the things crawling out of every nook and cranny.
the Asurans, or human form Replicators are even worse again! since again you cannot kill a human form without knowledge of what it is and how it works, you can shoot them all you want, blow them up, steamroller them, throw Flood at them until pigs fly and it wouldn't stop. the only problem is they are adaptive so become resistant to technologies used against them, even the anti-replicator weapon made from Ancient technology stopped working in the end, so in essence a single human form Replicator walks onto a Forerunner Fortress ship and that is one Fortress ship that ain't going anywhere fast and a LOT of trouble heading your direction!
on another note, one human Replicator vs. all the the SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III, wonder what would happen! similar thing applies to one Necron Warrior vs. all the SPARTANs, reckon you'd end up with a load of MIA soldiers!
