I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the Magog so far... they seem to fit many of these criteria, only slightly less so than these new super-villains.
Then there's also these new Yutzes-Vong that are invading the "Star Wars" universe in their novels which I haven't bothered to read since the first one.
Let's face it -- it's a tired old cliche. Which is one reason why I was really dreading the Andromeda finale, and why I couldn't care less about what happens to everyone next season.

Well, I considered those two, but they communicate AND have motive. Of course, the Magog motive IS to KILL EVERYONE, but they have a reason behind it.

Genesis 6:4 [NASB] "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown."

How about Fred Saberhagen's "Berserker" roboships?
They came from parts unknown. They were out to kill all organic life. (Which was everyone but them) They only pretended to negotiate. They were pretty advanced, but their abilities were sometimes their weaknesses as well. They weren't especially numerous, but they were all devastating. They could wipe out whole planets individually.
