If you find them, and if you do find them, they will fight back. If you're set on isolating me and attacking just me with a giant amount of hivemind minions, then I'd be okay, if I can at least get the chance for aid from other people, such as the friendly robots that are the opposite of your hostile organics. The exact opposite, actually. I'll even support it if I've got the Hivemind on one side, and the... Auxillium Collective, I think, on the other side, with the Valks as a sort of strategic point. After all, with the disrupter weapon, one could effectively stun the hivemind, disrupting the whole linked-y-ness, and by using it on the Mind itself, it would stop it. It wouldn't be dead, so there wouldn't be the need of making a new one, so really, the Hivemind would effectively come to a complete standstill in terms of organization, and the make-new-Mind instinct wouldn't kick in cause it's still there, just not giving any orders.

The minds are not a battle field unit, they're not easy to reach. And wouldn't the fact that it is now brain dead mean it isn't transmitting orders or signals? So wouldn't it be considered dead or at least damaged and rebuilt?
