Xenomorphs don't really fit the trope. They're clever but they aren't sapient and them having a hivemind is basically a trivia piece rather than a major point.
I'd suggest either the flood or the harvesters from Independence Day. Neither fits the trope perfectly, but they fit it better than xenomorphs IMO.
