What about the scene at the end of Mass Effect 2, what are they?
those are the machines built by the protheans, as i said sovereign was at least it my opinion just a captured prothean weapon(the protheans which the surviving faction became collectors, either as result of enginning in order to win the war, like the allaince military uses. or as a need for survival after the war),
It is logical to assume that the protheans and their counter-part the collectors created more than one weapon the superweapons where given the name "reapers", becasue of their killing potential. akin to the present dreadnought.
The collectors being defeated by shepard signaled their force of ships to attack and purge life from the galaxy.
please remember that soverign the so called "reaper" that attacked the citadel was actually captured by the geth.
Except, the end cut scene in ME2 doesn't make any sort of sense if you follow your theory. There's too much you'd have to explain.
Occam's Razor time:
1) The "Reapers" are a prothean-built super weapon that both the "Protheans" and counter-prothean "Collectors" had. Yet, unlike in other instances of two sides facing Mutally Assured Destruction, they went ahead and killed each other off. The survivors then proceeded to (either independantly or through conspiracy) create eveidence of Reaper legends just prior to destroying almost all evidence of their civilization.
Then several milenia later, the Geth found and hi-jacked "Sovereign" and perpetuated the Reaper Myth well enough to attract Saren and set him up as their figure head, all the while contacting and and presumably overpowering the surviving Collectors on the off chance that Saren's attack failed.
Upon Saren's death they send out Legion to contact Shepard and put forth a campaign of misinformation but the Collectors get him first. This campaign of disinformation is so envolved that they fake Harbinger's existance TO THE COLLECTORS.
Then upon the Collectors destruction the Geth presumably unleash a Reaper Fleet.upon Earth.
OR
The Reaper's are in fact real, and you've way overthought and by extention, so have I.
My brain hurts.
