I have this single and simple question

Why the reapers decided finally to attack and reveal themselves to the entire galaxy in ME3 (ME3 trailer and ME2 ending clearly shows them advanacing to the galaxy) why didn't they do that before in Mass effect 1 or mass effect 2? when you see their masive army of reapers you do look at their plan to use the collectors as pathetic because the reapers are way more stronger than this they don't need to use the collectors, it seems the entire the conduit story fall apart with ME2 Ending.

"Random thoughts"

From what i understood (Correct me if i'm wrong) the reapers never wanted to reveal their identity and remain hidden but since their reaper spy in ME1 died (Sovereigion) and their plan to build a reaper replacment for soverigion failed in ME2 they saw no other option but to declare war and invade as a last resort because civilizations are advancing too fast for the reapers to let them stay alive, we are told that the reapers harvest races during certain times but they never leave a trace by using the mass relays to their advantage etc

But if they are attacking out of despration there seems to be a flaw left..... if they attacked now with sheer force and without a plan (like what they wanted to accomplish in mass effect 1 but failed) the galaxy races will be fully aware of them and will take all their time to advanace their technology and power to build stuff to fight the reapers whenever they return again (if the reapers only attacked earth) so if the reapers are coming to the galaxy now (and they are) they will have to kill everything not just earth, earth might be their first target but they will have to wipe the entire galaxy races and harvest everything for the last time

I really don't see anything that happened in Mass effect 2 that made the reapers say "oh we can finally attack" it's not like they were traped and finally the door get unlocked for them in mass effect 2 or 1 specially with the entire conduit story of mass effect 1.

First off, my disclaimer: I’m not saying anything specifically about the what Reapers are, what their motivations are, how they work, how they think, or anything else specifically about ME3’s plot or anything open to interpretation in ME1 or ME2. This is a spoiler free post.

That being said, I’d like to share a hypothetical situation that might start some discussion relating to the Mass Effect story line. This isn’t a real parallel, but just food for thought.

Let’s say you and your buddies live in New York. Every year you like to go to L.A. to crash a few parties. You just happen to have a secret teleporter in L.A. that gets you there instantly, and it’s programmed to go off every year. During the year, you and your buddies do your New York-thing. As a back-up plan, you’ve left good ol’ Joey back in L.A. to handle anything unexpected. Poor Joey gets no New York lovin’, but somebody has got to stay, just in case. What a guy!

Then the day comes. Everybody gathers round, waiting for the teleporter to open the door, but crap. It doesn’t go off. The door remains shut. Well, that’s a surprise, but no problem. Joey will get the door back open…. What? Somebody shot Joey? Oooo, that really chaps your hide.

Now you are going to have to DRIVE to L.A.! That takes days, and oh the logistics! Do you take your cars or rent a bus? Which hotels do you stay at? Oh, and the price of gas! And will gramps even survive a road trip cross country? It sure would have been nice to just take that teleporter.

You do have friends in L.A. but you’ve got them on their own project, and they are no Joey! And their project is very important. Nobody had better mess with them, or there will be hell to pay when you finally get to L.A.
