The Reapers have already invaded!

[shoggoth1890]

They don't really looks more like the reaper cuttlefish than they do any other cuttlefish. People just latch onto it because of its name. Sovereign is too much like a mix between a cuttlefish and tick to say a specific type of cuttlefish.

Harbinger


Harbinger on the other hand reminds me of a cockroach. A big disgusting 2km long metallic bastard cockroach. Yuck.

Harbinger looks like a Prothean/Collector head to me.

This guy is seriously onto something..
I'm gonna completely 180 on my argument before and vouch that the Reapers most likely DO resemble the species that they've been constructed from!

Why did Harbinger alone have such a connection with the Protheans/Collectors?
Answer: He IS the Collector-Reaper (and was most likely built using their DNA so he could 'assume control')...

Maybe the Human-Reapers' true purpose was along the same lines...

Thought of that too when he mentioned it.

I can see it working now, as long as the mantle stops being described in terms of an accessory.

wait a second... if you think a little the human reaper looks like a husk !!!!

A giant and ugly husk that can do an "assuming direct control" on the human husks

If the Reapers take form of the races that they liquify, then why do most reapers look the same!

They don't all look the same. Are you just going to continue to ignore this?

Edit: this should not be taken as endorsement of the idea that Reapers take their shape from the species they 'reap'

Dude, he probably meant "roughly the same"...  

Then why did he earlier say:

because EVERY single aspect of them looks idential.

That's a highly specific, unambiguous statement.

We do know that the Collectors were genetically modified by the Reapers to the point of not even resembling what they originally were, so the similarity in design of the head could be in the opposite direction; Harbinger making them in his image. Reapers do have a god complex after all.

That definitely sounds more reasonable

no, it sounds just as fanfic.

The Collectors look nothing like the Prothean statues on Ilos. Obviously the eyes and wings and whatnot were added by the Reapers to better facilitate "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL". The original Protheans look more like Prawns from District 9.

[White_Buffalo94]

I think that it may have something to do with the time they were created. Every 50,000 years, the life from the world is snuffed out by the reapers (Sapient life anyway, I am assuming). So maybe the cuttlefish look is simply one of the earlier designs/shapes of a species they overtook. The last race they took over was the Protheans, but they failed to make it a reaper, so maybe life before them was distinctly more squidlike

Having a sense of scale in this matter will make things a lot more clear. At which point it seems pretty obvious.

That other piece of concept art(left) is also an in development reaper. Therefore it could be smaller then the final thing and there could be additional armor that'd be layered on to defend their "investment"

Just imagine a giant metallic skeleton with a giant scythe

[Bogsnot1]

I think I just found my next tattoo. Any idea where I can get a higher res version of it from?

[Uhh.. Jonah]

The reapers look like giant bugs. I want to know what alien species created those bug-like reapers.. and wonder if there are any different reapers.

 Look people, it is as clear as a bright day that reapers which have been fully constructed have a similar feature: the shell, and have different shape, depending on the species they come from, shape that is visually brought to a certain standard, part of this being because of the shell...







This makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?  ( sorry, I know my paint skills suck lol ) 

That is why this argument makes not sense! If the backside of the Reaper is supposed to resemble the species used to create it, in this case, human which explains why the backside has a human face resembleance. Then how come all of the other reapers backsides look the same? There are no distinct characteristics that obviously say "This reaper used this species while that reaper used that species". No! Instead they all have the same similar.

Personally, I believe they are Transformers.

He is referring to their underside, not the top. Best I can remember, we don't really get a good look at any Reaper bellies.

On a separate note, all this talk of machines in machines has conjured simultaneous images of Gurren Lagann and nesting dolls.

I just finished the game again... And I watched the scene in which Harbinger releases control of the Collector General.

The hologram of Harbinger show's Harbinger's "eyes" placed in a similar fashion with the Collectors/ Collector General, thing that becomes more obvious when Harbinger releases control and the light in both's eyes go away in the same time... He also closes his arms/legs ( like closing a fist) in a movement similar to those of the Collector general.


So yeah, we can safely bet that Harbinger = Collector/Prothean reaper, by what we got so far

Edit: take a look

We cannot safely bet, 'cause hologram has 5 eyes.
And this speculation is useless, devs will make (or they have already made) Reapers' story and looks how they want.

This! And his (Bluko) logic is a little flawed anyway. Saying that the reaper on the right cannot be the reaper on the left means that a species that can be made into a bigger reaper must've been much bigger, too. GODzilla-like giants probably.


For me, seeing that the reapers using organic material to create their offspring is a clear sign that these things are more then mere machines. They can evolve, they can grow, maybe even on their own. Creepy. ^^
