If you read about it though, the Thresher Maw goes miles deep under the surface. What we're seeing is only like the tip of the iceberg. The lasers may cut through the maw and it can't really devour buildings too well.

I say Reaper, but it'll have problems getting out.

It's obvious the Reaper wins, he just gets blindsided and momentarily subdued. The Thresher slows it down, but that's all.

The Thresher has the most powerful acid in the universe. And this Thresher is ve-e-ery big and old.
So, 50/50, I think.

When I first read that paragraph, I was kind of bothered that a Thresher Maw(size of a small building and killed by tank or even sufficient small arms fire) would be able to even dent a Reaper(miles-long and requiring a fleet's worth of firepower to take down), but if it's a gigantic legendary godlike Maw, I can see it putting up a fight through sheer strength and element of surprise. Still putting my bets on the Reaper though.

The Thresher Maw won by default when it took it underground. Last time I checked, Reapers don't have drills and it's super shields are of no use since they only stop stuff going at a certain speed. The Maw's attacks hit it's armor directly and a Reaper's armor is made of the same thing as the Hammerhead's (weak armor).

This is a common mistake. The Reapers are easily destroyed by minimal firepower. It's they're shields that you have to worry about. It wasn't fith fleet which stopped Sovereign, it was the Normandy and two other small fighters.

They're shields are nigh inpenetrable, that's what protects them as the armor that comes out of the orgnic goop is very weak actually. f the Reapers had no shields, or only normal ones, it would be easy to beat them.

LOL, Arcian, you legend. XD

Anywho, this Colossal TM must be REALLY FOOKING BIG! I mean an average Maw is 300 feet long, yet Sovereign is 6000+ feet in length, although I'm guessing not all Reapers are as big as him.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Thresher Maws never cease to grow in size, so it's not a matter of size, but of age.

I'll ride that Thresher Maw against Harbinger!

Man, that scene is going to be damn awasome. I wanna see this super Maw in action and kill the Reaper.

I can imagine the Reaper going: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Indeed my friend, indeed.

No, this Harbinger must be eliminated by Shepard only

Acid by itself barely even does anything.  I once poured highly concentrated sulfuric acid on a piece of wood and nothing happened for over 5 minutes, at which point I lost interest and tossed it back into the woods.

I studied chemical engineering, actually.

Yes, I added water the 2nd time.

Am I the only one thinking about the Thresher Dragon from Galaxy of Fantasy?

Good, then I don't need to explain what it means when it comes to 'acid strenght'.

You really think a Thresher Maw acid contains sulfuric acid? Yeah, I think it's stronger than that

Acid strength is not correlated to corrosivity.

Yes? I don't see your point?

But anyway, why did you even bring sulfuric acid in this? You do know it's pretty weak compared to carborane superacid?

[Wolverfrog]

Reaper obviously wins...

Carborane superacid won't melt your face.

Sulfuric acid will.

That's my point.

Maybe you should review your chemistry texts, it seems clear to me you have no idea what you're talking about..

Not you either
