There are 20,000 cycles per billion years. Intelligent life wouldn't have come around until 3 billion year ago in this galaxy at the absolute minimum, and then they would probably have to evolve another half billion to achieve that level of technology.

40,000 Reapers is my best guess, assuming each cycle produces 1 new Reaper and none are missed. Give or take 10,000.

That doesn't look like any small no.

[Zakatak757]

Actual, since we are so close.

50'000 Reapers, or at least 50'000 cycles. It would add alot of situational irony to the story, as well as make you ponder "hmmm, higher powers at work?" without throwing it in your face like the end of BSG (still love that show though).

Technically, 49'998 since the last 2 Reapers failed.

Too many.

[CptBomBom00]

I think there is even more waiting in the dark space, and what we have to fight with it's probably just few of them, I bet that between galaxies are hordes of those monsters, just waiting to be awaken and start and end to everything as we know it.

[The Spamming Troll]

zero.

soverign was a lie.

[CptBomBom00]

Ah yes how could I forget none of this Reaper thing happened, Sovereign was a lie biotic terrorist attacked the citadel that time and they have drugged everyone even sheaprd and his squad to have hallucinations that they see reaper, same thing with collectors, the have never existed, the colonist just moved to another planet and Shepard in the collectors base? that was a Las Vegas top class casino and hotel.

[hellcat420]

there are 5 reapers left.

[androshalforc]

I believe it was said in me1 that when the reapers attack they shut down the mass relay network and then take out the various planets one by one so there would not have to be all that many of them

[pennnguin]

Probably a few thousand. They also probably hit humanity and the Turians because they make up the bulk of the council's military.

There is no reason to believe they only create one reaper per cycle.

The Reapers start once the species reach a sufficiently advanced state, and even then, the species may not produce a feasible Reaper. The Protheans were made into Collectors, not Reapers, and Harbinger considered Asari, Turians, Quarians, and Drell not good enough to be turned into Reapers. Krogan were good enough, but the genophage ruined them.

The cycles may produce more than 1 new Reaper, or it may produce no new Reaper. Also, the time between cycles is not fixed, only once intelligent life become advanced enough does the cycle begin anew.

[WOLF_00]

Their number is in thousands but not exceeding 10,000. Only 500 - 1000 are large as Souvrign,while other are smaller Reapers with limited capabilities.

[Sethan_1]

Q: So, how many Reapers do you think there are?
A: None. We have dismissed this claim.

[Northernian]

At least more than a thousand. And who knows, maybe they become even stronger when they attack as fleet. "One will, many minds." Goal: Harvesting all advanced organic life. Then leaving the seeds of the new ones, once they got what they need. It's like farming.

[Drone223]

300

[Ben800000]

Maybe millions. There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way (per Wikipedia), so even if only one in ten thousand star systems is worth visiting to them, there would have to be a lot to finish up the galaxy within a few hundred years.

[WOLF_00]

There number shall represent their might in building the Cidetal and Mass Rely network across the galaxy. The Mass Relay network connect all galaxy system together, where there's a relay within each solar system across the galaxy, and they all connected together.

The Reapers will need millions of years, if their number in thousands; to build extensive network in addition to the Cidetal. And this may explain their shell structure to be like hand fingers to build and carry, and destroy...

[Northernian]

Yeah maybe it's more than a million. Indeed, we have hundreds of millions of star systems in the galaxy. But onlya very selected few of those harbour organic life to evolve to its apex. Rare earth theory. http://en.wikipedia....rth_hypothesis

THEY WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT REAPERS IN THE NEWS

Use logic, or read the news text below the video, it says the Alliance is prepairing for an assault by an unknown enemy, it was thousands of ALLIANCE ships that had gathered over Europe, god.

Expert: I'm talking about thousands actually.
NEWSREPORTER: Is is then your opinion that is a preparation for a legitimate attack?

Problem.

Alliance has only 200 ships and not every single one is on Earth( some patrolling, some docked at Arcturus Station, some guarding Citadel).


And below it says that Alliance DENIES that this UFO's are invading.

that was before first contact. they have expanded greatly since then.

[WOLF_00]

This is very interesting articles, Northernian. However, given the theory of rare earth, they shall be at least 40,000 earth like plant in Milikyway. Still need a lot of Reapers to get network ready for all species in the galaxy for free travel between different system

       You have to remember also that they could have had failures too, as from what EDI theroized about the Protheans is that the Reapers failed to make a Prothean Reaper. Which is why the Protheans became the collectors, so they could serve another purpose.
