Destroy the Reapers but keep the Relays and you're dismissing them.
You can't have both. A good story involves sacrifice, choices, change.

They are different only in scale.

They are fundamentally different. Basing yourself on the simply fact that the Reapers are physical beings to claim that they are in any way similar to organic species is nonsensical. They are more akin to a force of nature than an army.
And, even if they were. the effect that they have to the galaxy around them is what is really important.
They have controlled the fates of all lives in the galaxy since, at least, two billion years ago. There is nothing even remotelly like it in the ME universe.
One could even say that the Reapers gave the galaxy a purpose. Now, that purpose is gone.

They've never evolved past their current state. Keeping things cyclical has halted their own advancement. A Reaper built today is basically the same as the oldest of them.

They consider themselves to be the ultimate state of being.

Certainly the biggest in scale. I can agree with this. I imagine most homeworlds are ruined beyond repair and there aren't enough resources to completely rebuild. I imagine colonies (especially new colonies) will become the most important resources. I also believe some Reapers survive and remain a threat. I also believe an age of strife is highly likely as the main source of species unification being gone, the species will be at each other's throats. Humanity will be blamed for Cerberus and maybe some of Shepard's actions, asari for hiding the beacon, turans will be naturally paranoid, krogan will be feared etc. I think that's quite drastic.[/quote]
The effects you describe could all originate from any large enough war.
But a war with the Reapers, the forefathers of the galaxy, must have more unique effects.The endings did this well. Destroy, Control, Synthesis.

They are not indestructible. We can't win conventionally in the same way the 300 spartans couldn't win against the Persians. There's just too many of them and they are damn hard to kill. Get a superweapon on your side(like that weapon that sliced the ancient Reaper in ME2) and you can win just fine.

They are indestructible to us. That is all that matters.

And before that he took the entire Alliance and Council fleet head on and almost forced them to retreate.

Dreadnoughts fire, every two seconds, guns capable of leveling entire cities to the ground.
