Shepard will "sacrifice" himself and become a reaper to fight the other Reapers with no chance of returning to his/her human form...uhm...

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

The Reapers have only ever harvested species from one planet... and that planet is Earth.

Harby: "Humanity... We are your cousins."
Humanity: "The ok to make out with kind, or the gross to make out with kind?"
Harby: "That's sick either ways. Yesh."
Humanity: *kicks Harby in the space-nuts*

The Citadel is a sentient construct, the Big Boss, if you will, and that the Reapers and Keepers serve it.

[squee365]

The Reapers are from another galaxy and are the result of contingency programming from an intergalactic war that happened trillions of years ago.

Hows this for a twist...

The Alliance has always known about the Reapers. Evidence of the Reapers was discovered when scientists excavated Mars and found the Prothean ruins and the technology cache, but this knownledge was kept from the civilian population. Xenophobic Alliance brass decided not to tell the citadel council after the First Contact War with the Turians. The Alliance decided that they were going to put a sustainable human population into hiding. After the galactic purge is completed and the Reapers have left the galaxy these humans would go onto repopulate the galaxy. The next 50,000 years would allow the human race to rival the technology of the Reapers, and dominate the galaxy. The Alliance orders Cerberus to retrieve and resurrect Commander Shepard because he is the only person capable of removing the Collector threat. The Alliance can't afford loss of colonies, these will be be required to repopulate the galaxy. The Alliance can't stop the Collectors head on using a fleet of ships against the Collectors because it would cause tension with the Batarians. The Alliance can't afford an all out war with massive losses of human lives.

Cerberus is then ordered to terminate Shepard because he has the potential to actually stop the Reapers at this cycle. The Alliance and Cerberus don't want a diverse galactic population of aliens, and Shepard is too resourceful.

I though that it was confirmed in Mass Effect 2 that some of the technology used in recreating Shepard came from what was recovered from Sovereign.

It was confirmed that EDI was based on reaper technology.

There has never been a single mention in the game of Reaper tech going into Shepard during Lazarus.

EDI, however, is based in part on Reaper tech.

The Mass Relays and Citadel "life force" are connected to the Reapers. When you succeed in destroying the menace every single relay core goes bonkers and explodes, the Citadel shutdowns completely while the Keepers stop/freeze and die.
This would wreak havoc on the galaxy and force the use of FTL drives.

This is my theory anyway

[Fredvdp]

The Reapers wipe out intelligent species every 50,000 years so they wouldn't evolve into a race of Reapers themselves.

That pretty much sums up everything that is in Kasumis Greybox....I think.

Reapers seeded the genetic material that created humans.

multiplayer. *trollface*

[silentassassin264]

I want Shepard's cybernetics to be Reaper tech. I just don't want you getting indoctrinated by it.

I don't think we're actually told what information the Greybox holds.  But yes this is what I think is happening.  I'm just joining up all the information, It seems logical to me.  on  slightly related note, when I read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and they started talking about Horcruxes, it hit me that Harry would be a Horrcux too.  Sure enough I was correct when I read the final book.

But we still don't know what happened to Shepard over those two days at Project Rho

I really see the Saren 2.0 (Shep indoctrinated) twist happening, but I'd prefer a twist like 1. It would be interesting to see how saving the base or not would affect that.
 

Just for fun though. 
       
           I devised this theory with my friends how Morrigan from Dragon Age is actually Shepards mom and Flemmeth and her knew of the Reaper threat within our universe and thus used the mirror to travel to ours.  She then left baby Shep with a foster family (which changes depending on your backstory). Meanwhile Flemmeth has been working with the Reapers the whole time and helped TIM to bring Shep back to life and has been working with different factions and groups (Cerberus, Alliance, Shadow Broker, etc..) within the galaxy to disable stability and use Shep to destroy everything for her own personal gain. In ME 3 we will meet Morrigan and Flemmeth and will have to decide which destiny to fulfill and who to side with (similar to Samara and Morinth). Morrigan will give you the power and ability to destroy the Reapers, but at some kind of cost, while Flemmeth will overrun you with power that allows her to control you and in doing so destroyingthe galaxy.

Morrigan shapeshifts into Harbinger and Flemeth - into Sovereign. Now Liara must lead a ritual with Grey Box on Citadel to Sovereign's rebirth, and then...:innocent:

Well, he does cry himself to sleep, muttering "bad touch, bad touch"

[KainrycKarr]

3 and 4 would work. 4 would explain the council's inexplicable incompetence.

3 would give Shepard some plot relevance; enough tech to make him....different, from human, but not enough to be huskified or remote-controlled by the reapers.

3 would make Shepard something new. maybe a new Organic Reaper. Think of Michael from the Underworld films.

Twist #3: Shepard has Reaper tech in him.  Again, this would suck, but has been discussed before.

Thought that was pretty much a given at this point...

[candidate88766]

I think it'll be something along the lines of the Reapers' motives being for the greater good and actually being justifiable, or that destroying them will bring grater harm to the galaxy than the Reapers themselves do.


Or maybe the Reapers actually created organic life as we know it. Sovereign does say 'organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident'. The galaxy, and all the amazing variety of life within it, could be nothing more than a Reaper experiment conducted over millions of years. Races have 50,000 years to prove they have something worth keeping, otherwise they are destroyed and a new range of life is tested. We assume because Shepard and others label them synthetic that they had to be built by an organic race, but what if they really are beyond our comprehension? Some people might say that seems a bit like magic, but really we have no idea how life works outside of carbon-based lifeforms. The Reapers could've evolved from entirely different base elements, closer to what we know as machines.

I'm all for the 'something is up with Keiji's greybox' twist. I'd like to know what the Alliance is hiding, and if it's Reaper related, I want it to explode in their face.

Hell, I'd like it to have repercussions for Alliance-loyalists.

[Synetric]

The Reapers harvest species because they need the technology to fight an even greater enemy that threatens them and the entire Terminus systems. So that's what the next trilogy will be about. -true trollface-

[Sister Helen]

That metal thing in Shep's spine is a bomb.

(TIM doesn't believe in letting proprietary tech leave his control. Or severance packages. ... Cerberus does have a wicked good dental plan though!)
