The Reaper invasion was an inside job.

In ME2, I remember Harbinger said something like "We are your salvation through destruction." and "Prepare these humans for ascension."

Maybe the reapers' intentions are not as bad as we think. The reapers may be some kind of guardians, who protect the higher dimensions of the universe. Maybe they are constantly fighting some evil beings/forces on a plane of existence far beyond our understanding and they need to replenish their ranks every 50,000 years (this time may not seem so long to beings on a higher level of existence).

Yeah, I had that thought too. Pretty much exactly the same as what is quoted above. But I dismissed it. Given all the tropes in the game (humans are special, Earth is special, blah blah) I can't see BW going for this.

Definitely not the twist I'd prefer.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'd like it. It's just something I came up with when I was trying to think of plausible (not necessarily preferable) plot twists.

Shepard and Joker wake up in a flat.

Shepard: Dude...

Joker: Yeah dude?

Shep: Where's the Normandy?

The Reapers are from our future. Being part machine now, Shepard is Harbinger's mother/father.

Shepard has a Cerberus control chip after all—Miranda lied.

Talk about doing a complete 180...

The protheans scientists survived and went into hiding and slowly repopulated. also i've been doing a play through of ME1 and reading all of the planet descriptions and on klencory in the kepler verge it says a volus is excavating for "lost crypts of beings of light." The entities were created at the dawn of time to protect organic life from synthetic "machine devils." maybe that has something to do with ME3 or its just a crazy volus.

 Shepard is a human reaper... That's how they rebuilt him in mass effect 2....

[nicki92]

The Reapers already destroyed Earth and the rest of the galaxy. Shepard is an anomaly that pops up every 50,000 years to try and stop it from repeating.

Shepard is Keanu Reeves!!!

This is interesting, and you never know. After all, the planet Klendagon in the Century System of the Hawking Eta cluster had a similarly intriguing planetary database entry in ME1, and it was a main plot point in ME2.

I seriously doubt it is this, but just to contribute my own crackpot theory:

Your Saren-like antagonist is an indoctrinated and cybernetically 'enhanced' clone of yourself. When the Reapers couldn't recover your corpse, they went with the next best thing, and most of the galaxy doesn't know that he/she is not you.

Similar to the OP's first idea, Cerberus is controlling the Reapers so TIM and Co can ride in with their Deus Ex device and save the day. Spec ops teams are deployed to erase any evidence/people pointing to Cerberus. A little bit Arcturus Mensk, its been done before but never on such a scale.

Also Zaeed is spacer Shep's dad.

[Paulinius]

Shepard realizes there is no way to stop the Reapers at the current moment. All he can do is distract them long enough that some organics can successfully hide until the Reapers leave, so they have a 50,000 year head start for the next cycle.

Admiral Hackett is Earthborn Shep's father?

[Dreadwing 67]

I have more a "Luke....we kissed on Hoth and I AM YOUR SISTER" kind of twist.

In all the endings the Reapers die, but only because the Batarians come in at the last second and obliterate the weakened Reapers.

Lets face it, No one is going to help the Batarians. I'll recruit the damn Volus to kill the Reapers' credit than get those four eyed things.

[mjh417]

I dont get why anyone would even for a second think Bioware would have Shep be indoctrinated in ME3, if that happened how could you reasonably still role play and make choices. Its just a dumb twist in general that I dont think would warrant the "Luke I am your father" comparison. I suspect whatever this twist is, it has to do with the Prothean and Reaper history and a revelation about that.

When we find out that Harbinger is actually from Jersey

[Sister Helen]

Oh good lord. Please don't make Harbinger from New Jersey... I really don't want to see Harbinger in a cut off shirt and hanging out with Snookie.

[Sister Helen]

... A "Luke, I am your father moment"...? ...

How about this:

Shep (in ME2) is a modified clone of TIM. TIM just hacked the Citadel records so that C-Sec's equipment would read the modified clone to be "Shep."

After all, C-Sec security is completely full of holes; both Kasumi and Thane remark on it.

Cerberus wanting the reapers to destroy the Earth is ridiculous. TIM would never stand for it. If you think otherwise you don't understand his character.

Shepard being an AI is unlikely.

Shepard having reaper tech in him is the most likely. We now know that TIM got his eyes from his encounter with the Arca Monolitn, and ME2 we see that the renegade Shep's eyes have the same design as TIM's. And before anyone denies the obvious, paragon Shep's eyes are still cybernetic yet disguised.

I think the Council is just foolish, not indoctrinated. It seems risky to indoctrinate those at the center of the galactic government. That would make it very likely that the effects of indoctrination would be discovered.

I think the big twist will be that Earth actually falls whilst Shep gathers allies to take it back. Like, there's no way to prevent it from falling to the Reaper reaping, that you can't actually save it.
Bang, straightaway humans are a near extinct race, with billions upon billions dead. It'd be such a bittersweet kick in the groin for humanity to carve out it's place in the galaxy, only to be the first race wiped in the Reapers path.

[cactusberry]

Conrad Verner is TIM's cousin.

Mm, that'd be a nice one.
