 Ok so at this point it is probably too late but fun to speculate. Provided you saved the Rachni Queen, let's say at one pioint in the game you are fighting a Reaper alongside servaerl Rachni drones and ships. The Queen shows up too because she controls the troops and wants revenge for the crimes commited against her ancestors (Evil songs was it?). However the Reaper critically injures her and she is about to die. 

Now you could choose to let her die and essentially lose the Rachini as well or you could help the Queen. Now we don't know much about Rachni biology or technology but say the Queen has a plan of transfering her conciousness into a body and then using rapid mutations to modify herslef into a humanoid Queen but with some Rachni features and skin textures. Say red scales and tentacles from her back. 

Bam! New Squadmate, humanoid Rachni Queen. She could use guns or some natural bio weapon that we could level up as well as biotics. She could have Morinth's Dominate as well considering the trick with the Asari back on Noveria.

Would this be a good idea? Would it gel well with the rest of the universe or is it way too fantasy inspired?
Also, what if this was James Vega's ultimate purpose? He sacrifices himself.

Just an idea I had after playing Starcraft.

EDIT:

OH NO! WRONG FORUM! Please move to charecter forum!

No, this isnt Starcraft.

Plus Blizzard would probably jump at the opportunity to sue for taking their design of Kerrigan as the queen of blades.

Sums it up pretty well. That would be such a blatant character design rip from Starcraft.

If this happens, I want the zerg swarm and a marine.

I don´t see any need for something like this, as Rachni queen has already way of control over organic creatures that have been in contact with her.

Yeah, it kind of would be a fairly blatant rip-off of Kerrigan (and I've played SC/SC2). I like Kerrigan & all, but I think it's best to stick to unique and original character designs/concepts (also, I expect BW would get sued by Blizzard if the had some sort of Kerrigan clone). At the moment, I just hope that the rachni queen herself doesn't turn into a husk, heh.

The idea of getting a rachni-based or rachni-influenced squadmate isn't terrible in itself, though as stated above including a so obviously SC2-copied character would just be silly.

Furthermore unless BW can find an actual niche and purpose for a new character, they should think long and hard before including it. Having a bunch of new characters that are just patchworks of already existing character abilities doesn't seem necessary either.
