not all of them look like that.

It's all the same basic design. Generaly similar, anyway. I don't see the problem.... They look cool to me.

Harbinger is in my nightmares.

'Cause it would be stupid to have a bunch of giant robotic humanoids floating around in space.

This seems to be the prevailing "wisdom" but I've never understood it.

My first thought when Sovereign was revealed to be a reaper: if he's the ultimate machine, why does he look organic?

I don't see how robotic humanoid spaceships are any more or less "stupid" than robotic cuttlefish spaceships, but whatever.

The cuttlefish shape is less stupid because the creature itself already moves like a spaceship version would, a floating and pushing motion as is it were the cuttlefish swimming. A human can't be translated well into a spaceship because it would have to either float along doing the running man dance or make a SuperMan pose and blast to infinity and beyond. It definitely would look more stupid.

Really? I dream of the day my Shepard gets to kick the crap outof him.

There is a couple that look like shoehorns in that picture.

The Reaper's look is pretty bad ass. I would be lol'ing if there were giant terminators hovering around in space

I always pictured the Human-Reaper doing a backstroke.

Making me sad that so many people can't tell that's a spider =(


Preys on other spiders, that one does.

I think the cuttlefish look is why they changed the Reapers' look from ME1 and ME2. If you notice the difference.

Notice the "frontal tentacles". And if you look at the ME2 and 3 Reapers; they don't have those.

[No1Codename47]

I like the theory and idea that the "Cuttlefish" look is merely the Reaper shell. We've all seen the concept art for how the human Reaper would've looked if the Collectors finished it, i wonder is this what the Reapers really look like under their shell? Metalized versions of the race they created the Reapers from? Or was that metal skeleton design exclusive to the human Reaper? I assume we have to take what EDI says as face value - even though there's no way she'd know for sure that Reapers attempt to create a Reaper from ever race they defeat - but i wonder what race Sovereign was made from? And Harbinger too - hell even the derelict Reaper. Is EDI's theory perhaps even wrong? Regardless i've got a feeling we'll find out a lot more about their origins in ME3, including seeing what they really look like outside of their "shell".

[Reptillius]

Also keep in mind. That big base stomping around in the E3 trailer is a full blown reaper. So we know they have different looks to them. We can't at this time be sure just what differentiates their looks.

[marshalleck]

They look like how Chtulhu is roughly described and depicted in art of the author HP Lovecraft's works. Well, his head at least. Cthulhu is an ancient godlike evil that slumbers at the bottom of the ocean for eons at a time before periodically waking and attempting to take over the world, or at least drive everyone insane.

It just so happens that Cthulhu resembles a cuttlefish, therefore the Reapers resemble cuttlefish.

[DoNotIngest]

Maybe that was a Vaterral Reaper...?



Y'know, without the shell on.

[Mister Mida]

As marshalleck has pointed out, the Reapers are heavily inspired by Lovecraft's Chtullhu, the thing that should not be.
