Ok for reals now. Its at least in the thousands. HOW THE HELL WILL WE KILL THE ALL AHHH

[jamesp81]

Enough that they can facestomp all normal opposition and finish reaping everyone within a couple of centuries, but not so many that Shepard can't come up with a way to kill them all.

My personal theory is somewhere between 500 and 1500.  Depends on the distribution of dreadnought sized reapers to cruiser sized reapers.

I think a few million.

How can we defeat them ALL?

We shall a way. But it Depends, each and everyone of us will have a different experience in ME3 because of our personal choices.

We'll ALL end up defeating the Reapers in different ways.

Too many.  You can't beat that many no matter what you do.

A bajillion.

2400 or so?

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

Well, it's a big Galaxy out there, so the number has to BEYOND the billions, or even trillions.

Realistically though its anywhere from a 1000 - 10,000. IMO. Remember the reapers only "Ascend" a race to become one of them if they either prove themselves or have the right genetics or whatever.

It takes the Reapers multiple centuries to complete an extinction cycle.  If there were that many, they could do it in a few weeks.

We're being realistic?
The reapers reap the whole galaxy in just a few centuries. Wikipedia says there are 50 billion planets in our galaxy, of which 500 million may be in the habitable zone of their star. That's a lot of reaping. And they're supposed to "darken the sky of every world". Seriously, I think there's a LOT of them.

Holy ****! I can't imagine taking THAT long to destroy something. Then again, it IS the Milky Way we're talking about.


Hey...here's a good question. 

They hybernate in dark space correct? So why do they ALWAYS attack this galaxy? Surely they would be able to make relays in others.

I guess they like us as a target the most lol:P

But the Reapers only attack space faring civilizations, which in the time of ME3, have explored maybe 1% of the galaxy, most likely a lot less than that.

 There are no reapers, there is nothing to fear. Return to your homes.

Well, it's not just destruction you see.  If they just wanted to kill everyone, they could exterminate a planetary population by nuking from orbit.  This would take mere hours.  However, we can gather from the trailer that doing a proper "reaping" takes much longer.  On a high population world it probably takes at least a few months, maybe even a couple of years.

And i bet something like 1% of those races gets to be Reaperized too.

If there are any races in those unexplored areas, that is.

And there's damned good reason to believe there isn't.  If there were, how come they haven't activated their local mass relays and contacted the Citadel races?

Short answer: they don't have the tech.  And thus, they aren't Reaper targets.

That's still a lot of reaping. From the trailer we know they spent at least a week on just one city (London).

Well, I think once I heard some crack pot scientist say that there could be other civs in the galaxy when the Earth was just starting to form, which was 4.5 billion years ago. So having that be our starting date for the first civ, let's assume that 1 in 10 50,000 year extinction cycles (every 500,000 years) result in a species being able to be Reaperfied, and that only 1 Reaper is created from said species. So, 4.5 billion/500,000=...
9000 Reapers. Matches description set by Sovereign, who said there are thousands. And this should also be enough to darken the sky of every world... that is inhabited by the soon to be extinct species.

[Welsh Inferno]

They don't want to outright butcher every single human on the planet though. They need us to create a Reaper.
