Sovereign was just a fatty.

That's what I thought when I first saw the teaser trailer...then I heard that the Reapers are all different sizes...
I guess if they were all the same size as Soveriegn, we really wouldn't stand a chance...

If you watch the live action ME3 trailer, towards the end you catch a glimpse of an enormous object appearing through the clouds.


Watch between 1:13 and 1:17

Sweet Jesus, that's even bigger than Harby methinks, one of the standard Reapers isn't even the size of it's arms...legs...tendrils...y'know what I mean.

if that's the golden gate bridge, it's 1280 meters long acording to wikipedia. The reaper planted on the water appears to be 200 meters long in comparison, less than the 600 meters of the smallest reapers

A half-sized reaper should be as long as the bridge

I think he's referring to the object in the sky, which is just another Reaper that only appears larger due to its proximity.

I know, but I still think the reapers in the trailer and demo are undersized of what the lore said

Would you rather have 1000 tiddlers or 1000 ships over a mile long attacking? Don't complain or it'll only get worse.

The Reapers you saw on that video just got through the larvae stage, give it time (if they have it)

Really now, surely you can see that in contrast with the other Reapers in the camera's field of view, the one up in the clouds is almost on top of the person filming. That's why it seems so large: perspective.

lol nice work. I misread your earlier post and misinterpreted what you were talking about. I agree with you, the Reapers we see in the footage don't look like they're 2km long.

Funny you should mention old tech out doing high tech. Back in the 1980s when nations started coming out with stealth this and stealth that, electronic countermeasures, and stuff that couldn't be detected on modern radar, the Soviets still had an old WWII radar array in Siberia, and the electronics were vacuum tube based, that could detect any of our stealth stuff, and pretty much anyone else's as well. It operated on a different band. As part of the treaty they had to shut it down to assure Mutually Assured Destruction continued. So sometimes a low tech weapon might be able to do damage whereas a high tech weapon might encounter the proper countermeasures.

totally fixated on the old WWII era radar defeating stealth tech, need to know more about that. oh, yeah. repears come in all shapes and sizes? [duh] not surprising at all

Size isn't everything!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[thatguyhasgone]

Woops my mistake, rewatching the video it is an orbital strike that blows it to the ground. Also noticed the reaper makes a sound very reminiscent of the pods in ''war of the worlds''

At :23 of the same video you see a much larger Reaper coming through the clouds.

Not every Reaper is going to be 2km long, that would be impractical of their part. I think only the oldest and most powerful Reapers exceed 1km. The rest are smaller in order to more efficiently harvest organic life, which is pretty small.

Not to mention that they are really far away, and you have no idea how tall that building is.

600-800 meters is little, could be much worse, like 600-800 miles.

I think it's just because it's a lot closer.

[sephiroth199127]

I think there are different types, the normal common ones , the heavy ones which are hard to kill and the small assassin ones. Using game logic the weak points of the Heavy ones are the red glowy bits and the assassin ones will try and one-hit kill you.

[Weiser_Cain]

They screw up scale a lot if I remember correctly.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

I think this is a great question!  Here is my answer.

High population like humans or asari or turians = plenty of genetic material or minds (not clear which one the Reapers are after) = need to build a large exoskeleton = large Reaper

Small population like krogan or drell or hanar = not much genetic material or minds = no need for a huge exoskeleton = smaller Reaper

A larger Reaper with a lot a diversity would be good for many roles, while a smaller Reaper would probably have less diversity (since you figure a small population indicates a struggling population) and only be good for only a few roles or one role... ground combat Reaper, or flying attack Reaper, or run-fast-and-headbutt-stuff Reaper, or have-emotional-sex-with-Shepard Reaper.

[Ja5ck]

I think the "reaper" that Shepard is shooting at is actually just a really big geth. I don'y have aything to back this up other than it's colour scheme but it makes more sense than a reaper

It looks a wee bit off in the distance, the giant reaper seems to be hovering over the bridge itself... but at second glance, it really does look like it's hovering over the harbor.
