Are the Prothean Statues on Ilos Reapers but in their organic form? They share loads of similarities aesthetically to the cuttlefish Reaper Machines we see now and the Protheans have statues of them, which could also be explained. So do you think they are?

Hmmm...I really like that Idea...would be very interesting to see unfold...
Hope their backstory is fleshed out completely in ME3!

I always thought the reapers looked like those red bugs crawling around on everything. Their appendages look more like a bug's segmented legs than tentacles...

Those are Cthulu that's what a Prothean looks like.

Since the Prothean squadmate most closely resembles the Collectors, I'm assuming the statues on Ilos were of a species that preceeded the Protheans (Pre-Protheans?).

Well they are kinda prothean, but they are really not. Same way like Gallians are not really Romans, except they are when Roman empire took them over.

They are huskified protheans.

The protheans built their facilities on top of a destroyed civilization, the Inusannon. The statues on Ilos were more than likely built by said destroyed civilization.

They're a species known only as the "retcon".

Well I think that the statues on Ilos are protheans. (Which is also supported by their appearance in the beacon flashbacks)
That means that they either retconned their looks with me2 or that the prothean squadmember is already a reaper changed one that regained his will.
EDIT: actually the second possibility is pretty reasonable, since I just remembered that the Prothean Codex entry from me2 resembles the statues on Ilos

I think the hypothesis that those statues are huskified Protheans is valid, but what I thought the first time I saw them was that they're the representation of some kind of Prothean deity. Like when you see an egyptian Horus statue and you don't ask yourself if that statue is a human.

Or like when you look at a Cubist Picasso painting, artwork is often not an exact realist replication.

Yeah, I posted this in someone else's Prothean Statue thread; that thing about Egyptian statues.Blankeflos wrote...
