what are those bug things then? the one on the collector base that Harbinger uses to control the Collectors? is that a genetically modified Prothean or a completely different species?

They're genetically modified Prothean fetuses.

Well - since they look like crustaceans... and lobsters and crabs are all feeble little meet strings out of their shells... maybe husking a Prothean requires it to be de-shelled.

Honestly - these first world problems should be that upsetting.

So goodd valid points from alot of posters. . . .my take now is the top pic was orginal what BW was going for as a protheans but. . .ME2 they made the collectors . . . fast forward to ME3 . . . .BW decided protheans should resemble collectors some what . . . .so minor recon. . . .the tubed faced race will be a race of ppl the orginal protheans assimilated into their empire after being conquered . . . Much like the roman empire did in ancient times. . .

I wonder if the prothean is Ksad Ishan, the head of the Ilos facility. Or maybe he was just the janitor.

Heh, would be funny running around with the prothean equivalent of Fry from Futurama.

The top tenticle alien-statue is a race that pre-ceeds the protheans. They aren't the protheans. The second image is a Collector. And the bottom is a Prothean. The reapers enslaved and heavily transformed/mutated the protheans into Collectors. "Prothy" is a true Prothean.

So let me guess "Nazara"?

It's in the leaks. Ilos belonged to the Inusannon 127,000 years ago.

Yeah, it was a retcon. But for some
reason, people seem to think retcons are inherently bad. This is
obviously not the case, at least concerning this issue.

I feared this may be the case post-post,

I haven't and won't be viewing the leaked script,

 

I apologise to those whom i called liars if this is indeed true, though there still seems to a lot of confusion inbetween the people who believe it's a retcon and disaprove of it (like me) and those who quote the leaked script and say this was always intended.

You seem to have grasped the link between the two arguments correctly IMO

though i still staunchly disaprove of the descision.

Maybe it's more of a combination of a number of ideas here and maybe there's an actual lore reason that they aren't ready to reveal yet.

Perhaps the Protheans studied the Inusannon or Arthenn husks that were left behind and they became part of Prothean creation mythology... hence the statues.

Only eventually the Protheans finally understood what happened to the Inusannon (their gods) after the arrival of the Reapers and the message sent out across Prothean space contains a visual representation of the plight of the Inusannon (their gods) as a warning/explanation of their fate and the cycle [to other Protheans].

Basically the gist of the message was that citadel and the Mass relays weren't Inusannon or Arthenn technology... they were reaper technology and it was a trap.

Can anyone link me to the source this image is from?

If people in ME started hating on the Prothean guy, then Shepard organised a counter-protest to support him, he'd have to call it a Pro-Prothean rally

Design changes like the evolving Prothean look don't bother me nearly as much as the way ME2 and ME3 place far too much emphasis on the Protheans, confusing a lot of more recent ME fans into thinking that the Protheans were the creators of the Citadel, the first spacefaring civilisation, the only species to be wiped out by the Reapers, etc. The Protheans are just the victims of the previous round of the ongoing Reaper cycle, who got lucky with the Keeper blocking signal, allowing the current space-faring civilisations a short breather.  

Which they haven't really done anything useful with at all...

I hope the DLC Prothean spends all of his time REALLY angry at everyone, since his entire civilisation spent its final moments giving the current intelligent life a fighting chance that was completely wasted.

It's not Bioware's problem that people can't/won't read planet descriptions and the Codex or pay attention to the dialogue.

It's from the new "Art Of The Mass Effect Universe" book.  Also, here's the promo banner for the DLC:

Remember Batarians before "Bring Down the Sky"? If not, here is a remainder:



They changed their mainds about how they would look. Myself I was a little dissapointed of how they (Protheans) look now but it's not a big deal.

oh yeah . . . forgot about that. . . valid point

Batarians are explained to look like that in thje books also. One of the things they disslike about humans are their short necks and small heads.

Just the first novel, which came out almost seven months before the game did.

[Eclipse merc]

I don't think the first one was a Prothean

[Medhia Nox]

I think it would be awesome if Batarians were Protheans which had evolved to adapt to their new homeworld (animals don't evolve "forward")

The appearances aren't close enough to seem plausible - but I think it would be interesting that the race that saved us - also gave us the biggest slavers in the galaxy (and I would reveal in the future that the Prothean race were a bunch of slavers as well.)

That's not how evolution works, unless they started having off-springs in their half dead stasis beds.

Prothean was used to describe a wide variety of races united under a single empire, the Protheans. Read in the spoilers group for more info.

[Machazareel]

I gotta be honest. When I first heard about a DLC character, I was hoping it would be Blasto.

Vigil says Protheans are one species.

 I know this has been talk about before during ME2's time . . . .but please can someone explain to me how prothean
images from ME1 show them as looking like this :

I too don't remember anywhere stating that the statues are actually litteral depictions of Protheans. My theory is that they (statues) are another ancient race, that could of been (dare I say) subordinates or even slaves to the Protheans. Their obviously statues of 'husk-ed' creatures. Who's to say the Protheans didn't sacrifice that race to survive elsewhere. IMO I don't think Protheans will be necessarily revealed as good guys. Just because they're ancient and left data disks everywhere in ME1, doesn't mean they were a noble empire.
