Since the statues on Ilos look nothing like the Protheans, I remember Javik saying that the Inusannon went to Illos. Is it also possible that the prothean beacons show their destruction as well since the Protheans had some contact with the Thorian which may have had knowledge of the Inusannon?
So those statues on Ilos were actually the Inusannon?

Probably just retcon. They needed to make the Protheans look more like Collectors. So instead of calling those statues Protheans, now they're Inusannon.

Yeah the statues were of what the previous cycles protheans are to our cycle. Illos was built in/on the ruins of one of their destroyed cities

wich makes sense considering ilos was a secret facility, it would not make sense to put statues of them outside in plain view if they are hiding from the Reapers

How is that a retcon? There was no real offical picture of a prothean.PsychoticBiotic wrote...

Because I believe that those statues were originally intended to be Protheans. This explains why Shepard sees the tentacle people in his visions. I think this is the more plausible explanation than what the OP is suggesting, although I do like the idea.dreman9999 wrote...

Except they used the style of the statues to create the Codex image for the entry on Protheans.

It seems that they might what attacks Aria and the rest of Omega during the events of Invasion.

It was clearly a retcon, but I don't think this one's really that big a deal.

If the endings were good I bet no one would have even noticed this, or if they did most people would have been like "Oh lulz"

Well with all those statues on Illos I'm sure Cerberus could find some DNA of the Inusannon laying around to clone and mess around with Reaper-tech. That being said, maybe I'm just digging to much into this, but it seems very possible considering the Thorians ties to being ancient and I doubt that Thorian was the only one of it's species. I'm sure there were more and they probably met all KINDS of speices over the years, hell they may be the closet thing to the same age as the Reapers if maybe off by a few thousand years.

Well, the "Protheans" were made up of multiple races. It could be those statues were one of the subservient races whom were either responsible for building the facility or were the majority of the beings who were working the faculty.

They showed those aliens being turned into Collector's in the visions, therefore Retcon.
Never mind the fact that the artbook tells you that they are Prothean.
And just FYI, they don't tell you those statues are Inusannon in ME3, either. You're just supposed to believe so.

Statues were originally meant to present Protheans. This is evident from comparing Shepard's Prothean visions from ME1 and ME2. In ME2 version there is Collector pasted in vision. Look videos from Youtube and watch frame by frame, all look for ME2 spoilers forum for Didy's post about the subject.
I think there might be two reasons behind the change.
1. Animation issues with original design.
2. BioWare might wanted Prothean character to be easier to approach, and so him more human (ET :-P) like.

Those were Protheans, they weren't Protheans by Javiks standards, there were Protheans as they were apart of same Prothean Empire. The version of these Prothean, husk versions, appear on Omega when cerberus takes over.

That is incorrect.
From ME Wiki:
"In Mass Effect 3, the Prothean Javik reveals that Ilos was once inhabited by the extinct inusannon before the Protheans discovered the world and colonized it themselves."

That does not mean that those statues are of inusannon make.

I'd be more inclined to pass Javik's appearence off as non-canon.* What I took from ME2 was that the collectors had been so mutated and were so different from what Protheans looked like that nobody ever made the connection until you find the DNA samples on the collector ship.
*what harm can it do now, ME3 is already a complete hash.
