The shots from the main ships have always been yellow... and you did get an exploding Reaper or two.
Lazy viewer is lazy.
There is no reason to put them yellow instead of blue. Not to be offensive, but WHY wouldn't the Alliance, Turians, Asari, and Salarians (because let's face it, nobody else has enough money/military power to pull that off) retrofit their cruisers with these guns? Something that hardcore. . . ESPECIALLY the Alliance. The Batarians hate humans, they've had Geth attacks on colonies, mercenaries and pirates are constantly trying to prey on them. . . AND WE BELIEVE IN THE REAPERS! Why not have the Alliance, at least, retrofit their main cruisers with these nasty nasty weapons? There's no reason they wouldn't at least TRY.
PS. using past execution as an indication of future actions is flawed logic. The shots from main cannons were yellow in ME1. ME2 had Normandy's blue Thanix Cannon, and the Collector Ship's yellow particle cannon (for some odd reason, particle weaponry is team colorable). There wasn't a real reason to stick with the colors 3, except for . . . actually, I can't really think of one.
Plus, we had ONE Reaper lose a tentacle. None of the Reapers exploded/died/got destroyed. Not like Sovereign in ME1.
