So... about the apparently new enemies seen in one of the screenshots here:
http://masseffect.bi...nloads/citadel/

It's probably nothing, but when I saw them, I was reminded of this quote from Leviathan:

"It created an army of pawns that searched the galaxy, gathering this data. There was no warning, no reason given when they turned against us. Only slaughter."

Could these enemies be the catalyst's pawns that Leviathan mentions? 

They look somewhat synthetic, with the legion style antennae on their backs, but are unlike anything we've seen so far. It also fits the citadel theme.
I'm probably completely wrong though. Image IPB *

EDIT- As kindly pointed out by Millsenberry, it's equally possibly that they are not synthetic at all. The backpacks also resemble the keepers. As servants of the catalyst, they could be an organic race and similarly controlled/created, using modern weapons and the cover of the armor to blend in as normal.
* Note theImage IPB disclaimer to perhaps not take this too seriously!

Other possible explanations mentioned in the thread-

Elite troops guarding the citadel- Given that the mission can only be accessed after the coup, perhaps the council resorts to desperate measures, stationing these troops around the Citadel. Logo on the arm doesn't match any previously seen council iconography, however. Seems more probable that they are opponents as well.

Special forces/black ops/rogue element etc. of any of the more humanoid races-
Batarians, Humans, Asari, Drell. Motives unknown.

Armax combat arena bots/opponents- Synthetic or organic enemies, who can be fought in the combat arena mentioned in the DLC description. Again, logo on the arm does not match the armax symbol.

Reaper minions/indoctrinated

Raloi-
Seems unlikely

Cerberus Infiltrators/mercs

Previous acquaintances out for vengeance- Toombs, etc Hard to say who fits the bill and is guaranteed survival to this point in the trilogy.

Keepers- Could actually be a derivative of the keepers themselves, sharing the same origins and master.

They are the Citadel guard or something. Like the secret service would be my guess. And they are clearly not synthetic.

Look at that pic. What part of that screams synthetic to you? They are just some humanoid figures wearing armor.

And the logo appears to be he Citadel tower logo, not Alliance. And why focus on the gun? When have guns in cutscenes EVER accurately reflected what they should in ME3?

I don't think even I believe it really Image IPB

Maybe they're not trying to give away that they are actually million year old synthetics, and are using modern weapons to blend in? idk...

Looks like a quick reaction force from the citadel.

Dude that looks nothing like the Alliance logo. It does, however, strongly resemble the Citadel tower logo from ME1...and wouldn't that make way more sense anyways?

TBH, I do actually think they look somewhat robotic. I was hoping for some sort of conspiracy.  Shepard's chillin' on the citadel, suddenly ambushed by these things and they disappear before you can get a good look at them, setting up the plot for the dlc.

But if that's indeed the citadel tower logo, which I didn't recognise myself (well spotted BTW), then it's probably time I take off my tin foil hat. Image IPB

Hmmm. Now I see it, I suppose it doesn't.

The plot thickens!

the armor those guys are wearing reminds me a lot of the keepers. those lights on the lower abdomen look like keepers eyes. & the antenna on their backpack (?) looks like those on the back of keepers.
i hope we get to furbish shep's new quarters with it's very own keeper...  :o

Probably soldiers that are under the control of the Reapers and/or Harbinger.

You, Sir, are on to something. Think I might edit this into the original post.

The Catalyst may have the same ability as his creators: controlling organic minds.

This keeper idea is fascinating, and nobody said The Intelligence couldn't control organic minds like Leviathan.

Raloi.

"Due to an outbreak of the H7N7 flu virus that infected the avian raloi during the opening ceremonies on their planet, the raloi on the Citadel will wear environmental suits whenever they are in contact with an alien species."

I can hope, no?
