So the lore is that every 50000 years the Reapers come and turn all Organic life into a new Reaper right? And this has been going on for so long that there are thousands of them. But what about that first cycle after the God Brat made the first Reaper. They lost to one damn Reaper?

They turn one species into a Capital Ship and the others into Destroyers and other unseen lesser models. The Leviathans were turned into Harbinger but I wouldn't be surprised if the Catalyst turned all the thrall species of the Leviathans into Reapers as well.

[Wulfram]

I guess they had a whole bunch of robot minions that fell out of use once they got enough Reapers. Or they started out by Reaperising a bunch of relatively primitive species to build up their forces.

Plus dozens of Destroyer Reapers made from the subservient species. Also, they had the Citadel trap and being able to isolate systems. It wasn't until their numbers grew that they got "cocky".

That would defeat the purpose of the 50,000 year timer, as well as the Catalyst's "mercy" system.

The second generation chose Synthesis.

[DeinonSlayer]

Who says they started off with a 50,000 year cycle? The plan likely adapted over time to fit the resources the brat had available.

[TLGB]

 It would be likely that said 'God Child' would have conveted the Leviathan's thralls into destroyers considering their natural indoctrination abilities these would already have been weakened and open to reaper suggestion

[Steelcan]

50,000 years isn't a definite time span. Sovereign scanned every so often and when the cycle was ready the harvest started.

It's also likely that the first Reapers were simply the warships the Leviathans had. Remember the goo process isn't used to build the reaper, but is rather process by which minds are uploaded to it.

When you're dealing with a species as large as the Leviathans, I think it's a lot different than Protheans or Humans. In the later cases, it would take millions of a species to make one Reaper. But the Leviathans, I figure only takes one.

I don't know how many Leviathans existed though, some probably died in the war, but others became Reapers.

Harbinger is one badass mofo. Yeah he solo'd wiping out the galaxy on platinum with just AI Hack and Dominate, what of it?

[tonofluck21]

Probably had an army of husks (or pawns) left over from the previous cycle of thrall races.

[just.a.dude]

The early cycles started laughing so hard when thewy saw the star child that they could not defend themselves.

[WarGriffin]

The implicaition is that the Catalyst had an older set of pawns which is what he used to overthrow the Leviathans

He most likely used them for a few dozen cycles till he had reapers... also the Catalyst isn't above corrupting Synthetics and organics to fight his war for him. -The Metacon and the Rachni Wars were just the Reapers softening up everybody-


Ten bucks these Proto-Reapers are gonna show up.

They went to Radio Shack and Auto Zone for the parts.

You guys really need to read the books.

The Leviathans could take out one reaper like nothing. So I'm sure the reapers didn't just go in with a few ships and foot soldiers. The catalyst could have taken control of all the synthetics and wiped the leviathans out, and over time just kept gaining foot soldiers like the collectors and made more and more reapers along the way. We don't truly no when the first cycle was the leviathans could be millions of years old. Also what the hell or the harvesters based off a previous race or just jumbled up parts.

The Catalyst used console commands.

[KingZayd]

It may not have always been about 50,000 year gap. I'm guessing species were reaped when they were even more primitive back then.

[Vespervin]

Didn't the Catalyst state that it was given a fleet to "find a solution" to the "chaos"? I guess he used this fleet to harvest the Leviathans, and then had Harbinger and that fleet to start the cycle. The gap between the first cycle could of been a very long time. Enough time for the Catalyst to construct what was needed for the second cycles harvest.
