The collectors created the Reapers, They are in hiding from them, trying to find out how to destroy their creation. Thats why they are now abducting humans because Shep. killed soverign and they want to find out how a human could do it.
ME3- Shep teams up with Collectors to destroy all Reapers.
I'm probably, most likley wrong, it's far-fetched however at least im thinking of stuff.

I've heard worse, someone posted a very detailed theory on the legacy forums that I tend to subscribe to.

I'll see if i can dig up the post, hopefully you can still search the legacy forums.
Found it, it was reposted by a troll but it wasn't changed in any way that I know of.

Interesting. Along the lines of my idea of it as well.

Interesting idea, though there's a tiny flaw. What have the Collectors been doing all these millions of years?

It doesn't add up, if they reapers are ancient it would mean that the collectors are ancient, which would mean that their technology should be way more advanced then what it is now. Collectors=indoctrinated.

Anything is possible in sci fi, but I found strong evidence in ME 1 today that the Reapers are over 27 million years old. So imagine how old the Collectors would have to be. It's unlikely.

Also, they kill all organic life, collectors are organic.

The Collectors are more likely a recent evolution of species that the Reapers find useful maybe even developing between the time the Protheans were wiped out and the present.

Sorry, I meant 37 million years, not 27. For anyone curious, check out the description on the Mass Effect wikia, or in game of planet Klendagon. Today is the first day I actually read the description.

It's possible, the collectors wouldn't be able to travel the rest of the galaxy for fear they could be caught, therfore they don't have the resources to advance ery quickly. They are still way more advanced than any other spiecies, besides when you think about it we don't really know anything about them. It's possible, but then again I also said its lame and I'm most likley wrong.

As far as an origins story goes, I'm more in favor of something like this:
The reapers were the first technologically advanced organics in the galaxy; they became so advanced that eventually they physically merged with technology in a kind of singularity event (anybody read Ray Kurzweil?). They realized in order to sustain this existence they'd need huge amounts of energy and thus began the cycle of extinction, based upon their system of mass relays.
In spite of this, I think the Collectors are just pawns to the reapers, like the Geth in ME1.

I subscribe to the Collectors as Reaper builders theory, having foolishly thought I had come up with it first. It sorta makes sense what with Sovereign's talk of "Each of us is a nation."

When he says that, then I think about how the husks are being smashed together to make Reaper-like enemies it doesn't seem so far fetched that Reapers are the husks of entire nations of species around the galaxy. Maybe I'm just reading too far into his statement though

If this is true, then it's very lame indeed, because if the collectors have been around since the start of the Reaper cycles and before, they should have had the means to destroy the Reapers since forever. 50,000 years between cullings. They clearly have technology far beyond current races, and if they had 50,000 years between cullings to build a fleet of warships, that is a LONG TIME. Humans built enough ships to kill a reaper with vastly inferior tech in under 100 years with minimal resources compared to what the collectors would have to work with over 50,000 years.
If they've been here for at least 150,000 years (minimum 2 cycle before the Protheans), they should have discovered every technology that there is to discover, and it would thus be a matter of building their army and destroying the Reapers.
Also, they could trivially trap Reapers in darkspace by blowing up the citadel with huge bombs.

Even though its boring, the Collectors are probably just being used as tools by another Reaper left in the Milky Way.
Hopefully the writers can conjure up more imagination than i can

My (lame) theory was along the lines of the collectors invented the reapers to make members of a species a limited edition. In terms of collecting things one being isn't very special when there are billions just like it. But when you have the last few beings of an entire race it raises the value. Toss in humans being the first to defeat a reaper it raises our value even higher so they are collecting entire colonies.
