Why do you fight Cannibals during the Prologue mission? Surely the Reapers would not have had enough time or Humans to create them..

Or is it just ![]()

They want to eat you.
It's a case of you not reading.
They're Batarians. Case closed. Good bye.
Cannibals are made of Batarians. Husks are what are made of humans
The arm gun is a human. They are not completely Batarian. So where did they get all the humans from on a 1:1 ratio?
From the human colonies they attacked prior to earth.
Captured Batarian Slaves? Fringe colonies that were attacked first?
What were they supposed to use, harsh language?
They had billions of Batarians, and only thousands of humans. It's a case of lore going out the window for the need of mooks. Don't forget there already were husks in the opening. So just forget the arm is human and call them 100% Batarians.... or just shoot the f******. Whoneedsdetails?
I thought the order of invasion went > batarians > arcturus station > sol > spread out around the galaxy.
Anyway for me the main issue is time; if colonies etc had been wiped out then there would be more notice due to distress signals.
Yeah because that worked so well in ME2...
I am guessing there is a human parts shop somewhere in dark space that delivers on short notice. Sorta like NAPA for auto parts.

I fail to see any exclusively human body parts on that Image? Forgive me if I'm missing something, but what exactly is your point? Is it the human looking arm? Well batarians, aside from their head, look exactly like humans. Why wouldn't a cannibal be able to have a human looking arm?
The cannibal's arm gun is a human body.

I still can't see it in the picture you posted, but looking up other cannibal images, I see what you mean. Since they are packed full with Reaper tech you can still just write it off as some sort of weird mutation just like the cancerous growths on their back. Or it could be a human or husk they ate and absorbed during the battle. I wouldn't think to much of it.

The Codex and artbook also mention they have a grafted human arm. What purpose the arm serves is beyond me though.
One of the jokes about Synthesis always dealt with the different sentient body parts of the experimented husks gaining awareness and having to live with each other.
I thought the husk-for-an-arm thing was something that was tossed around but ultimately rejected. Though maybe I'm confusing the Cannibals with the Ravagers on this... Well, anyway, the batarian worlds are already in the process of being harvested, so that's where the batarian bodies come from, and there are still a handful of husks on Earth, which likely come from colonies that the Reapers hit already as well (or possibly were left over from Collector attacks - since there are still Collector forces in use during 3, there may have been some Collector ship that had taken colonists when Shepard goes after their base and was left with a bunch of humans in their hold and no Reaper fetus to process them into).

Ya, that was the Ravagers. Originally they were going to have the cannons stick out of the mouths of mounted human heads but they opted out of it because it, "was deemed to disgusting."
I wonder why the Reapers converted humans to husks and Cannibal arms when stiching a few together to make Scions seemed like the better use of resources.

Must have something to do with the reason why we do not see any Collectors in ME3SP but fight them in MP ...

I always saw their inclusion in MP as a rule-of-cool thing, since people may have wanted to be able to keep fighting Collectors somehow. In the main story of the game, there would have to be a very important point in the story that gives Shepard a reason to fight them again.
I seriously doubt an arm could ever gain sentience on it's own. In that case it owuldn't be the arm itself but computer harware and software. Unless people belive in ghosts or supernatural transfer of peoples personalities into transplanted parts.
That's another thing I'm not too clear in. I remember the reapers hold people in camps before doing their stuff. Is it indoctrinated people who are the guards? Why do people end up in them? I am guessing we are looking at a death camp scenario, but with non reaper guards.
I assume the reapers can only use live people for husk/marauder creation? I guess the numbers make a lot more sense if they can use corpses.
I never had a problem with Reaper numbers. Now Cerberus numbers, OTOH . . .
