I just finished playing through ME1 for like the 5th time on 1 character to get a characer set for ME2. I noticed at the end there was a VI named Vigil on ilos. he said something about protheans being enslaved but not killed although many were killed. i have a feeling that the enslaved protheans might be collectors because in a dev diary about the enemies in the game they say it seems there technology comes from reapers.

Let me know what u think.

That's not a bad idea, except that the Prothean statues and architecture on Ilos look nothing like the Collectors. It's possible that the Collectors are from a civilization wiped out by the Reapers, but it's unlikely that they are Protheans.
Also, Vigil says that those Protheans were enslaved for the purpose of infiltrating and sabotaging other colonies. They might not have been kept around once they've outlived their usefulness.

Also, didnt Vigil say that Ilos was the last Prothean Outpost? And how the stasis pods failed and only scientists were left?

The protheans are thin humanoids, with long hands and squid faces. The Collectors are giant bugs. Thus, the protheans cannot be the collectors

Husks are glowing blue zombie-looking creatures that don't talk - thus the husks cannot be humans.

I believe that the Collectors were once Prothean, captured and genetically altered by the Reapers to be slaves to them. If anyone REALLY wants to discuss this with OPEN MINDED people see my (top) sig.

Considering you find out from the Reapers them self's that they've been "Completing the cycle," long before Prothean's existed, I would have to say not likely. From my understanding Reapers could be millions of years old, this doesn't exclude them as a possibility (Protheans) but why not any other race up to then?

Well, this IS a forum... Why not try answering that question?

My only guess would be they were the race that advanced the most and had the biology simular to what the Reapers were looking for in the concept of altering DNA to make 'collector' race sort to speak.  If I were to speculate anyway

Although the Reapers would of had to be made by someone at some point, which unless Reapers upgraded themselfs to the advanced stage they are, I would say the race that created the Reapers would be the most advanced. :x

That doesn't make any sense. Saying a big bug like creature is not a Prothian (a clearly humanoid creature), is in no way similar to saying a Husk (a clearly humanoid creature) is not a Human (another clearly humanoid creature).

I have not actually seen the Collectors yet though, so I don't know just how bug like they are. But if they are connected to the Reapers, it seems more likely that they are an engineered race much like the Keepers on Citadel Station.

However, the Reapers appear to destroy, not collect. So unless it's some intricate plot by another left behind Reaper to figure out a way to activate the Citadel relay to bring it's brethren back, I don't really see a connection.

My own theory is that the Collectors where "the ones that got away" from the Reapers, and have since then been "collecting" the species of the galaxy before the Reapers wipe them out, as a sort of way to "carry on their legacy".

[Apophis2412]

The Reapers have genetically modified a race before, the Keepers. So it isn't that far off to suggest they modified the Protheans.

And if the Collectors are connected to the Reapers, it would explain where they got their advanced technology.

However the truth about a possible connection between the Reapers, Collectors and Protheans is already known.. Since this is a no-spoiler forum, follow the link in my signature or kaff333nd's for an answer.

I think it's probably safe to assume the Reapers upgraded themselves ALA the Geth. For all we know, the race that created the Reapers could have been at the same level as the Protheans, Asari, Humans, etc.

I bet its all some huge galactic domination plot created by the quarians, to get back at the citadel council.
