Krogan were converted into Brutes

Turians were converted into Marauders

Asari were converted into Banshees

Batarians were converted into Cannibals

Humans were converted into Husks, Scions, and Praetorians

 

 

But...why were there never any quarian or salarian reaper forces? I can understand Quarians being RARE so I assumed they'd be some kind of "boss unit" like banshees or brutes (i'm imagining some kind of stealth/support/assassin unity), but no salarians?

 

 

Were there plans to have those two races as reaper forces as well, or was it NEVER going to be a thing?

 

Apologies if this has been answered before I've never seen it.

The nature of the Quarians' poor immune system likely prevented too much Reaper experimentation. At the very least, it would hinder their combat effectiveness.

 

And I think it's explained somewhere that Salarians would make poor husks as their very short lifespans combined with the adrenaline process which turns things into husks would mean instant death.

 

Also, both of these races kept out of the war longer than the others if I'm not mistaken, so reapers likely didn't have enough time to test with them.

 

Also also, making two other classes of enemies is simply more work, and BioWare was rushed as it was.

Salarians make sense, but the immune system doesn't seem like it'd be a factor.  I mean who cares if the quarian dies, they are being zombified, right?  Plus didn't Grunt mention that aside from the immune systems, Quarians actually have very tough bodies (based on the insectoid limp structure, I'm guessing they are semi-chitinous.)

Zombie isn't exactly the right term. Husks are still alive, they're just part robot and have almost zero brains, so the immune system would still be a concern.

Would have loved to see husks like these in the game.

Where did you get that krogans were turned into brutes?   It makes sense....   I'm just wondering where you got it from.

The brute is a hulking amalgamation of turian and krogan victims of the Reapers. Because tissue from dextro-protein species like the turians is incompatible with levo-protein species like the krogan, implants regulate the brute's body chemistry to combat organ rejection.

 

It is the fusion of turian military skill and krogan blood rage that makes the brute such a formidable enemy, capable of destroying armored vehicles to get to the soldiers inside. Troops are advised to keep their distance, and, whenever possible, not engage a brute alone.

After the Monastery mission Tali asks EDI why there are no reaperized Quarians and EDI gives an answer.

 

As to the Salarians, since their worlds had not yet been attacked, the reapers hadn't had a chance yet to get their hands on very many.

Those are really awesome.

 

I like how it would have incorporated drones for quarians and STG skills as reaper husks.

Simple enough, I suppose.  Not enough subjects to come up with a "standard" troop.

Yeah, that artist did a really good job. Here are a few others:

If Quarian's were "reaperized", I picture them being fast runners. Just going by the shape of their legs. Salarian's would probably be turned into some type of wall crawler or stealth unit. According to Mass Effect, they evolved from lizards right?

BioWare ran out of time.

Running isn't really a feature in Mass Effect, unless you mean them always sprinting at you like Destroyers and Krogan from ME1.  And yeah I can see Salarians being the return of the geth hoppers from ME1.

[Nitrocuban]

Let's just say there sure where reaperized [whatever] but we just did not see them in ME3.

[L. Han]

Time constraints and engine limitations. We are talking about Unreal Engine here. There were plenty of ideas for Reapers that could teleport around and crawl around the environment (similar to Geth hoppers) but were all scrapped for that reason.

 

And BioWare has worked on this engine for years with technical support from Epic Games. With the new Frostbite engine, EA will either have to put on some serious schooling for the teams or people have to severely reduce their expectations

Pretty much this.

EDI is wrong, if you listen to Harbinger.

Not right for Baby Terminator =/= Not right for Reaper troops.

He also states the asari suffer their own genetic weakness and that turians are too primitive, yet ...

[Rosstoration]

Salarian space is a lot closer to the galactic core than most other planets, so simply, the Reapers didn't reach Sur'kesh until the battle for Earth was already beginning. The Reapers never really managed to get a mass of salarian's available for genetic testing to see how they could be "Reaperised" so to be speak. We know that when a homeplanet or a core planet of a race falls, we begin to see Reaper variants of that race. It probably takes a few millions of a species to perfect the transformation process.

 

The quarian's had no planet or centralised location to attack.
