Hear me out, this isn't some rant about how I hate Geth (cause I don't.)

 

but based on what we know of their history, and composition(?), there seems like they don't actually need or should want to follow their creators, or any other sentient race from the Milky Way Galaxy into Andromeda. They races numbers don't really seem to be in jeopardy, as one platform can hold millions of Geth, they can reproduce more platforms like a factory can produce toy soldiers or cars, they don't need sleep, food or water. The Geth platform could I assume download its entire race or whats left of it, and go into hiding anywhere within the Milky Way Galaxy, bury itself and wait out the next 1000 years or so then reactivate itself and prep for the return of the reapers, and or even send out a retrieval ship for the other sentient beings who fled the Milky Way, assuming of course they knew of the Andromeda plan.

 

 

We know the Reapers don't always find every last single member of every race they exterminate, as Protheans existed into the new cycle having created the Asari and taught them Math, and Javik surviving in Cryostasis. Liara in the refusal ending even manages to send a message to the future inhabitants of the Milky Way, so tech can go unharvested by the reapers as well, so in my opinion my idea doesn't seem so far fetched.

The only Protheans to survive past the Reaper invasion was Javik, who was in stasis, and the scientists on Ilos, who died shortly after going to the Citadel and messing with the Keeper signal. The Prothean interaction with the Asari happened before the Reaper invasion. 

 

As for the Geth, while they could hide, the Geth are very logical beings, and will have more than one way to ensure their survival. Some may decide that hiding in the galaxy is the best option, while others would agree that leaving the galaxy is the best option. The ones who think that would go on the ship leaving the galaxy. 

 

Which would be great for the other races, since the Geth make the perfect crew for the ship. They don't need food, water, air, space, gravity, or anything else other than enough power to keep their systems online. The organic races can go into stasis, and the Geth would crew the ship. That would save a ton of resources since all that would be needed is enough power for the stasis pods and the systems the Geth are in, rather than powering the entire ship.

Not only is it a strange day when I agree with Hanny, but its a strange day where I'm not sitting around on the BSN posting random jibberish.

Considering that the Geth simply allowed the 'heretics' to leave the collective without issue further shows that not all of the Geth will come to the same conclusion. Some might just hang out on Rannoch and some might go worshiping Space Cthulu. With this in mind, it is not impossible to believe that some Geth might decide that exodus is the logical answer.

But, as we don't know when the expedition to Andromeda begins, we cannot come to a conclusion as to why any amount of Geth, at that stage in time, would tag along regardless of if the organics were aware of their presence.

I never thought about it from that angle. They would make the ideal skeleton crew, while the others are in the cryostasis. Well, if the timeline and the storyline supports it, of course.

[laudable11]

The Geth are cool. Mass Effect: Andromeda is a video game. Video games should have cool things in them to make them interesting.

There you go.

[Ahglock]

Geth would be terrible for the crew. They'd murder you 1 day in to save resources for themselves. Never trust a toaster it will always burn you.

[Suketchi]

Never trust a toaster, it will always burn you.

 

My toaster has never burnt me... I think your toaster just doesn't like you.  

[Mcfly616]

I'd rather just leave the old tin cans behind. Hopefully we come across more interesting ones in Andromeda.

[Steelcan]

Having the geth go with you would only make sense under a few circumstances, namely an alliance with the geth or if the quarians had made new ones/took control of some, which in turn assumes the quarians are also going

[Ahglock]

My toaster has never burnt me..

Yet!

[SporkFu]

I don't see why the geth couldn't have their own motivations for wanting to journey to another galaxy.

[Panda]

I think it would depend a bit why we are going to Andromeda and when did we left. I get your point, it might not made lot of sense for Geth to be in Andromeda, but maybe one reason for having Geth with us could be that they want information of the new galaxy which they do not have information about and can't maybe form consensus about it, because of that?

Im pretty sure ME3 Thessia explains several times, that the Asari were visited by the Protheans, and that through their experiments they were altered, this is in additional to the ciphers the Asari had found throughout their long dominance as the most advanced race, their own mythology even lends itself to this fact, images of early gods/goddess looking very much like Protheans, something they couldn't have just been coincidence given that these where coming from cave paintings or stone carvings, at which point they wouldn't have had the ability to just activate holographic projections and cobble images from those, even early weapons they claimed came from their gods were physical which means they must have had a physical presence amongst the Asari. Considering Javik out right said, communication between the various branches of the empire broke down, and that sections were doing their own thing after the loss of communication, its not all that hard to piece together that the Protheans who made contact with the Asari likely lived and died amongst them.

I think you're using your toaster wrong. 

[Broganisity]

It could, however, be altogether possible for the Geth to, in the search for more worlds for their Creators (should they return one day), travel to another galaxy to find a planet suitable or near suitable to Quarian physiology and then spend an extended period of time terraforming it.

Just because they could appear in Andromeda doesn't mean it has to have been because of a mutual voyage.

Yes, the Protheans were altering and educating the Asari, but that was before the Reaper invasion. When the Reapers attacked, the Protheans left the Asari and the other races they were in the process of uplifting alone in hopes the Reapers would see them as too primitive to harvest.

I get this feeling that they won't brings Geths to Andromeda BUT they are going to bring Quarians.....then you can guess what will happen

This is the only way I could see them realistically appear in MEA. The only point in the trilogy where Geth would be trusted enough to accompany the Ark is after Rannoch. And that is too late into the Reaper invasion to launch the Ark. I think the Ark would need to be launched before the Reapers hit Earth. But why couldn't the Geth have separately left the Milky Way?

[Berta]

While i love the geth they should not be 'forced' into the story of andromeda. Give me a hella good reason they should come and i might agree but otherwise? Nouuu.

[Catastrophy]

Hahaha. "Reason" - we have ... But then again it's fiction where anything goes and someone might just want to annoy the Quarian Master Race.

[Asari Goddess]

Don't worry, if the Geth don't appear the Quarians might build a new synthetic race to fill the empty geth void inside them and start a new war.

Javik said that they were following potential candidates to join the empire, but as soon as Reaper invasion has started they´ve decided to stop the operations, so that Reapers would see those races as too primitive. Protheans were observing even Earth...

[LemurFromTheId]

There doesn't seem to be any reason why the Geth shouldn't come to Andromeda.

[Neoleviathan]

Geth leaving the milky way makes sense. The milky way seems like a dangerous place, trying to sneak around the reapers is too much trouble. Machine race doesn't have as much to worry about sending themselves across dark space. Majority of Geth are too attached to Rannoch to leave, but a small group sent out is just good strategy. They probably even got a much earlier start at vacating the galaxy. So if the Reapers or Quarians wipe out the Geth, the group sent to Andromeda still has a chance. It still risky though. Going to a galaxy that hasn't had the meatbags cleansed repeatedly by Reapers means there must be many god-like hyper advanced races that have had immense spans of time to evolve & advance their tech.

They races numbers don't really seem to be in jeopardy, as one platform can hold millions of Geth, they can reproduce more platforms like a factory can produce toy soldiers or cars, they don't need sleep, food or water. The Geth platform could I assume download its entire race or whats left of it, and go into hiding anywhere within the Milky Way Galaxy, bury itself and wait out the next 1000 years or so then reactivate itself and prep for the return of the reapers, and or even send out a retrieval ship for the other sentient beings who fled the Milky Way, assuming of course they knew of the Andromeda plan.

The largest number of geth in one platform we know of is Legion with 1183. They still need/use large server banks. One geth carrying around his whole race doesn´t work as far as we know or the geth wouldn´t have built a dyson swarm.
