I just finished the game and discovered the horandous Human Reaper Larva...

But does this mean that we can assume the other Reapers got their looks on an older species...


A super advanced and old Octopus species to be exact.         0.o dun dun dun

How about a flea squid?

Hanar reapers ftw.

I hereby christen the lead Reaper ship as Cthulhu.

cuttlefish. in space.



That is all.

Why not Prothean? They look like squid men

[Mystranna Kelteel]

There must have been a lot of squid-dudes back in the day to make so many reapers.



It took, what, hundreds of thousands to make the human one? And the human one is tiny compared to the other reapers, so these squid dudes must have been insanely numerous. (Assuming that is indeed how these other reapers were created)

The whole concept of the Reapers is based on Cthulhu and the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Wait wait... I just realised how stupid what I said was, there would need to be someone to kidnapped the Octopus people, but these are the first reapers.





So I'm thinking the Octopus people were actually themselves the Reapers all along they just decided to become super large and awesome ships. (It's a weird Octopus people thing.)

i think that their form was the original living creatures. the ones that originally made the mass relays and tech like that.

Speaking of the millions of innocent humans that made that horrendous human reaper larvae..why? I mean..you need pureed genetic material to make a cybernetic evul killer android? Which..is basically what it was?

Normally the thing about DNA is that you don't need a lot of it LOL.

Sez who?

I agree with your idea about reaper origin though. My guess is that they were an ancient race that kept augmenting their bodies cybernetically, to the point where personal memories and personalities were converted to digital form. They were probably all sterile by that point and began using a different process to create more of themselves, which developed into what we find at the end of ME2.

Harbinger even says during fighting him that species live on due to them using their organics to create a reaper. IMO, every reaper is different looking but has some qualities that are the same. Thinking back from ME1, the Geth worshipped the reapers, yet they were only around since about 300 years ago. Plus their ships looks very similar to Sovereign, who was the cuttlefish looking one. So were the Reapers the cause of the Geth actually becoming self aware and true AI? Its totally possible as i look at it now. Harbinger however, did look different, he looked more like a collector head and some similarities of a horse-shoe crab.

This is very likely. At the very least, the first Reaper. This race must have been extremely advanced, though.

The fact that the Collectors were forced to gather so many humans shortly after the death of Sovereign means one thing: They populate their ranks with a certain number. It apparently would seem that whatever race was capable of taking down a Reaper would be used to make the new one.

Keep in mind that the Reapers are as large, or larger, than dreadnought-class starships. The Human-Reaper, if you tossed proportion in and completed its probable body, would not be as large as a dreadnought. It is likely that ships we see are simply vessels, designed in a manner similar to how the originals were, and used as a cocoon.

Uh I could be wrong here, but Harbinger looked like a normal Collector except he glowed ..am I wrong?

I'm sure the ships are meant to appear similar to Sovereign, but those ships are heretic ships and not necessarily -geth- ships. Legion is the only true geth who ever left the Perseus Veil.
I don't think the reapers were responsible for the geth being the way they are. Geth were always AIs, ever since they were made and put in to quarian service.

Harbinger is a reaper who was directly controlling the collectors.

But what if Sovereign found out 300 years ago that the relay would work due him not knowing that the protheans actually hotfixed it with the code, and so he went traveling around and somehow maybe provoked the true AI Geth into uprising. If i remember Tali even speaks about how they really didn't even know what provoked the Geth uprising. Maybe after this, Sovereign saw the capability and gave them some tech and built ships similar to him in praise of him or something of that nature. But then it wouldnt really explain why he waited 300 years to seek out a lone Spectre.

The Reapers are probably taking epigenetics into consideration.

It's possible just for construction purposes. Maybe they needed all that organic goo just for making the insides or something.

Or maybe they wanted to cover the entire human genome. There are a lot more than 6 billion humans, and some mutations probably occured over the past 200 years. Mordin also notes that humans have surprising genetic variety, which explains why they'd need so many humans to cover the genome, since they're doing it blindly.

[Matterialize]

The way the material was just being pumped into the larva, I think it's probably being used more for physical construction than anything else. But the fact that they specifically need humans for it argues against that. Maybe we'll find out in ME3.

If Sovereign provoked the original geth uprising why wouldn't he make them all loyal to him?  This is a terrible theory because it makes no sense.
