Technically they are the collectors, but they've been changed so much that you can't really consider them to be anymore. It's like calling a potato chip a vegetable. Sure that's where it came from, but it's far from one anymore. At least in my opinion...

Errr...potatoes aren't vegetables to begin with...analogy failure.

Err what are potatoes then

Yeah, if it's not a vegetable then I have no idea what it is...

The Collectors were explained to have bits of Prothean DNA but EDI also stated that their physical structure is no longer the same.

So while the Collectors ARE former Protheans, it's not what they looked like.

For the most part, I, prefer NOT to agree with most of you humans, however, This is correct^^^^.

This what we all think is correct, until we do the n7 mission where the original look of the protheans is revealed.....they look just like collectors. The physical outward appearances of the collectors IS what the prothean's looked like.

I was disappointed too, but there it is.

Mordin explains how the reapers turned the Protheans into collectors, whatever they used to look like that or not, is another issue.

[Chasedanger]

I do believe they kind of looked like what you see now as the collectors, even in the choppy visions in ME1. But until it's confirmed by the folks that write the game who knows what the whole deal is.

For the ump-teenth time, that was a prothean warning about the collectors.  The collector image is shown instead of the charging reaper in the original vision from ME1.  It's a warning, not a "hey this is what we look like guys, just a heads up".

[Skilled Seeker]

We already know what the Protheans looked like. Remember the statues on Ilos or the vision from the beacon or the husk Prothean in the Codex entry about them. And no I don't want to meet an alive Prothean after all those years that would be silly.

p.s They look like Davy Jones from PotC.

The protheans looked nothing like Collectors before their DNA was changed.

The Collectors are not Protheans. There's only one strand of similar DNA between them.

They are protheans. Play the game, read codex, do N7 missions. Protheans were modified. That doesn't imply their aspect changed. As proved in N7 beacon mission, they didn't.

The Reapers completely rewrote the genetic material of the original Protean DNA until an entirely different race was created, the Collectors. It goes well beyond simple modifying.

Besides, one look at them and it's extremely clear, the Collectors are nothing like the Protheans.

The original physical shape of the Protheans prior to their indoctrination and servitude to the Reapers is shown in Mass Effect. In the visions from the original Prothean beacon, and the statues on the planet Ilos. The Collectors current form is a result of extensive genetic and technological modifications on their original genome. EDI and Mordin both share this with Shepard. Also, look at the Codex listing for the Protheans in ME2 and the picture is a Prothean Husk, as they were before the Reapers modified them extensively.

Let me help you out.  It's like calling a Ford Mustang a sports car.  Technically it is, but at the lowest common denominator.

From what I've read and this is just an opinion, potatoes are vegetables. They are known as root vegetables, which means that they are grown under ground as opposed to above ground. I've also read that starch is what is in the potato and not the potato itself.

Have people who are asking this question played ME1 and seen the sitting statues of the Protheans Ilos? I mean come on....

[CdnNinja]

I've managed to derail this topic into a discussion about what a Potato technically is.



I'm not sure if that's a win or a fail.

[jimmyjoefro]

Potatoes are grown in the ground. They're a fracking vegetable.

I don't want to say anything snarky or rude, but clearly potatos are vegetables, dude.

I'm sorry but in the long run. The collectors are no longer the Protheans. PAy attention in the game and yes I saw the side vision. It didn't prove anything all I saw was this..

[Kyle Dei]

I think if the collectors looked like a Prothean Shep would have said 'ZOMG it's a prothean!' But he didn't. Collecter's do not look like Prothean's. Statues on Ilos is proof. And the image of the collector could mean that the reapers have always had another race under their control, just like the keepers.

Its a better argument than the original one.

[The_Awesome_Sloth]

you guys are only speculating that the protheans look different due to genetic modification, and while the reapers did mess with their genes, it doesnt mean those changes were aesthetic, they may very well look the same, but are mentally different.

Yup, Protheans didn't look like Collectors. That's the result of DNA manipulation.

The vision is part of the same message that was sent out by Vigil and the Prothean survivors. People have got to remember there was a big timespan between the Reaper's arrival and the complete collection of genetic material. The Collectors were likely already made before they left, hence their inclusion in the warning vision.

[SmilingMirror]

its entirely possible that those statues were of another race, or that some of the protheans changed into the collectors almost immediately.



EDI says their DNA structure has changed. Bits of the "junk" DNA were removed or altered. not their actual physical features. To be fair, it was hinted by the crew members that the keepers were something different too, and they take on an insect appearance as well.



there just isn't enough information to know yet, but either guess seems logically sound to me.
