It was the Spanish Inquisition. Why you might ask? Well it is simple, no one would expect it to be the Spanish Inquisition.

Well blendering humans made a human reaper, so where are the squid things that all the reapers look like, and why are there only that type?

Jenkins. That rat bastard.

Ancient humans.  We're actually the second evolution of this form.



Seriously though, don't expect to find out.  Whoever made the Reapers would be long gone.

Nah your probably right. Thats why we get to "visit" earth in ME3. To find out we did it and the "I WIN" button is burried in Atlantis.

Great...if it's not the Collectors it's a Hive Ship.
Damn Reapers have gotten to everyone!

No one "built" them, they were organic in the begining and modified themselves. later on, they built components to house the genetic history/legacy of the species they conquer and absorb into their "nation." they were probably the first species to reach a point in technology where the melding of flesh and machine was beneficial for their survival. i see mass effect 3 going along as this: reapers gain access to the wider milky way galaxy, begin a great purge, threaten earth and all homeworlds, illusive man uses technology/remenants of collector base and human reaper to combat them but fails, shepard must now unite the galaxy calling on all the races he helped (or didnt help) to aid in building the greatest navy of straships and ground forces the galaxy has seen, depending if you helped liara with the shadow broker (have her aid or have the shadow broker throw a monkey wrench into the mix if you didnt). have the krogan genophage lifted and united under wrex (if u saved him) have the krogan army, have the geth and/or quarian fleet at your disposal (if you rewrote the heretics and helped tali exonerate herself respectively), have the asari republic and turian heirarchy go on full-scale war (access to all their destroyers), have full-backing by the alliance and/or cerberus, have access to the salarian special task force/intelligence, possibly have terminus system's mercenary guild's support (possibly mend wounds with the batarians, maybe aria's aid?), of course have shepard be the spear-point of this last-stand (emotional speech included), then at the very end harbinger and the reapers are thwarted, IMPORTANT i stress this, they should have shepard die at the end either glorious sacrifice or going down swinging in the most bad ass way possible (shepard should be a legend and treated as such)

The Beast took over the ships and changed to the present form. The  Hiigarans tried to fight but lost.

Spiderpig



and ManBearPig built Spiderpig

[Mr. MannlyMan]

Bear Grylls... he ate some mucus off a space rock that crashed to Earth, it evolved him into a giant tentacle machine, after which he traveled backwards through time and created his own "female" tentacle monster machine to have babies with. Therefore, a big fleet of Reapers.



He's back, though, and hungry for more human a**.

Couldn't have been them.. I expected that.

[dgcatanisiri]

I have this theory that the Reapers were built by a species and then, for one reason or another, after they'd been around for about fifty thousand years or so, they die off. The machines remain and continue building themselves and the creators fade into memory as the older machines break down and the newer ones were created by the machines. After fifty thousand years, there are new races and such on the galactic scene. By now, the creators have this mythical nature to the machines, and then these races don't die out. Because the creators had died off after that time, and since mere mortals shouldn't outlast their gods, the machines get the idea to wipe them out. And that creates our cycle.

At least, that's my theory. Sovreign tries to pass it off as being 'beyond our organic minds,' but frankly, that's got to be reaper arrogance, not a genuine fact. Because the reapers are machines, something had to create them, and odds are, that something was organic.

[ObserverStatus]

ah yes, "reapers"

[tallon1982]

The Protheans created them and they turned on them just like the Geth turned on the Quarians. -shrugs- Sort of the whole time flows like a river, and history repeats deal.

[vkt62]

It could be that they were created as a civilization backup by the first civilization (Hence forthe known as FC). The Reapers were programmed to come back every ~50000 years to update their databases with all the civilization's information (biological, technical, spiritual, etc) and return back to a safe location. But after certains years/cycles, the FC either got annihilated in a war among themselves in between the cycle or the Reaper programming got corrupted and things went south but the Reapers kept coming back as they were programmed to do. A vanguard was always left to evaluate whether the time had come to backup the civilization by calling the Reapers.

Or it could be that this whole universe is just a computer simulation run by some species on a super computer and the Reapers are the antivirus or bug removers?

WHO built them isn't the issue; they're millions of years old, whatever did is dead and gone. WHY they were built is what's fascinating. I like the ideas that were already presented: their makers sought to make themselves immortal by merging with machines, or they simply kept rebuilding and modifying themselves after their creators were long gone until they were no longer anything like what they were designed to do.



I have another theory: that they were an experiment some ancient civilization conducted to better understand the more fuzzy aspects of organic life. They built machines with nothing more than the goal to survive and make more of themselves and set them loose to study them, watching them play out a synthetic parody of natural evolution and adaptation. However, when the time came to shut the project down, these ancient scientists suddenly realized that trying to kill something that has no purpose other than its own survival is a very, very bad idea.



Cue a very long and messy war, millions of years of subsequent adaptations, aaaannnddd welcome to the bottom of the food chain, puny organics!

The reapers were one of the first ancient species who walked like giant among stars.

A larval reaper.

I'm at a loss here, when it comes to figuring out why peole so often come back to this assumption that the finished "human" Reaper was going to be flying through space with one fist extended like a Double-Grande-Terminator-Superman.

The Reapers predate the Protheans by millions of years.
