@@mostovoy48 Dunno man. those Leviathan's were pretty big. And there probably where quite a lot of them. Harbinger may be the first but who is to say he was the only one they made in that first cycle? And the " lesser" species that where subjugated by the Leviathan's where probably converted into destroyers (smaller reapers) like the reapers themselves usually do with less favourable species. Probably in the earlier cycles the reapers didn't wait 50.000 years to start the harvest. Compensate for their still limited numbers by harvesting earlier when galactic civilization was less advanced and widespread, but still advanced enough to be worth harvesting. Also it's very likely that the current strategy used by the Reapers wasn't used from the very beginning, but developed gradually over time through trial and error. Finally keep in mind that ' our' cycle is very different from those of previous species. From what Vigil, Javik and "vendetta" (prothean VI on Thesia) said it's pretty clear that the reapers normally seize the Citadel right away and limiting or downright denying access to the Mass Relay network for organic species. Making them easier prey in the process. They didn't have the chance to launch a massive counter attack like 'we' did in mass Effect 3.

Harbinger has had a, almost annoyingly lack of presence in the trilogy Like it makes sense in the first game because it was the initial set up to the reapers and sovereign made his lack presence until the end work because it builds the mystery of what he is, and then that conversation with him on virmire, hmm that was a thing of beauty, arguably one of the beauty scenes in the whole series. But then we had the collecters who again made the lack of presence, with the exception of the 3 missions they're in, to again build up the mystery of their species But then we get a villain who's apparently the very first reaper (Yea if you didn't buy any of the dlc bet you didn't know that before clicking on the video, thanks EA) who supposedly single handily murder/harvested the the entire galaxy one time (if you don't count those he indoctrinated first) who's has only ONE CONVERSATION AND IT'S IN DLC! and screen time under 15 minutes as this video shows even less if again you don't buy any of the dlc So disappointing

I wish Harbinger was more explored in ME2, for example it was him who infiltrated Blue Suns, Eclipse and Blood Pack by making a deal: "You give us humans from raids, colonies etc and in exchange we give you extra cool weapons and upgrades to your combat, biotic and tech abilities,", saving the fact that those gifts were making mercs more suspectible to their benefactor and finally making them indoctrinated, especially their leaders. For example: - 3 merc groups hate each other, right? But it would be Collectors who would play on their egos to make them join forces to take down an Archangel (whom Harbinger knew who he really was, unlike mercs) and later convinve them to continue this alliance to overthrow Aria and rule Omega. Once in total and tyrannical control of the station, they would give all human citizens to their "friends" all they wanted, completely unaware of the fact that at the same time a renegade band of Blood Pack Vorcha worked with the Collectors to kill every single non-human on Omega (except themselves of course) to become also total masters of the station and hand over human survivors to their "friends". It would make Harbinger more than just infamous Shepard killer and human kidnapper, but also an evil mastermind, who in truth unofficially controlled whole Terminus System, with Omega being one of the last places where he is not in power and for that he wished Aria dead. With Shepard's purge on all indoctrinated mercs in ME2, Harbinger's control over them would be broken and in ME3 Aria would use this opportunity to take control of them in a fight against the Reapers.

A cool nod to Harbingers power would have been him taking off from Earth and going up to space to meet you when the fleets arrive. He just positions himself at the center and starts firing, burst shots of up to 8 lasers just demolishing the allied forces. Gives you a bit of a scare that not even the entire might of the galaxy is too much for him. Than, once at Earth he does this exact scene and up with the Catalyst he mounts the crucible and the citadel trying to stop you, the last battle is fighting him off by directing precision shots from the entire Quarian flotilla AND the Normandy Thannix canons as the rest of the forces engage other reapers and the Turian/Asari hold the line. Finally, a cutscene plays showing that after all the punishment he took from 50,001 ships his shields are down. Harbinger destroys part of the citadel causing a vacuum. The Quarians and Normandy continue to shoot only to find out his shields are already back to full strength. Shepard is holding onto a beam as everything is sucked out of the room, Harbinger speaks: *"We have warned you Human. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater."* Shepard looks at him, terrified, he continues *"We have completed the cycle a number of times so great, you would not comprehend. No cycle had the privilege of their own name be called by us. You, are no different, Shepard."* Than based on your class selection, Shepard either releases a massive Biotic shock that destroys the catalyst, triggering the destroy ending. Uses a Biotic charge to propell himself into the Synthesis or manages to grab onto the conduit to trigger the control ending. Either way, the scene continues *"Well... you do know MY name!" Shepard smiles in defiance and the choice is up to you.

@@ForsakenDreamer7 I find it interesting that the Reapers keep diverting back to an insectoid build, even in indoctrination. Look at the Collectors, and even the Sovereign Class Reapers. They prefer insectoid to humanoid life, at least in terms of appearance. Obviously Harbinger only looks like that because of the Leviathan Purge but after that, they kept forming Leviathan Reapers. Instead of taking the look of another race, because that's what the "essence juice" they took from humans did. It is basically everything about that race broken down into data fluid. And that fluid creates the reaper in the form it knows, which is why we saw an all human reaper take a human form.

Im a fan of the indoctrination theory, and Whenever i think about a possible mass effect 4, one of the first scenes i think of his Harbinger being hit by joker with the normandy. At full speed with no ftl jump like in the last jedi (as it would break the lore of mass effect, needing mass relays to jump into ftl speeds.) Just as fast as possible, hitting into harbinger like a MAC round. Possibly even disabling him, like with the turians using asteroids against the krogan. This would mean joker edi and most of the crew would die, unless joker dropped them off where hammer set up their FOB, or with shield once the cruicible came.

It's interesting considering the fact that the Collector General looks... vastly different from the other Collectors. Makes you wonder if the Collector General was made *by* the Reapers. Not from a Prothean.

I loved the third game to bits but he was severely underused in it. I understood we couldn’t have him as a boss fight. The dude destroyed the entire galaxy multiple times by himself but, it would’ve been good if he was there a lot more. Maybe even rub the fact that earth has been taken by the reapers at the start of the game.
