Well it makes no sense if you try to put our science onto the Fictional Mass Effect universe, but neither does Mass Effect fields or Lightsabers for that matter. Please describe what a Geth looks like in the Mass Effect universe? Wait, don’t bother and Geth are 1 and 0. The physical form is merely a platform, so they can look like whatever platform they install themselves into. In the more intelligent platforms, such as Legion there are 1,183 Geth programs in that body.

So what do Reapers look like? They are AI too and far more advanced than the Geth and we are told over and over the Cycle repeats itself, so it doesn’t take a leap to figure out Reapers look like 0 and 1 too and they can look like whatever platform they are housed in.

Why does ME2 look like a giant baby terminator? They explain that it is being built with Human DNA and the also explain both in ME2 and ME3 that it is merely the skeleton. However, I just think they choice that form because of it functionality for the final boss battle in ME2. There is no need for it to look human since it purpose is only to store data on the dominate species of the cycle and destroy organics in this and future cycles. My biggest two question is 1) how did Cerberus get their hands on the remains of the skeleton (I destroyed the base and the System Alliance had control of the only ship that could get there, well besides the reapers themselves) 2) Why are humans considered the dominate species of this cycle?

The 2nd question is pretty welled answered in both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. Mordin goes into depth about how humans are superior genetically to the other races. I would have still said the Asari, but it is repeated that depending on other species for reproduction is a weakness , not sure why that matters to a Reaper, and the Asari were cheating with the technological superiority as seen with their hidden Prothean Beacon on Thessia.

Sorry humans were not merely picked because your Shepard was a bad ass (although really humans were pick because of Shepard just the writers had to justify it by giving all the other races weaknesses that the humans did not have).
