The reapers have returned from dark space. With Earth under attack and the mass relays in a state of chaos from refugees and the councils fleet engaging reaper forces the galaxy is a mess. The outcome is unknown, the warfare is devastating. The galaxy will never be the same.

Description
You guys are probably thinking, hey these Reapers are coming out awful quickly. Indeed they are, because when i was making Sovereign i created all the independent reaper parts. The reason these are coming out so quickly is because on my end all im doing is assembling them and changing and modifying some of the parts. Otherwise here is Harbinger.
I've only really seen the front side of harbinger really well but this looks awesome! :D
One thing I'm curious about: how are the Reapers going to be voiced? It doesn't seem like there would be enough usable in-game quotes. Are you going to have members of the team do the voices and just add effects?
I have a long list of potential voice actors and all it really takes are some simple effects to create that noticeable reaper sound.
should watch the bioware pulse about the sound effects of the reapers and take notes :)
Just use a damn garbage can lid
smart move using the same parts for all the Reapers. makes things much easier and things go much faster.
Indeed, assembly line complex. While I am going back and adding detail and what have you, it allows me to get the basic design down without having to worry about remodeling everything from scratch.
So there's a Sovereign class, and now an unspecified class? Mysteriously epic! What role would Harbinger play?
Buffs, he is most likely going to have an increased indoctrination effect.
What will the affects of indoctrination be?
Prolonged battles it will convert smaller ships in your fleet to the reaper fleet. There will be tech upgrades to slow or cancel this effect.
so it will this be a passive ability or something that will require activation and antimatter (I like the first idea :)
Also this would be cool to encourage citadel fleets to have quick guerrila style combat.
It looks just like Harbinger great job, have you thought about having an (assuming direct control ability)? (If not) maybe it could only buffing Collector or Geth ships giving better fire rates or something along those lines
I believe that the 'assuming direct control' ability is the 'indoctrination effect' that Set mentioned.
in the games indoctrination is slow and takes over minds of other beings making them do their biding but do not have control of there actions, assuming direct control Reapers are capable of assuming control of any individual (Collector, or other modified beings like Saren Arterius)
Now we know Harbinger fires his laser really quick as evident by Mass Effect 3, is that something you could put in?
Another thing, you said that the Reapers have the Indoctrination ability in game and slowely take over the enemy ships. When a ship is taken over you should put in the audio "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"
*SPOILER* the Harbinger looks different, its rumored to be the massive yellow eyed one with two legs that completely owns Shepard at the end of ME3
isn't Harbinger a Sovereign Class Dreadnought as well? I thought that they said in ME3 in the battle of Earth that several Sovereign Class Dreadnought including Harbinger left the battle and headed straight for London...
