A dedicated Mass Effect fan has built a miniature LEGO replica of the fearsome Reapers. These ancient mechanical warships served as the main antagonists of the original Mass Effect trilogy, a threat that was so great that the fully customizable Commander Shepard was tasked with gathering together a squad of allies from across the Milky Way galaxy in order to halt their devastating mission of annihilating all organic life from the universe.
Details about the ominous Reapers were unveiled slowly throughout the first three entries in BioWare’s massively successful Mass Effect series, with the citizens of the Milky Way initially believing them to be a mythical deity worshiped by the synthetic Geth. The stories turned out to be very real in the first Mass Effect game, which saw the rogue Turian Specter Saren Arterius fall under the sway of a Reaper named Sovereign as the first part of the larger invasion to come. While the Reapers briefly stepped out of focus during 2009’s Mass Effect 2, their shadow still fell over events as Commander Shepard formed an uneasy alliance with the human terrorist group Cerberus to uncover a plot involving the Reaper-allied Collectors. Everything came to a head in 2011’s Mass Effect 3, which saw the various races of the galaxy unite against the Reapers as they unleashed their final assault. Shepard was able to put an end to the Reaper threat during Mass Effect 3’s controversial ending, but at a great cost to themselves and the galaxy at large.
