I really do believe Cerberus has some kind of deal going with the Reapers. After Shepard all but destroyed Sovereign by himself the fleet blew up an empty shell the Reapers really took an interest in this little human.
TIM works out a deal and tells the Collectors where to find Shepard. In any case, the Collectors give Cerberus the tech to revive Shepard from death. Apparently the Reapers need Shepard alive.
The whole Collector attack scheme was just to bait Shepard into helping. Then the derelict Reaper. The Collector base was the final chance for the Collectors to incapacitate Shepard and hand him over to their masters. Again, fail. In 3, it looks like Cerberus is going to take matters in their own hands and hand Shepard to the Reapers themselves, or at least try to, heh.
This is only a guess, but it fits evidence. User Info: jbibbles jbibbles 10 years ago 5 Why would Cerberus want to work with the Reapers? User Info: Iokua Iokua 10 years ago 7 The only plausible reason, to me, for TIM to be after Shepard is that he's been indoctrinated by what happened to him in Evolution.
User Info: charlessunkyst charlessunkyst 10 years ago 8 the in-game reason for not wanting a "control chip" put in Shepard's brain is that "TIM was afraid it would alter the way you think" well, maybe it was really the Reapers that didn't want to chance altering the way Shepard thinks.

A small glimmer of hope for us ME3MP fans. During its encounter with Shepard, Leviathan reveals that Harbinger was the first Reaper created, and that it was formed in the image of the Leviathans.
The Catalyst directs the Reapers to harvest the galaxy of advanced life every 50, years, and each harvest ends with the birth of a new Reaper made in Harbinger's image. Mass Effect Wiki Explore.

View source. History Talk By MikeDraws - Thu Aug 09, am. Throughout the entire game of ME2 and even in the Liara comic, they wanted Shepard's body. But for what purpose? I'm guessing it's got something to do with creating the Human-Reaper, but this was never really explain in ME2 and seemed irrelevant in ME3. This is one of those unanswered questions that bugs me. I've played all the Mass Effect games far too many times each.
I'm pretty sure this was never explained. Has this ever been explained in interviews? If not, what're your theories? While studying Collector data in the lab aboard the Normandy SR-2 , Mordin Solus determines that the Reapers indoctrinated the Protheans and compensated for their growing lack of ability due to prolonged indoctrination through cybernetic modifications.
The modifications are beyond any form of repair, each Collector drone being little more than a clone—it's unknown if they even still possess any form of gender—riddled with cybernetics, lacking glands or digestive system, and having any form of intelligence or self-awareness completely eradicated by indoctrination.
Periodically, individual Collector drones are "possessed" by an overseer, referred to as the Collector General who is itself being possessed by the Reaper known as Harbinger. In effect, Harbinger assumes control of individual Collectors to conduct battles personally. Upon possession, a Collector's skin becomes riddled by red-glowing cracks, and the eyes begin to emit a bright orange glow.
Bearing a strong similarity to the husk conversion process used by Sovereign on Saren 's corpse, this is probably due to cybernetic implants throughout a Collector's body. At this point, the drone becomes more resilient and wields powerful biotic attacks.
The Collector General differs considerably from a standard Collector, lacking any humanoid traits, with a much larger head, a short body, and multiple claw-like limbs. Collectors in the mold of the Collector General's appearance exist within some of their ships, taking on similar but localized leadership and coordination roles.
The Collectors arose during the closing years of the Reapers' harvest of the Protheans. The Reapers subjected captured Protheans to extensive genetic experimentation and implanted them with cybernetics.
Eventually, the end result was the Collectors, a race of completely subservient creatures that the Reapers could remotely use as tools. Collectors were deployed against the last Protheans at the end of their cycle. A Prothean plan to place one million of their kind in stasis in bunkers on Eden Prime to wait out the Reapers and then rebuild their empire failed after indoctrinated agents alerted the Reapers. While Reapers razed the Prothean surface cities, Collector Drones infiltrated the bunker system and destroyed hundreds of thousands of occupied stasis pods.
In the end, only the Prothean Javik would survive the onslaught. Once the Reapers concluded their harvest, they departed the galaxy and returned to dark space, while the Collectors retreated beyond the Omega 4 Relay. Thousands of years later, the modern galaxy began to report sightings of the Collectors around CE, but the mysterious aliens were widely dismissed as myths. All known expeditions to investigate the Collectors failed. No vessel that ventured beyond the Omega 4 Relay ever returned, save those of the Collectors themselves.
Some speculated that there was a black hole at the relay's counterpart, but this raised the question of how the Collectors can safely use it.
Another more fantastic explanation is that on the other side of the relay was a paradise which no citizen of Omega would care to leave due to the crime and suffering of the asteroid. A more likely reason was that the Collectors either detained or destroyed any vessels encroaching on their space. The earliest known modern sighting of the Collectors occurred in CE, less than a month after the Battle of the Citadel.
