Yep. Plus, it's not like she didn't take out a Reaper destroyer on foot in the games proper.Ghost_msl said:

No, she used a Cain. But it's not hard to believe that a Solar can out-punch a Cain.Daedwartin said:
Yep. A Malfean-focussed Slayer isn't going to be trivially punching out a giant mecha like that, and they're better at making their punches into pseudo-nuclear explosions than Solars.Synapse said:
Now, on the other hand, the Reaper punched by such an Infernal is going to start dying of magical radiation poisoning which doesn't care that the Reaper is a robot; it's still got all its internal systems shutting down from Green Sun Wasting. Which actually opens some... interesting options for Garrus, because TAW!Lunars have access to near-Kimbery-level Poisons and chest-burster diseases.
Fortunately he's too low Essence for that.Synapse said:
For now.
(Also, considering the chest-bursting monster is made by the Lunar from mutations from their form library... uh. Well, considering the things that Garrus has been killing, it's going to be made mostly of sapient beings. Or Turian Velociraptors. Or Seeker's combat form things)
(Huh)
(Garrus can now turn into them because he's killed them. And will retain the capacity even when this fight is over.)

Watching, from on high. Arms folded, iridescent form older, more defined, he watches the battle. He counts almost all of them; Save for the Serenity, they are there. Fighting the forces of Seeker and her Infinite Factory, leading the forces of Eden Prime and stalemating her. The circle. This universe's answer to the Celestial Host, limited as they are.
And they still accomplish wonders.
The Catalyst, Jaded Gatemaker of Ages, watches the battle. Watches the stalemate. It is precarious- save for the Prothean and the Serenity, they are young but eager. They know of the Cycle and are positioned to...interrupt it.
But the Cycle is too well built. Too stable. He watches, musing on the words that She told him. Time was their ally, but it may abandon them. But how? What would turn the favor of the universe against them?
Gatemaker.
The great golden form of their lord and leader appears before him. No longer seeing himself as he once was. He embraced his change like none other ever had. The great eight armed god machine hovers above him, the many eyes staring down on him not with contempt, just...certainty.
"Yes."
Open a conduit to Eden Prime. Shepard has been found. I will direct this personally.

Didact? Shoo, back to the Haloverse with you.GreggHL said:
Ahem.
I think this would be an appropriate time for what'shisface, the Reaper that seems to be loyal to the Exalted rather than Harby, to show up. Two elder Reapers duelling would be quite the spectacle to behold.

Well, we don't know what Leviathan is at this point. And him coming in may mess the gravity of the system up due to size.Ginger Maniac said:

Oh yeah, that's his name. I just sort of assumed he was a Reaper from the style of the name.GreggHL said:
And ships that aren't allowed to orbit worlds with oceans or unstable crusts are the best ships.
Looking forward to it.

So there was two of him running around at one point. Weird.GreggHL said:
Shogun roughly translates to 'supreme military leader' or 'commander in chief,' so it's a pretty awesome name yes.Renewal said:
Also, is it just me or is Harbinger's reason for chasing after Shepard in this universe the fact that she's his heir/reincarnation and he wants to make sure she's up to snuff for Reaperfication?

Liquefying the meat-shell and forging the higher soul into the consciousness of a new almost-equal is the opposite to the tsun-mode: it is an open, honest declaration that you want your target body and soul. Is there truer love than that?Megaguiras said:

Bursts of lightning, and the Destroyers achieve orbit over Eden Prime. Six legs tucked underneath them, they sound their great horns in the thin atmosphere surrounding the planet, the five eyes spreading red light against the black metal of their hull. They rise, the soft cricket and low moan of the Reapers marking their passage.
Slaved to the will of Seeker, they turn upon the battlefield beneath their mistress. Plates retract along their bows, fire chambers gathering red light.
And then one explodes. A mass accelerator round the size of a soda can hits one in the side and rips into it, kinetic force and explosive energy tearing a hole in the Destroyer's head and sending it spinning off. The others turn, blaring their horns as the rounds begin slamming against their hulls.
They see the cruisers, the frigates. Miniscule compared to them. Power less than what they, even lesser to the Greater Reapers, can bring to bear. Engines flaring and guns pointed towards the Reapers, they approach the planet from the Relay. Bits of metal glance off the kinetic barriers of the destroyers, falling into the atmosphere and burning up.
And then they see the ship behind them, just as another round arcs around the planet and smashes one in the face.
On the bridge of her dreadnought, the red haired captain tents her hands in front of her face and grins.
"SSV Normandy," Hannah Shepard says, "This is the Fifth Fleet. We are here to lend assistance."

A hand comes down on the back of her chair. She glances to the side and nods to the white haired man standing next to her. "Eden Prime Militia," he says, "This is Admiral Hackett. Put me in touch with your commanding officer."
Between her chair and the half circle of sensor stations, a blue image appears. It resolves into a young woman in combat armor, saluting them both and holding a rifle in her free hand. "Admiral Hackett, Captain Shepard. Emily Wong, acting Lieutenant. The CO is currently indisposed."
Hannah cocks an eyebrow. Hackett folds his hands behind him. "Indisposed, Lieutenant?"
"Sending you the satellite feeds now." The girl disappears, and becomes a screen, just in time to for them to see the flash of light as a walking tank is torn in two by a six armed man. No, no. Not man. A man doesn't have those many eyes. Slowly, deliberately, the alien turns as it hears the beeping, the screen resolving into an image of his giant head.
