User blog comment:Legionwrex/Reaper vs thresher maw, who would win/@comment-1900300-20110413153646

Has anyone considered the fact that, for all their power, the Reaper is at a disadvantage on a planet, in atmosphere. Reapers are built as space-ships, not atmosphere. It is already clear from Soverigien that in order to land on a planet, considering its size and weight, the Reaper must use a large amount of energy from its mass effect core. it cant move fast, its shields and weapons would be weaker as it has less energy to draw on and Tuchancha's hostile enviroment (lightning storms etc) may inconvieneic it further. In contrast, the thresure maw can move fast, burn it with acid to bypass kinetic barriers, and attack weak points in the structure (joints etc). Reapers are big and tough, but they are not gods.
