User blog comment:LDR/Possible Reaper Motive/@comment-2250460-20120224052116

As to what the Reapers true motives are, one can only. They are outside of organic thought. As Shiala said, It would be like trying to explain color to a person with no eyes. However, I will tell you what are not the Reapers motives or origins. First, the Reapers are not doing this simpily for reproduction, that is way to obvious and the Protheans would have cought on, not to mention that kind of major spoiler would not be revealed in ME2. Second, i'm sick of this annoying theory that the Reapers managed to destroy their creators, it is over used and is WAY TO OBVIOUS to be the case, that would make the Reapers a geth clone
