What about Thane fighting ''space ninja'? Almost every scene with him had something memorable in it, from the badass interrogation in M2 right up till his final one. They were all handled pretty great.

Agreed, Thresher Maw was always fun in ME1, and Kalros was truly epic... A place where a decision mattered.

Hehe, yeah my canon Shep was sole survivor, so the ME3 scene felt like an epic rite of passage for that Shep.. it was glorious.

There was a bit featuring a creature that looks like it could give the thresher maw a run for its money, though I'm wondering if that bit was cut from the final game, since we never got an in-depth look at the gameplay.

Thresher Maws I'll miss them. Space Bears will never be better then a legendary thresher maw, Kalros

fighting a Reaper that's just epic. Till BioWare can top that ME3 scene I'll stay with this train of thought.

Don't worry, Kalros will miss you too. :excited:

Btw, does anybody know how old Thresher maws can be? Is it possible that Kalros is still alive after 600 years?

I was pretty much sick of thresher maws by ME3, but Kalros was great and the best way for the species to exit the series. We hit peak thresher maw with her and I don't think that peformance can be topped, so we should just leave it at that.

From one of the images or scenes it looks like we get a great big metal thresher maw type of thing no?

According to the codex entry:

Threshers reproduce via spores that lie dormant for millennia, yet are robust enough to survive prolonged periods in deep space and atmospheric re-entry. As a result, thresher spores appear on many worlds, spread by previous generations of space travelers.

If the species is old enough, there is a small chance they could be in Andromeda as well. Or maybe someone took one with them to the Andromeda "for science".

Who says you have to fight them in the Mako/Nomad? The thresher in ME2 during Grunt's rite of passage and Kalros in ME3 were epic.

Na, because of cutscene stupidity - in truth Thane could have blasted Kai "I am such a badass, I carry a sword in a gun fight" Leng, but the writers didn't allow it and in the end Thane died (sure he was already dying but I still didn't much like that scene! Mordin's death was handled way better!)

ps: I'd also love the maws back (instead of mechanical dragons which frankly make no fucking sense at all!)

While I did like the Kalros scene in ME3, in general I hated the Thresher Maws and would not want them back.

I mean If the encounters with thresher maws in Andromeda are anything like Kalros or Grunt's loyalty mission then that's totally cool.

What I hated in ME1 when you were driving on a planet and came upon a large, flat landscape you just knew in a second a thresher maw would spawn under you and send you flying 100 meters into the air. They weren't hard to kill or anything but with the clunky mechanics of the Mako it was really something.
