The question is if the Reapers did improve their technology in all those years. If the Reapers have always been successful with each cycle then they may have never seen the need to make any sort of technological advancement beyond what they have. Their usual modus operandi until Shepard's cycle led me to believe that this was the case. There is also a direct quote from Suvi or Peebee that mentioned remnant technology is not as advanced as the Prothean ruins in Mars. Remnant tech is harder to use because Prothean tech is plug and play. Also, nothing in the MW can even remotely compare to Sovereign in the first encounter. Katt who are less advance than MW have no problem taking out Remnant ships. Finally, the Reapers harvest and absorb countless civilization, to assume they didn't progress is not realistic. Why would the Jardaan who had to flee stand a chance against the victor of countless battles? They manage to destroy old Jardaan fighters, not any actual Jardaan warships of significance, which we haven't seen aside from the one that is buried. Also, just because they fled something, does not mean they couldn't resist the Reapers. We don't know what exactly they were fleeing from, aside from the Scourge, which would likely even destroy Reapers. |

Again, Reapers are not constructs that will sit around and let the Scourge grab them. If ships can out run them; which many did, the Reapers can too. Aside from terraforming, what is so "advance" about the Jardaan? Those Jardaan tech are only a few hundred years old, not ancient. also, none of the things the scourge destroyed in Andromeda has the shields Reapers have. Not even close. Nothing the Jardaan left behind hints to a super advance race. |

It wasn't really their technology though, they stumbled upon the ruins of a previous civilization (the inusannon) same as humans did on Mars. Anyway: Leviathans > Reapers > ... > Jardaan > ... > Protheans > primitives aka Milky Way races > kett There simply is no proof of that. Just because the Jardaan is more advance in terraforming does not make them more advance than Protheans. That is like saying Katt is more advance than Asari because they are advance in genetics. It's not as much about terraforming itself (though a massive feat in its own right) as the scale and scope of their engineering. There's nothing to indicate that Protheans had anything remotely comparable to Meridian and the vault network, all interconencted and spanning at least the entire Heleus cluster. They'd have to have built the Citadel and mass relays themselves to top that, which of course isn't the case. But of course you're right in that there's no definite proof so it's all somewhat conjectural at the moment. |

It would only make sense if they were significantly more advanced than any race in the history of the Milky Way seeing as Milky Way races are only given 50,000 years to advance and the Jardaan have had what.....millions of years? No mass genocides courtesy of the Reapers here
