I made a response post in the latest collection of reapers after Lord_Set cranked out what he got, here it is as follows.

It would be cool but not sure how it would work as a unit, if anything it would work as a cheap form of new reaper or be useful as a resource/power source like its remnants are in me3 but as a research structure instead of a unit, have it fit as a processor for all the harvested species genetic paste and its tech/culture.
this was my response to the thought of the human reaper.
since we never saw it in full action and it was most likely just Harbingers attempt to capture Shepard's fury and skill through his species, it would have a purpose unknown to anyone but the original concept designers.
So with that in mind I thought it could either be a cheap manufacturable reaper one which wouldn't need to be called and can be easily produced as a unit capital with weak kinetics and hull but strong weapons. this would have to be balanced correctly enough so it could use less fleet supply and still be a decent front line unit designed to be expendable.
And with that I also thought to have it in a resource/research capacity, see my fitting idea for it in lore terms would be to have it just as the massive supply and accountant clerk for the reaper forces. this would give it the function in lore sense as a major processor for the harvested species and its technology. so I figured in sins terms it would be a great set of research structures, have one reaper (Civilian Structure) as the organic mass processor, and the other (military structure) as the technology processor.
Organic Processor, has large storage units/vats, and 2 large valves with the reaper itself in the center.
Technology Processor, has prothean data storage units stacked behind it with cables attached to the reaper. there would be a large circular port in the front of the reaper to act as a depository.
Both of these would be structures not moving reapers that defy the sins engine....or they could be with the Vasari Tech set...damn now it opened up a whole new line of thought, I'll come up with some Ideas then drop it in a new post later.
I started thinking down this line when I remembered how in both outcomes of the collector base destruction gave different war assets on the reaper itself (keep it intact,human reaper brain to act as computer)///(Destroy it,Human Reaper Heart to act as power source), so I thought the reaper might be a great research structure based on the 2 assets.
I hope at least this is a good Idea.

We need to brainstorm as some of the most active people on the forums
