Have you ever noticed that in mass effect 2, the [spoiler] Harbinger [/spoiler] looks kind of like the alien from Independence day? Heres a look:

Erm well I guess this is a fairly subjective thing but I would have to say a Reaper looks nothing like the aliens in Independence day.

I think you posted the wrong alien. That's the exo-skeleton, which is really the body of another species the alien invaders inhabit. The "real" ID4 alien looks like this:

(the one on the right:P )

And yes, Harbinger totally looks like that creature.

The pilot from Farscape looks like Harbinger too.

Yeah that was the worst part of the game. Also a little too easy.

He looked like a cockroach to me :P

The end boss was even more anticlimactic.

Also:

[spoiler] Releasing control :P [/spoiler]

I just used my trusty "M82." Yeah, I know the game calls it something else, but I just call it the M82. But yeah, that boss was really easy.

The Collector General does look like the alien from Independence Day. And come to think of it, Shepard does upload a virus that can help destroy/save the station :P

Harbinger is a reaper. What you're referring to is a collector.

^ yeah this, there is no way you can think a Reaper looks like the alien out of independence day. The Collector General does have a passing resemblance but then the Collector General isn't called Harbinger :P
